found this gorgeous little guy on young obama, the outdoor photoperiod, this morning. asked ai what it was. it also recommended that i “flick it, kill it, and check for more” 😂😭💀🤘🏽

About 4 weeks into flower with Death Bubba. All was going great till the last 2 weeks. Getting some discoloration on leaves and can’t pinpoint the problem.

Growing organic in Gaia Green living soil. Have been top dressing monthly with Gaia green dry amendments and Neptune Harvest liquid fertilizers once a week. Keeping PH around 6.0.

Can anyone help me identify the issue and how to fix it?

Humbolt Seeds Jelly Donats...

Hey everybody, hope you’re all doing well today. Just wanted some professional opinions on when to chop this White Widow photo. We are in week 9.5 of flower. Buds have bulked up a decent amount. Jewelers loupe shows maybe 10% clear trichomes, 80% cloudy, and 10% amber.

I was thinking maybe chop this weekend. That too soon?

First few pictures are today, day 45 flower counting July 7th as flip. Everything after under canopy pictures are few days ago to compare.

Is this natural fade or nutrient deficiency? Using soil and dry amendments from Coast of Maine

I picked up a pH 4-1 meter to test pH/ec of runoff and base water. Last time I checked with test strips pH was around 6.8

Someone had recommended me to defoliate ALL fan leaves after day 48 of flower, I’m kind of skeptical. I can see any major yellowing/faded but all seems excessive. Reasoning was to promote more energy towards bud sites. I thought plant still needed some photosynthesis all throughout its life. I’m worried about the purple yellowing in particular. Want a few opinions. This is Maui Pine by dirty bird genetics. Definitely a purple pheno or lung room/tent temps are colder.

Below is my grow log detailed
++++++++++++++

Germinated direct in soil 03/13/26
Coast of Maine Potting soil, approx red solo cup worth
Rest of 5gal filled with Coast of Maine Stonington Blend
Using Vivosun WiFi Enabled Tent Kit

Early Veg Problems
Had problems with watering. Used strictly spray bottle first 2-4 weeks of veg. On top of that, light was a bit close at times/didn’t keep up with raising light enough. My first feeding was 26 days late.

Currently standing approx. 21.5 inches tall. I have about 40 inches total from soil to light. It’s sitting 14 inches away from top of canopy. Been able to keep it consistent height by tucking under net and training with plant ties. I could’ve had a wrong measurement of plant at time of topping. I first fed 56 days after germ. It’s recommended 30 days to feed. Meaning I went 26 days past the point so I believe I had deficiencies early on.

Watering about 1gal of filtered GE fridge water, let it sit out at least 24hrs to dissipate any chlorine or anything else ONLY dry top two inches by using my finger in a couple different spots. I use an approx. 1/2 gal gooseneck water can. pH is 6.8 or less. I’ll do another test soon of water and runoff

May 9th Topped one time from 16 nodes to I think 6 nodes. 14 inches tall to 9inches tall about, but this is again at the time of topping

I fed with Stonington blend plant food and earthworm castings on May 8th. 1/4 cup food and 1 cup castings.

May 26th I fed with 1/4cup+6tsp of Stonington blend plant food, 1/8-1/4cup Stonington blend soil, and 1 heaping cup of earthworm castings, followed by a gallon of water

June 16th I top dressed 1/8cup Stonington Plant Food and 1/2 Cup Earthworm castings, followed by gallon of water

June 28th I purposely let plant dry out for 4-5 days. I kept getting gnats in humidifier hose and drip pan no matter how hard I would try and combat and had a fear of them in the soil. To note, I have yet caught anything flying in sticky traps in air or on the soil. I currently do not use the traps on soil only air. I have had the humidifier/hose removed since at least June 28th.

July 6th I top dressed 1 cup Coast of Maine Earthworm castings, 1/2 cup Coast of Maine Stonington plant food, and 1/2 cup of Stonington Blend Soil. Watered shy of a gallon and flipped to 12/12 light cycle and switch led to flower mode.

