This weeks feed proved to be too much for the girls. I followed the feed chart to the letter this time which it indicated the ppm to mix to 1200, which isn't high by my standards. In the past we were mixing hydroponic solutions upward of 2400ppm. Anyways, i highly highly highly recommend installing a security camera in your tent. You can hook it up to monitor on your phone and you can check in on your plants 50 times a day if you want with just a tap or 2 on your phone screen. Reason i advice it is because you get a really good grasp on how your plants look, so when something looks slightly off you will know right away that something is up. I knew my girls were dosed with a hot mix of nutrients, and i found that out when the lights were off. Because i have night vision on my cameras and i could see the closest plant to the camera, that it's leaves looked different than usual. The leaf tips were pointing up in a wavy upward pattern that was different from how they normally looked, so i knew something was up. When i went in, and checked when the lights turned on, my suspicions were correct. And based on a issue with plant #6 which we determined it to be nutrient burn, the signs and symptoms were the same. So i did nothing lol. I just said fuck it and left them alone as sort of an experiment i guess, but also partly because i just did a big flush and it was a bitch and i don't wanna lift the pots off the bases again and fuck up the wicks underneath lol. So i monitored them closely and made sure it wasn't progressing severely and killing them. They are damaged yes, but still truckin' I Let the soil dry out and then i watered in 2 liters of 6.2 pH calmag in each pot yesterday. I'm hoping that the plants gobbled up a bunch of the nutrients that was burning them, and that adding the 2 liters of calmag to the soil will perhaps provide a light flush, and also free up any remaining salts from the previous feed. I'm hoping that it will provide a balance, because i really don't want to flush again. There is some debate on whether or not calcium is even needed during flowering. Calcium delivers nitrogen during veg, but in flower, the plants don't need a lot of nitrogen, or calcium, so there's some debate on whether calmag is necessary during flower. I add it anyways just in case, but the science suggests otherwise. Anyways, some plants burned worse than other's. Some plants hardly show any damage at all. This is why i have always loved water culture, because i know exactly whats going on in my mixture and my root zone. In soil and coco, who the fuck knows from one day to the next? Oh, and 1 last thing. The feed chart i am following does not include a calmag supplement, and, i am using green planet ocean magic instead of the IPP Sea Storm additive that belongs in the line (i ran out). So the calmag is increasing the PPM and the green planet ocean magic i don't know how big a difference there is between it and the Sea Storm additive. Just things to consider. I do have a PPM meter. It's brand new in the box. Maybe I'll whip it out and calibrate it and test next batch. I usually never bother because the feed charts provide the PPM value of each weeks mixtures. But since i am adding extra additives and different brands of additives, maybe i'll just check. I calibrated my pH pen yesterday evening and it was off by a little bit, like 0.2 on the pH 4.0 test it read 4.2, and the pH 7 test it read 6.8. All calibrated now. I have to admit, that i am still not 100% sure it is completely the fault of the nutrient's being hot. So here's why.....The Coco i use is the Mother's 70/30 coco perlite mix that comes in 50L bags. It's washed and buffered to 6.8 pH. I water in 5.8 solution, come back next day it's 6.8 in the soil. Lowest i ever got it on my soil pH reader was 6.6. So, here's the question....pH fluctuation damage can look like magnesium damage, except where magnesium deficient leaves create inter vein chlorosis, pH fluctuation creates Necrosis between the veins. Now, being that this Coco stubbornly wants to sit at 6.8, I'm wondering if dumping in a 5.8 to 6.0 solution could be a drastic, and wide enough swing in pH, to freak the plants out and cause the issue. OR, could it be a combination of the 2??? And Apologies, i took a video on my phone for this weeks entry to the diary, but this website refuses to work when i try to upload it, so that's unfortunate. I'll try again but it's not really cooperating. And if you like the Camera corner shelves, I got a 2 pack off amazon for about seventeen bucks. I don't recommend the ones i have though because they have rubber clamps and they grip like a mother fucker to the metal poles and are very difficult to move up and down when adjusting the height.

