Hello, As a frequent cannabis smoker, I got tired of the (too)high prices for some decent stuff. So I decided to grow my own magic My setup: -Secret Jardin Ds60 growtent (60cmx60cmx150cm) -4x 23w CFL lightbulbs -250w dualspectrum HID with reflector -185m³ exhaust fan -Timer (20/4) -11l pot with universal soil So I'm now growing 1 northern light plant in a shed in my jard. This is because I'm not allowed to grow inside the house. At this moment I am at day 65 from seed, but I feel that I still have to wait some time before she's finished. Which is a long time for an autoflower, the breeder says 8-10 weeks. I hope that you could me some advice to help me survive my first grow. I'll make a small timeline to give you an idea of the growth of the plant. _____________ -First 4weeks under 4x CFL lightbulbs each 23w- She was growing good, I had some problems with algea tho. But that was fixed after I put the brown clayballs on top of the soil. The original plan was to put her after 2 weeks in the growtent under the 250w bulb, But the bulb was damaged on the way here, So I had to return it. It took 2 weeks before I got it. ___________ When she could finally enjoy the sweet light and heat from the HID, she really grew a lot, and fast ! This is her after a month: I didn't use any nutes during veg period. She started to show some yellowish spots at the edge of some leaves, and some had small holes in it. At this moment I still have no idea what the cause of this could be, I think some ph problems. I didn't used PH-balanced water at that time. _________________ I noticed some yellow leaves at the bottom, so I looked it up and she was rootbound. The roots also came out of the pot at the bottom. I had to put her in a bigger pot, so I used this bag I found and made some holes in it. After 8/9 weeks of growing, this is the result: This is her 2 days later: (Sorry for the many pictures, just so beautiful) At this moment I'm using Biobloom from Biobizz for flowering, 2ml/Liter. I also ordered some PH-minus and a carbon filter. The last pictures where taken today, so this is where I'm at Some questions: -Is it a bad thing that she flowered that late, will it affect the buds? -Do you think I will have a nice yield? -Do you have any idea how much I could yield? -Will she grow any taller? So, any tips are welcome ! I hope you enjoy reading, I will Take some pictures every 2days. ps: Sorry for my (probably bad) english, I'm from Belgium and I would be lying if I'd say I am sober writing this. cheers
2 days later: I noticed some bottom leaves that started to turn yellow, should I cut them off ? There are also a lot of fanleaves that are blocking light from the buds, I tuck them in under the leaves below the buds. Is this the best way, or should I cut them off ? I just don't think she will recover from the stress in time during flowering. I also took some pictures of my grow setup.
Update: I have put a bigger fan in the growtent to strengthen the bud stems a bit. I think I see the first signs of thc forming on the buds, you can see it a bit on the pistils and the buds. Is it normal that the most upper small leaves are turning yellow ? as you can see on the pictures. I'm also worried about the bottom leaves turning yellow, some below the bush are dying because they don't get light I think. one love!
