its a good looking plant for sure but if you examine the calyx dev on the single cola u will see they are half formed yet the pistils have gone brown so no more swell will happen, you overdid the nutes and affected k uptake at the end, lost a bit o weight there but not bad tbf
Oh mighty guru bless us with your presence lol

Looks like Cal-Mag def, overwatering n temps too high at a guess
Been using plant magic magne+ every feed and temps have been spot on, its a wardrobe grow with 600hps light...

As for over watering i let plants go until i can easily pick up pot with 1 hand then i water, not very scientific i know lol but i overwatered on 1st ever grow and was advised this method

Out of interest what nutes are you using n what amounts have you/are you giving it etc?

Also what do you mean by temps n feed have been bang on? bang on what? etc

Also not seen anything mentioned about ph etc

Jorge a tool . best bet is to look up grow journals n hoe to but stay away from the ones you stated.the cannabis industry is full of bullshit
You think mainlining 1 plant is my best option for highest yield? Another thread said it was but id like you guys opinions before i roll with it to the point of no return.

Been using (per litre) biobizz grow 1ml, biobloom 3ml, topmax 1ml and magne+ 1ml....also added 0.5ml buddhas tree o-18 to last feed.

I always ph on every feed to 6.5-6.6 but will be checking pen after reading these replys.

Temp wise it hasnt gone over 78 if that helps and has been down to about 67

I think she in fact underwatered therefore the EC of the soil would've risen. She was taking the whole 'air light' thing a bit too far.

9 weeks on a 60 day plant. I think she smashed it for a first grow. Could be 450g? Idk. She going up to 2 lights on the next one, I want the whole of that back end of the room full.
nah burnt tips and full N sat the plant has stopped not quite finished finished

Best advice i can give is if ur in it for the long run test as many methods as you can n if it's only the one plant get as many cola on her as you can (uncle ben has a great thread on topping) mainline if u like n throw a net over her so u can get optimal coverage on ur area. FYI it doesn't matter how many plants u got man ur still doing something illegal I'd suggest doing a few more next time n play around with different methods. I personally i fim then near flip I lollipop the sluts n take clones.

if it's that shit soil ud gotten I'd suggest some dolomite to help ur ph n never get that soil again man lol shit was a joke. Never ever ever buy soil with em all of nutes that burst as they pls shits just silly but hey its all a learning curb.dont forget to get ur calibration solution n storage solution for the pen

good advice the mainlining tech which ive done numerous times delays the grow by 10 to 12 days so wasn't commercial, the plants look beautiful and its all nugs but u cant mainline clones and that's where the gold is imo, uncle bens top for 4 is good but disregard 50 % of what he says imo cos he recs cannabis is like growing tomatoes...I grow those fukkers too, but the top for 4 is ur quickest ways to good yields, and never leave a hybrid to grow au naturel in the tent imo