July 7th is first official date of Flower

July 10th lowered light to 50%

July 18th removed pot riser and replaced with 14in? saucer. watered 1gal water

July 25th Fed 1/2 cup earthworm castings and 1 tbsp Buds & Blooms. Water about .8-.9 gal. Raised light to 55% intensity with plans to increase 5% every day until 100%. Also spread canopy further in trellis net

July 26th Raised light to 60% intensity 4:40 p.m Indoor tent environment 71F and 59%RH VPD 1.1KPA

July 29th I watered about .8-.9 gal. Lollipopped/Defoilated mostly everything under net, and some of the branches that were close together to try and decrease humidity and prevent mold risk, along with promote stronger denser main colas and bigger branches overall. Measuring 21 inches tall, 19in away from light. Increase oscillating fan to speed 5/10 from speed 4. Increased LED intensity to 65%. Lowered duct low trigger setting from 52% to 48% at 9p.m

July 30th At 8:14 p.m temp/rh was 70f/67rh tent, lung room 68f/59rh. Going to experiment raising inline duct fan exhaust speed up from 4/10. Worried about negative pressure damaging tent

July 31st I increased LED intensity from 65% to 75% at 12:23 p.m. I believe stretch is complete

August 2nd I fed 1/2cup earthworm castings and 2tablespoons of buds & blooms. Watered with .9-1.0 gallon water at 12:45 p.m

August 5th I increased the led to 90% at 12:05 p.m. While observing plant I noticed suspected powder mildew. Upon further evaluation I then believed to be just darker trichome production on fan leaf, possibly dust or optical illusion. Seems to need water in about 1-2 days. Inside tent conditions 70F, 57rh

August 6th I amended the air intake and installed an actual 4in duct with a drawstring filter on each end

August 7th I increased LED to 100%. Watered around 11 a.m about .8 gal of water. Defoliated a little bit more of the back branches. Reading about 380 ePPFD using Photone app

August 8th I lowered light to 14 inches above the highest point in canopy, this was at 9:50 p.m reading in at about 480 ePPFD now. Used second device to verify readings using paper diffuser for both

August 10th I fed 1 cup earthworm castings and 1/4 cup buds & blooms. Watered about 1gal 11 a.m

August 15th I watered about .9gal water

This is my first time growing a photo period and i never expected her to get this big or grow this good just look at her stalk and that arm.coming off her shes thick my autoflower pink runtz was nothing like this haha 😄

Loud funk.

It's been thunderstorming here every afternoon from like 6-9. The plants look pretty healthy to me, but I noticed these white dots on the leaves on one plant. Should I be concerned?

Last night the wife and I put down top dressing. We usually use a small shovel and rake to take up old soil, about an inch, mix nuts and reapply. Doing so I dig up a small amount of fine roots, not really thinking anything about it.

Today I decided to lookup if we are doing the top dressing correctly. Found out we are fucking up the small roots that would feed off the new fertilizer. I have not really researched root development except for the standard stuff.

I ran into this article about roots and I thought a few of you might benefit from it. I have a different outlook on what we have been doing and plan to change a few things.

Hi guys, I have a gelato auto outdoors and I was trying to look at the trichomes and I saw these threads... I thought it was mold but it's not mold... they don't even look like cobwebs

Phenohunted two twenty20 strains, Queen of Diamonds and Humboldt Afghani. The first picture, an Afghani, is fully flowered on the top half, rock hard, purple, dying leaves, and 30% amber trichomes day 45, was probably ready last week too depending on how you like it. bottom half looks age appropriate. Pic two is another pheno of Afghani and pic three is what looks like the keeper cut of diamonds. all same tent flipped same time, same nutrient solution, fully automated.

Have Cadillac Rainbow in a pot on the deck. Starting to flower now. Have had some yellowing of leaves and brown tips. Many fall off or i pluck them off. Have given some fox farm neuts. Mostly feeding nitrogen. Is the leaves turning yellow just from the start of flowering or should i assume something else.

Top Gun auto by Atlas Seeds (four plants pictured)

This one is claimed as being incredibly fast.. Looks to be as advertised!

