Right so…. Nearly at the end of my first grow and it’s been emotional. I posted here a couple of weeks back kinda thinking I might have about 4 weeks to go. Well, I’ve got lots of fan leaves dying now and the buds over the last couple of days haven’t seemed to have fattened. One of my plants...

If you read my original post, I didn’t say I wanted to flush at the end, I said that seems to be common practice and I thought that’s just what you did, but I have since discovered that it’s likely BS. I’m growing in coco and have monitored the salt build up quite carefully and was definitely...

Oh okay, thanks. I’m not touching the buds or anything, I mean the microscope does I suppose, but I try to be very cautious when handling my plants for any reason. I will give them plenty of feed up until harvest to hopefully give them what they need.

Even more alarmingly (perhaps?) I’m going by a nutrient schedule from the nutrient manufacturers. (which I think is supposed to be for photoperiods? Not that they say it’s even for weed) But if you reckon four weeks left seems right, then it’s not been a bad thing to follow. Yeah I know that...

Okay so…. First lot of autos are coming to an end soon and I’m reasonably happy with how it’s gone. Not sure I’m going to get as impressive a yield as I’d hoped for but the buds look okay. They look fairly dense, I hope they are anyway. So a few things… I have a feed schedule which I’ve been...

Yeah I get it. It’s hard to say for sure, if they end up like yours though, I’ll be happy. So I’m growing in Coco in 5 gallon fabric pots and I hadn’t been watering enough (volume wise each time) to get any run off as my plants aren’t really big enough and the pots are quite big. I’ve taken...

Oh okay cool. Thankyou. I did suspect it was a little early but I’m literally only taking a couple off each plant (if that) out of necessity. I had been doing a bit of tucking/training mainly but I’ve only taken ones that are touching the coco (and look a bit unhealthy), really blocking light...

Thanks. I’m trying not to be the guy constantly worrying about them, but it’s easier said than done. Hah! Thanks for the heads up. I’ve been checking them and they look okay so far, they strictly have lady bits. I will keep an eye out though and try not to stress them in the meantime. Cheers!

I posted an initial post about my first auto grow on here and got some useful feedback. I’ve implemented what I think are good practices so far but I’m just posting some photos to get feedback. My auto are about 6-7 weeks old now and have started to flower. I’m carefully introducing bloom...

Update. Well, I’ve taken onboard the advice given here and I’m determined to be patient not love my plants to death. However, they are autos and I want to minimise mistakes so I don’t get stunned plants. So I’m still worrying about them. Haha So one of my seedlings has very shrivelled, first...

I get what you’re saying. I mean each time I opened the tent I’m effectively replenishing the air, but with it flowing now it feels like a much healthier environment for them, and the heat is dissipating better, air doesn’t feel as stagnant in the room feeding the tent. They got a bit bigger...

Yeah will do. It’s been unseasonably hot here too so I think this will help cooling things down as well.

Guys! I fucked up. But I guess that’s what this forum is for and I’m going to tell you (feel a bit stupid) that my airflow has actually been quite poor. I thought the back vent was open on my grow tent (or at least allowing for enough air coming in) but it isn’t. The flap is down and it’s kinda...

These are them.

Oh okay interesting. I will try to work on that basis, thanks for that. I might try transplanting from a smaller pot on future grows, seems like a more sensible approach to avoid over watering and such.

Hey thanks. This makes complete sense in a nutshell ‘you’ve got to be patient and nurse them slowly etc… Of all the stuff I’ve read I think this is what noobs need, a bit of reassurance. rather than, ‘don’t use coco for your first grow, or don’t do autos’ it’s a bit late now! Haha I’m more...

Hey, yeah I’m aware the medium has no nutrients, sorry neglected to mention that along with the root stuff I did put a small amount of coco specific nutes (slightly less than manufacturers recommendation) in my last feed/watering. however as we’ve established I’ve probably put a bit too much in...

Thanks. Yeah currently letting them dry out. We’ll see how they go.

First time grower. Germinated 3 Gorilla glue auto seeds, planted in 5 gallon, fabric pots (yeah I put them in their final pots, I know opinion is mixed about doing that as a noob) with coco about 10% perlite 5% vermiculite and some mycorrhizae mixed in (as per packet) around the site I...
