Bag Seed - First Grow

Hey guys I've got my first grow going and thought I'd put together a journal to document as I go.

The plant we are going to be following is a seed from a bag I got. We know nothing of the genetics, whether it is autoflower or photoperiod, or really anything about it at all.

My setup
4x4 Vivosun tent
Ac infitinty 6 inch fan with temp controller
2 Mars Hydro TSL 2000 lights
One humidifier
Two oscillating table top fans
G hydro 6 inch carbon filter
Fox farms Ocean forest soil mixed with 30 percent perlite
Fox farms trio nutes

Excited to see what you get! Following :]

Days one through 8 shown in pictures here. These are days since seed popped above ground. So 8 days of light exposure to plant. Things are simple at this stage. Water and humidity. I suspect too much water by the wobbly leaves early on. But the plant outgrew these quickly. RO water. No nutes. Light water around seedling as soil dries. Usually once a day. Sometimes twice. Also should be noted the blurple lights you see here are what I use for seedling lights until veg stage kicks in.

Thank you! Happy to be in an active community

Days 8 -11 are the final days of life in the seedling room. Wobbly leaf development still occurring (someone has told me this is called "speed wobbles" from overwatering?). Other than that growth is as to be expected for now.

Days 12 - 16 see much improvement as the veg state clearly kicks into overdrive. I focused these shots on the weird wobbly leaf. Still not feeding yet the soil should have plenty of nutrients in it still. Probably not going to train this one and let it grow naturally for the most part. I started topping and lst on some of my other plants. I'll let this one be my control.

Day 21 (s)he got the first feeding today. Fox Farms grow big at half strength and tiger bloom. Starting to see some height. Lookin healthy.

Does it smell yet?

Six weeks into flower. There is a decent amount of smell but not enough that I've hooked up my filter.

Starting to look tasty

Just cut down one of a couple West Coast OG autos by Fastbuds to tide me over till these photos are done.

Those yellow lower canopy leaves are pretty normal then? I do have two plants I'm worried about if youd like to see pictures

It's pretty normal in mid to late flower to have some lower fan leaves yellow, but you can feed them a little more if you think it is happening too early. Some growers purposely stop feeding early to encourage the plant to "fade" and get their fall colors before harvest. Others like to keep feeding all the way to harvest. Go ahead and post the pictures of the other 2 plants and we should be able to help you figure the issue.

I think this late into flower you should only be seeing slow yellowing at the bottom leaves. So it looks pretty spot on. Some folks manage to keep them green, but others let them fade as long as it isn't speeding upwards through the plant

So the first tall plant here has been showing purplish leaves and red stems. Then the leaves turned brown and fell off. I suspect a potassium deficiency and I tried feeding as well as flushing in case of lockout. Never saw improvement. Second smaller plant is just starting to show purple coloring now as well. Both in fox farms ocean Forrest 5 gal containers 30 percent perlite mix.

Leaves turning purple is usually a sign of a phosphorus deficiency

When I add my nutes my ph goes to about 6.2. Which would be lockout for that. Am I wrong in thinking the soil should buffer that some or should I be using some kind of ph up?
