Transplanted the Bubba Kush on day 21 to a 7 gallon fabric pot of 50% FF Ocean Forest, 50% FF Happy Frog, and a bit of dolomite lime. I usually transplant around week 3 without issue but it seems like the Bubba Kush doesn't like something. Her leaves are droopy and while there is decent growth every day she is super small and stout. Day 20 in particular you can see the first set of leaves fading and becoming yellow. This may be due to her needing to be transplanted, although I would like to note that she's been pretty droopy since germination. I forgot to take photos, but when I transplanted her I observed her roots for awhile and noticed that despite the Bubba being about a week ahead of the Grape Diamonds, her roots were not as long or vigorous. Regardless, I sprinkled some myco directly on the roots and transplanted her to her final pot.
The humidity in the tent has been drastically lowered this week as I've moved the humidifier from the veg tent to the flower tent to provide the 60%rh needed to dry the Mephisto's Wedding. I don't expect low humidity to be an issue after I transplant into bigger pots and the plants start to become bigger. Hopefully in the next week she makes a full recovery and starts catching up to the health of the Grape Diamonds.
If all goes well for the next few weeks, I plan on topping her alongside the Grape Diamonds. I also plan on feeding only water, compost tea, and dry amendments. I will probably veg her out for maybe another 4 or so weeks and will probably start feeding in 5 or so weeks.
@Gold1, Sure, exactly we learn everyday :) I must try organic myself. I thinking about biocanna, since it resembles regular hydro. Maybe this year is the year :)
Fingers crossed they will deliver some goodies nevertheless.
Good luck !
@Willy_Balls, Yes, this is my first attempt at growing photoperiods with nothing but organic dry amendment and teas. I seem to have misjudged when I should have fed dry amendments, and the plants went without potassium for 2 weeks or so.
The leaves are messed up due to an initial potassium deficiency as well as possible burning. I also see some signs of calmag deficiency.
That being said, they are still producing calyx and pistils. My other plant, the Grape Diamonds, is filling out better than the Bubba Kush. I don't expect them to be as dense or big as they would normally, but that is okay. You live and you learn right?
I've got another two plants in the veg tent ready to enter the flower tent once these girls are done.
Thanks for the cheers friend. :D
