- part of the daily routine is misting fulvic acid at lites-out (when possible)
- fed yesterday a.m., on the 12th she moves up to a Litre of Notes
- going to keep it real simple the next few weeks; begin Foliar Misting routine, methodically increase nutrient volumes and Green Planet nutes involved, soil amendment planned for next week and increasing the light strength gradually
- comfy with these 7gal / 26L flex pots. Might have found the perfect “Tweener”
- going to make the move over to Fish Shit, from RapidStart for both of the photo-periods in this Tent…
Organically driven, (that sold me) can anybody comment on using F.S. Pros or Cons
- consider it a daily event at this step, misting fulvic acid onto the plant in a foliar application. It stops 3 weeks into flower. daily, as close to lights out as possible

- fed 1.25L of H2o /Nutes

- FYI speaking of roots, Black Willie is an updated version of the Famous Willie Nelson strain. This original Willie Nelson strain featured a black vietnamese landrace strain and Willie’s secret strain.
BLACK WILLIE was made by crossing WNelson, back with the Original black vietnamese.
From the looks of Reeferman Genetics, its a hugely successful Landrace hybrid !!!!
- Ha, Nothing to do with genitals. Cheers

-last day of week 2
Can anybody help me ID what is happening to these Fan leaves, at the top of my Black Willie.
Leaf temp is 1c cooler than the room. Leaf 22c, room 23c, rh%55, lite distance 45cm.
The leaf is showing that its folding like a canoe. Always thought that was signs of “ “too hot”.
@sailormoonflowers, Thanks for looking I really appreciate your words.
Cool Place thats for sure and I still get help from all directions as well.
Heres to our Success
When leafs curl inwards like that it is to shut down photosynthesis. We refer to it as tacoing, Too much PAR on the plants is the exact cause of that. Using a thermal laser temp gun like the fluke 62 max and a PAR meter will help you achieve the most optimal position for your lights in relation to the plants.
@Green_Knight, Thanks for that information. Greatly appreciated. There was no obvious Stoppage of any growing or degradation of conditions, but I was nervous. Baby steps and research, people like yourself help keep my Plants together.
Thanks for stepping in
@LegacyMarketFarm,
My Kwazulu (s) are very pronounced in orienting their fan leaves in a "v" configuration when offered copious light.
Given that they collectively orient themselves toward the light source, my experience is that the plant is maximizing it's light exposure.
This is what I suspect most people including myself would call "praying".
On the flip side I have other plants that will curl leaves down and inwards along both the lateral & longitudinal axis simultaneously, under the same exact lighting conditions as the Kwazulu.
Needless to say, if the plant is otherwise healthy and thriving, I would not start making any dramatic change.
Dialling back the light intensity seems to be a safe first step, toward narrowing the possibilities.
@LegacyMarketFarm, that is the exact problem I was facing. BUT, I was monitoring the leaf temp vs the room, and the leaf temp was 2 degrees C cooler. I was also running a pretty cool room. Lights had been dimmed. Certainly a unique scenario with this Strain. Which was also a tad further away from the light, than the pine tar… lets call her sensitive, for the future.
Cheers bro
