Hi guys, Ive switched to 12/12 18 days ago after 5-6 week veg. Lots of lower leaves yellowed so removed and also removed some bigger fan leaves for extra light as running 300w led draw 180w. Using coco a+b nutes and calmag ph is 5.8. I put the yellowing leaves down to low nitrogen she's bigger than I'm used too lol, I've noticed this morning the very top leaves have a funny tinge to them. Any advice would be welcomed cheers

Nice looking! Is that from Reserva?

How much do you feed her? How often? It can be due to pH or nut deficiency. I've had that problem with both, in veg or flowering. It looks like a magnesium deficiency to me. You know that your plant can't absorb magnesium efficiently below 6.0, right? Let your pH swing a little.

Hay dog, my light is at 8 inches it is a little closer than usual as she is twice as tall as I'm used too so am worried about loss of light lower down, I may raise a little later today.
Hessam I feed 4 ltr with 5ml a+b don't want too get too strong nutes. I use 2-3 ml calmag also, feed feed water every 3 days she drinks more than my other 2 successful grow's. I read 6 was good but I ph to 5.7-5.8 as that's what worked on recent grows I've only used coco since my first grow last year I guess this ones a bit awkward being TD from Barneys. I like the size of her and am willing to wait for long flower period just hope she's worth it. Some pics of my last grow just for size comparison same set up. 2nd pic is TD.

Well it's Been 2 weeks since last update,4 weeks and 5 days since flip. I gave just plain water and sorted ph pen all probs due to ph out of whack but all sorted now I hope she's had bloom nutes only a light dose. So far I am impressed with TD not as bad as I was expecting but I know I have more than 5-6 weeks left. What do u guys think of her so far? Pics from this morning.

Well I think I have a hermie would anyone be able to confirm pls? Still smelling strong and very sticky packing on triches but I have one bud in last couple days where pistils have gone orange. I have noticed a few nanners (maybe). Here's the pics! The last pic was inside a calyx underneath main bud top of cola. I think she's a gonner

Day 50 today, so start wk 8 flower.previous concerns are gone now she's packing on some weight and taking shape now. I have about 10% Amber 70% cloudy on main cola! Seems a lil early as she's stated as 70 day flower and loads of journals I've read have gone over 100 days. Do u think it would be worth a chop soon, just cola that is?

Still going strong and I have noticed about 15% Amber 65% cloudy on the main cola. I don't want to chop as its early especially for TD, I don't want to leave too long as I don't want thc to degrade but I also want her to fatten up a bit. Any ideas guys? Also has anyone seen a rogue bud which looks like first couple pics?

I say keep her going for a while longer. Let her fatten up. Don't worry about THC degrading. That is one awesome looking plant, btw

Day 59, quick update. Ive been thinking about chopping main cola, no flush and once the rest is ready flush. Once dry give another normal water then let dry out completely just for a comparison on taste. I may have to chop cola on day 65 a bit early but their are Amber triches and not many white pistils all orange and receding, what do u guys think?

Well the deed is done I've had 19g dried so far and chopped the rest on day 69 of 70. I wanted to wait but due to moving I had to do it. All trimmed and hanging is 271.46g wet , so looking over 3oz which is double what I had on 2 previous grow's all with 300w vipar actual draw 180w. I'm a happy chappy but I will def get another led and try a lil scrog. Here's a few pics!
