I defoliated the lower branches quite a bit at the end of the last week. I tried to keep as many leaves as I could while improving airflow and light penetration. I also kept all the bud sites intact. On the fence about pruning some of the secondary branches since most are getting a lot of light now.
In the meantime, the girl on the left grew nearly 10" in one week, while the right one grew maybe 2". I leveled the girl on the left with some books and now have the light about 14" away from both plants and running at 100% now.
Day 50 - fertigate 5 times - EC: 1215 / pH: 5.8
Day 51 - fertigate 5 times - EC: 1280 / pH: 5.8
Day 52 - fertigate 5 times - EC: 1350 / pH: 5.8
Day 53 - fertigate 5 times - EC: 1230 / pH: 5.7
Day 54 - fertigate 5 times - EC: 1450 / pH: 5.9
Day 55 - fertigate 5 times - EC: 1500 / pH: 5.7
Day 56 - fertigate 5 times - EC: 1660 / pH: 5.6
I think this mottled leaf coloration may be due to slightly high pH or just stress from the repotting over the last couple of weeks.. Most leaves are fine but a few look like this. Any thoughts?
Da an der Pflanze keine anderen Probleme auftreten, wachstum und blattfarbe in Ordnung scheinen, keinerlei nekrotische Flecken oder ähnliches zu erkennen tippe ich da auf etwas anderes🤔 Der PH wert schaut auch gut aus, wenn vielleicht minimal zu niedrig...
Auf einem der Bilder erkennt man, das auch ganz junge Triebe betroffen sind und die Maserung mit dem Blatt zu wachsen scheint. Ohne das Blatt jedoch zu schädigen, daher vermute ich Somaklonale variation.
Das ist eine durch ein Gefäßproblem in den betroffenen Blättern verursachte störung.Diese lässt sich nicht beheben. Es hat jedoch keinerlei Einfluss auf das Wachstum oder die Blütenbildung, wäre nur ein optisches Problem.
So wurde es mir hier im Forum erklärt.
Hatte das "Problem" mit meiner Fat Banana, habe auch Bilder dazu im entsprechenden Tagebuch.
I tried seedling pots only once in my life, but with 40+ plants. Had smallest root system ever, they didn't wanted to go through heavily. Plus in that mini extra pot all soil had loads of salts accumulated. I would rip them before transplantation.
Good luck in new adventure !
@AsNoriu, 40+ plants? Wow! Thanks for the tip. I'm planning on removing the seedlings from the starter bags into larger pots a couple of times until I get them into their final 7+ gallon air pots. I hate the transplanting process because the coco doesn't hold its form too well but I worked out a process that seems to do the job well enough. We'll see how it goes :-)
Hey there,
Thanks a bunch for growing our genetics, and sharing this diary with us!!
The photos look amazing 😍
We hope that it was a nice experience, and that you enjoy the harvest!
Have a good one
