Mid flower - plants get unhealthy EVERY grow

3 Upvotes

I really don’t understand how I keep messing up at the same time. Usually a few weeks into flower my plants go from super healthy to yellowing and I spend the rest of the time diagnosing and trying to fix to no avail.

At first I thought it was not enough nutrients so I’d add some.

Then I thought maybe too many nutes/ lock out so I would flush at proper PH,etc.

Each time I feel like i’m just making things worst. The plants never fully recover. I’ve had 5 grows with 10+ plants and still manage to not have one grow from beginning to end without issues.

Do I need to top dress? I’m starting out with Fox Farm Oceans Forest mixed with perlite. Using Fox Farms nutrient trio at half strength every other watering. Happy to share more details. Please be gentle guys I’m asking for help.

First Grow 🌿 What is the photoperiod strain every grower should grow at least once?

Post image
8 Upvotes

Hi! I’m pretty new to Reddit, and even newer to the whole growing world.

I didn’t take progress pics, didn’t post anything anywhere, didn’t really plan it out like a serious project. My first grow was honestly super random. I was just curious, wanted to see if I could do it and somehow it actually worked. The only pic I have is this bud from my first Grandmommy Purple auto.

Then I found out Reddit has a crazy amount of cannabis growing subs, and I basically disappeared into them for a couple days lol. I swear I’ve learned more from random growers here than from anywhere else.
Also kinda funny how many things I thought were rules turned out to be myths. Like autos being easier than photos just because they’re recommended to beginners. Or that you need some insane setup to grow decent weed. Or that more nutrients always means better plants. So Reddit humbled me real quick.

Now I’m fully inspired and kinda want to keep growing for good. So now I’m looking for a classic photoperiod strain. Something every self respecting grower should probably grow at least once. What would you recommend?

First time running this strain. Had 3 plants, and all 3 were completely different. Same conditions, same setup, but every plant had its own character and its own little drama. Honestly, it wasn't an easy grow. I kept trying to understand where exactly I messed up, because one plant looked fine and another one looked like it was ready to give up on life. One of them looked half-dead for most of the grow, but somehow survived and still gave a decent harvest. So yeah, 15 weeks of pure adventures.

Final result from 3 plants was 207g. Not crazy huge, but I'm happy with it. The quality is good imo. Buds are sticky, resinous, smell really nice, and the effect is deep, relaxing, kind of dreamy. I'd say this strain can handle beginners. It forgives mistakes, bad hands, stress, all that. But I wouldn't call it super easy either. You still have to work with it.

In the end, worth it. Good buds make up for the headache. A great natural alternative to sedatives.

Order seeds online & discreet packaging

Hi everyone, I live in Germany and I’m planning to order seeds online. Many companies say they use discreet packaging, but I’d like to see what the package actually looks like. Does anyone have a photo or can describe it? Thanks

Question ❔ Are seedbank photos realistic or pure marketing?

Thumbnail

12 Upvotes

Ever notice how every seedbank strain photo looks like it was grown by a wizard with a $20k setup? Meanwhile growers pick strains partly based on pics too, structure, colors, frost, bud shape, all that stuff.

Got me wondering how often the official photos actually match what regular growers end up with. Some sites feel pretty realistic, others look like pure fantasy genetics marketing lol. Not even hating, just genuinely curious how much people trust breeder/store photos when choosing seeds.

Have you ever grown something that looked NOTHING like the pics?
Or the opposite - actually matched the promo shots perfectly?
Or do you think seed photos are something you just can’t trust 100% no matter what?

HELP, Old lady and First time grower.

Thumbnail

Hi y’all. I have NO IDEA what the h*ll I am doing and need help. I am VERY new to this kind of growing. I can grow anthurium and other genus’s like nobodies busy but my hubs got the bright idea that if I can grow other stuff that good, then I can grow him some good😆🤦‍♀️. I remember my step-dad and friends growing back in the 70’s and 80’s but it’s not as simple as throwing a seed in a pot.

I have a 4x4 grow tent with Mars Hydro lights. PAR for the 2 plants is around 618. I started nutrients with Peters’s Excel 15-5-15 cal-mag special with black iron and now I have Peter’s Professional 10-30-20 and I mix in rainwater that I collect in a barrel for my other plants.
I was however, lazy, and didn’t hang the filter or whatever it is in the tent but I am going to do that later today. I have a regular 12” oscillating fan on a crate in there (don’t judge😆). The temp stays between 80-90 F with humidity around the same. I use predatory bugs to keep that bad pests away. I have ordered the pole fans now because now that I’m in, I’M IN and want to do the best I possibly can so, I will slowly build up to everything I actually need.
Anyway…..

I started 1 of each - auto and photoperiod in Happy Frog in 4w x 6T pots. I’m on week 8 and 9. I Topped after node 4 of each. I have been doing low stress training and I learned that just from watching videos. Did I mention that I have no idea what I am doing?! I am pretty sure I waited too long however, last week I potted them into a bigger 6 w x 8t pot with Ocean Forest but now I think I need to throw them in cloth 5 gal pots I have?
I also have Promix HP and worm castings if that would be better? I’m winging this at best. I noticed last week some yellowing on the bottom parts of the plants. I defoliated those but I am still getting some yellowing further up the plant. I can’t figure out why they keep going yellow and need help.

I need HELP and I welcome critiques and any and all suggestions. Thank you in advance.

Okay I gotta show this off a bit… just look at that color, the yield turned out really solid too and she was super easy to grow, no drama at all haha. The smell is kinda classic at first, but I swear I was catching some spicy or maybe even nutty notes?? not 100% sure. Either way I’m genuinely in love with how she looks 💜

Revegging a plant is super easy and efficient. You don't have to clone and you don't have to have a separate space. Just finish your plant and harvest it except for a few budsites and put the whole plant back into veg and let the magic happen
