First Grow, Downward Curling Leaves

[Prosper]

This has inadvertently become somewhat of a grow log. But here is the progress. When should I cut those deadish leaves?

 

[Kismet]

You can go ahead and cut them anytime. How they coming along now?

 

[Prosper]

Hey @Kismet ! It seems like I overcame the deficiency although (it is minor in other places on the plant). Still unsure if it was a calcium deficiency or phosphorus deficiency. Take a look at her now.

 

[Prosper]

I trimmed off the severely affected leaves. Upgraded the Air Pump , started using Great White , upped the nutes and closely monitoring the PH daily.

 

[Kismet]

They look way happier Prosper. Way to turn them around. Just try and keep them on the lighter side of feed til they take off.

 

[Kismet]

Start a journal for your new babies.

 

[Prosper]

this is my unofficial journal next grow i'll do it in much more detail. But currently i'm filling up about 18 Litres of a 21L bucket , 20ml micro/gro/bloom and 5ml of calmag. Thats my current feeding as well as PH adjusting to 5.5

 

[Kismet]

Aww trust me . I use my journal just to remind myself wtf is going on. It's a tool. With a peanut gallery in tow.

 

[Kismet]

Not a hydro person but they are here.

 

[Kismet]

They can help you . More than ol' Kismet toking away to freedom.

One really cool tool I've been using is timelapse videos to detect problems that sometimes u can't generally tell with random checks on your plant.

Hey all ,
Here's some new pics of my plant.
I did some defoliation recently and now I'm thinking that was a mistake as it's an auto and hasn't shown much vertical growth.
What's your thoughts fam?

Looks great . I have defoled on autos even topped them. But if they are slow out of the gate i generally leave them alone. Other than a bit around the bottom. Trick with them is getting them rolling from the start so they have a decent amount of vegetation before they begin to flower.