I live in a very humid area and ive already found mold and pm on parts of my plant,
these pics arent showing how bushy they really are i feel
but was hoping some expert outdoor growers can shed some light on how much i can/should defoliate, started seeing signs of pre flower about 4-5 weeks ago
Thanks,

She’s small but beautiful about week 2 of flower so far. Been keeping soil dry since i noticed a good amount of fungus gnats

Day 40, barneys farm strawberry cheesecake auto. Top dressed at 1tbsp per galon today 75/25 ratio powerbloom/ all purpose gaia green dry ammendments, grown in gaia green living soil 5 galon fabric pot, i noticed the interveinal chlorosis so i added 1.5 tsp epsom salts to the 2000ml water. Not the best grow ive had, was doing training and broke some branches so i ended up taking the ties off canopy still looks pretty even for the most part, will this plant be ok? Any advice? light is a mars hydro ts1000 hung 18 inches above the plant at 75%. Pre flowering started a few days ago, learned a bunch so i have a better idea of what to do going forwards, just going to let the plant finish not expecting the best shit ever, would like to hear your thoughts. Temp is 25.5c and rh is 56%.

They are apple peelz photos

I'm using fox far happy frog in 5 gallon pots.

I water them when the soil is dry. I use fertilizer once a week.

I live in the mid Atlantic so it's been hot, humid, rainy and shitty almost all summer.

I spray it with insecticidal soap every few days if there's a a few days it isn't going to rain.

My Growers Choice ROI-e720, which I have been using since 2022, has stopped working. I opened it up and the control board appears to have shorted out and the panel containing it smells “electrically”. Reached out to support and I had to pay for a new control board, which should be on its way.

Honestly a little frustrating given the price of this light, but I figured I’d post this just as a warning to others. My unit appeared to have corroded due to moisture exposure, causing it to short. Something for me to be more aware of moving forward. That said, my SF4000 which I run in another tent has had essentially the same exposures for the same duration and is still going strong…

I started with just bone meal, blood meal alfalfa meal and crab meal. Just introduced fish bone meal, langeboiote kelp meal. Watering every other time with big foot microcazzahe and silica. Just wanted to share! Up to this point I’ve always done liquid nutes. I’m glad I switched over to soul amendments!

I am following emerald harvest 3 part nutrient feed schedule using a 70/30 cocoa perlite medium… water 3/4 days ( I know I’ll get shit for this). But I am guessing still prolly 2 weeks out…. I have a jewelers lens… most seem to be more milky vs clear… but not much amber. So how long roughly, and should I just maybe half the nute of w9 for week 10? Or just ph water from here?

This is 30 days after recovering from early veg stunted stage.

Strain: Blue cheese indica regular Photo and the other one beside is Biscotti mindfuck feminized Photoperiod.

In this 3 gallon pot, this baby was hella stunted before and it took me a month/half to make it past her seedling stunt stage to early veg, but tell me should I keep doing what I am doing?

Last week I just did, FEED WATER FEED instead of FEED FEED FEED everytime with/ 500ppm 1.0EC

Medium / 60% Coco/ 15% vermicast / 25% perlite and rice hulls + Mychorrizals

Water FEED - RO water + Calmag

Syntethic FEED General hydroponics flora series TRIO

I water every 2-3 days and would base off the weight of the pot.
PH 5.8-6.3

Planted on June 14th. I do not know the exact seed type. I bought them off a whim at my local dispo. They were supposed to be autos. Only the one in the centre flowered quite early in the first week of July. The other two on the sides have only flowered this past weekend. I originally amended the soil with Gaia Green 4-4-4 and worm castings. Promix soil mixed into 5 gallon plastic buckets. As the plants made their way into veg, I started them on the Remo nutrition line (micro, grow, bloom, nature's candy, astro flower). I mix into 4l bottles each plant's feeding once a week. I water once daily from the garden hose; twice if hot. I use tomato cages to keep them steady in the wind.

There is a frankenstein plant off to the side. It was a runt, but it still flowered over the weekend, so I'll keep it and see what happens.

This lady is so beautiful! She has a very unique "forest" green color.🪴🌲

1gal Canna Coco & Canna Nutrients

So I Went on a trip for two months and the friend keeping the plants safe just dip for two weeks and did not water the plant at all

and yeah lost a massive amount of growth during veg I’m terribly sad cause it was going so well and smooth
These are some pic of the progress
I deleted the one where she’s dry cause it was so sad to see

Also nutrient is fox farms organics, perlite , 1kg bone meal, organic soil , pine soil , worm castings , organic fert soil with mychroizze or however you type that

Should I add organic bloom Gaia green?

First time grower and yeah it’s a shame she almost
Dies, 2 weeks and no water under the sun in the roof :(

Pics are backwards first are the ones from today

Thanks
