D22.
A new week begins, and I hope she will pick up some growing speed soon. She is showing it differently than the plants in my other tent, but I suspect a potassium excess in the soil.

Yesterday, I watered with SF Nematodes against fungus gnats. There isn't a problem, but I have a few gnats in my other tent, so I treated all my pots. Today, I foliar sprayed with fulvic acid, bokashi juice, and a drop of horticultural soap as a surfactant.

D28.
We're at the end of the fourth and final week of vegetation, as she is now in flower. She looks pretty crappy. She is tiny and has clawing leaves with interveinal chlorosis. No idea why. Sure, it's evident that my soil blend needs adjusting, but even so, she was tiny from the start before she even got into the soil. Also, my other two plants in the same soil blend look much better, so I doubt the soil is wholly to blame. I considered just chopping her and starting over, but since I'm not relying on a decent harvest, I think I'll just let her go to see what happens. I started some LST yesterday because why not?

@yan402, Two reasons: 1. It's more unique as most plants of this cultivar are purple, and 2. I grew a few purple cultivars in the last year and I'm a bit tired of them... ;)
@BarneyRumble420, Thanks buddy. Yeah, we'll see what happens. She was slow from day one and hadn't even poked out her taproot when I transplanted her. I only hope she is slow and not stunted. Fingers crossed! ๐ค
Wish you find the ๐ phenotype you seek my friend ๐๐โ๏ธ Also em taking some notes on proper germination, em lacking in this....I need a heat mat ๐
@Metatronix, This is just what seems to be working for me. Today, 24 hours later, I can see germination in two, and maybe(?) in the third one as well. Super fast this time, although it is too early to call anything yet.
@Dabking, I'm leaning towards genetics being part of the problem. I mean, sure โ this soil blend obviously has problems, as I can see issues in my other tent as well, but those issues are nowhere near this bad. I've considered chopping her and starting over but decided to let her ride it out. I have more than enough in my stash and am not relying on this harvest. Also, sometimes the plants surprise you. In my latest auto grow, both plants looked terrible for weeks, and I was also considering chopping and starting over. Then they exploded in size and produced my biggest auto harvest ever (over 400 grams from two autos.) So yeah, I'll just let her do her thing, no matter how terrible it'll go :D
@love_2_grow, ah gotchya. Could just be genetics as well. Sometimes the scraggly and ones dealing with issues end up producing some good stuff, albeit at a small quantity.
@Dabking, Thank you for the suggestion, but I doubt this soil lacks nitrogen as it is brand new with lots of worm castings and insect frass. Besides, I grow in living soil and don't use traditional nutrients, so I can't just "Give her some Nitrogen."
Instead, I suspect I'm dealing with a nutrient lockout due to potassium toxicity and/or a pH issue in the soil.
It's interesting to see how this plant reacts to the soil differently than the two plants in my other tent. Out of the tree plants I have in this soil, this plant looks by far the worst. Also, I don't think the soil is the complete reason here, as this plant was tiny from the start. I'm having the soil tested to see what's up.
Amigo creo que tu suelo es demasiado fuerte para ella
Las Autos son muy delicadas con el exceso de nutrientes en el suelo, y me parece que esta LSD te lo estรก diciendo con su aspecto
Puedes dejarla una semana mรกs a ver como hace el stretch, pero yo no esperarรญa gran cosa
Mi consejo: comprueba el pH y la EC del suelo. Si son ok, germina una fotoperiรณdica y aprovechalo!
@love_2_grow, las fotoperiรณdicas son mรกs tolerantes con el suelo vivo o caliente, pero sigue germinando en un suelo tipo Light Mix.
Las dos o tres primeras semanas no necesitan mรกs nutrientes de los que aporta un suelo de este tipo
@nonick123, I think you are 100% correct. The soil is too hot. I suspect too much potassium. I also think you are right that the LSD plant won't grow much bigger. It's OK, though, since I don't need the harvest.
I plan to put a photoperiod in the tent after this grow.
I am growing this same strain and my girl was super tiny until the last five days. Growing at a rate of an inch to inch and a half per day now. She looks super healthy, though. You inspired me previously to pick up this strain, FYI :)
