After cooking the soil and amendments for two weeks this girl was sown and popped in 4 days. Starting out with some vigorous growth, I can tell she's going to be a star. There was a few gnats to begin with but that problem was quickly solved with some sticky traps and a neem oil mixture for any eggs they may have laid. Excited to see how she grows.
A little late on this post, not really sure whats going on with this girl. I started noticing some stunted growth and weird formations with the fan leaves this week and also some curling leaves. I'm really not sure if its pH problems but I have been using pH'd RO water this whole run, any suggestions would much appreciated.
This girl has had a few troubles in the last week with yellowing older growth and she seems to be slightly stunted. Even with her troubles I decided to do some LST by tying her down and to help sort out some problems I added some mycorrhizae. She reacted well to the LST, still seeing the yellowing and seems to be spreading slowly.
What's the cause of the older yellowing leaves with some grey and the slow spread to the newer growth?
I'm between pH problems and or deficiency but not too sure.
Yup I think your spot on looks like a ph issue to me but i can see why you would think it was a defiancy she is rather pale in places. This I would put down to lack of nitrogen. But that would only be second guess to ph problems autos are notorious for not needing much at the start and then exploding in growth in the first few weeks of flower so I wouldnt pump her full of nutes just incase. Id give her half dose of feed when she has dried out and see how you go but this week I'd give her a flush for a week when dry and then re evaluate the situation they dont need much at this stage :)
This week I noticed continued stunted growth and yellow leaves so I stopped LST for this girl defoliated some of the yellowing stunted leaves and I got a new pH pen and tested the runoff and sure enough it was acidic, my old pH pen was off by A LOT. After determining the soil was acidic I also tested the PPMs and they were much higher than other plants in the space with same regimen so I determined there is a nutrient lock out because of the pH. Every watering this week was pH'd higher than normal to get the pH back on track.
As of today I finally got this girl's pH under control and by the looks of the PPMs she's finally eating again. I stopped LST on this girl a little while ago to reduce stress but I kept defoliating. I completely took off all ties at the end of this week so hopefully when this girl hits flowering the stretch isn't too crazy 😅
As you can probably tell this girl hasn't done much growing since the past week, I will continue to monitor her and work with her to diagnose and correct any problems she may have. Interestingly enough she's managing to stay green and slowly grow in height.
I've seem to have found the solutions to this girl's pH problem, way too many nutes in the soil, so I ended up flushing her with a few gallons of the correct pH to get her back on track and did some defoliation. All the stress from incorrect pH and too many nutes definitely caused her veg to be longer but her growth has been a slow constant when it comes to height.
