I have one of those cheap 30x/60x Chinese pieces of **** (see attachment), which is probably what oldfogey got. I'll grab one of the leaves and take some pictures tomorrow. Two more weeks, huh? Damn. I just hope those dark spots don't start appearing on colas. Well, I've learned from my...

I need some advice. I inspected the trichomes and pistils with a 60x loupe and unfortunately the magnification wasn't good enough to determine if the trichomes were clear or milky. Lots of leaves on both plants are getting yellow and falling off. Pics 1 and 2 are two different angles of the...

1 week to go (hypothetically). I ordered a 60x jeweller's loupe to inspect the trichomes and pistiles. Yet another thing I should've done at least a week ago. Oh well! I had a laugh at those cheap chinese digital microscopes that boast a staggering 1600x zoom while it's actually in the...

Just as a side note - I already know what I'm going to grow next. I smoked some Shiva in high school and it was the only strain whose name I learned. I remember asking for the name specifically because I enjoyed it so much (it made me laugh really hard). You have to understand that most people...

Just two weeks until harvest. A lot of the topmost leaves are dry and curling. Is that just the next stage of the problem I described in earlier posts? More importantly, should I try to do anything about it when there's only 14 days to go? Everything else looks fine, including the colas. Lots...

Thanks. The plant on the right would drink like crazy during veg. I definitely had to water it every day with at least 700ml. I just never changed that. So the only real problem is that the spots will limit the amount of light the plant is photosynthesizing? It's just one, by the way. The other...

I used white light for a few minutes just to inspect them and take pictures. It's hard to tell which leaves are getting yellow when everything's awash in HPS light.

I took those today. The light source was a desk lamp with a 4000K LED bulb. I hope they recover because changing soil would SUCK at this point!

I only pruned a few shoots a week before switching to flower. I never really lollipopped them. Again, my only concern is potential shock. Let me sum up how I water them (daily): ~700ml per plant 0,7ml/1L pH+ 0,5ml/1L CalMag 0,3ml/1L Aptus Fulvic Blast (once a week, but only used it 4 times so...

I checked the pH and it's about 6.0, give or take 🤔 Serious talk: should I cut anything? There's still a few weeks to go and there's a lot of shoots that are probably absorbing too much energy. I just don't want to shock the plants. The height from soil to tip is about 120cm / 47". I'd...

Hmmm. I've been supplementing them with CalMag and pH+ daily for most of the grow. I'll up the dosage a bit and see what happens. Also, I'll use just water tomorrow and do a pH test 👍

Week 16 overall, week 4 of flower. I'm starting to wonder how many g's I can get out of this. I have no idea as this is my first grow. I don't know what causes the black spots to appear (pics 3 and 4). Lack of sulfur or potassium? Overwatering?

Who left the fridge open? It's getting frosty in here!

Slooooowly getting there. I'll start using Bloombastic (phosphorus pentoxide, potassium oxide, iron) in a week.

Week 9. Not seeing any problems. The only issue is still the lack of space. As you can see in the pic, I finally put up a net. I'm also "reining in" some of the tallest shoots with small pieces of the net.

Can I shine my phone's flashlight on the plants for a few seconds while the HPS is on? It's hard to tell what color they really are.

Oh! Good to know. Although it started happening pretty much as soon as I switched.

Some of the lowest leaves are getting yellow and falling off. I can only assume that it's because of the topping followed by switching to flowering and the fact that they're getting barely any light. Everything that's about ~10" above soil is fine, though, except for a few small dark spots. I...

It's been a week since topping. I just changed the bulb to HPS and switched to 12/12h. I'm in the process of installing a net. Wish me luck, boys. If you want to read a detailed tutorial on lightproofing wardrobes, check out my thread in the Growroom Setup & Design section.

This post is just for the remaining 3 pictures (I could only attach 10). I'd be grateful if a mod could add those to the OP and delete this post.
