Received a clone of an unknown Skunk strain from a friend. It has been cloned and passed around enough that the name has since been forgotten. Started it in my window, but wasn't getting enough sun, so I moved it into a hanging pot outside.
Grow room is finally done! Moved from outside (notice camo-flower-age). Ill veg for a bit and then grab some clones and start this one to blooming.
...please ignore the pitiful tomato plant attmepts.
Noticed major Manganese deficiency. Started flushing with clean water; ordered a pH tester that should arrive today.
Edit: pH tested and showing 6.5 now; trimmed off the worst leaves to help tell if it is spreading or stopped
Last week I noticed a small deficiency forming and so did a flush with tap water; couple days later I received my soil pH meter and everything was looking good at 6-6.5.
Started using different nutrients, and it seems to have come back even worse. I checked my pH again, and now its much higher at 7.5-8. I ordered a water pH tester, pH up and down, and a nutrient mix guaranteed to have Manganese in it (all arriving today).
Do I flush once, and then start the Nutrients right after? Or should I flush for a couple days?
Do I trim off all of the severely burnt leaves? At what point should I do that (before or after flush, after nutrients)?
Is this going to seriously screw over my harvest?
Hi there ! First I would not recommend you to trim your leaves , or untill 70% of a leaf is damaged as the plant still suck out the nutrients stocked in it untill it falls. Second I would recommend you to flush until your PH reach 6.0/6.5 again as it will be the better time to feed them , if you do so now then it could result a nutrient lockout. And I think it will low your yiel a bit. Hope it wil help you 👍😁
Fighting through the Manganese issue, monitoring water pH in and out. I've flushed with 6.3, but even with treating my nutrient water down to 6.7 it seems to be coming out at 7.2.
Seems like the spread has slowed or stopped; hitting it with some heavy nutrients to try and bulk out the buds before flush and harvest (hopefully it'll do okay even with the extra defoliation)
Still battling with the pH; I put water in at 6.5, it comes out at 7.5... noticed some splotchiness on other fan leaves as well. Will start flushing with plain water pH adjusted down to 6-6.5 in preparation to harvest.
Despite the abuse, this strain was overall pretty forgiving. Most of the buds are pretty fluffy (my fault), but there are a lot of crystals making it super sticky. Smells Piney with a hint of lemon.
I'll start off by saying I did some things poorly in this grow, from poor defoliation to misdiagnosed (Until it was to late) pH lockout. This strain was overall pretty forgiving despite all that. Most of the buds are pretty fluffy, but there are a lot of crystals making it super sticky. Smells Piney with a hint of lemon.
Hmmm ... mwell... well ... well...
You’re noticing a lot of problems, but they are more personal opinions than real facts bro...
Let me tell you what happened... that plant was between Mother Nature hands under the sun during most of her life cycle ... then suddenly you’ve put her under your LED and blasted her right in her face !
So ... in week 10 you’ve found what was the right symptoms but didn’t solve the problem correctly !
Magnesium is the central molecule in the chlorophyll ion and of course gets used up in the photosynthesis process.... and what does power up the photosynthesis process ? The light ☝️
But another problem that I’m suspecting is you might have switched between Veg nutrients to Bloom nutrients to early or didn’t gave her enough Nitrogen before switching to flowering to support the stretch ...
Checking pH is good but you must understand the absolute necessity of having an EC/TDS meter to know what you’re really doing and what’s happening in case of any problems ...
I won’t give you hopes or tell you any dreams .... but that plant is already dead bro....
There’s plenty of Masters Growers on GrowDiaries where you can find your inspiration and make it right if you follow step by step their style , you have the choice between all the range from Soil and HPS to Hydro and LED’s or whatever ....
@@Athos, cal/mag supplements are for Hydro systems using RO water ☝️
In soil using tap water ,it’s useless and could be harmful, there’s plenty enough cal/mag available
@@@@Athos, tap water at 20ppm is like RO water .... but you might be the only here with a tap water at 20ppm ... you live in the mountains ? Or your tap comes from rain water ?
leaves may be changing color as she is feeding off herself, calcium (crushed eggs solution) water might help with the ph. she looks good; ill follow and see how she goes
