    Day 58 of flower - another week or two?

    This is a GG#4 x Citral Skunk - I have three going in total, but this pheno has been about 1-2 weeks ahead of the other two. It has developed and flowered a lot quicker. Here are a few trichome shots of mid/top level buds. What do you guys think? I am thinking another week to two should do the...

    Question about root mass in soil

    Hey RIU - hope 2021 is off to a good start for all of you. I've got 3 runs now under my belt with autoflowers and I am still missing something when it comes to size and I think my root balls might be telling me something. I recently harvested two Night Owl Spotless Mind plants that will maybe...

    Anyone that is using Dr Earth, I have a few questions.

    Decided to go all organic with this current grow. I am using Fox Farm Ocean Forrest w/ 30% perlite as a base in a 3 gallon smart pot. Not sure if the FFOF falls into that organic category, but it seems good enough for me anyway. Here is my plan for feeding: -No nutrients until week 4 top dress...

    Thinking I need about another 1-2 weeks on these, thoughts?

    Hey RIU. Got a couple Bruce Banners in week 7 of flower, and I’m starting to see about 15% clear trich heads and a few amber trichs showing on some of the sugar leaves. Im thinking (hoping) they’ll be good to go in another 1-2 weeks. What are your thoughts? I’m trying to get a feel for...

    Brown spots showing up in between leaf veins, but only on a few leaves and not on my other plant

    Hey RIU! I have a question regarding some brown spots on a few of my leaves. These spots only occur on a few leaves, and on my other plant (both Bruce Banner) it is showing no signs of these brown spots. This has slowly occurred over the past two weeks. I am not too worried about it since I've...

    Does anyone feed with every watering in soil?

    My last run, I was a bit hesitant to give a full on feeding in fear of messing something up. And as a result, I think I left a bit on the table at harvest time. That and the leaves faded out a lot quicker than typical. The plants started eating themselves around week 5 of flower. For my...

    On my 2nd run with a QB LED board, and I am still getting leafs that loose color in between their veins

    Hey RIU! I am here to ask about an issue I have had now across 2 grows. Some of the fan leaves start to lighten up between their veins, which appears to (me anyway) be an early sign of CalMag. The issue seems to effect lower growth first. I am growing under a 200w QB LED board, and I have read...

    My autoflower has been slowly yellowing from the top down for almost the past 10-12 days now

    Hey RIU! I need some opinions on this autoflower of mine. About 10-12 days ago, it started to turn a lighter green at the top, and over the past 10-12 days it has progressed to be a pale yellow and has moved down the plant. I know that top down is an immobile nutrient issue, but I am not sure...

    Flushing a plant without a flushing solution

    I need to flush a plant to clear out some salt buildup that has resulted in a slight nitrogen toxicity in one of my plants. I’ve read that you should flush with a diluted nutrient solution to help bind and remove salts. Does that sound right? I’m aware there are flushing solutions you can buy...

    Plant leaves are turning light green from the top down with purple striped stems

    For the life of me can’t figure out what is going on with this autoflower. The plant about 7 days ago was mostly fine. Over the past few days it’s been slowly turning light green/yellow from the top down. I’m running a 200w QB, and thought maybe it was too close. I bumped it up about 2 days...

    Leaves near that are closer to the top are turning a light green. Could it be the light?

    Could really use some advice here. The tops of this plant are starting to fade out to a lighter green and some of the stems have purple lines going up them. This is my first grow and I’m sorta researching and guessing at this stage of my experience and don’t wanna assume the wrong thing. This...

    Question about runoff PPM

    My runoff PPM today after watering was around 880ppm. This particular plant was fed 4 days ago @ 713ppm. It's been given Fox Farm Big Bloom, Tiger Bloom, CalMag and a little bit of Grow Big (less than 25% recommended dose) when being fed. Today I watered with just CalMag, and had a 307ppm and a...

    Am I right assuming this is light burn?

    Growing under a QB. It’s a Fast Buds GSC auto at day 37. Have a total of 3 growing and the other two aren’t this sensitive to the height. This is my only plant I have that is showing what I think is light stress. Temps are usually at 79f. Been feeding and watering at 6.4-6.6ph and never over...

    What is the best PPFD for veg and flower?

    Currently been using a meter to check the PPFD at the canopy, and I am getting between 420 - 620 PPFD at the current lights height in a 3 x 2 area. I have not been measuring height, instead the PPFD at my plants and then making adjustments on that. I have two autos in flower right now, and a...

    Container size and Topping experiment on 3 Fast Buds GSC’s

    Plants on 6/4/20 I’ve seen a lot of back-and-forth about topping autoflower strains. I couldn’t really get anything definitive for it either way, so I decided to find out on my own. It seems though that most everyone can agree LST is the way to go. I’ve done it, and my plants have responded...

    Help identifying brown spot issues

    Hey there. This autoflower is currently at week 6. I started it about two weeks ahead of my main 4 plants to use it as a test plant to try and figure out the feeding schedule and the soil itself. Figured if I ran into issues a couple weeks ahead of my others, I could maybe be more proactive...

    Yellowing new growth leaf tips

    Soil is FFOF with 30% perlite and amended with dolomite. Have not fed any nutrients other than CalMag @ 1ml per liter of water for every other watering. Always ph’d to 6.4-6.6 and about 180ppm. Hadn’t had any issues with that for 3 weeks. Currently sitting at day 23-28 with these plants. Canopy...

    Could adding a more intense light cause nitrogen toxicity from the increased photosynthesis?

    I’m almost in week 4 on a few autos. I’ve been having this clawing issue in my new growth that started to appear after this past weekend when I got a new light. I replaced a 265w (actual) COB led with a 200w QB. Fora couple days, I left the light at 28in and then Monday evening I lowered it...

    Runoff testing around .5-.7 higher ph than water going in

    Hey guys, just have a quick question. I am running FFOF amended with 1cup of dolomite to a 1.5cu ft bag. I have been noticing that my runoff ph is around .5-.7 higher than water going in. Today for example, I watered in at 6.53ph / 155ppm (no nutes) and my runoff was sitting around 6.9-7.18...

    Twisted and clawing leaves on new growth - really could use some help

    I have two plants showing these issues. Here is the album of them both. Close ups: These two plants in particular are showing leaf tip curling and twisting on the newer growth. I had a fan directly pointed at them over the weekend because my house AC died and had to wait two days for the...
