New to the forums - not to growing [currently PTK]

[Saeteinn]

A little update!
Sitting about Week 13 (Week 14 on Wed) overall and almost Week 3 of flowering. I plan to give her a light defol on Monday.
I've been playing with the light a bit to dial it in to where the plant wants it, and so far she's looking a lot better. Getting more accustomed to paying attention to that now, but it'll pay off in the long run if I can dial it in for this strain.
I threw a couple closeups in there, any comments or advice is appreciated!

Going well.

Moderate mag deficiency. Check pH for too low maybe.

 

[Saeteinn]

Oh? How did you determine that? For my own future reference.
I definitely will check my pH though.

If you look closely at the leaves, the mature ones, you will see a slight yellowing of the leaves between margins/veins.

You know maybe things are okay but I just noticed how DENSE that foliage is there. Maybe it would benefit a bit from a defoliation. Get some air moving. It's growing. It looks healthier but that color is still off (and this is coming from someone that's color blindish) I feel like maybe it needs more?

Question do you have red stems or get red stems when you go into flower? I swear, red stems plague my dreams. I keep getting them and IDK what the cause is.... Maybe LED because my outdoor grow doesn't have a speck of red?

Another little update!

Second defol today at 3 weeks into flowering and about 14 weeks in total. Still growing strong and starting to smell up the tent real good when I open her up!

Before defol:

After defol:

Also exciting is the start of budlets and trichomes! Added a couple closeups below, sorry for the camera quality it's just my phone.

A little update since it's been a while!

Things got a little rough towards the beginning of flower due to that lack of nutes and some heat problems, but we're bouncing back and developing some buds okay. Still lots of sugar on the leaves, and smelling great every time I open the tent!

Day 128 overall, day 52 of flowering. Added a couple close ups for y'all!

Holy crap! I opened picture 2 and thought it was out of focus. Blurry, like when the internet blurs questionable images of ill-advised entertainment and information. But up close, the focus is fine. You have a blurry plant.

 

[Saeteinn]

That honestly gave me such a laugh! Yeah, she went hard with the trichomes, I'm a little scared to see how sticky the next round is with proper care and nutes all the way through!

 

[Bluey]

Stressing these things tends to bring trichome development on earlier than it normally would and a resultant decrease in flower size, that's what I have observed anyway.

Those leaves don't look happy at all........

 

[Saeteinn]

As previously stated, we went almost a couple weeks without nutes at the beginning of flower, so we're still recovering from that. She's looking a lot less rough now, but definitely still not the happiest plant. This upcoming move has really thrown a lot of wrenches in this grow, so at this point I'm happy if I get anything off her.
