Ap0_DrX Don't really understand what happened to Zkittlez, so disappointing , maybe the distributor in my country had them for too long and stored them really poorly. After 2-3 days They were transplanted, It was almost midnight, they started to rise up from the medium , the cotyledons still did not fan out yet, I was aware that this process happens really fast but I have still done one of the most stupidest thing to the seedling, I left the room's 8 watts LED light on, instead of turning it off, and then went to sleep. At 7 in the Tuesday morning, Their cotyledons already fanned out and the plants stretched out. This was bad but it was getting worse, I immediately lowered down the 650W LED light and turn it on at 30% (that was what I remembered) with 30 cm distance, and then left for work. I came home to find out they stretched even more, It turned out that I had forgoten to increase the light intensity. ARG !!!! *&$%#^&#**^$&*$(#( After increasing the light intensity, I started to measure the plant's height, they started to increase height slowly. but the damaged had been done, the pot was 90% full, so we went stick & wire

GrowingGrannieanswered grow question 3y ago

From the variety of different shapes the white markings are, you're probably dealing with thrips - but you don't need to figure out precisely what they are because there are treatments that will get rid of both thrips or spider mites. As m0use says, it's easy to find something that will help you and it really doesn't matter what that is either since you are in veg and anything can be used... but if I were you, I would choose something that can be used all the way to harvest just in case you get rid of them now and they come back later during flowering... so my recommendation to you is to get some Spinosad or Dr. Zymes Eliminator.. both are organic and both will kill thrips, spider mites, aphids, whiteflies... any sucking insect. BT is used for chewing bugs - catepillars and the like (which is NOT the problem here but I offer that just in case you ever find holes in your leaves!). Spinosad products, in particular, are going to be the most effective and easiest to find... you can get it at any garden center or online... Good luck - it's a minor problem right now - but one that can explode overnight.

Yeah, it's probably just the genetics of that particular seed.... I've got 3 plants going where 2 are "normal" size and the 3rd is 5-6" taller and always has been - opposite problem from yours but the same idea.... Your lights, obviously, are a good distance away so if she wasn't getting enough, she'd be stretching... so THAT'S not the problem. The only thing I can think of to suggest (other than just accepting her as she is) might be to add some Recharge into her feed and see if stimulating her roots would help her out. This has done wonders for some problem-children of mine at various stages and just might help yours as well. If she doesn't respond to that, I think you're going to just have to accept her! Good luck!

Ap0_DrX - Nothing much for this week Co2, Light height and Ligth Schedule was still the same. - Water amount was going to be increased next week, 1 gallon per 3 days didn't seem enough, plant always drooping on day 3 - when running 100% of light, it is really hard to maintain correct VPD - I found 1 of the Hermie and need to bring it outside

If you have moved it from indoors to outside into direct sunlight, without "hardening off" first, this is the result, burnt tips. Sunlight is much stronger than lamp light and any plant growing indoors needs to grow accustomed (harden off) to sunlight once moved outdoors by only getting morning sun, then shade for the middle part of the day, gradually increasing the amount of sun over a week or two, before it can handle all day sunlight.

One of the best articles on this can be found here: https://www.growweedeasy.com/nebulas-super-simple-3-step-defoliation-tutorial You really DO need to do some defoliation to get air flow going as well as bringing light to the lower bud sites... that article will help you figure out what to trim, when to trim and how much to trim .... it's my go-to reference for defoliation! Good luck!

I have this symptom, a pattern of rust spots happening on new leaves, I have checked medium PH, which is around 7.5. I think it is Boron Deficiency caused by The medium PH not being approximately 6.5. I need more suggestions, What do you guys think?

Daytrip97answered grow question 3y ago

Honestly just fix the ph first. The problem may sort itself out rather easily. I would not add anything until after the ph is corrected depending on your grow media. The optimal ph for cannabis is 5.5-6.5, the lower end geared towards hydroponics and the higher end towards soil.

Some of the plant's leaves turn pink. The medium PH is around 7.5. I have tested the medium NPK and it indicated that P was very low, N and K were still good. I have looked it up and some posts said that it was P and K deficiency. Could it be only P deficiency?

Imagine yourself snall kid and mum put cookie jar on the fridge. You cant reach it, unless you get in higher level to reach, aka use chair or something ;))) So ph is the same !!! Nutrition don't magically disappear, they just cant be used or reached if ph is WRONG. sort it !!!

ChitownCannaChicaanswered grow question 3y ago

It’s a deficiency because the ph is too high—- plant can only uptake so much when the ph is off. Get the ph closer to 6.1 and the deficiency will go away.
