Super Lemon Haze: First Journal

[Vadura]

Strain: Super Lemon Haze

Tent Dimensions: 100/100/200cm (3x3x6ft)

Soil: Canna Terra Professional (peat, perlite, dolomitic lime, mineral NPK fertilizer)

Lights: 300wLED full spectrum

Exhaust Fan 100w + Carbon Filter

Nutrients: Advanced Nutrients Micro/Grow/Bloom

Humidifier + a small blower to help air circulation

Hello guys! As the title says, this is my first grow journal. I will update this thread every week to show you the progress made.

I germinated the seeds for 2days and I planted them on 28 may. While they were in small pots I kept them at 35inch from the lamp. I managed to maintain 73-80F and 70-80Rh.

After two weeks I transplanted them in the big pots. At this stage I lowered the lamp at 29inch and I maintained 73-80F and 55-65RH. I water/feed them every 3-4days at this moment . I hope they grow bigger in a fast time because I would like to start the run off-dry watering cycle with them, to get rid of the overwatering problem.

After few days since changing the pots:

And this is how they look after 3 weeks:

They look healthy and happy. Great start.

Hello guys! These are the photos for this week. These little plants are looking quite happy for the moment. Hope all the things will be good for them up to the harvest.
Because I hadn't have enough soil when I transplanted them to the bigger pots...now I have to took out the plants and I have to add some new soil at the bottom of the pot for the roots to have more space to grow. That's all for now...hope you like how they look. If you have any advices for me, feel free to write them down. I'm looking forward to learn new things about growing these girls. Have a great day!

Day 50


Hello dear comunity! Up this moment all the things worked good I think. These girls seems to have a good time but I have some concers and I hope that you can help me with them.

How long should I keep the 18h/6h light-dark circle? I think that in aprox a week or maybe 10 more days I can put them in the flowering circle (12h light - 12h dark)...am I wrong?

And as you see in the last photo...one plant have a little problem with 2 leafs from the lower part of the plant...should I be worry? What nutrient dificiency do you think that is? Should I change something or I can ignore this ,,little message" from the plant?

Day 61 (3 days after I swich to 12-12h)

I have some problems with some leafs from the bottom of the plants as you can see in the last photos. @Emilya could you please take a look and tell me what should I change? They drink all the water (from run off until ,,sahara" dry) in 3 days. Do you think that is a nutrient problem or maybe because it's a little bit crowded in tent, those buttom leafs have some light problems?
Ps: after 3 days from the swich (12/12h) I don't see any buds to form...is it normal? When should I see the first changes in this way?

I see a little magnesium deficiency that could be treated with some calmag, and I see some lower leaves being cast off because they are not able to get much light under everything else. It would not hurt to just clean up that bottom third of the plant and get all of that out of there.

Thanks a lot Emilya...you saved me again. I'll chop those bottom leafs next time when I water them. Thanks again!

After a week you might see some preflowers, but it usually takes a couple of weeks to fully flip

@Emilya again...I need your help. I think that it's verry possible that my plants will grow too tall for my tent. What can I do to at this stage to solve this problem? Is it ok to chop the top of the plants?

ps: tent hight is 6,5ft/ plants are aprox 60inch height/ the distance between the top of the plant and the lamp 18inch...I think in a very short time I will no longer have the necessary height for them.

pps: here is a photo to see exactly how things are in there:

Read this article, one of my favorites by @InTheShed. Supercropping will be the answer to your problem, without having to chop any of the plants.

You’ll be fine. The first 2 weeks of 12/12 is when they grow in height the most. Because you are running led the plants can get as close as 15cm from the light no problem.Don’t chop the tops off you will mess with your yield. You can only top in veg. If they do get too close to the light you can super crop them

Day 63

Hello people! I just made the supercropping thing. My heart broke when I crushed the stem and bent it..but I hope that nobody will die and in the end all the things will be good for them. Here are some photos after this "operation". What do you think...does it look ok?
