This was my first plant and my second harvest and things did not go super smooth the whole way through. I definitely had some nutrient issues as the plant experienced some nutrient lock that caused her to herm mid-flower, so the buds are partially filled with seeds. I have a couple more seeds of this strain I am going to try to run again and that might provide a more accurate assessment of it. Prior to me messing her up though, she was growing amazing and the colors are a delight. I look forward to seeing how her clone performs outdoors and I have another ready to go shortly as well.
I am not certain I was properly flushing between feedings during this first run and experienced some nut lock. Will hold any assessment of these until I use them again, but I have a feeling that the recommended doses are a bit on the high side.
Entering week 5 of flowering on this photoperiod and she's experiencing wide-spread yellowing in leaves over past week. Haven't been monitoring pH or PPM, but am assuming this is nitrogen deficiency due to nutrient lockout. Can anyone confirm or recommend treatment beyond flush
When you go into bloom you dont cut you grow nutes out, you just tune it down some. A little nitrogen is still needed to maintain leaf health. Start out when first going into bloom with half bloom half veg nutes. Decrease the grow each feed after that. Around the 5th week mark is when you should be at no more grow and straight bloom and boosters.
Hi PawsGrow, I'm growing Herbies OG Kush. See my diary for progress. I'm in 3rd week of flower. Ocean is definitely too hot. I bought the frog but haven't use it yet because I'm still on my first grow too. Also when you start fertilizing, cut back on your nutes to 1/2 or less. Growers have indicated that I'm using too much by following the bottle directions.
@Natrona, Thanks for the information and advice! I'll check out your grow to see how things have gone for you so far and will keep an eye on how the flowering progresses. Hopefully topping with the Happy Frog will keep mine happy when they're young and will offer some buffer before they hit the Ocean.
@PawsGrow, it’s been a difficult plant to grow for me. Lots of leaf spotting, like calcium deficiency, but cal mag didn’t seem to help. Otherwise I would consider the buds pretty good, but I’ve had better. I’m getting ready to post more pics. I’m thinking 10 more days.
@Dexterado, Thanks for letting me know! Checked out your grow diary and she's looking pretty good right now to me, with my limited experience. Are you happy with the size of buds your plant managed to grow as you near the end?
@Drgreen13, Thank you kindly! I was trying to use what I had lying around and the dowels, electrical wiring and safety pins are proving to be quite versatile.
