So we had a rough start at the beginning of the week. 2 days after I did her nute change, I left town for 2 days, and during this period, PH spiked. This is not a common occurance for me so was completely unexpected. Because of this, we experienced some extensive damage to some old growth leaves. The damage has slowed greatly at this point, and she still seems to be growing in height. No damage to any leaves near the buds, just the lower old growth ones. As such, I remved them when they were mostly yellow and damaged.
On the Plus side, we have gotten temperatures well into the green zone for the tent. This was accomplished by installing my proper fan that I still had in the box. I always felt it was too powerful, and it yet may be, but right now, its keeping air flowing and temperature under control.
Humidity has also been extensively corrected this week with the installation of as humidifier. Until the new ligh arrived, I had no clue my humidity was slow low ( it came with a monitor ). I have gotten it up from its 18% average to 36%+ which is a great improvement. I may never see 50% in this tent, but I am much happier now.
Day 24 - Damn this calcium? deff. Some of the oldest biggest leaves seem to be taking the brunt of the hit. PH @ 5.85, Tent Temp @ ~27c, Humidity @ 18%, PPM @ 400
Day 25 - Leaves are showing less neut burn at this point, but still occurring. Hopefully the fixed PH resolves this. PH @ 5.75, Tent Temp @ ~26c, Humidity @ 35%, PPM @ 380
Day 26 - Removed 4 lower leaves that appear completely dead from what I beleive to be Calcium Deff. PH Holding at 5.75, Tent Temp @ ~25c, Humidity @ 35%, PPM @ 330
Day 27 - Plant did not seem stunted by the removal of those 4 leaves. Minor deff still showing, but very little comparitivley. PH @ 5.75, Tent Temp @ ~24c, Humidity @ 36%, PPM @ 270
Day 28 - Plant is doing well. 8.5" tall, getting nice and bushy. Started a pretty odour. PH @ 5.70, Tent Temp @ ~24c, Humidity @ 33%, PPM @ 250. Humidity dropped a bit as the humidifier glitched.
Necrotic Leaves caused by Calclium defficiencies. Should they be removed or should they be left on. I removed them from my plant. It appears to have been caused by a PH spike while I was away for 2 days. Plant seems to be recovering, but I removed the leaves yesterday. Thanks.
So..my perspective on when i had leaves that got damaged, I'd evaluate each leaf and if it still had some areas that still appeared healthy i would try and let them ride it out. But if the damage is so severe then were facing the leaf not being able to perform its basic photosynthetic properties, then i would remove. However a leaf thats only partially damaged (spots, etc) the plant can still pull some nutrients and positive plant products from that leaf before it completely dies out. I always see my leaves as photosynthetic real estate and the more available area, the better. (Well up until flowering defoliation time)
I hope the leaf damage stops here and doesn't continue to affect others. Keep up the fight! ✌️🍀
@Autofeather, Thanks. I think week 6 was the worst for me, waiting wise. All home stretch after that lol. I cant wait to try this strain again, just so many others I want to try as well :)
@JerMeds,Thanks. I have been really happy with how she has been doing so far, especially considering my skill levels. Just tells me the equipment is doing most of the work :)
@SHAMMYDOG, I have been extremely fortunate to not have run into any issues as of yet with Green Algae. I will check with a couple buddies who also grow hydro and see if they have had any issues. If I hear anything, I will pass it along.
Nice diary man! Purple kush has always been popular where I live and I’m finally giving it a try this grow and I’m pumped there’s another diary with good information I can compare too, I’m growing it with the exact same breeder also! I’ll have 6 of them in my 3x3 tent and by the looks of your monster it might be too many 😂 I’ll be posting week one in a couple days check it out if your curious!
happy growing man!!
Mid Weed update.
Trichomes are looking about 90% cloudy at this point. No sign of any turning amber, but as of yet, I have been unable to confirm if this strain will or will not go Amber. Most of this cloudiness has come on in the last few days.
Stigma are steadily shrinking and turning a reddish brown color at this point. Approximately 40% have made this change. Most of the change appears to have been in the last few days as well.
Some quick measurements taken today. She has pretty much stopped upward stretch/growth. Any that is being seen appears to be the main cola just filling out in all directions. At this time, the main cola is approximately 7" tall and 2" wide. Can wait to see how thick she gets over the next 2 weeks.😁
