Tough week, was sure my plants just was overwatered, but turned out it was nute lockout. Ph in soil was good as i tested it 2 days ago. I flushed them all 3 today and they recovered very good, looks hapy and healthy now. I could not understand that i fed too much as i have not been feeding much at all. And not even half the regular dose from charts. I know now that i need a EC pen rapidly. I have altso highten my lights giving them about 450-500 ppfd at top canopy, as i was not 100% sure if i was using too much lights. Think im gonna give them about 500-600 ppfd later on today, as the lights were not the issue here. i got a pre flower girl next to those 3 in 2 week flower, if i can have more than 500-600 ppfd at this stage, let me know. Bumped up PPFD to 600-700 for the girls, lets see how they like it.
08.06.22 - Today 1 of the girls seem sick again, growth stopped, seems like its going down if i dont find out what the problem is. Im waiting on TDS/EC Pen to arrive, so cant meassure anything. Should i flush her again? Did it 3 days ago and the perked up, but she started to show signs of nitro burn, any suggestions?
It seems like i have a nitrogen burn on my plant again, cant see how because she perked up good with the other 2 after i flushed them 3 days ago. She started turning greener and yellow tips became abit bigger. She stopped growing and looks sick. Any suggestions?
Hey growmie
she looks stressed.
wait until the soil dries out a bit and then give your plants a good dose of b vitamins and enzymes, CalMag.
you have to adjust the ph value.
it looks like she's out of range.
Ph should be around 6.0 - 6.2 at this stage.
And when feeding give the half of the recommended dose.
1 -2 weeks
Wish you good luck buddy
09.06.22 - 3rd week of flower is here, 6 weeks from seeds. Had some problems with 1 of the ladies now getting oxygen to the roots becuase i had to flush her twice in a couple of days. But with good help and guidance she made it 1 week closer to chop day!
10.06.22 - Did some LST last night and i think i might need to do another round tonight! Amazing grow now, all girls looking healthy!
11.06.22 - Not much to do today, leaf tucked some on the morning and about 12 hours after than. They have not been growing so much this week. Hopefully they will start stretching soon:)
12.06.22 - They dont require much training at this moment, just did some minor leaf tucking.
13.06.22 - Gave Sofie and Gerd a feeding today with the sollution listed. Elise is still recovering from overwatering.
14.06.22 - Today Elise really bursting out with white hairs, and her flowers are sticky and she smells real good now:)
15.06.22 - Last day of week 3 in flower! Tucked some leafs and tied down a couple of branches on Sofie, i guess il just keep the main cola down on all 3 from now on and let the rest grow as vertically, think the structure is ok for a first timer:)
16.06.22 - Leaf tucked them all, lowered lights to 70cm above top-canopy on 100%. PPFD is now 650-700, Want to see how much they can handle:)
17.06.22 - Finally decided to feed the one who have been overwatered for some time now as she had dried up enough. I Watered with 4L water mixed with sollutions descriped in diary this week, funny thing is that i just got my EC pen, and it measured amazingly 1670ppm in my 1L runoff with a ph of 6.2, My feed is only 620 ppm and 6.5 ph. Guess she had alot stored up:) Did the same feed on the other girls,
Sofie had 3,5L feed with 0.5L runoff. Runoff values : ppm - 1150, ph - 6.3
Gerd had 3.5L feed with 0.5L runoff. Runoff values : ppm - 1450, ph - 6.0
20.06.22 - Been away for a couple of days, came back just in time to feed Elise and Gerd. Had such high ppm from runoff last feed, so i decided to down it to 300ppm. and PH 6.5.
Runoff Elise ppm was 1130. 3,5L feed with 0.9L runoff.
Runoff Gerd ppm was 1050, 6L feed with 1,5L runoff,.
Besides this feed, they look and smell good! Untied their LST strings aswell today.
21.06.22 - Increased lights from 650-700 to ppfd 700-750.
22.06.22 - Gave Sofie a feed today. She started to get these rust spots so i made her a own mix. 0.5ml/l b-52, 1ml/L calmag, 0.7ml/L plagron bloom, 0.4ml/l sensation with PH 6.3, Ppm 500. I just hope this is not too much as i forgot about the high ppm on my girls when i fed her that. Had a 3,5L feed with 0.8L runoff. Runoff Ppm was 1100. Did not have hydrogen peroxid for this mix. Will buy Plagron Zym soon. Other then that it seems like the girls are done growing in height and focusing more on buds!
Got these rust spots on 1 of my girls. Cant rub it off so guess its not fungus. It seems like cal mag deficiencies. Watered her yesterday with 500ppm and 6.3 ph. Runoff was 1100 ppm. All help is appreciated.
You have nutrient lockout from a salt buildup in your medium. Stick with just PH water until you get your PPM's back to around 100 less of what you feel they need( My guess is 800ppm so water until 700). Then start with 800PPM and see what your runoff is.
