First grow (LED + Soil + Various Autos)

Today I noticed a little clawing on a few of the leaf tips. I'd say amongst the 5 plants, there are a total of 10 clawed tips. Going to go with plain PH'd water for the next 2 waterings for sure. If it gets worse I'll flush. It has been a day and a half and no new clawed tips shown up.

On a side note, they are starting to look like cotton ball factories.

Got some rust/necrosis spots going on a few of my leaves. Posted a thread with pic on it here: https://www.rollitup.org/t/necrosis-rust-spot-issue-on-a-few-leafs.919356/. They are looking great otherwise and as planned, I went with straight water this morning given the slight clawing I noticed after the big 3/4 dose of Tiger Bloom.

End of week 5. Watered them this morning and spread a gallon of 3/4 dosed cal-mag water throughout the 5 plants per the instructions given in the post mentioned above. Here they are with a close-up of one of the 2 white widows. Despite the issue mentioned above, they seem excited to be doing their thing which makes me happy. Hopefully I can stay out of their way till the end.

Just a quick update. They received a full dose of cal-mag plus this morning in addition to a 1/4 dose of advanced nutrients ancient earth. I try to mix in 1/4 dose of either ancient earth or big bloom to keep the soil active.

I'm getting some yellowing on some of the lower fan leaves spanning multiple strains which confuses me (unless this is totally natural) because the last time I gave them a 3/4 dose of Tiger Bloom, which has modest amount of nitrogen, I got some clawing. That was last week. To me they now look like they want nitrogren hah but again, maybe this is just normal.

Day 44 and the Candy Kush strains are starting to show some frosting. I'm pretty stoked. Timeframes for the 3 strains via their seed banks are below.

AutoSeed Candy Kush Auto - Bank specified time = 65 to 75 days
Greenhouse Seed Bank King Kush - Bank specified time = 49 to 63 days
Seedsman White Widow Auto - Bank specified time = 49 days

Quick update with some shots. Yesterday I only noticed some frosting on one of the candy kush strains but today I'm seeing it all over the place.

Ok slight tweaks with today's watering. Ditched the reflectors and dropped the lights to about 8" from canopy. Much thanks to @PSUAGRO. & @RainDan among others for their knowledge regarding reflector impact, height, penetration, all that shit that boggles my mind still.

At just over 50 days the buds are looking great however the leaves on most of the plants are starting to show their age. Will get some shots in later today. Going photos next round, my order came in. Fun times ahead...

Day 51 photo. One of the candy kush (far right) is looking pretty beat. I've got an open thread on this one.

Ok so I think the cold temps these past 2 weeks have been causing the issues with the above plant. Here is the dedicated thread on it, I've taken steps to ensure less than a 10° swing on temps and hopefully never hitting 67° again. With the modifications last nights low was 74°.

Ok finally got a cheapo macro lens (this one to be specific) for my phone and it appears that more than half my trichomes are milky. In general the buds re really starting to swell.

just realized just how much they've swollen in the past few weeks. These shots are 13 days apart.

Day 58 and trichomes across all strains are very milky, The white widow looks close to ready (49 day cycle according to the bank). I think once I start seeing a lot of amber on the WW I'll take them all down. By then the candy and king will be starting to show some amber and it will make things a lot easier for my first dry & cure. This offset in readiness is another thing I failed to really consider when popping three different strains haha. A few trich shots.

Cobs are working well for you. Nice looking plants!

Thanks a ton man! I feel like I'm standing on the backs of giants with all the knowledge and help from the folks here.

Your so close to the finish line here. Plants are in very good shape for this stage of the grow. Keep doing what you're doing and you'll get the flowers

Yeah, I too have learnt lots since joining up here. Lots of excellent growers here

Day 60. Well folks, the end is near. I'm seeing a bit more glowing amber trichs under my lens and the plants are starting to show their age. Most of them are tipping one way or another and they've continued to swell this past week. I'm thinking they have at least another week to go though, maybe two but we'll see.

On another note I got my 5G roottrapper's in and should have my soil re-use amendments in today. I'm amped for my next cycle. I'm going to go with photos this time purely organic and take a stab at mainlining. I was thinking about popping seeds now since autos are on a 20/4 schedule and the light is raised pretty high. I could probably get away with germinating without the seedlings burning if they were on the floor. If timing was such that I'm ready for a transplant when these autos are ready for harvest that would be killer.

Finally harvested! I created a post here but here are some shots. Digital scale is on the way, will post total weight once in.

Just weighed them, 6.82oz!

very cool :3
and i wouldn't really know, but from the research i've done good call on the COB LED's! plants look great.
