Germinated in paper towels then direct to soil. I lost 4 seeds previously using rock wool cubes, seeds just wouldn't start. I originally had also Bern germinating Sweet Seeds Sweet Cheese but no seeds would germinate. Harvest date on package was 2 years old, maybe that had something to do with it. The 4th unknown plant here is from a friend.
Bottom leaves are yellowing quickly, every day another 5-8 yellow and drop. Is it too early or normal? 3rd week of flower after a very long veg period (13 weeks) outdoors.
25ml per L for feed is a lot. It might be getting locked out.
I would be watering with a bit of runoff when feeding this strong to prevent buildup and lockout.
It might also be a good idea to get a TDS pen to measure EC of your feeding solution and and monitor the EC of the runoff. Would not hurt to check its PH as well. This way you know its not to much and don't wait money on more nutrients when its not needed.
The signs and symptom are pointing towards Nitrogen deficiency But I think its mimic that from a build up or wrong PH.
Your week 14 looks to have nitrogen toxicity at 21ml/L total feed so leads me to believe its buildup in the medium.
Good Luck!
Week 5 of flower. I got covid and was down for 2 weeks during a heatwave, plants got nute burned. One plant got decimated, the other 3 seem fine. Flushed them, waited a week, now resuming feed at about 50%.
Week 6. I lost the nute burned one, just wouldn't recover. Other 3 are doing great, starting to fatten up nicely. I'm feeding at 50% recommended levels (Advanced Nutrients).
Week 7. Trichomes show the 2 afghanis are ready. I flushed one and will havest tomorrow. The other I'll let go a week longer. A bit of an experiment.
And then there is my unknown Plant X, still clear trichomes and green af. I'd say at least 1-2 weeks to go.
Week 8. Afghanis are ready. Plant X still has a week or two still.
I'll harvest SAD#2 today along with a few branches of SAD #1 for taste tests between flush/unflushed. Then flush #1 and let grow a week for another test (more amber/mature). Plant X harvest in a couple weeks.
Week 8/9. Harvested 1 plant last week and let the other go another week for an A/B test.
Plants got nute burned in mid flower due to 2 weeks of covid and lack of attention so some dead/burned leaves in the flowers. No worries, it's for personal use so it is what it is. It's fun and I learned a lot too.
Week 10 for my unknown Plant X. Still lots of clear and no amber. It's been a strong grower compared to my others. Still solid green and I've been starving it of N for two weeks. Going to flush soon and harvest before the colder and rainy weather hits.
Harvest time for Plant X (unknown strain). Week 11 of flower, still not at my target amber but need to chop due to rainy/cool weather. For fun, I threw all the stress techniques at it - split main stem, ice flush, 72 hours dark. I yelled at it a lot and told her that was a worthless slut whore.
Anyways, still had sone bud rot on a couple buds, surgically removed it, the rest is fine. Don't tell me to throw it all away, I've been doing this for years and never had a problem.
Drying it out in a spare room trying to keep humidity down with a space heater. It's either cold and humid or warm and not humid so lesser of 2 evils.
All in all, this unknown strain outperformed my purchased seeds. Grew fast and easy and withstood my over fertilizing and heatwave better than the others.