When feeding you want to always keep your PPM's in within 100 of PPM going out or you will start to get a buildup. I would not do a drastic flush all at once as it can cause more harm then good(**Unless you see a drastic decline in health).
A flush over time should be all you need to get back on track.
It will most likely take a week or more to get things back to normal numbers and a few weeks to stop seeing symptom's.
You will notice when you near harvest she almost stop's eating and your required ppm's will drop dramatically.
Good luck and Happy Growing
24.06.22 - Decided to do a full flush on Sofie as her rust spots were moving fast across the leaves. I used 27L water on this flush, ph 6.5 and mixed in 7.5ml/L 3% peroxid to help roots recover faster. Got her down to 100 ppm, or 140 excluding the water ppm on 40 = 100 if i understand this right. I also gave her a small fed after with 0.3ml/l calmag, green sens, b-52, 0.4ml/L plagron bloom and 7.5ml/L peroxid with 4L water. runoff was 3.7L ppm 200. gonna pay some cose attention to her in the next days, fingers crossed she recovers without any problems!!
-Also moves lights away 65 cm from canopy tops. with around 700-735 ppfd around the tops.
27.06.22 - Watered Gerd with 4,5L, ph 6.5, 500ppm. Runoff 1,6L and 1050 ppm.
- Elise 4,0L, 500ppm, ph 6.5. Runoff 1,2L, ppm 1050
28.06.22 - Cal mag spots have stopped spreading on Sofie now, I have been using cal mag as a foliar spray because i flushed her good 4 days ago. Mixed 1ml/ cal/mag with ph water 6.5.
29.06.22 - Checked in on them earlier and got some pics outside the tent, ooking frosty and good. Tried managing the microscope too but i have to finish that another day. Seems like Elise have mostly cloudy, seems real early so will check more later.
30.06.22 - Started week 6 of flower with a pre water with water and hydrogen peroxide, ph 6.3 to see how much each have used out of their last feed, and how much i should dose my next feed. Runoff ppm: Gerd - 970 / Sofie - 720 / Elise - 600. gonna throw a 6-700ppm solution at Elise and Sofie, Gerd will probably get a 4-500ppm solution. Elise is 20cm now, and the 2 others are 18cm. Still 700-750 ppfd around canopy tops.
1.06.22 - They are doing good, not much happening, tried gettng some pics of trichomes with a microscope but i have to practise that shit more, will post the best pictures i got and hopefully it will be better next time!
03.06.22 - gave them some ph 6.2 water with nutes, Elise diluted 604 ppm, runoff ppm 700. Gerd got ph 6.2water + peroxide. Runoff was 640 ppm. Will need to add nutes next time. Sofie i gave the dose on diary , pH 6,2, ppm 800. Runoff 1040 ppm.har about 20% runoff on all. Ppfd is still at 730 around canopy tops.
04.06.22 - Got some high humidity issues because of the weather + i watered all 4 recently. I turned the AC on heat to dry out and raise the temp so the vpd is fine. Currently 27 celsius and 69% humidity, will try to stay on 29 temp and 65% humidity to hit that 1.40 vpd.
07.07.22 - The smell is now intense, having my carbon filter running on full now. Still 700-750 ppfd around canopy tops. Fed Gerd and Elise with the sollution listet for this week. with 5L each, ph 6.3 ppm 640. Had 1L runoff on both my girls. runoff ppm Elise : 1140. Gerd : 960. Had a runoff on elise 4 days ago last time with just water on 700, seems like she is not eating more then 50 ppm a day. Need to check into this.
Edit - It seems that i have the wrong calc on the ppm, and she seems fine, so il just water her with Ph 6.3 water untill her untill her ppm is below 4-500 ppm because of her size.
08.07.22 - Humidity is high again, so temp is moved from 22-23 with humidity 45-50 % to 25-26 and about 55-60 % humidity. Have to raise temps with AC to dry out the humidity i got on about 80% with tent closed. Altso did not have much time in the morning when i notced this before lights out. So i just turned the timer on lights off, rather want a 24h light schedual for a couple of days, instead of 80%+ humidity with low temps. Correct me if im wrong, please!:)
10.07.22 - Humidity is now back to normal, going to reinstate the 18/6 again today. ppfd is still 700-750 around canopy tops, I cant manage to keep my hand still long enough to take pics of trichomes, Will invest in a smartphone device that can zoom and take pics very soon.
11.07.22 - Watered Elise with 5L water and 1ml/L hydrogen peroxide, PH 6.3, ppm 50. Runoff : 1L, ppm - 830.
12.07.22 - The smell was getting too intense, reeked in the whole appartment, and even outside the front door. And my 4 inch carbon filter and fan was running full speed. I just pray that my neighbors are allergic to pollen or something. I was afraid of this to happen, so i got myself a upgraded version some weeks ago, 6inch carbon filter set from Spider Farmer! I got it up today, and used some odour block to help rinse the air in the other rooms. Im running it at lowest now and it is better than the smaller one when it is at full speed:)
14.07.22 (D70) - I watered gerd and sofie yesterday with water ph 6.1 ppm: 54, 5.5L each with 1 ml/L plagron enzymes. runoff 1,2L on both. Gerd ppm runoff: 607. Sofie ppm runoff: 411.
