@Stick, @CRiSPrGrow, @OutForRealgrow, @Drtomb, thanks for the replies. I have been following the feed chart from Botanicare. I had some N deficiency earlier on in the grow and managed to get some green back. Do you think that’s why it went necrotic so fast, they had already started 3ish weeks ago. I did a good feed with and added cal mag and pk boost at 1450ppm at 5.7 PH the day you replied. At this point would you suggest to defoliate those dead leaves (they are leathery) and let the light into those buds, or just let it be for a bit? Thanks for your help. Much appreciated.

@SAC87,Hello ! I'm not a defo pro but it could help you to get more light but if the leaves can't do a correct photosynthesis because they are damaged then you will not gain that much (according to me). I would not touch the leaves but it's up to you 👍

CRiSPrGrowcommented6 years ago

@SAC87, i would leave em on as long as possible, many if not most of the leaves are affected you might be cutting off a lot of photosynthesis ability if you take em all off. The plant's going to focus only on getting more flowers at this point anyway.

Yeah unfortunately you're right SAC87, you got a P/K deficiency because the plants have really started to blow up on the flowering so they are sucking all the nutes out. You might want to try addit a mag sulfur boost + P/K to your current feed - that should straighten out the new growth.

Hey there you.mentioned the trichromes being all cloudy, I think as long as you're not seeing mostly clear then its safe to start the flush. Over the next several days you may see some amber show up, but even if you didnt as long as they're milky, have swollen mushroom heads and the pistils have discolored and curled in, youll have a great end product. 👍

@SAC87, definitely, i really want to get this new machine called a levo oil machine, its so cool for doing edibles

SAC87commented6 years ago

@Experimentgreen, I’ll usually try to find a combo that’s works. I also practice making butter, concentrates and hash. That way it gets used up and don’t waste when I’m making stuff with strains I like.

@SAC87, i can completely agree with that, i love seeing beautiful colors, but if the effects arent there i may as well throw it out or donate it to someone else. Im very picky and sensitive with my cannabis, too many strains give me anxious feelings, or negative side effects that I've gotten to where I pick and choose my strains carefully.

@CRiSPrGrow, P/K deficiency with those EC 👉 week 14 EC = 3.1 and this week 2.6 ? SNS17 Ripe is a 1-5-4 Npk nutrient , Pure blend tea is a 0.5-0.5-1 👉 No Pk def to me. Agreed or disagree ?😋

OutForRealcommented6 years ago

@CRiSPrGrow,Good analysis 👍

CRiSPrGrowcommented6 years ago

@OutForReal, i just always assume people's EC meters are broken and listen to the plant 🚀

I run CNS17 and have the same issues and almost identical looking leaves. CNS17 is deficient in providing the right amount of magnesium for sure. Since starting to add MgSO4 to my solutions I have not observed the same deficiency issues. The catch is....if you use Cal Mag you will have toxic levels of calcium and nitrogen...Just my .02

SAC87commented6 years ago

@@themilkman, good to know. I’ve since change to future harvest and adding cal mag and haven't had any significant leaf issues. Thanks tho.

TheIceCreamParlourcommentedweek 206 years ago

Hey great looking grow and congratulations on the harvest. Quick question. You say wet weight but then have all your buds jarred and bagged up with boveda in? Is this how you are going to dry them or will you hang them for a week as normal?

SAC87commented6 years ago

@TheIceCreamParlour,I hung for 3 days, then the sugar leaves started to get crispy. It’s winter where I am and the humidity is about 30%. From the couple of grows I’ve done this is what I’ve found works. Helps to control the speed in which the moisture is released. I dry by leaving the jars open for about 3-5 hours a day then close them up depending on feel.

HighTVcommentedweek 146 years ago

Nice looking plants my friend! Good work so far!

SAC87commented6 years ago

@HighTV, @Dadasgrow, thanks. I’m pretty pleased with the colas, I’m going to try a sog next with a dozen or so and see what happens.

@SAC87 great looking plants! I left for a week and wasn't as lucky (I had to remove about 15% of the leaves) but still she bounced back. Happy growing!

SAC87commented6 years ago

@randyjustice, thanks, happy growing to you too. I lucked out with these, my Jack Herer clones, not so much. 5 went to the garbage.

Congartulation to your Harvest, she was a very nice plant. May the effects stay with you very long

Drtombcommentedweek 156 years ago

I personally never remove leaves unless they are ready to come off on there own. You can tell, just simply lightly tug on the leaf and if it easily comes off it was meant to be. If not leave it, any color in the leaf is the plants stored food, it will use them whenever you aren't supplying enough food. I honestly rarely go over ~900ppm and I'm pushing decent pulls of wieght. I don't use bloom boosters at all. But that's just me.

Stickcommentedweek 156 years ago

Hi @SAC87! My guess is that you're experiencing deficiencies due to a miscalibrated pH-pen, meaning you did water with a wrong pH for a few weeks. In coco, sticking to the ideal pH-range is the key, 5.5~5.9 is what you want, if you're under/over this range you will certainly encounter deficiencies, such as copper and potassium. Give her a good meal with a reasonable amount of blooming nutrient and a correct pH, she should be fine, affected leaves won't recover but you will boost her bud production for the last days before the flush. Hope this will help, keep us up-to-date and happy growing 👊

DadasGrowcommentedweek 116 years ago

Hope this grow goes well for you my friend!
