greatgreenstuff Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 Hi guys, hopefully this is the right place to post. This is my first grow, but I’ve been a long time lurker. Im growing 2 GHS Jack Herers in a stealth cupboard in my shed under 200Watts of Samsung 3000k strips. Im not massively happy with how they are turning out. They were in veg for 6 weeks and both topped twice, they are now 12 weeks into flower and to my eye still don’t look ready. I know they definitely could have been in veg for longer but I was worried about them overwhelming my short grow space. Just looking for any advice really, should I leave them longer? Will they fatten up anymore? Or should I cut and move on to my next grow? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I’m guessing something has not gone well, I’ve been using plant magic organic nutes and sticking to their chart. The one thing I can think of is night time temperatures of which I was struggling for a while until I added a better bar heater, it would regularly drop to 15C at night and 10C on colder nights. Other than that I don’t know, I’ve been watering every few days, trying not to over water. Just hope the next grow goes better..haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GasHouseGrower Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 That’ll be the problem the cold, more than likely stopped nutrient uptake and slowed them right down. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you checked the trichs with a magnifying glass? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I figured as much, not too bummed as it’s a mistake I won’t make again, got my heating setup sorted the other week and now a consistent 19-20C lights off so too late for this grow but ready for the next! 5 minutes ago, btk1977 said: Those temps definitely won't have done them any favours and if they had to deal with it for a while then it will have stunted their development. Have you checked the trichs with a magnifying glass? No I haven’t, I’ve zoomed in on a picture I took up close but wasn’t great, they look mainly clear I think... I’ll get hold of one of those jewellers things as I think that’ll be handy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
btk1977 Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 @greatgreenstuff Yeh definitely worth getting one. As well as the jewellers loops (which do the trick tbf) you can get usb microscopes fairly cheaply which make taking photos of the magnified trichs a lot easier. Someone was posting about them (might have been a wireless version) in the last couple of weeks and they seemed really good but can't remember the poster or the thread I'm afraid. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im sure 'the bay' will provide a host of different options, which i will be sure to post the pictures from to this thread.. So should I continue feeding my girls? Anything I can do to improve the chances of a better harvest from these clearly stunted plants? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
btk1977 Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 @greatgreenstuff yes I'd definitely keep feeding for now. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GasHouseGrower Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 19-20c is still a little low, try and get it up a couple degrees if you can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should I match my very consistent day temp of 23C ? Or should that be higher as well? I had it 25-26C during veg here are some close ups I just took.. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GasHouseGrower Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 I aim for around 26c but as long as you don’t drop below 22c it should be fine 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
