Day 86
Flower (Day 20 /50)

So according to her grow schedule she has another 30 days to go in flowering stage.

I’m started to get a tickle in my belly… nervous! Really hoping she finishes strong!!

Here’s some pics…

She’s gonna finish up wicked man, those buds are coming along great :ok_hand: :+1:. In a week or two I would consider a probe check and clean(if needed) just to make sure everything is calibrated still so your girl finishes strong :muscle: I’m not seeing any signs of deficiencies but just to be safe!
Any of those inner miniscule buds below your support rack you can just snip off, they most likely won’t get big. Don’t have to by all means but then you’ll know for next time you can. I just want all my nutes to be used on the keeper colas👍

Day 90
Flower (Day 24 /50)

Sup growers!

Checked her out yesterday and didn’t like what I saw. Few leaves have these spots on them. It sure if it has to do with the temperature fluctuations or what?!?!
She does show that she is still budding.

Appreciate any help/advice…

Blessings all!!

That temperature is fairly high, is there any way to reduce it? Any idea what the water temperature is as well? I’d wager it’s a pH issue (causing issues in nutrient uptake, perhaps related to temperature), or something worse. Does it get really cool at night, or are you running your lights on opposite schedule to the sun (in which case it’s probably not temp swings)?

I noticed these leaves are “sweating” – you will probably want to dry those spots off if you can (regularly, sift through leaves to find the wetness and get rid of it with a paper towel). Also try to make sure leaves that are sweating aren’t touching and getting stuck together like a sandwich. That’s how powder mold (aka “PM”) and “bud rot” can start; left unattended that moisture builds up and can cause issues.

Day 92
Flower (Day 26 /50)

Wazup Growers!

This damn NY weather!!! @vegetato Thanks for all the info… I’m still trying to process in detail all the great info you gave me! Water temp has been good for the most part. As far as the sweating I had no idea that was bad! The leaves don’t seem to be sticking together.
What I realized today and I have a pic to show… Bottle 4 is pretty much empty. Could this be the problem… i bet it is.

Growers… stay safe out there!! It’s getting crazy!!
Stay safe!

Hard to say for certain if it’s the cause but an empty bottle definitely seems like it could pose a problem. :slight_smile: Good catch!

The sweating takes a while to become an issue but it’s good to keep it under control asap.

I hope you have a spare nutrient bottle. I guess it’s a good idea to stock up some bottles per grow. Better to have more than not enough

Man you are gonna have some beautiful looking bud when she finishes :ok_hand:. Hopefully running out of 4 was the issue at play here. But yeah the temp swing could be it too. Does that say high 90 and low 58? Could that be it @vegetato ? And yeah @CannabisJAC are your lights on during the day or at night?

@CannabisJAC If you are indeed out of #4 bottle and dont have another, I can always “lend” you one of my spares and you can order another for me. I bought a complete spare grow pack just incase. I’m not too far from the Bronx.

Wazup Growers!

First off thank you for all the feedback!!

@tightt YOU EFFEN’ ROCK!!! You don’t know how appreciative I am for that offer! Thankfully, I too have bottle replacements. So I am good! Either way that’s very kind of you!!!

@Russel_Richardson & @vegetato . Yes sir! You saw that temp… that has actually been NY’s up/down weather! :man_facepalming: As far as my lights go they are on a proper schedule. Off at night on during day. Also, thanks for the mental ease… I’m really hoping for some great yield.

@Aang… I agree! That’s why I doubled up from day one… :call_me_hand:

Thank you and as always
Blessings health and wellness to all! Stay safe!

Sooo then one thing you can do here is put the lights on at night and off during the day. That will help with temps for sure. Idk about the states but our “cheap” electricity rate time is after 7pm and goes till 7am do that’s when i run my flower schedule. Perfect 12 hrs lol
I hear you with the weather though. I’m just south West of Toronto and it’s been rather humid and hot the last little bit. Could always add a fan into the room, as well as the Grobo to help try cool it down during the day although I’m sure you got that going already if it’s hot haha

Hey,
Could you tell me how to switch the light schedule?

Hey @CannabisJAC

I’m not sure it is advisable to change light settings during flower but I could most certainly be wrong, wait for champ advice on this.

Here are instructions just so you know how:

In your app click the menu button then select “settings”

Then select “change light settings”

Then use the blue bar to adjust your schedule

Yeah even I’ve never made a total 12 hr switch this late into flower. I believe I did mine in transition for my first grow and didn’t seem to affect it. @chris_barfield whats your opinion on this? He’s on day 30-32 of flower

Do not switch the lights if you have already switch to flower… you will Herm the plants plain and simple … if your dealing with heat issues move the grobo to a cooler area

Day 99
Flower (Day 33 /50)

Wasup Growers!
Water change day! I’ve had to replace both bottle 3 & 4. In a few days I will most likely have to replace bottle 5 also! Going forward I will always have a double of bottles 3, 4 & 5.
Temperature are still all over the place here in the BX.
Thanks for all the feedback!!!
I didn’t change her light schedule. I will make sure for the next grow. Today I also removed a few leafs that were totally in the way and or dried up… You can see the stress on some of her leaves too​:pensive:. I’ve apologized to her several times! :call_me_hand:

Thanks Growers!!
Health and wellness to all!
Stay safe!!

Oh here’s some pics…
