Oct 9 - Noticing beginning of fade! Both plants are gaining mass in main cola, with one lagging on trichome development. Days are 20F colder, which makes managing optimal temperatures easier inside the tent. Will aim to water at 4PM
Oct 9 - Noticed the first Orange hairs appearing on on of the lower colas. Touched the trichomes accidentally on main cola - worried that THC is gone forever.
Oct 10 - Noticed rust spots on one of the plants leaves - Likely magnesium deficiency, I'm hoping it's just a symptom of fade (but likely incorrect and is a larger problem). Watered .7L at 5pm. I noticed some flakes of paint in the dechlorinated water. Hoping this doesn't affect the plants.
Oct 11 - Leaves are transitioning from darker green to lime, thankfully the calyx' are starting to gain volume on both plants, though one trichome developments is much lower. Scent is still very mild, though sour aroma lingers on the fingers post contact.
Oct 11 - Watered at 5-6PM 1.1L (stepping up from .7L) to see if they'll fatten up accordingly. I hope this doesn't result in soggy soil same time tomorrow.
Oct 12 - Checked night time temp and RH. Temp is 62F and RH is 49%. Up to 75F within 2 hours of lights on
Oct 12 - Noticing more red rust spots spreading, though leaves are also yellowing just as calyx' are gaining mass. Added another Oscilating Fan to aid in penetrating bushy foliage.
Oct 12 - Watered 1.1L at 6-7 PM. Plants seem okay with increase in water, perhaps 1L each is enough.
Oct 13 - Noticing pistils are turning colour to a pale orange.
Oct 13 - Watered 1.2L around 8-9PM (26+hours since last water). Aiming to keep temperature under 75F from now on.
Oct 14 - Noticing more red spots. Might double check PH calibration. Watered at 12.30-1 AM - 4 hours overdue
Oct 15 - RH at 60% after 5 hours of darkness. Dropped to 37% after 10 minutes. Hoping this hasn't started bud rot. Trichomes are slowly developing on both plants. Lower bud-sites are super airy, with very little calyx volume in contrast to top colas.
Oct 15 - Inspected most large buds and no whispy white, brown or discoloured buds so far.
Oct 15 - Watered only 1 plant as soil was still too moist from last midnight. Could be a sign they're getting close to finishing too as pistils/stigmas are roughly 30% Orange.
Oct 15 - Re-Calibrated PH. Water was reading at 8.13 - 8.10 before calibration. After calibration reading of same water was 8.06 - 8.02. PH was off by roughly +0.05.
What deficiency is this? Mottling at edges + rust spots. I have Gaia Green 4-4-4 and 2-8-4 organic dry amendment line + Worm castings. 2 lower leaves turned pale yellow, which were removed. What do these ladies need to get their full green back?
N toxicity and lockout. I see start of magnesium too.
Plain water with run off. Try to load 1.5 liters of 6.3 phed water when you water next rime. Count days, if it takes longer than 5 to drink up, decrease by 20%
Dont let them stand in run off, collect with sponge and throw out.
Any calmag will have N, epsom salt too. Would not use, till new grow goes lime green, not yellow green or just dont grow and stays dark green.
Is this heat stress or lack of nutrients? Fading leaves, 24 days from last dry organic amendment (Gaia Green 444, 284 and worm castings)Raised serrated edges of leaves on tallest cola tells me it's too hot despite temperature in range (79F max temp, 65% RH. 16" from Light)
It's not heat, your heat levels are fine, and your feed is also okay. The issue here is light burn/stress. To address this, consider moving your light slightly farther away from your plant, approximately 5-10 cm. Additionally, if possible, reduce the humidity to around 50-55%. Keep in mind that 65% humidity is too high for the flowering stage
Hi! Rust spots appearing on fan leaves - Week 9 Autoflower - 5th week of flower. I'm hesitant to add anything to the soil so close to harvest. I'm using Gaia Green Organic dry amendments. Is this normal and part of 'fade' process? Will this damage yield or potency? 6.3PH
First, as long as they don't tkae a sudden andn precipitous nosedive, this won't be a huge effect on yield. i've seen some burnt to shit canopies on gd still produce donks. you do want to limit this sort of damage as much as you can. it won't grow back in bloom. you lose daily potential for photosynthesis.. the single greatest factor for growth (light = energy).
this is not senescence. you can definitely avoid this 'next' time.
it is a nutrient imbalance. Looks like it's been a bit low on calcium (spots with no interveinal chlorosis coinciding). Other things with similar symptoms exist as well as due to nute or ph lockout. do your due diligence.
if you stick to same products/methods, supplemetn more Ca a few weeks before this point.. if you know when it showed up, maybe a week before? try to avoid it next time. Assuming it corrected the issue this time, of course.
@MMSC16, Oh man, that is so great! I love the living soil philosophy and i want to get there too! Right after i found my groove with bottled nutes. Very excited for your living soil experience!🌱🌞🍀
@MMSC16, i absolutely know what you're talking about. Sometimes it just gets bad out of nowhere. And its nerve wrecking to not find a logical reason for it. I hope it'll be fine again soon!
@Herbie101, Thankyou very much sir :) I hope the calcium deficiency and N toxicity wont impact yield very much. Wondering how a toxicity has happened so close to flower and so long after last feeding. PH is at 6.3 So not sure the cause but will keep monitoring!
@gottagrowsometime, Thankyou! It's been about a week and first plant is almost dry! Will be trimming and uploading final harvest weight soon! Thanks for checking the journey!
🍃💚 A garden of delight! Your cannabis harvest is a testament to your passion and commitment. Those buds are like little treasures, each one a testament to your green expertise. 🌿💎
@DutchFarmer, What a wholesome and wonderful comment to recieve. Thankyou so much - Hoping to improve with each grow. Truly it's the members at GD that made this possible!
