need help with 2.5 week old auto big devil xl

[nextpablo420]

How much maximum light can be used on a plant?
I mean with low stress training and giving 65k to 70k lumens to each cola
If we want a big plant and big yields
Then how to use light and how much and can i use 750watts (true) ?
And how much yeild can i expect with 750 true watts

nextpablo420 - we all have great ambitions in the beginning - and good on you for starting your cannabis adventure - better yet for sharing your story with us. It's a good place to hang out and ask your million questions - so don't hesitate to ask. We have a collective mind - if one asks another or more will answer.

That being said - he is a pic of my tent a few minutes ago - big one is a sativa - Maui - 36 inches above the pot - solo cup entry - and three more just 3 days since emerging (thank the ganja gods for no helmet heads) - Purple Stilton - these I plan on topping and training.


The two with buds will be harvested in 10 - 14 odd days or so - the plants tell you when. And the other 3 will have be almost 3 weeks old.

Ohh man
They are looking awesome..

Please answer my questions

[Canuck147]

I say you can't give them too much light - I used to read up on lumens and stuff as in used to - now I'm sure that if you have your lights at the correct distance from the plants is the main point in this whole experiment. Too close and one can burn them - too far and the plants will stretch for it.

[nextpablo420]

I think the light green color was due to close lights
I readjusted them
I increased the height of light from plants and added a 40 watt led bulb 1 feet away so that the lumens dont fall down

[Daskahn]

Ok so did a little look around and came up with this..

I’m pretty sure these are what your using.. there is a picture of them set up.. notice how close they are to the plants and how many they are using

[nextpablo420]

Thanks

[nextpablo420]

Okay nxt morning
And i thik 1st plant has recovered some
Yellow is turning to green
And second one is doing great

[nextpablo420]

[FunkyButtLovin]

I have to agree, they're looking good.

[Daskahn]

They are growing nicely.. after roots get their “footing” they will start growing rapidly

[nextpablo420]

Okay cool,
Will update soon

[nextpablo420]

Guys due to complete lockdown in india i am not able to get my npk
What can i do now
I have some organic manure though
And also mixed enough in 10 gallons pot
They say 2 hand full in 20 day on top of soil so that it slowly goes down
But i used 2 kg each in 12 gallons pots
And mixed throughly
Npk ratio is in pics
Ratio is like 10:6:4 npk
And it has around 1 gram(1000mg) nitrogen,.6 gram(600mg) phosphorus and .4 grams (400mg) in 100grams manure
I used 2kg means 20gram nitrogen, 12gram phosphorus, 8gram potassium
But it is very slow releasing i guess
And mixed throughly in lots of soil

[nextpablo420]

Right now i am using lights off schedule from 3am to 7 am
Can i change it to 2am to 6am without affecting growth?

[Daskahn]

Honestly if it were me.. and you can’t get the nutes you need stick with the nutes you have and ration them.. give plant half strength nutes is better then over doing it with manure .. I only ever use aged manure not fresh.

on a side note I did have a thought..
mid you use cow manure(which is good for weed after aging it)
would the weed be holy weed?

[Booger789]

Lol that’s going to be lost in translation, but I get the jest of your rube.

[Daskahn]

Sacred weed

[Korn]

Think he was playing off Holy Cow and how cows are worshipped in India. Fertilize with Holy Cow Manure and maybe end up with Holy Weed.

[nextpablo420]

Next morning
And plants are looking like this

Though my tent and ventilation system looks messy
I am using high speed table fan
So its giving lots of air if i put in tent
Thatswhy i have used fan from outside
And also using small exhaust in upper corner of tent

Tell me how much light will get waste if i lefy open this front of tent

Should i open it or close?

They are in last of week 3
Why they are looking small to me

[nextpablo420]

I am learning to have patience

Daskahn yes bro breeder says it takes 9 weeks
You are saying they will not get large
Is there any way to grow them large?
What should i do to grow them large?

[Daskahn]

That’s the thing with strains each one grows differently and most fast finishing autos don’t get large.. they are breed for quantity grow more faster to make the difference up

[nextpablo420]

Okay cool

[nextpablo420]

UPDATE

My planys are doing well
They are dark green in color
They are 23 days old
Lots of leave came they look bushy
Problem is that there height is like 3,4 inches

[Daskahn]

At 23 days I’d say they look pretty good.. I wonder if your conversion is accurate, they look taller then 3-4 inches they look good for 23 days.. this strain is probably just not going to get that tall

[nextpablo420]

23 days+ 3 days germinating from seed
I am sure height is 3,4 inches 🤓

[Canuck147]

Growing nicely - color is great.

[nextpablo420]

UPDATE

4 weeks complete

[Daskahn]

Looking good

[nextpablo420]

Pls check my last post
Some zinc or potassium deficiency

[Daskahn]

Eat a banana.. chop up the peel.. sprinkle it around the pots

[nextpablo420]

Okay cool

[nextpablo420]

Update

6 weeks complete
1st week of flowering

One is looking very good
Other have some problem with upper leaves dropping down
Please tell me why leaves are dropping down

[Daskahn]

Dropping leaves is usually a sign of being over watered

[nextpablo420]

I let it dry fully
Before watering again

[Cali]

In India you should be able to get neem cake correct? That has good amounts of NPK and slot more benefits that I can think of right now top dress your pots with it and water it in. Also rice hulls can be used for aeration. Kelp meal is another good one. Kelp/Alfalfa/neem tea and your plants will be as green as they can possibly get.
