It was a rainy week, and my setup draws outdoor air… so much humidity that my little dehumidifier couldn’t keeps up😞. So now it looks like I’m showing the early signs of powdery mildew, which I have attempted to counter with a apple cider vinegar/ water mix to wash the effected leaves. I also adjusting the lst ties to help space the branches for better air flow while removing some outer fan leaves to reduce crowding. The “pot popper” nematodes I added a couple weeks ago are working great for the bugs, but never the less after “spraying/washing” the effected leaves I hit them lightly, with the “safers” again while trying my best not to spray the buds. I’ve turned down exhaust fan to try and hold some dryer air until the weather clears up. I will be keeping a closer eye on the humidity throughout the day and hope I can keep a handle on the mildew.
Week 4- Currently in smaller pots (1/2gal?) Would it be safe for me to transplant into larger pots!(3gal) at this point? Worth the trouble? Would i need to extend the veg?
Hi, absolutely yes I would transplant them now, once transplanted give them a week or so to adjust to their new home before flipping in to flower, hope this helps, happy growing 👍
Why are they starting to turn yellow-ish? Is that due to the bugs I’ve been fighting? Is it the beginning of nutrient lockout? Stress from defoliation perhaps?
Hi mate, as they are all showing the same symptoms roughly the same time. It is logical to assume its not a natural deficiency where they have been underfed. The looks more like a PH or root issue. Magnesium and calcium deficiencies are the first tell tale sign of a lockout. Fully check all PH levels and condition of root zone for slimy or dark roots. Soil is very forgiving but it may be worth adding a tsp/ltr of gypsum/water (PH 6-6.3). This will act as a great PH stabiliser. Also epsom salts will give her Magnesium, adding 1/4 tsp to ltr of water and using as a foliar spray just as lights go out or just as light come on. I hope this helps, good luck and happy growing.
Good luck buddy 👍. Looking healthy. I've used an oil diffuser with rosemary and peppermint oil. Kept my humidity up for me too. They don't like the smell
