Hello All!

I'm new to this forum, and I have a grow in it's 7th week already, so the pics I'm posting will be from the lady's current state.

Set-Up
  1. 180W Apollo Horticulture LED Grow Light
  2. AutoFlowering Candy Cane seeds from CKS
  3. Single Plant Grow Tent (18 " x 18" x 54")
  4. General Hydroponics Nutrient trio
  5. Cal/Mag

I've been using a 20/4 light cycle since I planted the seed, and didn't start feeding nutrients till around week 3-4. Since then, I've been watering nutrient feed and alternating with cal/mag every other feeding as to avoid nutrient burn. CKS advertises this strain as a 7 week flowering strain, but upon doing more research and comparing other grows, I'm aiming for harvest around week 10-11.

Here are some pics of her! I counted around 45-50 budding locations throughout. Let me know what you guys think! :weed:

I'm getting concerned about the yellowing of some of the leaves on the very bottom of the plant. They never see light and do not contain any budding locations, but I'm worried that this is a sign of a toxicity. Thinking about doing a 6.5 pH flush the next time it needs water to balance out any pH imbalances.

I did a flush last night with a little over 1.5 gallons of pH'd water. Got the run-off pH back to 6, if not a little bit under that.

As for the yellow leaves underneath, they popped right off with the slightest tug, so I did a little trimming and removed the yellowing leaves from underneath as they were just dead.

I plan on posting update pictures as week 8 arrives this Friday, so stay tuned if anyone out there is watching!

Week 9 (Day 64)

Here's day 64, right after watering. The main part is starting to thicken up and have trichomes develop which is fantastic to see. A lot has changed in the past two weeks comparing to prior photos posted. I'm hoping these last two weeks prove to be very beneficial so I can have a decent harvest for my first time.
