https://imgur.com/1J2MCyM quick video of the girl on day 78. Did a 'major' defoliation day 79. Should have been done sooner, but it got done. This gets us through week 12.

As I sit here and reflect on some of the earlier grow, I am starting to realize that lots of my discoloration early in the grow was likely predominantly caused by me. Not thinking, with this being a coco/peat mix, once I started feeding, it should have been every feed. I was not wanting to overfeed, so basically I fed one watering, then the next was plain water, thus essentially flushing the pot once a week and feeding once a week. Am I sure this was the cause, no, but it is the most logical thing that I can think of. I will call it 'first grow' lessons learned!

Just chugging along. Bought a new clip fan, a vivosun, that clips to the pole different than most. It comes on Amazon, and sells out quick. According to their Youtube page, they had 1000 stock that sold out in 5 days.They sell on Amazon for $32 when they have them. I am happy with its performance thus far.

Today completes 5 weeks of flower (from time switch). Opened the tent just prior to lights on to grab a couple flash photos. It's listed as a 55-63 day flower. I reckon that isn't from time switch, as this just seems like it has more than 3 weeks to go (that would be the beginning of the window given).

Nice start

What are you using to control temp and humidity? I would try to get them more consistent and lower the humidity

Obviously not enough ;)

Just airflow from pole fan, passive intake, 4" fan/filter for exhaust. Temps will pretty much vary from 82-84 with lights on, to 68-70 with the lights off. I am personally okay with that swing, though I am sure it may be slightly beneficial to move the lights on temps to closer to 78ish.

Humidity during lights on isn't soo much a problem (38-50%) with the lights on most of the time, but the lights off humidity, with the lower temps jumps up, and the humidity in my house has been higher recently (spiking @ 60-70% right now). I have room to improve, but for a learning curve grow, I am okay 'taking chances' and trying 'extremes'

You got to learn and the only way is to keep doing runs

I was the same way until I had my first bud rot

Most strains will be fine they have some decent low watt de humidifiers on amazon that will keep it aunder 50 for around 110$

Some strains you can not tell they rot from inside out and look perfect

weed out the things you can control as you learn them

6 weeks of flower complete. Some small nute burn, but have cut back to 3/4 of the recommended on the bloom, as I had been giving full strength nutes.

Looking good mate, nice screen setup by the way...
Thanks mate!
