Shit!!!! Some lovely looking ladies there buddy you have done very well with them! Well done.
Thanks! It's my first grow and I tried to give them the absolute best of everything they need. Light, nutrients, ventilation, and most important prayer.

I have some outdoor plants also that are mammoths so if all goes well it should be a good harvest. They say for your first grow to just try and just get to harvest so that's what we should both focus on. Good luck with your plants and like someone else said every mistake is a lesson learned. I dont know about you but I find the whole thing really rewarding, I'm growing my own medicine from a seed! Pretty amazing when you think about it. Keep us posted on how your plants are doing.

Ah no problem buddy, I love reading about people's grows. I will definitely stay updated on your post, I'm cheering for you bro! I hope you succeed and I'm sure you will.

Ya I've heard a lot of good things about Royal Queen seeds and cheese is an awesome strain.

I just ordered my seeds for my next crop too. It's so hard to pick with soo many great strains out there but I picked 2 strains to focus on, Island Bubba Kush which is a really short purple indica with dense buds, heavy resin and a quick flowering time of 7 weeks by Dutch Passion and Glueberry O.G which is suppose to be phenomenal and a heavy yielder also by Dutch Passion. I bought them from Attitude seedbank.

My indoor crop right now is Grand Daddy Purple by ilovegrowingmarijuana which is amazing for pain and decided to grow it because I cant find it anymore in any of the dispensaries and I have never had a strain since then that was so good for pain not to mention it tastes amazing. The whole room smells like sweet sugary grape pops and should turn purple by week 6 or 7 of flower.

Dispensaries out here like to just sell the latest trendy strains and with it being recreational now in Cali pain strains are starting to disappear.

My outdoor crops are Master Kush and Girl Scout Cookies extreme also by ILGM.

I also topped all my plants indoors, it was a little scary at first chopping off the main stem for me since I'm a noob but I saw there is nothing to it once it was done and the plants just exploded with vertical growth after that.

I think one thing I'll do differently next time is grow them hydroponically instead of soil because it gets to be a real pain in the ass watering so many plants lol.

Here I go rambling on lol, I tend to do that about things I'm passionate about. Oh what strains are you currently growing? I dont think I saw that in your post.

Yeah they are brilliant to deal with, I went into their shop when i was in Amsterdam earlier in the year it's amazing (I got to Amsterdam once a year) I call it Amsterdamage lol Same here buddy I talk about things loads when I'm passionate about something to be honest I was secretly surfing this forum and another called grasscity for months and months before I actually signed up and started postimg i suppose I was a bit paranoid about openly talking about growing and smoking to people lol Your right there is a lot of strains to pick from from reading about people tend to go for the most powerful THC strains royal queen seeds have a new strain called "Galato" I think it is someone tested it on another forum and the THC levels came in at 32% I think it was that's magic lol!! Give it a another 15-20 year and i think there will be strains out there that will 50% or somewhere near, Back in the 90s you where luck to get a bit off "Skunk" as we used to call it everyone used to smoke "solid" or hash as it's known that's why I like Amsterdam so much it takes me back to when I first started smoking hash believe it or not when I'm in coffee shops i order more hash than I donated lol Yeah i love the purple strains they are something else I read the first time I seen a purple bud i was like wow!! What's this lol! Good choice buddy in choosing a purple star i have you heard of the star in purple urkle? I've heard good things about that to. You me mentioned the ilovegrowingmarijuana i have got some good tips off that website I didn't know they sell seed lkke? That's a knew one on me, Ill have a nose on it after typing this, Also grow diaries website has helped me a lot to I typed in the strains I am growing and the breeder I got them from and a few grows come up when people have grew it before and they fill their "diary" in week by week until harvest with pictures, their nutes they are feeding all sorts man it's brilliant, I've heard some good things about GSC it seems to be a popular strain, I wish I could grow hydro style but unfortunately I'm growing on a budget, I'm growing northern lights and white rhino outside I did have 4 2 off each but other 2 where male so I just experimented on the males lol Ill shot some pics up off the ones outside now ill take a few pics on my ipad and ill put some pics on off my indoor girls in around half hour 45 mins it's nearly 12 lol8 Ohh yeah with you mentioning dispensaries I'm assuming you are from the states? You are one lucky guy lol! I wish I could walk in shop and buy my weed, The UK won't Legalise anytime soon I think they will only ever legalise it is if the country is massively in debt and we need the taxes off it other than that the politicians won't entertain the thought, Police sort off turn a blind eye to it though where I'm from mainly because there is that many people smoking, Sorry bud this has turned in to a shirt story lol

Nope no calmag giving to them at all do you think this this could be the problem a calmag issue?
added sensi cal mag at 50% of the recommended amount with your mix and they loved it & as i go into week 5/6/7 i give it less and less and on flush i add molasses to my RO water first week & 2nd week just R0 water without PH-+ ( 80% RO & 20% tap water)

