they're looking fine, what temps do you have running in there...

i'm not sure what the light yellowing is on the left...keep an eye on it and post us a pic in a day or two. :)
looking good for day 30, your medium is coco + perlite and you're using GG nutes, correct?

Dunno what it was. Killed the lower leafs. 3 of em. N is gone now. After the flush.

Temps are between 84-89 light on and 73-78 light off.

Ya correct. Medium is coco n perlite and GG nutes.

also, i think you can grow a lot more plants in there and get a lot more bud out of the same area if you use a bunch of 2 litre pots and grow them out under 18/6 from seed for autos or veg/flower for photoperiod plants. your bud per plant will go down but SOG is the way to go for small areas : ) or a scrog certainly is an option as well. i prefer sog because of the comparitively short vegetative time required

I have a scrog net built and ready. Once autos r dn. ill be doing 12/12 from clone with 4-6 plants in there.
I am not germinating them cos I am not sure if ill be here for summer.

Hey!The autos look really good!! when did you start feeding them nutes? my first auto is at day 12 and i was thinking of giving the macro nute npk 10-10-10 from GG tomorrow at half dose.

i started at week one with 1/8th dose of GG grow nute. Right now giving full,dose every 3 days. Will shift to flower nutes once vertical grow stops.

i forgot to add - baygon/hit spray cans will kill just about everything - these are banned in the USA so u wont see them discussed here on the website - but its the same thing as pyrethrum fogger.

If shit really hits the roof - ROGOR. funnily , American mites are now used to the Rogor band of chemicals so again - not discussed here . but i have used it , and its systemic - so had super results .

anyways ur plants look good Dude.

N is gone now meaning? you flushed all the nutes after the problem and tested the medium for nitrogen o wat?
or did you mean the problem is gone now?

nonetheless yellowing once your plant is halfway into flowering is normal...don't up the nutes and just things be unless you see yellowing all over the plant at any point in time apart from the last 2 weeks of flowering...this is basically (as far as your autos are concerned) the time when pistil production finally slows down/stops and THC production rate finally stops increasing and tapers off. this could happen in the last 3 weeks for some strains and the last 1 week for other strains.

how tall are your plants? what light cycle are they on now?

12/12 scrog from clone is very dependent on the strain. it'd work very different for heavily sativa based strains and strains like your white widow. i'd advise scrogging only once you've completed one grow of the same pheno of the strain that you're growing so you have an idea of how it responds to topping, lst, how much it stretches, etc.

forgive me for emphasizing, but i feel that in a situation where you don't know exactly how the strain grows, a SOG setup would be better, even if your sea of green isn't a sea and is more of a pond : ) with 2 plants per square foot, growing single cola plants, you can get some nice yields in that kind of a space. : ) More importantly, the number of plants you're growing is irrelevant in a country like india and as beginning growers, it not only allows us to test different things on different plants while maintaining a control, but also if you mess up with one plant or a feeding schedule, you have more than one or two large plants to rely on. in the case of something like spidermites, you'd be a lot better off if you had a SOG than a SCROG. my .02

sorry I meant the yellowing problem is gone.

well I think the plants have to go more. About 4 more weeks. They are 18-20 inches tall. M gonna start 50/50 bloom grow nutes tomorrow. For light cycle. They are autos so been on 18/6 since they were seeds.

The bud sites have increased now from wheni posted these. Each site has like 50-70 pistils. But still proper cola formation has not started.

Thanks for your inputs about scrog. It was helpful. Mayb ill go with a sog with 6-8 plants there and see how it goes. For now m hoping ill have something home grown in time for 4/20. :joint:

my autos are weird man, one has strarted budding already and its still so tiny, i think starting them in smaller pots and then transplanting didn't work so great.... did you start yours in the final pots?

also, the pistils on my indoor WW have started to turn brown, gotta find a way to have a close look at the trichs, hmmmmmmmm

can someone tell me how long do the buds keep growing before they stop the growth and just ripen up?

i started mine in coco starter plugs and planted in final 11 inch pots at one week. And flowering time depends on strain, but you should harvest at 30% amber i think.

Well, they are about 5 weeks old now, somango is not growing vertically much anymore while nlxjack is. Somango has a lot of pistils everywhere and nlxjack is catching up.
Both have started yellowing bottom up, all the big fan leaves at bottom are slowly ding, maybe a part of their life cycle as it doesn't seem to be affecting anything.

Here are some pictures :

That looks awesome! Seems right on for week 5 as far as ive seen on most other grows. They're gonna fill up beautifully over the next few weeks. I think your gonna get some cured bud before 4/20 =D.I wish Good luck to your plants, keep posting !

hmm i don't think you'll have 'cured' bud before 4/20 very possible that you'll have dried bud to boom...

it always helps to transplant autos before 2 weeks into their final pot size...ruderalis genetics are such that when the roots feel like they have hit their spacial limits root growth drastically slows down...

i did move them before two weeks, but i think they dont do too well with the transplant shock

also i am growing them outdoors as opposed to indoor

will pop in another seed over the weekend, this time only cocopeat and advance nutes, and aleast 2 weeks veg inside

lets see how they go
