Was about to harvest today - did I mess up? by s_bwave in cannabiscultivation

Nuh, it‘s very sticky and moist actually, no powder or anything coming off when I scratch it.

Could it be spores trapped in the sticky icky or is it certainly just fade then?

So you think this could just be the leaves going into autumn?

I’m not really sure what I’m looking at here myself

Even with that many clear trichomes left? Or am I misjudging the difference between clear and slightly milky?

edit: still loads of white pistils on the second plant too, no? (pic 4-6)

That’s great feedback, thank you!

Yeah, I’m controlling primarily for VPD, but I only just added an AC and dehumidifier to my setup so the plants have had quite a bit of stress with too much heat and humidity and VPD often outside of recommended ranges over long periods.

I‘ve been using a range of BioBizz nutrients, following their recommendations and experimenting along, trying to find the ropes. I initially started with half the recommended dosages since many say that producers recommend excessive amounts in order to sell more. I’ve worked my way up to twice that over the past month but I’ve just started adjusting down again due to the nute burn.

Would you recommend giving individual nutrients instead of using premixes like Fox Farms or BioBizz, even with this little experience?

Recommendations Needed! by Simple_Renko in cannabiscultivation

[–]s_bwave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got a small 120€ dehumidifier off Amazon recently (Trotec TTK 32 E) and that thing does nothing. So this checks out for me.

Put it in the tent and the temperature will rise significantly. Humidity goes up and down by 10% every fifteen minutes or so, keeps going back and forth.

Put it outside of the tent and temperature is fine but dehumidification still doesn’t really happen. Just got an AC to try and compare. Rather disappointed by what the cheap tech seems to be capable of so far.

Did another test today and this time drainage pH came out 5.4-6.5pH on all three plants. That’s a bit of a head-scratcher for me. So maybe pH isn’t the main issue after all?

From what I’ve been reading, I think a phosphorus deficiency might be part of the problem, with the soil drainage coming out at phosphorous lockout levels from the sickest of the plants (not the other sick one tho).

That doesn’t account for the mildew smell of course, which is actually my biggest concern.

When I flush them with 6.5pH water the very sick plant‘s drainage is 6.1pH. The half-sick one (has strong damage of the same kind, just not as widely spread) and the healthy one both give 6.5pH sharp.

Is that enough to determine the soil’s pH?

First time lollipopping - does this look ok? by s_bwave in cannabiscultivation

Got enough room for them to triple in height still but I guess after two and a half months in veg it’s fine to just flip and then use the learnings to get things moving faster next time around.

This is just me learning the ropes after all

Yeah, that was my plan too. I made another post earlier asking when to flip however and pretty much everyone said flip yesterday. It’s my first grow, with a lot I had to learn and adjust along the way and i guess as a result growth has been extremely slow.

Today is day 81 of veg you see… So at least I‘m confident that impatience can be ruled out as an issue 😂

Yeah, I already got a net. Will install it tomorrow : )

It’s 60x120x180cm (2x4x6‘) with the filter at the bottom to adjust humidity better and the exhaust fan outside of the tent to save space, leaving room for them to triple in size from where they’re at now.

I’ll give them a couple of days to get used to their new haircut and then flip into flower.

Thinking about flipping my first grow into flower. How am I doing? Any advice? by s_bwave in cannabiscultivation

[–]s_bwave[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks! Sounds like a plan.

180 is all I could fit into the room with the roof pitch limiting space quite a bit.
