  1. I asked for the light, if you raised it, the bottom leaves might not get enough anymore and the plant just shuts some down... they also die by age, done their shift, but shouldn't happen after 6 weeks. As long as a plant is growing fast, she is in no lock down.. that they have, when they stop growing. So she is still growing normal, but has some issues with spots and yellow.. the yellow doesn't fit to the Calcium issue.. so welcome to hemp growing I am rather reluctant to agree with the 6.5 watering.. first you need to test your soils Ph. The result will tell you if you flush or add some CalMag
  2. Primary nutrition only gets blocked from absorption when your Ph goes 5.5 and under in soil.. not sure he reached that with the numbers he provided... so get a soil Ph meter and see where you stand, rest is guessing.. I hate guessing And just keep in mind.. your plants need also some dry time at the roots. After the hot summer, people like to over water.. plants need a lot less water now. Forgot half ^^ You have more of those brown spots.. what can also point to a Calcium deficiency. But still.. what light, how often do you feed?
  3. What light do you use and light cycle? How often do you water your plants? (bottom feed or top feed?) We all learn.. there is nobody knowing all Ph range for soil is 6-7 ... where a liquid with 6 is already 10 times more acidic compared to a 7. That is the theory.. and the Ph window you play with. After that the battle ground opens and heads clash In general you enter "opinion" ground. Some like that, some like that and because nothing is recorded or each bean differs in genetics.. hard to say which is better. My personal opinion on fertilizers and Ph... if you use a biological fertilizer and rain water in organic soil, the micro life should keep all in balance.. if you damage that micro life, your Ph will swing out of range. If you use a chemical fertilizer or tap water, i suggest to bring your feeding liquid in the needed range of 6-7, before you feed your plants. Others might suggest otherwise.. best is to test yourself and see what you prefer as a result. What brings to the point.. soil Ph is what you keep happy. I don't think with those pics, that you have any nute issue.. I thought all your leaves start to yellow ^^ can't feel them, but they still look "leathery" and "heavy" to me. So back to the second question of this post ^^
  4. First thing jumping my mind with your ingredient mix is Perlite
  5. mhhh can you turn your grow light off and use the flash.. or bring a white light in to make the picture. I need to see the "green". And still wouldn't run in circles ^^ how many grows you did so far?
  6. Humidity is rather on the good side.. so see that spot as the plant gave up on the leaf and "what ever" made a spot Neem... what do I think of Neem.. the friendliest is waste of money. Or.. before I would use Neem, I would try to lick it off the leaves myself When ever you see something on leaves and don't know what it could be, google "cannabis leaves deficiencies" and go Images.. you are never the first having that type of problem Quick add.. no need to take a plant out of the fabric pot.. you can just smell directly. Root rot you smell rather easy and as long as you do not let your pots stand in liquid for to long, root rot shouldn't become a issue in fabric pots. Put 3 bricks below, good air flow below your pot will prevent it.
  7. Mixing your own soil is doable but for a start and the boost of success at harvest, I wouldn't try to invent the wheel again. If you have a grow shop close.. say hello and see what they recommend, get a grow soil. And is always very handy when you have a second opinion to show your issue directly. Looking at a leaf and feeling it tells you 1000 times more as a picture. So being friends with the guys from the grow shop.. never hurts If your local shop is to far.. ^^ have a quick research about fertilizer products people recommend.. and make a pick ^^ Rest.. have fun growing
  8. it is moist out there now.. at the moment there are several fungi on your plant.. the issue only comes when they over board. You get those spots in general towards the end. Just get her back to healthy growing and the rest, the plant will sort out. If you get those spots in healthy green areas.. you have to watch a bit closer.. right now.. I wouldn't run in circles and throw my arms in the air just have an eye on your other leaves, if they stay nice and green.. your feeding change did the trick. And I would remove that leaf... If not flowering or short before.. perhaps a last spray with copper soap? Prevention is always better... and while not flowering, you can unpack some artillery ^^ Root rot is very easy to detect.. lift the plant out of the pot and take a smell from closer.. you get those brown spots often when over watering. The problem with fungi is that, some like it colder, some like it hotter.. but in general, none likes it dry so as long as you have a humid environment, you create room for fungi. Having your air intake going through a HEPA filter, would help too. I think your nute change will sort the issue.. i still think is N deficiency
  9. The brown spot looks more like fungi damage.. but also doesn't look to tragic. From the pics, I would give some more N... if you think that you are low on calcium.. give some Calmag ^^ that way you add more Ca and N ^^ should solve your yellowing issue
  10. Evenly yellowing from the tips can have two causes.. over watering or N deficiency. If the leaves feel "light", N.. if they feel heavy.. to much water.
  11. I very much agree with Totemic on this one
  12. Good advice so far ^^ Lets go into the color. Red stems can have a PH, environment (transplanting shock for example) or Temp issue. But in general you wait a week to decide what to do.. as long as the plant seems to grow normal. Red isn't the worst color to have on the stems. If you are violet and your plant is also growing very slowly you can have the above mentioned issues: Mag level low, Temp (in general low temp, around 16C), incorrect PH or simply humidity totally off. Other issues which can cause stem coloring are transplant shock, light burn and over watering. If your plant grows normal and just gets color on the stems.. i would guess first on genetics doing the change, just watch those babies very carefully each day. Over all picture of the plants are more on the healthy side, so wouldn't go in panic mode yet. Try to trace back if you caused it.. otherwise.. let it grow and see, would be my advice.