Best guess as to what this is caused by? Only appears on upper half of the plant. Lower half is healthy and normal. Flushed with 5 Liters of 6.4 pH water stopped the progression

The symptoms you're describing, with damage mainly on the upper half of the plant's leaves, could be indicative of nutrient imbalance or pH fluctuation. Leaf burn at the edges suggests a potential excess of certain nutrients. The fact that flushing with pH-adjusted water stopped the progression is a good sign. It likely helped remove excess salts or imbalances in the growing medium. To troubleshoot further: Check pH Levels: Regularly monitor the pH of your water and soil. Ensure it remains within the optimal range for your plants. Fluctuations can affect nutrient uptake. Nutrient Levels: Assess the nutrient levels in your soil. Excessive amounts of certain nutrients can lead to leaf burn. Consider using a balanced, well-formulated fertilizer. Watering Practices: Ensure that you are not overwatering or underwatering. Both extremes can stress the plant and affect nutrient uptake. Lighting: If the issue is only on the upper leaves, evaluate your lighting setup. Too much intensity or proximity of the light source can cause leaf burn. Keep a close eye on your plants, and if you notice any new developments or changes, adjust your care accordingly. Sometimes, these issues can be trial-and-error to find the perfect balance for your specific growing conditions.

Good stuff for first coco grow! I’ve been on sites with the Female Seeds brand but never purchased any of their stuff. This will be good to see

@FrontRowAG_BrianG, I bought the seeds in 2011 and have kept them in the fridge all that time.

@Kitties_and_Colas, Nothing unusual that i've noticed. I did a fair bit of research before i put them in there. All the data i read seemed to lean towards it not having an effect on them. I can't express how valuable having cameras in the grow is. Game changer for me. Allows my laziness to soar to new heights! lol

Hey @AutoflowersSucK have you noticed any abnormal/weird revegetative growth since using your cameras?.. I ask because we had a lot of issues with hermis and mutated leaves couple years and someone mentioned it could be the infrared light from our night vision cameras disrupting their dark period..We seem fine since my husband removed the cameras but it may not even be related, I thoght id ask someone who uses them, thank you for any input! 👊😺

@BudBoutique, I can't express enough how valuable having cams in your tents is. I love to sit and watch my plants. I find it relaxing to watch the leaves rustle and to just look them over and relax. The thing with that habit is that you have your tent open and you fuck up your VPD. With the cams, i can check on my plants anywhere in the world as long as i have a internet connection. I can lay in bed and put the cam on and just watch them live. I look at them through the cameras so often that i have a very good understanding of them and how they grow. If an issue arises, like droubt or over feeding burn, i can see it pretty quickly and get in there to rectify the problem. Or if my oscillating fan stops working, or if any equipment should fail.

"Some of the plants are having trouble establishing a capillary action and drawing up the water from the bases" Had that issues with high ppm/ec with my lemon durban autos they never drank the bottom half of the pot. root systems were bad when i checked after harvest.

@@TPYRD, Ya like wide screen, i get it. Man, i'm fuckin irritated by a answer in the grow question by one of the regulars. I'm just pissed that he gave such shit advice, and the guy selected his answer before i got my reply posted.....

@AutoflowersSucK, should mention it doesnt physically rotate like yours, but you can flip from landscape to portrait. And usually they have 120 degree angle or better. Just a way to reuse old phones that sit in drawers. And with phones fitting easy into those bendy style holders theyre easy to mount and throw on a charger. Just dont let them bake directly in the light, id be worried about the batteries getting hot. Constant charge + recording/broadcasting + heat from light.. id place it above a light and have a fan on it or throw an old heat sink on the back if you notice it getting hot-hot I use one as a webcam for discord, but never put one in a tent.. so there might be some spicey variables to consider.

@GYOweed, Ya thats a shame. The female seed i had was a freebe from a seed purchase back in 2011. I had the seed in my fridge for 10 years. I just got rid of the mother from seed this year but kept a clone of it and now i have a new Lemon Kush Mother from Clone. I like the plant. It hardy and really tough. Doesn't bush up much so no need to defoliate. Grows in a classic sativa pattern but with not too much height. My particular crop is going to be a 9 week finish, and thats 9 weeks to get the bulk of your trichomes cloudy. Next weekend i'll be chopping them down.

So you dried 1010g down to 505? Only 50% dry? You should dry down to 12% to prevent pathogens. your bud must be mouldy by now. Way to cheat and bump up your grams per plant average though.
