Had some trouble this week with light bleaching. This strain in autopots have some trouble handling higher intensity at least at this stage. (compared to high frequency drip).
I raised the light to around 60-70cm. Observing for changes.
Also I'm kind of getting tired with autopots. Having some blockages, ph drift in trays. I think I will give them a chance in an organic grow. I have done my fair share of grows with them and they did fine. But I think it's time to evolve to drip. Will see what future brings.
Cheers growmies!
P. S
Speaking of bad luck. I have 14 different Tropicanna Poisons and none of them showing purple/red flowers so far. I know that the true dark ones show a little at this stage.
I started noticing some leaves getting a bit paler/cloudy litghter green. Starting from middle to the tip. Not the the ones on the very top, mostly second from the top. The bottom leaves seem fine. Not all plants are affected. Not the areas with most light too.
I noticed you're VPD is off for flower...you should drop your temps to mid 70's and humidity to around 55 at least.
Also I would try adding calcium to your magnesium sulfate (epsom). Sometimes providing the magnesium without the calcium can throw it out of balance and create a deficiency of one or the other(tacoing leaves). The humidity makes your leaves taco as well.
I feel like once you get your VPD in line and start supplementing both calcium and magnesium she should get back on track.
Hope this helps 🙏
Yea what Mrs larimar say
In the second picture, see how the leaf edges are pointing upward, and the plant looks like it's praying, just like in your 8-week photo. This means it's getting a bit too much light 🍻
Hey man, looks like you got a great grow! I’m thinking of chopping mine as it’s now been 7 weeks with 450w of LED light. I always find it so hard to figure out when to chop, even when looking at the trich’s I can never bring myself to kill a plant but I get SUPER paranoid at this stage and it’s starting to get to the stage where I need to let workers in and stuff so it’ll all have to be taken down after this. Then when they’ve completed it, they’ll leave ,e alone and I’ll start up again.
@Rabidreject, for sure mate she will be good enough. Yeah, I ve got workers at my new place right now too. Can't wait when they finish and I can start a new grow there.
What are you changing?
I also get paranoid sometimes. It helps to have someone to calm you down. 😊
@jjfraser, tanks! good luck! Colours come out in the last two weeks for me. If you want to make them really come out, drop the night temps below 20 c. Cheers!