  13. Putting it into your tent will make the thingy work all the time very hard (constant air flow). If you already have a AC in the room (tent gets climate from the room), I would more tackle the air you suck into the room. And see how to get that more dry in the first place, or reduce the moisture in your tent. Where does the vent from your tent go, back into the room or outside tent and room? Measure the humidity inside your tent, in the room and outside (three units). With those 3 numbers you should get an idea what is your "dry-est" air flow and change the air flow comparing to your needs. If the weather is very humid, i change the vent flow and just bring it outside the tent, not outside the room as usual, room AC doing her thing. (for longer periods you will have to bring in a CO2 generator (recommended anyhow), if you avoid the fresh air because of humidity)
  14. Yep.. very much ^^ the seed banks also started their 420 month.. so ordering seeds has some advantages right now. So go check them out if you need something ^^
  15. Hi PeeWee Hope you fine the right answers Soil.. looks good. Never used that brand, but contains what it should. Ph, good... First two weeks only water, not a lot.. keep it well moist all the time. so better to soak it and then let drip off well, then keeping it on the dry side. Nothing against some nutes from the start. You get special fertilizer for root development. Your nutes don't look to bad for the veg part.. so in your "auto life" first 3-5 weeks, depending on strain. But for flowering, you have to bring potassium and phosphorus up and Nitrogen a bit down. So look further into fertilizer Transplanting.. knowing when, is a bit the key ^^ The rule is rather simple, when you have a plant in a pot, as soon as the leaves reach the outside of the pot, is time for a new home.. with Autos, yes, helps if you put the seed directly in the final pot. Watering rule with hemp is also rather simple.. it wants dry and wet phases. So when you wet it, wet it well, but never let the run off stand in the saucer for longer as 5 hours, best, no saucer and raised above the ground. If the water can easy run off, swamping will not be your issue. Young plants like it moist.. also high air humidity helps. Never let them drop below 10C degrees or the plant will become unhappy to suicidal Due to the short life of an Autoflower, any mistake you do, will cut your yield substantially, first steps with a higher reward at the end you get with a feminized seed, just bit wrong time for that right now. But in any case.. good luck with your next grow
  16. https://hydroponic.co.za/hydroponic/plant-lighting/ If you don't care to waste some extra bugs on electricity.. go full spectrum LED.. rest, you find at hydroponics. The Mars 144 is the most energy efficient version.. but I personal only use them in Eskom emergency veg mode But also grew full plants before.. the light works well.
  17. sexy stuff! Looooooooooooooove pic No3 That is how it should look.. But.. clean your pots those old rotting leaves have nothing to do so close to your plant.. keep em clean And happy at least somebody enjoyed outdoor growing.. I did till February.. then it was more like a Nightmare on Mildew Street
  18. You can always drop a Auto.. she will do her thing.. and depending on how much light she gets, will be your harvest. So yes you could.. is it worth it.. i wouldn't. If you run a heater in winter ^^ get a 120cm x 60cm x 180cm tent, put a 144 Mars in and put 8 autos in, 30cm pots.. and forget the heater will provide some warm and proper weed The 144 will set you back around 600 Rand of electricity (depending Eskom price raises.. did we just had one?? Got around 8% units less as last month for the same price)
  19. for a first grow you can slap on your shoulders.. nice job. Autos, you can't treat like a fem.. you have to balance the plant all the time on the boarder of over feeding. But if you do as good on your first Auto as you did on your first grow, not really worried. If you want to go Outdoor Auto for next season, a very rewarding seed is the Bubblelicious Auto from Nirvana. If you feed them well, you get some monstrous buds with a fruity aroma stunning everybody in the room. Outdoor she will take a good 12 weeks.. indoor you get them easy ready in 10 on 20/4. The plant is rated medium difficulty.. don't let that scare you, grows like a weed ^^ If you prefer something else, just take into account, that the times the breeders give are for indoor and 20/4 light cycle. Outdoor you have to add 2 more weeks.. or more, if you want a late harvest. Germinate in Beginning November for 12 week seeds and End Nov to beginning December for 8 week seeds. You want to have the peak of sun duration.. but not go to much into end Feb as harvest time (seed wise). Anything you harvest before end Jan is seed free. Seeds are little power packages, so a plant making seeds.. will always have less potency to the energy loss. The better material you use, the better will be the result.. and if you can't mix stuff yourself.. will cost quite some money, but.. if you do all right, you get a lot more value out as what you put into. If you use prime material for grow medium and fertilizer, have sunny spot (the more, the better) and the quality seeds, you will get rewarded with a weed you can show off to your friends You have a green thumb
  20. Bag seed so you have really zero information, what you are growing count around 9 weeks flowering time. Then do the usual checks to determine when you want to harvest. You will need something magnifying at least x40 times. Check the colors, and decide what kind of weed you want to harvest.. energizing or relaxing.. Just to mention it again.. when you cross Bella Hadid with a local bum.. you will not get a super model again.. more like a little ugly chick.. genetics count a LOT more in MJ growing as with your usual salad.. DONT WASTE YOUR TIME WITH BAG SEEDS!!!! Hope you didn't wasted money on fertilizer on that. See it as a first grow to learn the ropes.. the smoke will be low quality.. what ever you do
