What about the smalllest one the leaves are yellow between veins and slightly twisted after my research last night I came up with a magnesium def and acted on it since they were due for a watering with just under a 1/2 tsp/ gal of cal mag at 6.3 (my last watering was 6.7). Lmk if that diagnosis sounds correct. I know my pics are terrible and hard to see

Because these are bag seed, you can't necessarily expect uniformity between the plants even though they came from the same bud

It could be the plant in question is particularly sensitive to PH and had some lock out. You've done the right thing giving the low dose cal/mag adjusted to 6.2, hopefully this will sort the offender out.

Though we do have to consider that she just might be the throw back carrying the undesirable traits, hence why she is small. That's just a maybe though. It's harder to judge with untested stuff.

Give her a few days to adjust to the new feed and fingers crossed you'll see some good results.

You never know she might stay small but produce super dank buds. I've had this from tester seeds in the past.

Google 'the theory of infite dank' its a good read

You're doing well so far

keep it up

Thank you so much, as much as I wish these first two grows went perfect I’m thankful I had the opportunity to learn so much and this early, and even if this doesn’t turn out amazing , being able to smoke something I grew is going to be very rewarding.

I heard something on YouTube the other day that I really liked; 'if you can take a plant from seed to harvest and end up smoking your own bud, you're in the top 1% of world growers'

Now this doesn't mean anyone who does is an expert but it shows how many people try and fail and then just give up. Well done for persevering and Welcome to the best hobby you'll ever have, you will never stop learning and developing your technique.
You'll also never stop making mistakes, we all learn this over time haha

This is a great hobby. You can put as much or as little as you want into it. I know a guy happy just growing and doing no research. I personally over analyze everything.

I will never get bored with this hobby. Over ten years under my belt and I still get a jolt of excitement when I realise the lights have come on, I just love growing

I never stop reading about it too, can't get enough

Does any one have any experience with back building. I just did some reading up on it and wanted to know if any one can back it.

Ballyhoov2 · Apr 9, 2020

Also while looking over my plants, on my biggest. I noticed a lot of milk trichs and spotted the first amber trich on the bud literally just one. Does that make sense with about 3 weeks left to go?

Ballyhoov2 · Apr 9, 2020

I think it still looks like 3 weeks but what’s the time line like to go from one amber to 10-20%
A good bit of hairs have turned as well

I have no idea what it is but I'll look into it, I may know it under a different name

Unfortunately there is no exact science to cannabis maturation, I really wish I could say 'X%' of trichomes turn Amber in 'X' time but it is entirely strain dependant. Three weeks looks and feels about right though

The best single piece of advice I've ever got about growing and stick to religiously is 'when ever you think it's ready, leave it another week'

It's never seen me Wrong. I always take 'flowering times' as a guideline not a measure

Jesse_tpfi · Apr 10, 2020

That said I always note down company reccomended flowering times as it'd be silly not to haha

Ballyhoov2 · Apr 10, 2020

Yeah I wouldn’t chop anything down until the trichs tell me but was trying to get an idea of how staggered this may be lmao. But back building from what I read is snipping the top of the buds and it shapes the more uniform(round) and some say give you fatter buds. Def not trying it but was seeing if I could get info I couldn’t find online myself.

Ballyhoov2 · Apr 10, 2020

Last night I checked the runoff found my biggest had a really high ph of 7.7 so I fixed that I have them all sitting at 6.5 and the ppm ended up being around 700 other than the one I had to fix it ended up dropping to 450. She got a fairly decent flush with the issues the other two were fixed within 2 gallons. But I feel the ppms are now a little low they started around1200 which I think was high for their size. But that’s why I’m hear I don’t know mich lol. Just assuming that with their size they should be like 700-850ish lmk what you guys think

Ballyhoov2 · Apr 24, 2020

Not the best pic but I’m in mid week 8 for this plant particularly. The other plants are fading slow with some yellowing but this one has had most of the leaves start to yellow and lot of the died completely like you could crumble the leaves on the buds are also fading showing multiple deficiencies I just wanted to make sure this was a normal fade edges turning yellow and brown some leaves curled down some with tips up. I’m lost with this plant

Ballyhoov2 · Apr 25, 2020

New phone and better pictures for you guys
2 are mid week 8 the biggest one and the one with close ups is in day one of week 9

All looking great mate, well done. You've really turned these plants around. have you started flushing yet? These are very near ready to be introduced to some scissors

After Looking at the plants the biggest one was actually done I saw about 5-10% amber test milky so I cut that one down. I think one has a week or so left and the other who knows at least 2 maybe 3.

Jesse_tpfi · Apr 25, 2020

Ballyhoov2 · Apr 25, 2020

def citrus orange smell but with the carbon filter plus the other plants it’s hard to tell plus I’m pretty bad with being accurately descriptive lol before o became obsessed with growing weed was weed as long as it wasn’t trash o didn’t care lol it’ll prob be easier after the cure as well. But this is so exciting, you all are awesome.
