This week was also good. Every second day I spayed neem oil on the plants. This week all 3 plants got a shot of water (each 3l).
Runtz is the bushiest and seems to be the strongest of the three girls (2. Kalini Asia and 3. Critical).
Several leaves of my Kalini Asia plant are curling/twisted (see pictures). Since I don't see any pest insects at the moment I don't have a glue what it could be. Anyone knows what it is (today I started to spray neem oil on the leaves.)? Thanks in advance for your help!
Might just be growing pains and nothing to worry about, Could be something in the medium is off and causing the abnormal growth like a PH swing.
If its progressing on new growth then its something to look into. Get runoff readings or a slurry test done then adjust from there. Do it slowly not aggressively if its soil.
Good Luck!
Since I started with 12h daylight/dark rhythm a lot of leaves started to turn yellow (older and lower ones first, some branches turned red). What I did:
PH value=6.5. I added CalMag--no effect. I flushed the soil --no effect. Do you have any ideas? Thx green thumb-friends 👏
@Bunterbiber, dank dir für die Antwort! Genau so halte ich es jetzt im Moment auch. Tagsüber r raus und die Nacht drinnen. Das wird schon, irgendwie bekommen wir die schon groß und reif! ✌️
@Tiischerius_Sativus, Serwutz! Ja der Stress kommt wahrscheinlich von einem recht laxen Zeitplan bzgl. Licht und Dunkel (schwankend von Tag zu Tag zw. 11-13 Stunde). Habe sie wohl damit etwas zu krass gestresst. Schau mer mal, wie es weiter geht....
Hehe, ja die Autos machen Spaß...
Hi. I've read, that most growers run into Calcium and Magnesium deficits in week 4 or so. Not from the best source of information, though. They say "CalMag" fertilizer should be used to counter it. ... or look up "Biotabs". Could you please, maybe, list the fertilizers you use and the amount used. Still: I'm not an expert. Nice plants. They really are taking off.
@allways_beginner, yes I know this page and I already worked myself through. The situation with the hanging leafs improved already...I just put them on the window where they now get direct sunlight. It seems that now they need more than just the blue spectrum of the LED light.
... i bought neem oil and kali soap against insects like lice and such. Just saying it ... would get it now to be ready if any pest hits the plants. It is both deluted in water ; ) and then sprayed on the plants regularly to strengthen them / harden them against insects. And: If you have a pest, the buggers are drowned by spraying them ... .
@allways_beginner, ;-)...during the last two days the number of the little sciarids increased much. I'm pretty sure that it has to do with the fact that the soil is always wet on top (which is very good for the grubs of the flies)...
@allways_beginner, no, I don't know this kind of fertilizer (this is my first grow - I'm a bloody beginner ;-) ). During veg phase I'll use the organic fertilizer Italpollina (4:4:4) and for the flowering phase I intend to apply Compo Sana Grow flower (organic version)
Hi. I may be wrong, but i maybe see white outlines on the leaves. They could be possible chalk deposits from the chalk in your tab water. I would not spray the plants with tab wather, since the deposits can be origin of various diseases. I'm not an experienced grower, but i had orchids ... and it was the case with them. In general: I recommend rain water if available. I keep watching your diary ... ... not that you would mind. Looks like a good diary. Im interested in the nutrient side of the grow : ) . ... 👋
@Bunterbiber, I countered my overwatering issue with holes in the sides of the pots. The pots dry out quicker, this on the other side, requires a more frequent watering shedule .... when using small pots. By the example "Air Pot" ... you can google it.
@allways_beginner, thanks for your hints! The white outlines are coming from a little stupid test I did (liquid nutrients, which I sprayed on them), when I had the over-watering issue. At that point of time I was not sure, if the over-watering was the root cause of the issues.
Yes, you're completely right....rain water would be perfect. I was collecting some rain water, but since I'm living in an apartment house in which I don't have the possibility to collect it in bigger volumes. Therefore currently I don't have a perfect solution at the moment.
Hi. Sieht super aus. Damals : ) als ich noch jung war ... hatte ich outdoor Probleme mit Nacktschnecken. Schneckenkorn half ... . Das Zeug wurde einfach weiträumig ausgestreut, aber halt nicht auf die Wurzeln.
Hey Ho!
Die Ladies sehen super aus!
Ich bin auch kompletter Beginner was das growen angeht. Wie hältst du es mit dem Standort bei dem bescheidenen Wetter, lässt du sie trotzdem draußen? Ich habe auch 2 Critical Photos, aber noch 6 andere Autos. Bei den Automatics scheinen die Temperaturen sich sehr negativ bemerkbar zu machen was das Wachstum angeht. (Laut diverser Foren) Also rein und raus räumen je nach Wetter.
Das könnte ich mir ja dann bei den Photos sparen, wenn deine auch durchgehend draußen waren und ich mir sie so anschaue. :)
Liebe Grüße aus der Eifel und viel Spaß & Erfolg weiterhin!!
@DeMaggo, Hallöle, zuerst Dir mal viel Spaß und Erfolg für deinen Grow!
Ja, das Wetter ist gerade echt nicht so nett und bremst das Wachstum etwas aus.
Ich lasse sie trotzdem über den Tag draußen, da sie dort mehr Licht als drinnen abbekommen. Nachts bringe ich sie aber generell wieder rein.
Liebe Grüße zurück in die Eifel und ich drücke Dir die Daumen!
