Not seeing as much growth as expected this far in. It seems like in the past plants have been bigger by week 2 but then again it has been a while. Starting to see a little bit of yellowing on the biggest leaves of the largest 2 babies (#1 and #2). Was suspected this may be due to the soil they were started in. With it just being generic garden soil (black dirt/mulch) maybe it was too "hot" for the seedlings. Either way they will be going into better soil and bigger pots soon.
@BudBoutique, Thanks man, I'll give a follow back! Yeah I agree, I think some jar time will help for sure. By the time the next run is finished I should have a better way to control the drying environment. Gonna dry the next run in the grow room which has a controller and is easier to regulate temp and humidity. Soooo stoked for these Big Body Gelati from Covert! You too bud, smoke up!
@CannabisFarmerGuyDude,
appreciate your long answer bro. Yeah im same not always exactly 60/60 but just curing them a few more weeks make them more better. Just get them darkness and low temp and burp as usual. And trust me 4-8 weeks make a huge difference even though its not easy to keep hands away haha have a super stoney weekend buddy - will follow u straight :)
@Seedsman, oh definitely familiar with pH and absorption rates, but since I am avoiding sulfate based, soluble, ionic, fertilizers/nutrients and didn't provide them with adequate container size or high quality soil (just in Roots Organic), I don't think there is much that can be changed this late in the cycle unless I want to introduce some bottled solution. Had they been in say at least 15 gallon or preferably 30 gallon containers, with a compost based complete soil that provided the plants everything they could need for the entire cycle and more, the effects of slightly too alkaline water would probably be negligible. Next run is already set up for this so all these issues should be avoided next time!
@CannabisFarmerGuyDude, that sound a bit high... ideal would be under 7.0
Have you read any table of absorption of elements depending on Ph? It would be good for you to see the optimal ranges, there are many on Google if you haven't done so. 🙏
@Seedsman, was able to get a pH off the runoff this morning. Was reading 7.6 so while a little more basic than ideal, that wouldn't cause too many issues would it?
@Seedsman, Thank you! It has been eradicated, thankfully it was less severe than initially expected. Only lost a few pieces of a couple colas but saved the rest. Did a massive defoliation and inspection right after this last post so the last week or so should go smooth. Also was able to move them to the new grow room so the humidity and temp are a lot easier to manage. Have humidity sitting around 40-45% now and temp consistently around 75-77F which is a lot better and should prevent any new issues from coming up the last week or two. The buds that are remaining are really dense and frosty!! Can't wait to try it!