I got a new microscope now that is good enough to take pics of the trichomes. I got a few pics when i had to refill the humidifier, but had to close it as the smell is so intense, i am afraid my neighboors will smell it. so i wil only open at niight from now on and use a odour block from RQS to clear the smell in the apartment and replace it with a faint strawberry scent!:) Will add more close ups tonight^^
15.07.22 (D71) - Tried taking some more pics of the trichomes, need to practise this new device some more to get better pictures, but i can only do shit at night now because of the smell. Watered Elise with 4,5L Water just added pure zym from plagron. ppm 54, PH 6.1. Runoff 0.9L, ppm 652, PH 6.6. Most of the pics are from Elise and some from Gerd. I will check Sofie later but Elise seems to be most mature of them all.
16.07.22 (D72) - Seems like they are making the buds fatter at this stage! Guess I am in the last flowering stage with these girls:)
17.07.22 (D73) - Got some more pictures of the trichomes:) Think i will start the flush before harvest now, as i see most milky on all 3 girls top colas.
18.07.22 (D74) - I noticed Elise calyxes has swollen and sprouting out alot of new pistils. I read that this can be a sign of maturity or hermies, i cant see any seeds so i guess she is ripening up!:)
19.07.22 (D75) - Today i watered Gerd, Elise and Sofie. Sofie got a 5L, PH 6.4, 750 ppm feed.. Runoff was 1,2L, Ph 6.5, ppm 834. I gave the same solution to Gerd and Elise but i diluted it 1:2, got 4,5L, PH 6.3, ppm 410 to Gerd and Elise. Runoff Gerd 0.8, PH 6.4, ppm 684. Runoff Elise 0.8L, PH 6.4, ppm 980. ppfd is still 700-750. High temps today, but managed to controll the humidity to be vpd approved for flower stage.
22.07.22 (D78) - Watered Elise with 5L, ph 6.2, ppm: 40, with 1ml/l enzymes. Runoff ppm 558, ph 6.6, 1.5L. She seems to grow some large calyxes now! and Sofie and Gerd are slowly following with the swelling. I really enjoy following this ripening prosess!:)
23.07.22 (D79) - Tried to get some pics of the trichomes from Gerd and Sofie now, they seem to be mostly cloudy:)
Gave Gerd and Sofie a watering with ph 6.4, ppm 40, 1 ml/l Pure Zym. Gerd 6L water, Runoff: 1,7l, ppm 386, ph 6.7.
Sofie 6L water, runoff: 2l, 431 ppm, ph 6.7.
25.07.22 (D81) - Having high humidity trouble because of some rainy weather that is keep pouring down, so i raised temps to get correct vpd.
26.07.22 (D82) - Got some trichome pics from Elise today. She seem to be rather close to where i want her, will flush her tomorrow and choose a night for harvest!:)
Harvest flushed Elise from 450ppm to 250 ppm. With 16L water, ph 6.4, 1ml/l hydrogen peroxide.
30.07.22 (D86) - Starting the harveset flush on Sofie, and Gerd just gets normal water the last 7.14 days now. ( Read that harvest fush is twice the ammound usually given). Gave Sofie 10L water, Ph 6.5, ppm 40, and 1ml/l pure zym. Runoff 5L, ppm 160, ph 6.9. Gerd got 5L water ph 6.3, 1ml/l pure zym. Runoff : ppm 256, ph 6.8, 1.3L.
03.08.22 (D90) - Gave Gerd some water, 5L , 40 ppm, 6.2 ph, 1ml/l pure zym. Runoff 1,3L, 200ppm, 6.8 ph.
29.07.22 (D85) - Was more of a challenge then i first think it would be. But it was really enjoyable. Overwatered quite hard, she wilted bad and did not drink any water, i overfed her twice with a nute lock, i would have killed her 4 times i think, but i got help from this community and managed to harvest her atleast^^ Pest and bugfree grow aswell, very happy about that! Was afraid of some bugs one time after i see some sticky glue like substance on her leaf. I touched it, licked it and it tasted very good and sweet, but i did not really know what it was.. So i did a search, and i first found this web-site, telling that it was aphids waste.. I threw up abit. Or quite alot actually. Then when i checked her after i did not see any signs of those aphids.. I then did some more searching and found out the plants can sweat sugar!
08.08.22 - I got bud rot on my plant that has its own diary, and i decided to harvest these 2 and throw away the other. Very sad weekend, Would want these to grow for atleast 1 more week, but i take what i can get and just happy if the rot did not spread. Got a decent 240 from Sofie, 312 from Gerd and 205 from Elise last week. So not a total miss!:) Will update smoke report later when i have cured for atleast 2 weeks.