Im at week 2 of flower and my PPM is around 480, iv seem some guys have over 1500ppm lol. Im using organics nutes & canna terrer pro soil, gona also add Canna PK13/14 to week 5/6/7 only to boost the bitch up

Couple more here, By my calculations they are 6 weeks 4 days into flower from flip, Or they are 4 weeks 4 days into flower since they showed first pistols, They showed showed them 2 weeks after flip son I got told to count from then rather than the flip. The camera on my ipad is not that good like hope you guys can see them okay.

defo its good to have Cal mag & Eposm sult in your pile
I've been looking at the canna brand off Cal-Mag, I'm going to run there full range off nutes and additives next run when these are done I was running on a budget this time I've only my been feeding them canna a+b even though they aren't in coco but I've heard you can just feed them it if they are in soil with some good results to. Even though i should be running there soil range nutes, The canna Canna Vega, Canna Flores but I'm going to start buying the additives for the canna coco and start growing in coco to for my next run they are in Jacks Magic soil now.

It could be a few problems

1) Old, Light-Starved Leaves Are Dry or Crispy – May be Normal

-Usually, the bottom-most leaves start to get a little crispy or yellow as they start getting old. If your dryness problem is just affecting the oldest leaves that don't get much light anymore, you likely don't need to worry.

After your plant has grown a few sets of leaves, it's very normal for the first few sets of leaves to turn yellow and die, especially if they're not getting light anymore

2)Leafs Closest to Light

- If the leaves affected are the ones which are closest to your lights, it's possible that the crispiness is a result of 'light burn' or 'heat burn'. You can tell if this is the cause because the only cannabis leaves affected are the ones closest to the lights or source of heat.

Light Burn (can happen even if the temperature is cool because the light is too close)


3)Leafs Near Hot Lights

-Even if the grow light is a good distance away from your cannabis plants, they can still get stressed out by heat. Cannabis plants generally prefer temperatures under 85°F / 30°C, though some strains are more sensitive to heat (shorter, bushier strains are often more sensitive to heat than the longer, lankier strains). Most plants are fine with a few hot days, but if it's hot every day for weeks, your plants can really start to suffer. Most marijuana plants can handle a small heat spell, but they don't want to live in a desert!

4) Leaf Edges – Likely Nutrient Burn

- If the dryness affecting leaves that are new growth, it's possible that you are you are giving your cannabis too many nutrients and it's showing the first signs of nutrient burn. Usually, the first signs of cannabis nutrient burn are yellow or brown tips on leave.


5) New Growth – Possibly a PH or Nutrient Problem

- The last reason your cannabis may get crispy or dry leaves is due to some sort of nutrient deficiency. The best way to prevent nutrient deficiencies is to make sure you're giving your plants the right type of nutrients and pHing the water to the proper level depending on your growing medium. But that doesn't mean more is better. It's important not to overload your plants with too high levels of nutrients.

6) How to Fix

First, check the pH.

If a Magnesium or Iron deficiency, consider getting a CaliMagic supplement that is made for plants (you should always add Magnesium and Calcium at the same time because these two nutrients work together closely in the cannabis plant, and are important in iron uptake).

If grow lights are on a 24/0 schedule, change to 18/6 and move the lights up a few inches. This nighttime break and slightly lower levels of light will help an ailing plant recover more quickly. Once the plant is growing fast and healthy again, you can go back to full power.

If you don't know what type of nutrients to use, I recommend using the General Hydroponics Flora trio for hydro or coco, and Fox Farms Soil Nutrient Trio for your soil grow.

Learn everything you need to know about cannabis nutrients!

Fox Farm Soil Trio is great for soil grows

Hope this helps bro

6.) Root Problems, Root Rot or Bad Watering Practices

Chronic overwatering can sometimes cause unusual deficiencies even if the pH is spot on, like this plant grown in muddy soil. The biggest sign that these symptoms are caused by overwatering and not pH (or something else) is that the plant is always droopy. Another example of a deficiency that's actually caused by overwatering

7) Bugs or Mold

If your plant gets bugs, it can cause lots of symptoms including dry, crispy leaves! . Dry, crispy, yellow leaves caused by a fungus gnat infestation

8.) Other Possible Causes

If you accidentally spill full-strength nutrient filled water on some of your leaves and don't wipe it off, it's possible that they will get burned from this as well, either from the nutrients or the lights being magnified by the water.


Another thing to think about is, "Did anything different happen right before you started seeing problems?" Was there a hot day, a new supplement, or some other change? Sometimes this might give you a hint to the cause!


Did Anything Different or Unusual Happen Recently?
