12/3 Day 93 Watered with 2 ml/ltr Sensi Grow A&B and 1 ml/ltr CalMag and Big Bud. Water in 6,42 pH and 814 ppm. Runoff 6.38 pH and 957 ppm.
Seem to have fixed the soil pH with the dolomite lime. Trichomes showing still not ready to chop.
12/6 Day 96 Watered wutg .5 ml/ltr CalMag so that I can pH my RO water. In 6.65 pH and 108 ppm. Runoff 6.34 pH and 692 ppm.
12/7 Day 97 Still not loving the look of my plants as I thought that re-amending the soil was going to fix it all. I learned something new today. My favorite part of growing beside the product is all of the things I keep learning. Any who, apparently Calcium can lock out the Potassium which is maybe why I am still showing signs of deficiency. Going to do somewhat of an experiment today. My RO should THEORETICALLY be close to 7.0 pH neutral since there are litte to no hydrogen ions it is not easy to get a pH measurement which is why I always add a touch of CAlMag on my non feed days. I decided to try just using pH down from General Hydroponics since that is the brand I use after adding nutes to raise or lower my pH back where I need it. I took my reverse osmosis water and added 1 ml of pH down from General Hydroponics to it and was able to measure the pH to 6.5pH. So it works! I used about 10 liters of this to semi flush my Mimosa Cake to hopefully get her calcium lowered and get her to the finish line. After I did this I was at 6.54 pH and 279 ppm. Figured this should help tremendously so I then waited about 30 minutes after it was finished flushing and draining to add a regular feed of 2 ml/ltr Sensi Bloom A&B 1ml/ltr Big Bud. Final Water was 6.36 pH and 643 ppm with runoff numbers of 6.67 pH and 371 ppm. I am happy with that so lets see what happens next week.
I have used Happy Frog before with no issues. I am running my first 420 Fast Buds seeds and they seem to have nute burn for the last few weeks no matter what I do. Is this maybe a deficiency and not burn?
Do you See how Close are the internodes of your plant? IT avmix light was very Strong Here and did some damage. And die the strong lightning
The plantsexchabe of nutes and water we're very high.
So water evaporated nutrients stayed ( burnt leaftips)
My advise.
Dimm Back you light to 60 percent and Look how she Changes. She should grow in inchwide internodes.
She was looking beautiful up until about 7 days ago. Noticed very minute brown edges on a few upper leaves. Everyday saw a bit more until I got this! Is this too much or not enough nutrients? pH issue??
Thats Potassium, or lack there of. Either pH is off or your aren't giving it enough, or it's locked out from too much calcium or overall salt build up in the root zone.
@Mrs_Larimar, thank you so much for your help. I was thinking light burn instead of nute burn early on but then I couldn'f find any pics that matched mine online so I thought maybe deficiency or nute burn. I have dropped lights back to 60% today. I was going by PAR but not taking into account these are autoflowers and not photoperiods.
@CannaMom2,
Thats bad then.
I honestly thought it had gone away somewhat.
My mum was really bad with it and my uncle got it and it started so many other complications. He was in a coma for weeks on a ventilator. Loads of other problems. He's better now but nowhere near the man he was and never will be.
Tomorrow is a gift not a given right (to be profound lol)
@Dabking, Thanks! Second grow so still learning alot. First grow finished but buds were not very attractive, kind of airy, and just not what I expected. However, they still smoke good so not a total loss with that one.
Yours looks be growing similar to mine. The fan leaves are on extra long stems/petioles.
I'm in Coco but I've found no nute burn at all at doses where some photos would burn. I'm about 75% max manufacturers guideline dose.
She's at day 22 and 12". I wasn't going to do any lst but I succumbed and bent the main stem over
@SkunkleDamo, yes they are doing pretty similar. Yours seems to be growing a little faster than mine. At day 17 I am only 5 inches tall. I had a little light burn when I tried to jump intensity too fast but no nute burn which is great since Happy Frog is pretty hot. I have never tried coco so that is for a future endeavor once I lock in this peat based growing. I noticed a tiny bit of browning on a lower leaf of both plants but I am pretty sure I got them wet when I was trying to mist down my walls to lower humidity faster.
Wow buddy!! super nice buds
What an amazing grow so far - good job and well done 🤝
Happy Growing & cant wait for your upcoming weeks 🌱
Cheers, Bud Boutique 👩🌾
Hey there.
I'm a bit unsure on autos and when they are ready. I am at 69 days and still lots of white pistils. Trikes are turning but I'm gonna let her go to 80+ days. I'm watching yours as they are of similar age.
@CannaMom2,
Lol. I just checked my trichomes and they have nearly , if not all now turned cloudy. About 20% amber. She had started to foxtail so as soon as I saw 80/20 I chopped. I'm putting some pictures of my dissected plant. I haven't trimmed yet just hung to dry
@SkunkleDamo, Your plant is GEORGOUS!! I am so jealous. From what I have learned you definitely want to have most trichomes cloudy and 30% ish amber. (Not an expert just what I have learned from research and speaking with other auto growers) I will have to do this strain again as my harvest is going to be pretty small due to the issues I had in the beginning. My girl looks like a dwarf compared to that beauty. Mine is smelling pretty nice and I grabbed my cannon good camera today to get some pictures of the trichomes. Trichomes on mine are still not quite there either and she is at day 68 If I am thinking correctly. Other plant in tent is Mimosa Cake and it has a LONG way to go but has more bud sites than I have ever seen on every branch and already smells delicious. With Mimosa Cake I am at a point where I just don't know what leaves I can take still to get her enough light. My husband was watching me dance around defoliating it and he said I looked like the cat head bobbing around the plant. So crazy!
@CannaMom2,
Re her trichomes, on mine they are the biggest most bulbous trichomes I have ever seen . A real pleasure to see.
I am at day 70 since sprout now. I think she will need another week yet. I don't want to take this one down too early. I have some strawberry kush drying so won't need to chop prematurely which is a flaw if mine.
@Dabking, strawberriez was amazing. Mimosa Cake has a chlorophyll taste still so curing it longer. Hopefully I didn’t mess it up because the smell is so delicious!
