That looks exactly like how it's done! Congrats.

The two plants in the back on the left side have burned tips, some clawing, and specially the one on the left, generally fucked up/necrotic leafs. I think this is all due to light toxicity, the symptoms appear on the upper portions of the plants, and the third plant in that compartment is healthier, I think because it's the one I defoliated in the middle of the stretch, so she remained shorter and thus had more distance from the lights. I raised the lights and symptoms haven't gotten much worse, except for the necrotic leafs which I guess will keep on dying until they're dead. I'm not too worried, it doesn't seem to have affected the buds themselves, and the girls are finishing anyway so I don't think they will be too affected by this (I hope).

Keep a close watch on those dying leaves, especially the sugar leaves where they grow out of the bud. EVERY time I have had bud rot it has started where a dead sugar leaf came out of the bud. Just my bro science opinion.

 

[TheGrandmaGrows]

Really appreciate your bro science opinion. I was actually about to ask you because I checked one of your grows and saw you chopping a girl early to avoid this risk. I pooped my pants a bit. Those nugs are some of the hardest nugs I've ever grown or seen. I inspect her often and they are so hard I'm afraid I'll pull on one and it will just split in two. It has PCK in her genetics so I'm hoping she has good botrytis resistance, but one of the other girls had a bit of rot actually so maybe not a good idea to leave it to genetics. I'm keeping RH low and I'll keep an eye on her. Thanks for the heads up! Great grow you've got going there by the way!

Ah man that’s a load of BS if ever I’ve heard any haha.

“Leaves in the buds” is genetic. Also possibly not enough available PK in the organic mix resulting in lower flower to leaf ratio. The only bit of truth in your statement is that Grandma is using 4k LEDs on one side of the grow chamber. Less red light might result in the pistils taking longer to whither.. Not every genetic varietal will behave the same in regards to maturation.

@Grandma
Keep going, I’m sure the next grow will be miles better in getting to the point you’re hoping for.

Definitely not enough PK in the mix. I couldn't get my hands on any good high P guano, so the mix was definitely deficient in that sense, and also I have been feeding BioBloom at less than half the those so that also probably didn't help.



It's difficult to say which factor has contributed more to the purple plant not being mature yet, I would say a combination of 4000K+low PK+bad light burn. I don't see any reason to say it's just because it's LEDs.


Sugar leafs on the buds in the purple plant are deeead as fuck. They are all crispy and brown, I was thinking maybe cut the top buds off now (day 55) and let the rest of the plant and the other plants get to day 60-70. Any opinions on this?

 

[TheGrandmaGrows]

I'm doubtful because she's foxtailing like crazy and still has some white hairs in the tops. The trichomes look mostly cloudy, still not much amber going on.

I just 3d printed me some seeds:

Hahaha.. steady now Grandma
