Im subbed. Plants are looking really nice.

Just ordered LSD seeds so im really looking forward to seeing how she shapes up.

Your set up is almost the same as me. 250W, Biobizz...

How does that heaven stuff work out for you? I have never tried it.

Cheers mate and good luck!
Thanks irishmc :-)


This is actually my first time using bio heaven, didn't have it in my first grow.

I cant say i'm noticing any big difference, we'll see when the buds start to form.

I hope it's worth it's price, is it allot more expensive then the other bio products where you buy it?



I'm also using bio grow, bloom and top max

Yea..but i wanted to know the about the prices,it just interest to compare local grow shops prices.
Bio heaven allot more expensive then the others?

I found it odd that it was so expensive, the guy in the shop told me it's worth it's price and I'll be amazed by the effect.

Looking awesome Astro! I have a couple of Barney's LSD beans coming to me now (along with some Tangerine Dream) and it's good to have your journal as a reference. Not seeing those hairs would probably be killing me too. I'm definately subscribing and will be checking in often on your progress. Great journal with tons of great pics, thanks again for sharing.

Thanks man, i appreciate your reply!

I'm glad to say the Dayzt was right, i'm starting to see more and more hairs on that LSD.
I'm feeling more relaxed now :-)

The VK is continuing her wild stretch, i have to raise the light every day.

Update - 24 days into 12\12 - 59 days from seed plant

A lot of changes in the last week, flowering has really kicked in.
Strange that the smell is less strong than a month ago...

Watered them just after the pictures taken with 2L of filtered and rain water each, 4ml biogrow, 4ml biohean, 4ml biobloom, 2ml topmax.
They were bone dry...

This is the VK







LSD

Nice pics, Astro! Looks like they're really stretching tall. Is the VK still much taller than the LSD? Those trichomes are showing up great on the VK photo, looks great. Keep it up!!!
(Also, just curious, I'm no pro by any means, but have the leaves been curling much like that on the ends? Is that bad at all?)

Yep the VK is still about 20cm taller, i put the LSD on a box so it's the same height from the light.
Those trichomes were a nice surprise when i went to see them one morning :)

The curled leaves got me worried too, it's been like that for a long time, first it showed only on the VK so i thought maybe it's supposed to be like that, and now the LSD also have curled leaves at the end.

I wonder if someone knows what it means...

The leave changes may be caused by one of these factors...

Over-fertilizing
- the most common cause of leaf cupping aka leaf margin rolling, leaf margin burn, and leaf tip curl/burn is the overzealous use of too much plant food in relationship to factors such as plant vigor and rate of growth. The first unit of a plant to show moisture stress is the leaf at its margins and/or tips, reflected by margin rolling (cupping) or burning. A hard, crispy feel to the leaf frequently occurs as well, as opposed to a soft and cool feel of a happy leaf. When you have a high concentration of salts in solution (in the root medium) compared to the salinity levels found in the plant’s tissue, water is actually drawn out of the plant across the root gradient in order to fix the ppm imbalance. IOW, this is a natural, osmotic response that serves to equalize salinity levels on both sides of the root’s epidermal gradient. Back off on the amount and/or frequency of plant food. Too much plant food can also burn the roots, especially the sensitive root tips, which then creates another set of problems. Note - as soil dries, the concentration of the remaining salts rises further exacerbating the problem.

Underwatering - not only is the plant now stressed due to a low supply of adequate moisture, but carbohydrate production has been greatly compromised (screwed up). Step up the watering frequency, and if need be, organic growers may need to water from the bottom up until moisture levels reach a norm throughout the medium. If the pot feels light to the lift - it’s time to water. Don’t wait until the soil pulls away from the sides of the pot or leaves droop before you water. And of course, leach once in a while to get rid of excess salts.

High Heat - the plant is losing water via it’s leaves faster than what can be replaced by the root system. The leaf responds by leaf margin cupping or rolling up or down (most times up) in order to conserve moisture. A good example is reflected by the appearance of broad-bladed turf grass on a hot summer day, high noon, with low soil moisture levels - the leaf blade will roll upward/inward with the grass taking on a dull, greyish-green appearance. Upon sunrise when moisture levels have returned to normal, the leaf blade will be flat. Lower the heat and concentrate on developing a large, robust root system by practicing sound plant culture. An efficient and effective root system will go a long way to prevent heat induced leaf dessication and leaf margin curling. One short episode of high heat is enough to permanently disable or destroy leaf tissue and cause a general decline in the leaves affected, which often occurs to leaves found at the top of the plant. The damaged leaf (usually) does not fully recover, no matter what you do. Bummer in the summer. One can only look to new growth for indications that the problem has been corrected.

ALL THREE OF THESE FACTORS CAN CREATE Leave curling.

Thanks MidAmber, good stuff
In fact any one of the reasons you mentioned could be true for me.
I have very poor growing environment conditions (compared...)

I'll try to step up the watering and cut down on the nuts, we'll see how it effects.

Yeah, no problem man.... I <3 helping...Other than the leaf tips (which is super minor)

I WOULD SAY YOUR PLANTS LOOK AMAZING! Super healthy, keep up the good work.

Another quick update

Plants are now 32 days into flower

Since last week i've cut down on nuts, and started watering more often...like every two days, instead of four.
I think they are better now, the leaf are still a little bit curved but i think there has been some improvement.

Think i got about a month to go on those babies! :)

Thanks guys!
I'm really appreciating your replies :)

Something bad happened today...
When i came home from work the light was off!! don't know what happened to the timer, it was supposed to be on.

The light was on from 07:00 I left at 9:00 AM and it was on, came home at 6:15 PM and it was off, it's supposed to turn off at 7:00 PM.

It could have been all day without light!
Could this cause any trouble?

Here's a quick update

Two ladies are 45 days into flowering

According to the strain info they are supposed to be ready at 60 days.
You'll be the judge but i think they will have to go further than 60
