This is a clone from my diary "Solo Sour Diesel" https://growdiaries.com/diaries/123455-grow-journal-by-gipen
It was cut on December of 2021, since then it grew fine until a point where it suffered root rot and almost all it´s leaves were yellow.
After root rot recovery it was fed top-veg from top-crop which helped recover it's green and produce new healthy leaves.
On 2022-09-11 I transplanted it into a 10 gal pot to start this diary.
The soil is reused with dry amendments from a local provider:
350g of a nitrogen based fertiliser ( 9% nitrogen - 35% organic carbon - 56% organic matter)
350g of potassium rock (k2o 50.25%)
350g of phosphorous rock (P2O2 30% and CaO 44%)
60g diatomaceous earth
The plant got a big transplant shock, in the last 2 weeks there was no growth, it just withered.
I was about to pull it out but I dug to inspect the roots and discovered new healthy roots so I let it to recover.
I sprayed it with alg-a-mic everyday twice a day.
Finally the plant is showing progress.
Al leaves turned up to the light and there is new growth that's looking healthier
Continued the Alg-A-Mic spray twice or once a day.
There was many small flies appearing into the tent and a friend told me they were fungus gnats so I watered with beauveria bassiana and put additional sticky traps.
This week the plant is looking greener.
Beauveria Bassiana is doing it's jobs, lots of fungus gnats are falling to the sides of the pot, not completely dead but unable to fly, they must be infected with the fungus.
New growth is showing all over.
The edges of the leaves are still yellow, added some liquid bloom fertilizers to increase potassium, also added a couple of spoons of rock powder of potassium (50% K2O) as top dressing
Last week of vegetation
The growth and recovery during the veg time was good, covered most of the net, I'd like more but I want to be harvesting by December to be free for summer vacations (south hemisphere)
First week of flowering.
The net is almost completely covered
Air relative humidity has increased, that's a sign of a more vigorous growth.
Continued using top-max with a pinch of Epson salts
Week 3 of flower
This week the plant was more thirsty, added some bloom nutrients thinking It maybe had a K deficiency, but the leafs continued to get yellow edges and tips, maybe was just nutrients burn.
5th week of flowering
Not so hot this week
Plant started to smell, not so much tho
Low humidity was drying the soil quickly, added more water this week also using ice to reduce water temperature as the RO water I use come in bottles and is not so cold.
6th week of flowering
Temperatures have been very high here.
I've continued using ice to lower the water temperature.
Disconnected the extractor fan to increase the humidity at the end of the week, as VPD was completely out the chart.
7th week of flowering
Keeping humidity high had a good impact in the plant as buds started to grow more vigorously.
There was a wildfire this week which covered the sun and decreased day temperatures.
Bought a new bottle of alg-a-mic and gave a good dose to help the plant cope with the stress of changes in temperature and humidity.
As a reaction to the ambient conditions changes nanners appeared but apparently they are sterile as I haven't seen any pollen.
