Auto White Widow and Autopilot XXL

Update time

I had very bad 3 days. My HPS bulb stopped working and when i touch to reflector to check what's going on and oops there was electric leakage. so had to order new bulb and plants had poor light for 2 days long. i used old MH bulb. No halogen left inside it. Empty bulb But better than nothing. Luckily new bulb arrived fast.

Thats Autopilot XXL. Today day 40.



Her white pistils



And Vincenzio still growing. But sadly, started preflower at day 28 Today day 30.




2nd W.W. is a runt Day 30 and flowering.



3rd W.W. not good not terrible. Day 23 and LST'd.



So at least i have two good and two not bad plants

Looking darn good. If this ain't a Cinderella story, I don't know what is. I'm in the opposite end of the spectrum lol. Gone from decent plants in Coco to a fail first time round with straight dry organics.

Learnt my lesson. Keep a top dress schedule. Once you see the yellowing it's over. Buds still stacking but I reckon the leaves will be non existent by the time it's done. I'm only at end of week 5 flower and it's looking grim.

Condolences on the bulb. Hope it all sorts itself out. I got a nasty kick across the room once when another light that had a leak touched my mars shroud and shorted. I touched the mars to move it over a bit and got a nice kick to the chest. 240v can deliver quite the kick.

Feast your eyes on my fail.

Hoping it holds out another four or so weeks. It's been 95-100% humidity here as well. Even with the Dehuey on full it barely gets under 85% in the tent. It's struggling to breath as well as starving.

I was thinking like they are just plants. They just need water and light to grow. But i see that it's not that much easy. They need really good care to give good product. pH, watering shcedule, feeding, light distance, envrioment, humidity, deficiencies.... it's never ends and everyday you can learn something new.

When you learn something new, you make anohter mistake and it's really never ends. But i believe in the end we will get there. Sad for your plant. But you won't do that mistake again for sure.

But good news, next grow will be better than this. I think that's how things works with growing cannabis.

I'm honestly tempted to just start feeding a well rounded base salt after a few weeks into the next run and treating it like a regular potting mix. This was a harsh learning lesson.

Click to expand...

many peoples not feeding their plants for few weeks. i dont understand why. in this run i fed them with company chart and no overfeeding sings.

also i am thinking to switch to leds next run. i found a good led equals to 1500w HPS. bit expensive but better than running anohter 600w in grow tent.

Update time with not good news.

This is Autopilot XXL. Flowering and already started to smell.



This is Vincenzio. Problem starts here. Lower fan leaves and little leaves at very bottom started to discoloring and it was easy to pull off them. Is that normal?


Biggest leaf is also discoloring like this



Also discoloring on almost all leaf tips like this. Could be nutrient burn? or light was too close for 2 days. Now i hang it to top of tent.




Autopilot's few lower leaves discolored and got dry, easy to pull off too but Autopilot's leaf tips are very normal now. W.W. is bit taller than autopilot and close to light.

This is runt w.w. #2. Also you can clearly see how discolored big leaves of Vincenzio on this pic.



And this is W.W. #3. Still vegging but it's not big as much as others. Not runt but not giant.



I pulled at least 5-6 little and 3-4 mid size leaves from Vincenzio. As i said, it was very easy to pull off. I just hold it with my finger and it's poof. I am started to worry about it. Also spots on leaf tips makes me worry. I hope it's just light stress. But what i am reading is, N deficiency is reason to easy pull off of leaves.

So what to do now? I don't want to lose this beauty.
