While at first look this grow seemed dialled in, a few problems came to my attention this week.
First of, plant 3 the prettiest! stinkiest! my favourite!!, was found producing BALLS AND BANANAS.. What a bummer, especially at week 5 and bellow the canopy: this is a catastrophe!!!!!! And let me tell you that as she is turning purple and blooming, hunting male flowers under hps depends more on luck than anything else... So luckily *it seems* that only one branch was affected... I tried to dry it but this is not smokable she taste like fresh grass. So I am keeping a real close eye on her, but I am definitely letting her go!!
Plant 2 started to show some P and Mag def. This should not be happening so it had me investigating. Found out pH of water was 8.8. This is too high!! Gotta pH my water for now on. Also soil temps are way too low. At the end of day under lights, temps are on the 16C, probably dropping during night. Nothing much I can do since I don't have anymore Amps and Watts available for a heater. Keeping my finger cross they will be OK.
Plant 1 is turning black.
Smell is settling: all of them have a rich PineSol, hearty, lemony dank smell. At least 3 weeks for everyone.
Thanks for checking it out! You are always of great help and I appreciate your work!!
I've red again the Terms and conditions of GD. Just to be sure I am going to Edit my post, and keep it simple. There is 2 Humboldt seeds retailer: Humboldt Seeds Organization and Humboldt Seed Co. Here it's the 2nd one.
Hurrican blowing outside and the gardener still worry about his plant πππ
Scarry to hear about the damage. Happy to know that you guys are okay enough to be worrying about plants. Actually pressure drops with strong wind. Middle re-inforcement is the way. Excellent thinking in time of crisis.
Hi @sativaman, my "bad" weather is normal seasonal part of living in the tropic. Wiser heads would grow in-season. Hurricane is something else.
We live in the land with hardly any natural disaster. It is warm and food is available all year. Our hotest and coldest temperature differ only by around 10 degree C. Light hours varies only from 13 hours in June and 11 hours in December. Our season is differientiate by torrential rain, light rain, and dry.
@Med_in_Tropic, Thanks Med. You had more than your share of bad weather! The wind was something we've never seen before here.. And it's far from over with climate and storms over the next decades.
@AsNoriu, What a gorgeous couple of plants they where!!
thanks=)
When I start a run as plants grow, I rank them as what I believe are the most promising pheno. Here, I was totally wrong, plant 3 finishing the strongest.
However I will always put the best plant to close the diary!
@Med_in_Tropic, Thanks Med .. you're right: guess she's potent already.. But I had great expectations for her, a bright future ahead.. ππ!!!
I bet she's gonna make it. (and would love a few free seeds π) just doing my best not to disturb her, and see how it goes.
in these times of sharing and learning SativaMan, you are speaking my language Growmie.
Hugely appreciated. These are Calendar Crunchers these Activities! Love it
Merci ~ d
@1Right_Angle, Thank you my friend. These seeds were bought in the People's Republic of Ontario =) I've made a special trip last summer as they were available from some dispensaries in Ottawa. I have one seed left. I will send it to you. I am growing a 4th one at the moment and she is very stinky, and showing some purple colours.
