Day 48 - Plants continue to recover from cal-mag deficiency, but otherwise are doing well. Got a foliar spray of some calmag and nutrients to help them along.
Day 49 - Nothing to report, just waiting on the ladies to mature fully at this point. Gals got another dose of water + cal-mag tonight, about a gallon per pot.
Starting to see trichomes develop on the buds now
Day 50 - Plants continue to recover, probably will need to do an additional defoliation in the next few days.
Day 51 - Plants continue to look better, they got a foliar feed of calmag tonight along with some TigerBloom+BigBloom.
Day 52 - Gals got another defoliation today, I focused to taking the bad looking leaves from the calmag deficiency and whatever was blocking flowering sites.
Day 53 - Fed 1/3rd gallon of nutes and the remaining 2/3rds of the gallon with calmag water. Starting to figure out better settings for flower close-ups under the grow light.
Day 54 - Just pictures today. Got a pocket microscope that I'll be using when the time is right (probably another 3ish weeks) to verify trichome state for harvest.
Gold leaf #1 has developed a white substance on one of its seed leaves. Can anyone tell me what this is, and if I need to do anything to combat it it necessary? Going to let the Gold Leaf dry a little bit (no water) over the next 24 hours and see if that helps.
if that is a peat plug or anything like it, it is void of nutrients and plants need them to grow.
It also looks to wet and waterlogged that's not good for the baby roots.
Double check you feed concentrations and watering habits. less is more in terms of water in seedlings and a week feed should be good for mediums void of nutrients.
Best Of Luck!
For people who use Blumat systems, what's the procedure for mixing in nutrients/supplemental things for growth? The Blumat system pulls water when the soil dries past a certain point, so what's the best rule for feeding in that case? Shut the system "off" a few days pre feed?
Your plants look really good. My grow setup is very similar to yours. My plants are in day 15 starting wk3. Keep up the good work. GDP is a great strain. One of my wife’s favorites. We love the purple strains the best.
