I olny removed 100% males, I'm left with one 100% female in big pot, and 2 unknown plants, one of them look male, and the second one is hard to decide, so i just wait. They suffer a little bit in these pots, the female in the big pot with Ocean Forest looks better and i hope to see her grow healthy :)

@barth i won't make any seeds for the next grow. few weeks after the harvest i'm getting back to Poland, and I'll get some decent seeds there and start a new grow.

Day 36, 7 day of flowering

Ok so this is a major update, little sad, but it's just bad luck

I'm left with only one, but really nice looking female, growing all good :D



If I'm lucky i'll have some bud to smoke in 2 months

What do you guys think this looks like ?



Oldest 2 leaves (not counting the ones i cut off before)

you should be feeding every other watering in those small pots. What is your feeding schedule?

thats a big pot already, 12 l. i feed every other watering with 1/4 doses of orchid plus (20-14-13) and biothrive bloom 2-4-4, also mg foliar feed. may be too little of nitrogen ?

Hey Bobo
Way to make it happen. I am not sure about your nutrients. but,
In one of your first pictures, with the power strip and timer, there is light getting out. That usually means light is leaking in when the light is off. I think this will mess up the flowering. Maybe something like a piece of shoe box, that blocks the light but lets the fan still blow under or around it.
Peace J

avatopaz, i made some light blockers from cardboard before flowering, and when light is off, it's completely dark inside

thanks anyway

i ordered a nice horticultural (by Jorge Cervantes) book few days ago, really like it :)

diagnosed my problem as mg def. veins aren't much more green, but all the other symptoms fit, green new leaves, slowed growth, yellowing with dark necrotic spots, and dying from the tips, progressing upward, i foliar fed 2% epsom salt /water, and i'll add it to water for waterings

makes sense (i think) because plant was for a long time in a small container, that i flushed before transplanting, so i got rid of a lots of stuff, and by the time of transplanting to new pot, roots didn't penetrate the new soil, so they cant find any mg, and the rootbound is hungry

i just hope to see some improvments, i almost lost all my fan leaves, and couldnt diagnose my problem ;p

edit 05/20

plant responded really well to foliar feed with epsom salt, looks like the growth is vigorous again ;) will post some pics later on

Day 45, 16 day of flowering

I just realized how much bigger my plant would be if i prevented nitrogen deficiency few weeks ago, 2 overwaterings, and mg deficiency :) guess thats just the first timers problem, next grow I'll know when to start feeding, how often to water, when to supplement mg, and how the symptoms really look like on a life plant.







starting to flower slowly

I'm bending the main stem as the top 2 shoots grow to keep canopy even i like how look of the plant changed in a week from a christmas-tree shaped to a bonsai tree

Overall and some close-ups. Looking at her gets me high already, I'm patiently waiting and looking how the buds are forming :))
