Did I mention Autos are tougher for new growers? Yeah, totally
Good to know, Im switching to regular feminized seeds for the future. My previous grow was a normal flowering plant but the flowering took really long so I wanted a fast grow this time.
I'm pretty impatient haha, bad trait for cannabis growers I know... :bigjoint:

Knowing is half the battle! Fight on!

She looks pretty done, I see ambers.
Yeah I though that too, but there is still a lot of white hairs and new buds forming. On the new buds the trichomes are more clear with few milky ones while on the older ones there are a few amber ones. Do I go by the oldest trichomes or the new trichomes? I'm guessing she will just start fox tailing if I let her grow by now?
Thanks for the help btw

No problem, sorry your yield isn’t great but it’s up to you now when to pull her. Yes she could foxtail from here, hard to say.

I am so confused wether it's light burn or over feeding....
People telling me totally different different things, I need to give them more nutes but I need also need to stop because I'm overfeeding..
I hear you Darling.
I'm growing 8 autos (Alien OG Kush) in mid-flower on 2400 PPM (80/20 Bloom/Micro) and 850 watts Metal Halide Lights but they are more high up than yours. Medium - Coco Perlite
Temperature : Average 30 Degrees Celsius

They seem to be doing well.

Your buds look great though... And right now it's about the buds, not leaves and stems (although they are to be watched).
As long as your trichomes are doing well!

Good luck and keep us posted! ♥

PS: My photographs look a bit yellow due to the lighting in the room - but my leaves are still green, thankfully.

Aight thanks for the info!

But how can I lower my humidity?
I only have a 2x2 space, and I'm pretty much dependent of the weather for humidity (pretty humid in Belgium), I can only put a bowl of water to increase humidity right?
I don't see a dehumidifier fitting in that space with a plant + it's really expensive

Until I find the problem, do I still feed the plant or just give water?
I've got a mini humidifier(haven't used yet) that's the size of a mini fan and a mini eva dry dehumidifier. The eva dry dehumidifier works great for high RH. It's reusable which is the incredible part and is perfect in your size tent. I have the e-333 which covers 333 cubic ft. I don't know how attainable it would be since your in Belgium but run a Google search. My cab is 2x2 so I need mini alternatives as well.

Yeah we have similar small dehumidifiers online but I'm a bit worried about the noise, my tent in is my garden shed and I really need to keep the fans quit for my neighbor
I'm doubting between this dehumidifier and one with pads or something, which you can hang in your grow tent. I'm probably going to dry my plant there so It needs to be effective to prevent mold

The eva dry makes no noise. You hang it up in your tent and let it do its thing. The crystals are orange, when they turn green it indicates it needs to be dried. It has a plug, plug it in for 12 hours and your good to go for reuse.

Thanks!

I'm going to pay a lot of attention to the drying and curing proces so I think it will end good, yield isn't that big of an issue for me.
And I'll hang my lights up higher for sure next time, I underestimated the LED light after using HID. Feels like it's doing more light damage than my 250w HID at 35cm

Your plants are looking really nice, awesome set up!
Btw, when I had HID lights I used to take pictures behind good polarized sunglasses which made it look really good, not yellow.

I'm not disappointed, got high humidity to worry about now. I ordered a smal dehumidifer but it takes forever to arrive :(
Of course it starts raining for the whole weekend now here, nice. Belgian mail and weather is not something to brag about haha

She looks healthy to me. Why the concern? Has she under-performed?

I am sitting with these roots on my Velvet Buds that I've just planted over into 100 litre pots.
They seem to be doing really well although dense AF.

PS: I find clay pebbles at the bottom of the pot over an air dome makes for amazing root structures. They loooove the space and oxygen.
