The Frost Guava is growing well but looks like she may be suffering from a calcium deficiency affecting several of the larger fan leaves near the top of the plant. For the most part, the plant looks pretty good otherwise.
I was planning to do some defoliation at this stage anyway, so I plucked most of the afflicted leaves and pruned a few branches to open things up a bit more as she's grown quite thick.
I'm giving her a 24-hour flush to reset things and I'll give her a feed with fresh water tomorrow.
Buds are swelling nicely and are frosty and sticky. Smell is akin to juicy fruit gum and shoe polish.
A couple of more weeks to go. Hopefully, smooth sailing ahead.
Thanks for tuning in. More news next week ✌️
@StunFlower, hope it bounces back. I found transplanting goes better when I pre-water the soil before the transplant, add some myco's to the roots, and then water it in a little more. I get the soil to where it clumps when I squeeze it, but no water drips out.
@Oozle, Ya, she bounced back really well. I'm glad she did because I'm pretty intrigued by this strain.
I had actually planned to replace her with another Alien Moonrocks I had going in soil. However, that plant started going downhill soon after I transplanted her into a bigger pot. She's taking forever to dry out after the initial watering. I didn't think I overdid it - about 2 liters of water; she's in a 5-gallon fabric pot - so not sure what's going on. Looks like I need to threaten her with eviction/extinction as well 😉
