I have no idea about growing in your area. But the pure strains you’re discussing are often called “Landrace strains”.

I do my best to take care of the medium and keep a healthy plant. I check my plants pretty often, I don’t do everything I should to be honest but I do the best I can.
Monitoring with sticky traps, trying to reduce the population with a zapper strategy but the one I need to try still is either mosquito bits or mosquito dunks. I can find the dunks but not the bits but they do the same thing from what I’ve researched. They contain a healthy bacteria to the medium and that bacteria feeds on the larval stage of the medium dwelling pests.
Next is environments temperature/humidity and how you accomplish VPD. The plant just tends to want to hit VPD that is good for it if I keep the temperature stable and relatively cool. This is easier than you would think in a cold climate winter. I’m more afraid of the hot temperatures of summer. But the correlation of VPD is that to a point if you have a cooler temperature you will have a wider humidity range that the plant will be pleased with to transpire. Most of the time I kept the plant around 19-21C or 66.2-69.8F and the plants in the area if checked daily and kept watered appropriately have kept VPD in check.
I wanted to run a bunch of healthy herbs beside the Cannabis plants to repel any local pests or pests that may target Cannabis. Most of them died or had severe issues when I had the Tent issues. I need to run some new healthy herbs once I move to run as interference on pests once I get a restart done after this full run goes through. You should look up if they will compete and pot in their own pots accordingly if you plan to do this.
There are also sprays for different things but I’m wary of these with Autos because they generally start showing before much really develops so there are blurred lines on all that with an Auto. I’d definitely be more inclined to use them for a photoperiod I was keeping in veg though.
I’d rather do as @scottyreal advises on the show and keep the plant as healthy as possible. I’ve run a limited plant count but I’ve tried to learn as much as possible from my mistakes. Of course we can always do better next time or in the future.

Far red is commonly built into lights.
IR and UV can be built in but it’s more likely that IR is built into the lights and will more than likely cause tent heating issues for you.
You’re better off with the UV and IR as separate units so if the IR needs it can be staggered to prevent overheating.
The UV can be used appropriately for a tiny bit before/after lights out. Staged usage of a week on/week off.

Yeah. I am not planning on moving above plant limits or anything like that. I plan on getting a medical growing license before I even work at any of this for personal reasons.

Certain mixes can run too hot, I’ve personally not had it happen.
The key is in research and listening to what other growers have tried. They will tell you what will run too hot as they have tried it.
Generally you follow a feeding schedule so you don’t give too much nutrients at a time. Its all based on successfully following a plan. But if you know there is a *TON* of fertilizer in the mix you went with… The solution would be just to not fertilize for the first few weeks to a month so the seedling has time to grow before it needs the nutrient doses.
-
Lets start with what it is *not*.
Its not light burn, How do I know? There are leaves showing signs of deficiency beside ones that have none. If it was too much light then it would be centralized *where* there is too much light and not scattered throughout the plant.
It also does *NOT* appear to be a nitrogen deficiency and the reason being is nitrogen is a mobile nutrient and this would start at the bottom of the plant and move upward.
This looks like it fits in the *Immobile* nutrient deficiency list since it appears to have started at the top of the plant and worked its way *DOWN* as there is very little deficiency and rusting on the edges of the leaves.
But before deficiency talk… I think we need to know more about the environment the plant is growing in. What are your temps and humidity, How is your watering schedule?

I agree with the keep it simple until you know your grow. You can easily get caught up thinking you need a bunch of gear then never touching half of it. But if you keep it simple you will know what to add to your grow because that thing you needed to add… Not having it caused an issue, But that other thing you didn’t have? You would never have used.
-
Just hanging with a fungi eh?
-
Yup. They work good as far as I know. I’ve not had a harvest with them though.
-
Depends on the seeds you choose for the rate of return.
-
I think you should get a working setup and *see* what you need from there. Are your buds on the bottom small? Add some inter-canopy lighting to fix it.
After you’ve got a little more experience then grabbing these lights and stuff might be beneficial when you can say to yourself… I think I would benefit from X or Y in this way.
You should always buy based on your grow and what you think is needed from the experience growing. Trying to optimize and dial in before you’ve experienced what your environment is providing may cause you to buy things you don’t need and will never use.

People have done the testing. They are going with these numbers due to the scientific testing done. If I remember correctly the number was 13.5 hours is the actual split time where the plant won’t flip to flower.
-
Good info. Thanks for the breakdown of it.
-
That is why I was asking for more context 😉 I said right in my post that it leads to this but more context may change the answer.
Diagnosing plants is not straight forward that is for sure! That is why I stick with the tried and true Gaia Green method. I kind of know if I have any real deficiencies I’m screwed because I don’t have the nutrients to add individually anyways.

The DEA is allowing Anti-Cannabis Petitioners a voice but not the same voice for Pro-Cannabis Petitioners.
You’re getting shafted and they are trying to deny medical usage completely.
People hate on Edge as a browser but it will read pages to you. That makes it easier for me to read along and absorb the information on text only pages.
