Well, well, well. I need to say she’s a very complicated girl. Last week I had to deal with a light overwatering, which caused several leaves to yellow and die, and this week I had the opposite problem. It’s not easy to understand what she wants, when she wants it. But I think I’m almost there.
This week, as you can see from the photos, I added my 384w led panel back to the room, together with the 600w cobs panel. Unfortunately those blue lights are still not working, so the panel will output just 284w. CO2 bags are doing great, and now all the leaves are praying the sky. The only problem I notice is that all the leaves tips are fading to white/light yellow. I need to figure out what it is, but at the moment I think it could be zinc deficiency, light burn, or a first sign of overfeeding.
Day 85: Feed @ 1ml/L (lowest dosage), and 6L of tap water. Leaves started to point down, so I felt like the solution was too hot (even because there was a lot of new bat guano, algae and neem flour on the surface of the soil).
Day 87: Today many leaves were pointing down, but it wasn’t related to overfeeding. She was thirsty and just needed water. So I watered her (6 liters of tap water), and a few hours later she was feeling so good that all the leaves started pointing up to the sky again. I’m now pretty sure the best way to feed her is to alternate one time nutrients and one time just water.
Dude! Lookn great and gotta be coming to the end in short order. How many weeks u think u have left? Read the comment and have to say the following - #1. Think we’ve all seen nute def. and toxicity on GD/in our grows at some point and while there are signs on her you obviously caught it and rectified it early (in all instances). You’re wayyy too hard on yourself 😉. I sincerely doubt this plant has suffered too much as a result👍. Sign of a diligent grower homie😀. #2. I agree with your diagnosis - that spotting looks like cal. Def. to me too. Good news is u gotta be close to the finish now and I don’t think it will have any overt impact on harvest. In short - you rocked this scrog regardless and I’d love to see the follow up grow now that you have some experience with the strain. Been a great read bro, we are not worthy!!!! 👍👊😎.
@Silky_smooth, Hey there!!!! Don’t worry for the ones who died! I’m sure you’ll do better things next time, and I’ll be following again, and again, and again, until you’ll reach the harvest! Come one little Silky!!!! 😎💪
mate , you are amazing for your perseverance with this one. . you deserve a brilliant result and have worked to create one. Brilliant job and so rooting for you
@TOTEM, My pleasure mate. You have taken a hit for the team for sure and satisfied a lot of possible growers of grinspoon. Knowing its difficult reputation and lengthy flowering time has cost you immensely no doubt. Thanks for showing its potential and the sacrifice needed to grow this masterpiece. Barneys Seeds need to see this grow and use your agreed pics to show it off properly. When your sat back with a fridge full of chocolate ( hash brownie ones maybe?) and a bowl full of her fruit , you will be grinning from ear to ear , with slits for eyes and solving the worlds problems easily !!!. Top notch mate
@Tonino, Thank you brother, comments like this are always VERY motivating, and I never take them for granted! You know, I was thinking about how GD community stimulates growers to continuously improve over time, and it works very well! And what worked pretty well since the very start was pro growers like you motivating beginners growers like me to learn and explore new and fascinating ways to grow these plants. So thank you x2 👊
@Ga4rd2en0er, Haha! Yes I'm still doing some tests vaping at different temps, and trying to define the high in a proper way by comparing more trips and personal sensations! I think I'll take some more days, but not much more!! Fingers crossed! 😃
I applaude you for your patience. Its such a prehistoric looking version of cannabis and i am interested in hearing what you have to say about the smell, taste and, of course, the buzz!
cant believe shes down after all that bro thought she was gonna go on and on I would have not lasted as long as you have... at least other 12 wk strains will seem like a breeze to you now iv been checking magnetous diaries and noticed he not been about will he be updating some harvest pics of his ? looking forward to seeing some dry pics and a harvest report from you you killed it 👊👊👍
@biggreens420, Thank you very much bro!! Your support has been really precious like always!! I'd call it essential!!!! Like the first one you sent me when I joined GD! High five!!! 🙌👊
I admire your grow so much I'm practicing with some unknown seeds while waiting for my good stuff to come so I do it right. I appreciate the detail you took!
I'm not an expert, and many many people around know much more than me, even you @TOTEM. But i cant tell you my experience this summer. I had a awesome Lemon Zkittle, that begin to do the same as yours in the leafs, i asked to a friend and he tell me to irrigate adding "Growing Base nutrient", i can tell you that it didn't fixed it, but it helped much, as the growing base nutrient slow down the yellowing much. Enough to end the harvest.
Apart of this, i will tell you again Super awesome job in all ways!!! (Growing, Imaginering and post-processing).
Green regards!!!!
@Cogollo_eu, Thanks for sharing your experience bro. Natural senescence will turn leaves to yellow because plants will suck energies from them for the final phase of flowering. Sometimes that natural food is not enough, so you have to add a little more by your own, if you’re still not in the final flush phase. That’s what happened to me!
Thank you for the kind words bro!! So much appreciated. My old Silver Haze scrog helped me a lot with the imaginering process of this king of scrog. The fact that you’re growing a sativa that will stretch a lot when you flip her to 12/12, and how you get slowly used to their net/scrog filling rate. It’s all about trial and error.
Happy growing bro!!!!
Must be driving you crazy you do everything right and she punishes you for it😭 hang in there mate fingers crossed she starts putting in as much effort as you have🤞🤞🤞
