Weeks 1 through 8 of flower all in a single post. Posted same day.

And harvested prematurely I might add

very little trichomes as well

From what I saw he had pictures at least of every 2 weeks. Does it matter what day he posted them or the genetics? The pictures show obvious change on the same plants so I believe that. He got the plant to harvest. Plus Mick has been here awhile and posts cogent content.

I smoke so much pot I wouldn't even try a journal LOL. So kudos to the stoners amongst us who can do that, you included.

Cannabis Seedlings Care - How To Grow Cannabis Seedlings in Coco Coir - Coco For Cannabis

In this tutorial, we walk you through everything you need to know and do to grow cannabis seedlings in coco coir: pots, light, fertilizers, watering & more

Pls scroll and see pics.. there's algae growing on the perlite and he's fertigating the seedling twice a day. Algae doesn't hurt the plants I suppose..

No algae doesn't hurt the plants but the simply fact is it's growing on the tops of the pots meaning the top of the media is staying to wet so you can imagine what the moisture level is in the root zone

Bro..I'm not feeding at 1200ppm! Ive corrected myself several times. Ive done several dwc grows over the last 6yrs and have never gone above 750ppm. Only the first time I was at 1100ppm and later only did I buy an ec meter to get things dialed in..
I've done a flush @ 400ppm ph5.8 and will continue feeding them with the same ph and ppm till I see improvements..

hi everyone..
thank you all for your previous responses. after switching over to the better batch of maxibloom, i believe my plants are responding well, however, still my lower leaves continue to get damaged everytime i water.
below ive attached pics of another plant having pretty much the same conditions as the earlier one i had posted for convenience to determine the problem. pls see and advise..
ive ruled out any deficiencies because i believe maxibloom has pretty much everything required for good growth and im feeding 500-600ppm ph5.8-6. i would not like to debate on the efficiency of maxibloom so pls lets leave that out of this..
ive got magnesium and calcium deficiencies before on the same plant (due to messing around with cal nit and epsom unnecessarily) so magnesium deficiency is ruled out on the pics as ive seen the symptoms on this plant and its corrected. it cant be nitrogen either cause the veins remain dark green. i could only think of potassium but then again the progress of the deficiency isnt the same as ive googled and seen on pics and maxibloom has enough of it. so id like to think if its a case of overwatering/ onset of root rot...how do youll think?
the tips begin to soften/grey out and then get crispy with spots. the situations begins to worsen every 2 hrs after watering. i remember growing in dwc ive faced similar symptoms on leaves when dealing with rot but would like your opinions.
my mix is 5 parts coco: 1 part perlite and im feeding twice a day. temps are between 30-32c and humidity 80% (rainy season). when i run the ac humidity drops to 60% and temps 26c. i run the ac every 2 hrs. since its only the lower leaves, i doubt my lights have anything to do with this.
being my 1st coco grow, i thought i couldn't over water. when ive flushed before with copious amounts of water, the leaves didnt droop overall. however, my lower leaves are always down (not drooping totally)
id like to know considering my conditions, how do i go about watering the plant?
currently im thinking to cut down watering twice a day to once a day and adding the following with every watering to deal with rot if any...https://www.utkarshagro.com/product/fung-free/
im afraid to dry out the medium for more than a day because of the apparent rise in ec but would like your opinions on this matter..
cheers!

Big mistake.......never give plain water to coco.
Based on the size of your plant and the pot size.........you need to feed at least twice a day.
Never plain water.
Always feed to substantial run off.
I don't own a ppm meter so your ppm reading means nothing to me.
What water are you using?
How much Maxibloom are you adding per gallon?

I think I'd like my plants to grow ice cream. They have refused.

You have too high humidity and too high temp. You can do one or the other but you will kill them with both. I'd drop the humidity but it's your choice. My plants grow in over 100 canopy with 10% humidity getting watered once a day, like right now, today.

More water to fuck up your CEC in a plant who can barely transpire. She's drowning from her stoma closing from the humidity. The drowning is in your air not your pot.

Good luck on this.

His meter is a 500 conversion so it's an EC of 1 to 1.2. Hope that helps and you can help him.

So then, considering my humidity, is it better I water less often? Allowing the medium to dry out a bit..say once a day?
