TJ's First Grow - LED - Strawberry Cough

[SwAggNiFiCeNt]

I don't think there's a set answer. Different strains need different times to get to a good size and structure. But really u could flip anytime u feel like it. For me I'm just gonna wait for a few lower stems to reach the edges of my pot and also for them to thicken up and get stronger.

And for flower it's the same thing. Different strains will have different rates of growth. Some stretch like crazy whole others don't. So I'd maybe look up some traits of ur strain. Cuz some plants will triple in size. So you always have to take the space you have into consideration.

And if they're getting too tall on u then a bend here and there. Super crop here and there and ur good. Sorry if I didn't answer ur question. I think I mostly did tho.

I was also hoping to have flipped by now but i think my topping and fimming has slowed them down some. Transplanting could also cause a bit of slow down. Temporarily but still can cause it. But I really misplayed this grow so far. But now I know that 2 months vegging is not that long. I dunno if my light is too close and making them not stretch out a bit but whatever. Live and learn. Plants are happy so that's the main thing. Oh yea and keep in mind for about a week before flip you shouldn't transplant or do anything that could shock the ladies.

Look around for grow journals on your strain and breeder and see if you can find out what the stretch would be.

I think it comes down to your patience on how long you want to veg. If you want to move on or not.

Sorry know that's not much help!

Was out of town for the weekend and came back to a very yellow plant. She grew quite a bit too, but some of the leaves have really yellowed quite a bit.

I am assuming some sort of nutrient deficiency from flushing the plant out?

 

[Scoooter]

Looks like magnesium deficiency to me with the dark veins.

When you flushed did you add some calmag to the water or just PH it?

I would give a a regular dose of nutes per your schedule and see how she reacts.

Others may have more advice.

I did have 1/3 strength Cal/Mag in there as well.

I'll give her a good drink with full strength today and see if that helps.

Thanks!

Still getting a lot of yellow in the leaves. Going to increase nitrates a little as well just in case, and back the lights off a bit while the plant recovers. Once she is back on track, I might flip to bloom and get this grow finished up so I can assess and start working on the next grow with some improvements.

Don't flip until you can get this deficiency under control. Looks like a mag problem to me as well. Do you have ppm meter and if so what are you feeding them. Plants looking good though minus that yellowing. Update with some pics.

Have u tested ur run off? Maybe a flush is in order

 

[Darkscotia]

What is your ph that your putting into the plants.

The flush is what caused this mess. Went from having burnt tips due to nutrient burn to yellowing leaves from deficiencies.

 

[TJTrouble]

What is your ph that your putting into the plants.

6.0 to 6.2

 

[TJTrouble]

Some update photos.

The yellowing has definitely slowed down. I also removed 4 or 5 leaves that were very badly affected.

Nice! Yeah looking better for sure. Happy for you .

Thanks brother.

That is what I get for leaving town for a few days... but at least she is coming around!

 

[Darkscotia]

Watch it with the water droplets on the leafs with lights on that can also leave burn marks on leafs.

 

[Darkscotia]

6.0 to 6.2

I personally have no experience in coco growing but think I've heard a few times of most guys like running between 5.8-6 for best results. But as I said I have no experience myself.

Yeah I keep my PH at 5.8-5.9 for coco. Been working for me.

I brushed them off after taking the photos. Didn't notice them at first but I usually do manage to avoid the droplets.

I'll try reducing the pH.

I have had zero time to really baby this plant and she is looking pretty upset about it. Not sure what I am going to do, but I will try and get some pics up today for opinions before I totally ruin this grow. Neglecting her is definitely not helping!
