Diggs99 First grow, Lets talk about it!

I'm keeping a close watch here. This grow and a couple of other similar ones will determine my next one.

Hey Diggs99 following this thread now, love the updates!

My first grow is coming up, some similarities- hope my journal turns out as well as yours.

Just a bit of advice. The way the fans are clawing is a sign of slight Nitrogen tox. Next watering I would just do phed water. I run in ffof soil mixture for years. Alot of people dont like it. But you can grow dank in it. But anyway ffof ph changes alot. You're giving calmag I would ph to 6.15-6.25 that's the sweet spot for calmag uptake and it gives a little room for ph swing. From the soil. I wouldn't go up in nute strength for a good minute. Just advice take it or leave it. Good luck.

Edit: calmag has N in it as well. So id give em the next two times you water just plain phed water.

Hey, welcome

everything has went well so far, still long way to go before smoke reports tho lol, hoping the next couple months go as well as this past month has.

Biggest lesson learned since starting, PATIENCE

water when they need it( light cup/pot method) if your environment is dialed in and you have proper lighting, they dont need much taking care of

Hey, just wanted to clarify, you are saying no calmag either correct?

Next watering just straight ph'd water?

Hay, diggs99. You are getting quite a following. I think it would be really cool if when you are ready to try it out if you post the day and time and we all light up together to celebrate. About as close as you can get to setting around the fire and passing the pipe.

Correct just water no nutes at all. And I'd do the same for the next watering as well. The next two times they are light. I would do phed to 6.15-6.25 two times in a row. Then the 3rd time they are light. Give them a nute feeding. But keep it low. Bc the clawing is from the N in your soil, calmag, and nutrients. Just a tad too much N. Not too much that the tips are burning. But enough to cause the fans to claw like that. They should be pointed up praying.

Pic below is the start of too much N see how the fans are clawing and dropping.


These below are healthy as can be. Fans pointing straight up like they are praying. Not all fans will point up. Especially on a bigger plant. Lower fans dont get as much as the tops of course.

Thank WW

I see what you are saying , will def take said advice and relax on nutes and calmag for next 2 waterings.

That was their first feeding of nutes and calmag the other day, 1/4 nutes and 3ml calmag. These numbers seem fine to avoid burning my plants? For future waterings.

Day 32 wakey wakey


Lights just coming on

Temps 79f / 52rh lights on and 69f / 45rh lights out

Haha sounds good.

Day 33 from seed

Just finished more LST, plants will be ready for water again in morning.


Still debating up potting to 5s, which I assume will have to happen soon. Was hoping to flip these by first week of January. Second at latest.

Lights about to go out

They drooping pretty good this morning.

Hoping it's a combo of n tox like WW said and them needing water this morning.

They are also very lazy looking ,this time every day

Ph'd water to runoff this morning

Lights back on

These girls start falling asleep an hour or more before lights out every morning.

I have decided to wait a day or two until pots dry out a little, then I will transplant into final 5g pots and install scrog

Still day 34

Just finished a light defoliation on one and a few more tie downs on all 4.


If anyone has any comments or advice I'm all ears/eyes. The advice I have gotten so far has been so very helpful. Thank you

Trying to read up on scrogging as much as possible as well as transplanting out of fabric pots lol so much to Learn

I think everything is looking nice and healthy man. Ya my plants do the same thing right before lights off they droop pretty bad but by the morning they are all perked up loving life. good job bro!

Thanks man

So far so good.

Took a few mornings seeing them really drooping to figure out it was mostly laziness lol

Had a slight N tox so that helped them droop a little aswell according to a member nice enough to point it out to me.

They always look good when lights come back on tho

The leaves are still very dark green i also think it looks like a slight N tox which you said you recently fed it so that kind of makes sense. Also when the lights are off your plants tend to go to sleep mixed with cooler temps at night can make them look a little droopy. I like to take a look into things at least an hour after lights on then seem to be a little perkier by then.
