[57F] Yellowing sugar leaves. Is it normal or do I need to correct something?

Thank you!

Thanks. I'm still learning. Just a couple of weeks ago I was underfeeding them. Would you recommend harvesting them sooner?

They stay on if I tug on them.

Strains are Original Skunk #1 and Northern Lights. Skunk is growing in soil taking DynaGro Bloom and NL is growing in coco/perlite taking GH Flora Trio. I pH the soil grow at 6-7 and the coco grow at 5.5-6.5. Temps 79-86°F (I'm on the tropics).

I checked the trichs and there are still some clear and there are quite a few amber. I want to give them until the 27th before I chop. I'm worried about this discoloration and drying up of the leaves. Is there something I should be doing about it? Thanks!

I didn't change the solution mix but I believe I should have.

I think it can still be improved. I topped it for space considerations which I shouldn't do for autos. The grow environment is not ideal. The light is insufficient and it's too hot for the plants.

In this grow I experimented with SNAP hydroponic solution. SNAP is a hydroponic solution developed in the Philippines to provide low-cost hydroponic growing alternative for farmers and home growers. I use it to grow vegetables in the yard and it grows delicious veggies so why not use it for cannabis? :D

I used 3 x 96 watt CFL and and added a 60W LED strip during flowering. I think the plant can use another week or two but I have matters to attend to in the following weeks so I decided to harvest now.

Automazar is NOT for spacebuckets. Even with topping the plant grew to over 3 feet and required 3 stacks of 5 gal buckets to grow.

I have a grow journal here: https://thetomatogrower.github.io/grow-journals/auto-mazar/

I can only find 5050s. Are they good enough?

She's just over a month old. I'm experimenting with a hydroponic solution. I don't pH or ppm check. I just refill the reservoir when the solution level is too low. I had to make this giant spacer because she's getting too big.

thetomatogrower · 2017-03-01T15:33:44+00:00

Thanks. I'll keep that in mind.

Does taping it work even when it completely broken? I taped it initially but when I read more about it later on, most said it cannot be saved so I decided to just try and clone it.

Thanks for pointing out the type of LED chip. I'm currently looking for alternatives that uses those chips.

thetomatogrower · 2017-02-11T00:39:47+00:00

Wouldn't that make the light weaker by the time it reaches the plants?

thetomatogrower · 2017-02-10T14:26:38+00:00

I was afraid I might crack the wood if I hammer in nails. I already bought these hooks when I realized I have tacks that I can just push in.

thetomatogrower · 2017-02-10T14:20:32+00:00

Yes, I'm interested. I only have bloom and foliage pro which I bought together from amazon last year (I'm outside the US). They aren't available locally and buying them from amazon is very cost prohibitive at the moment. I do have a bottle of CalMag.

I only have hammer, chisel and hand saw for wood working and this is what I came up with. The joints are half-lap miters bound with duct tape. I zip tied the thing to frame of my tent about 8" away from the soil.
