Back For Another Grow

[Azimuth]

not sure I've seen the main stalk an branches this red before, I've had stems on leaves like that. could it be genitcs? or maybe a deficiency? the plant looks healthy and seem to be growing fine

Could be either but, given how healthy it looks I'm with @Grand Daddy Black in that it's probably genetic.

But, cool temps negatively affect the plants ability to uptake P which can also bring out the purples and reds. Some growers do that intentionally for the pretty colors but, since it's brought about by deficiencies, I've never seen the point of deliberately inducing problems in a grow that could negatively affect yields.

You've had some cooler temps recently so it will be interesting to see if it greens up as temperatures increase.

Welp, looks like I won't get another sunny day for the rest of the week. The girls look good tho

 

[Canachris]

Welp, it's a down pour with 50 MPH winds. luckily my girls are warm an comfy inside watered an fed (well in the process of) the bushy one looks a little yellow ish, cut off the really crappy looking ones

 

[Canachris]

Sifting thru my sugar leaves. surprisingly good, but it's a process. what else do I have to anyhoo

 

[Azimuth]

The plant will mine those leaves for inputs it needs so if those less than perfect leaves are because of a deficiency you haven't resolved then it will just take what it needs from the next layer up. Just keep watch.

another crappy day. the girls look ok,. if I could muster up the ambition to spread the branches an tie a few down it would open em up so light could get in the middle of em. if the sun comes out maybe I'll give it a shot I can see much better if I roll them into the sun

 

[KeithLemon]

Your plants look really good.

 

[Azimuth]

Your plants look really good.

^^^^^ Ditto.

 

[Grand Daddy Black]

I wholeheartedly agree with Keith and Azi!

Welp, the sun came out this morning... but I had a 9 am Dr appointment. by the time I got home the sun had moved to the other side of the house. they look a lil bigger every day an there gettin smelly and sticky

 

[Canachris]

The bushy one has very weird smell, kinda like sweaty feet. the other has a nice sweet smell. after being out of the apt for a few hrs as I opened the door to the house the smell of the plants was very noticeable. if it would warm up I could open windows and run a fan to lower the smell in the hallway to my apartment.

 

[Canachris]

looks like I may get a sunny morning. it'll be nice to get a good look at the girls

 

[Canachris]

been messin around with the settings on the camera an it's a lil better. I think, but my eyes are bad so who knows

 

[Grand Daddy Black]

No need to fiddle with your camera Canachris, your pics look fine.

You have very photo-friendly plants. Just point and click!

Plants are looking lush @Canachris

Photos are good too but I can see some white out on the highlights and background
Reduce the aperture by 1-2 stops, it looks like you're using f5.6 so f8 would fix that
Then use a flash set to 1/3 power to compensate and highlight the foreground, ie the plant
Lastly, avoid shooting at 90° to the back wall, as it directly reflects back at the camera; move a little higher so you are shooting from slightly above - that will minimise the amount of background light and improve metering overall
Gives you a better depth of field to play with too depending where you want to focus - side-on will always give you a 'flat' picture

 

[Canachris]

Welp I finally got a beautiful day, an I think I may have improved my pics a lil bit

 

[Canachris]

close-up pics, I can see they get bigger every day

 

[Canachris]

considering the horrible conditions they had to put up with I'm feeling good of how good they look. hope they can keep it up for another 3-5 weeks.

Those do not look like they were in a harsh conditions actually, they look quite healthy! Was it a clone or did you grew from a seed?

I was looking back thru this journal and 12/12 was 4-1/2 weeks ago... with my short-term memory issues this journal is a life saver. I couldn't afford a 2024 calendar so without this I'd have no idea where I was at. love me some 420 magazine
