orange spots on lower leaves.
I think spots are from Neem Oil spray, but I gave it some CalMag in case it's nitrogen deficiency.
the Cindys are dramatic bbys, and get extreme leaf droop quickly when they are about to need a watering.
transplanted to 15gal mesh pots mid-week. better late than never.
lots of changes in the last week!
went from droopy leaves in a too small pot, to thriving in giant air pots and fresh live soil!
now topped and have begun manifold training
stoked for my first solo grow!
costructive input is welcome 😊💫
regrowth finally back to normal after being topped.
took longer than I thought, but they look good.
gave them all another chop.
goal is 8 main colas each, so if I'm understanding correctly, this is my last big topping.
pretty excited.
so far so good 👍
Wednesday
regrowth is coming in.
the training is going well. the Cindy99s seem to take training quite well, but do recover a bit slower than I I expected from trimmings. that was the last chop, so it's all growth from here
I cloned the growth I removed from mainlining, and it seems to be working? time will tell
enjoying my first solo grow a lot :)
thanks for looking
Thursday
training
Friday
training
Saturday
I'm on vacation for the first time in a long time, so of course I rearranged my entire grow room, and damn, it's so nice and functional now
also, I moved the plants into the veg tent (where they should have been anyway) and setup the flowering tent for later
learned a lot today just by moving cords and whatnot. so organized and satisfying.
Sunday
plants have slow growth and show the subtlest signs of light burn. I realized I had the lamps at max intensity still (I didn't know how to turn them down, and totally forgot to look it up 😅)
quick YouTube search, and it was an easy fix of course.
downloaded an app called Photone.
set the lights to about 400PPFD.
I can feel them happier already.
Thursday
looks pretty good, I think
I'm slowly increasing the lighting over the next few days then switching to Flower.
Neem bath and watering tonight is the plan after lights out.
If anyone knows why my 1 plant has weird colors on new growth, help is welcome:)
more to come
Sunday
Neem bath
Watering
PH down
Monday
much better looking and better colour already
Tuesday
more training to even out the 8 colas a bit before Flower
I'm gonna push 1 more week of veg before switching 🤷♀️
thanks for reading
soooo I had a physical injury and the plants have just been going for the last 5 weeks 😬
purple tips on some
most of them are different sizes 😅
but individually the mainlining still looks good
they need some defoliation, neem and to be switched into flower asap
hopefully I can figure out the new lamps today, but I may just do it with the existing lamps and tent
not going as planned, but im doing my best with my current circumstances
💫
welllllllllll
as you can see, the plants have withstood some hard times during my injury/absence.
they're still *alive* but after me being out for 5 weeks, and giving them minimal care, they're looking a bit rough.
last week was my first giving then any attention. since then, I changed to 12-12 lighting, removed yellow foliage, and not much else.
took these photos before a big watering. I'm about to install a scrog.
even if I hit a rough patch, my mainlining still looks pretty good 😎
I think its toooo much nutrients from the live soil, and cold/dry conditions for too long. but someone else said it's lacking nutes?
(I was sick, and they were a bit neglected for a bit.. )
using live soil, like I said
more info in my diary
thanks so much for any input 😊
Hey Growmie,
She's certainly not lacking nutes, it seems as if she has nutrient burn, those tips being burnt is an immediate giveaway. The conditions are going to be the blame for that, a low humidity level causes plants to drink more resulting in “nutrient burn”, which gives the leaves tips a yellow or burnt color. Hopefully, this was helpful, and remember "Happy Growing" and "Free your mind one puff at a time".
😩 someone robbed my house and
took all the growing equipment.
they left the plants.
so yah.
0 hrs of light
no tent
no humidity control.
etc.
this should be interesting.
this has been such a dramatic grow for reasons I never would have guessed.
um, so yah
since last weeks robbery, I've moved the plants out of pure darkness and into my south facing window, as per recommended by another member here.
I ordered new lamps.
(better than my previous ones 👑)
my friend is letting me borrow her old tent.
and I'll figure out the rest, but for now here they are.
🤠
😁😁😁
we are back!
my brand new lamp is in! Mars Hydro 450W
my friend's tent is here! and it's 1 foot larger than my previous one, so my very oversized plants have plenty of room to grow!
very happy.
I was stoned and accidentally double watered one of the plants, but at this point, they've all proven to be resilient to my bullshit, so I'm not worried.
lamps are set to about 65% capacity atm.
one final neem oil bath last night.
we've overcome a lot.
I have a few clones going so I can try this strain again without all the personal hardships hopefully.
overall, feels good this week having my girls back in a good (actually better!) space.
several days later,
I've done some defoliating. Nothing major at all. just some lower leaves that didn't get any light/ were yellow.
my new replacement humidifier came in. it's awesome, and the fill lasts 2 days vs my previous which was empty before my work day was over.
the plants look incredible after being under these new and improved conditions.
overall, it's been a rough go, but I'm coming out on top in the end 💪🌱🌬️
thanks for reading
should I add nutes during flowering stage while using a Live Soil blend if
the blend was originally too strong for this strain and burned the leaf tops during veg?
what would you do?
If the soil burned the tips give it some times before adding anything else.
Allow it to use up the rest of the nutrients in the live blend and then top dress with your nutrients of choice.
Just be aware amendments like dr.earth or gaia green take time to break down vs liquid feed that is readily available.
Keep up small feeds of calmg if your mix has a good chuck of coir in it.
PH will also be an issue when mixing in amendments and using liquid nutrients.
so fair your grows looking good. keep it up.
Good Luck!
Hey, you grow looks super healthy, you'd be mad to try add anything to it other than micro enzymes or a fungi with water and with it being living soil there isn't even a need for it. With nute packed soil you get about 4-8 wks of nutes depending if she's a PP/auto. If u look at my TDA I added nutes to it and nearly wrote her off by doing so. Your grow looks super nice, healthy bushy. When you start seeing mobile nute defs (marco nutes) like NPK will get sucked out of old growth to support new growth you'll know then when you need to add nutes. But you don't even need to let it get to that. And for it bring to strong, idk about that. You must not of added any micro enzymes or fungi to help break down nutes? I used 60% high grade compost and then 40% high grade npk cacti plant mix, and never got 1 burnt tip caused I used micro enzymes with every watering.
I tried adding nutes with a 50% compost and rest coco and even that was still too much for nutes. But when using a pre loaded soil you need to mix it with an ineart sub or have top micro enzymes/fungi to help nute uptake.
Good luck.
is this how my leaves should be looking during this stage of flower? (it's watering day today)
I know yellowing is normal
I'm just super super new at this, and you are always so helpful 😁
thank you again
It looks like this is the normal yellowing you will see when you decrease the nitrogen and your nutrients during the flower phase. The leafs are simply using up all the energy that is stored in them. You will see other leafs soon yellow and maybe even change to other colors like purple, and then fall off. The plants look great!
This is a normal behavior at the end of the flower period, i guess you are already started to flush right? The oldest leaves just start to fall of, but the rest is still nice and green, dont worry about nothing 👌😁
Please dont forget to mark my answer as solution if you think it helped you 👌😁
