I’ve had these plants for a couple weeks in my other clone setup was waiting on my last batch to flower so we’ll call this week 1
It ain’t goin too smooth though I actually set my timer opposite of what it should be so they hadn’t been getting any light 😬 and I never know when to water them really cuz this living soil holds a lot of moisture. But we’ll see how this goes I somehow pulled off the last grow so this should be great. Also have a gnat infestation but we’re working on it.
Repotted to 3 gal pots roots looked good on most. You can see yellowing on skywalker og I came to the conclusion that it was under feeding and fungus gnats. I dunked the plants in organic pesticides before transplant
Also tried super cropping as you can see and I failed I think I needed to break it more
Looking at your diary, it's your Skywalker I'd be most concerned about. Some of the others are a little bit pale but that one needs some attention. Was that the one with the gnats? It could be your roots maybe. Since you just repotted, I'd give them a little more time to adjust then reevaluate. In the meantime, collect some runoff data and make sure your soil is in a good range.
Rootzone issues will look different. I don't know enough about plant diseases to rule those out. I've had a few look much worse than in pic#1 before and they never turn out well, but a little fugly is fine and woth the effort. Case in point: the duck leaved strains or the other weirdly shaped leaves on some other strains... brain farting on the other popular one. But, if it is a hideous leaf with wrinkles and inconsistent pigmentation that it does not grow out of, i kill those plants with a smile, nowadays. no hesitation. Maybe it's a virus, maybe it's a genetic mutation? don't care.. every plant i bothered that looked like that was trash even if the rate of growth kept up with other plants, so out they go.
the wrinkling in that first pic is probably genetic or ??. In 2nd picture i think that's just a leaf that's showing some hints of interveinal chlorosis.
I'd take this per plant. e.g. that last pic shows a lower / shielded leaf. If that's the only problem on the plant, i wouldn't react much to it unless it pregressed/spread.
I don't think this is the case, but if it isonly happening in heavily lit areas and top growth nodes nearby are a bit tightly packed, could be a little too much light and the leaf has initial stages of light burn or cannibailization, whatever is the cause and effect inside the plant.. means the same for us either way... less light good.
Interveinal chlorosis without any accomanying otehr symptoms is more often a trace element issue which is unlikely to be true. Check pH. May sure it has not become too acidic or too alkaline. Good thing here is a ph-lockout would normally be a smorgasborg of problems, lol, but if only slightly off maybe it's fucking with 1 trace element. A deficiency of Fe, Mn, Zn can all give interveinal chlorosis. But other things can also lock these out if they are fed at too high of a concentration.
Calcium would be the primary suspect if that is the case. If Ca is super high, it starts to block the path of other cations. Too much P or K can also block some of those out, if not all like calcium can.
So, lots of things cause interveinal chlorosis. This seems to be moving slowly, which allows you to be patient about diagnosis.
since you are in soil it's bit more of a guessing game or we could just go over your fertilization formula and give'er a tweak just based on the numbers.
I'd wait a bit longer and let this one more clearly identify itself in regard to the interveinal chlorosis. Do the simple stuff.. make sure pH is relatively safe. if you amped anything up (or down) the last couple weeks, consider reverting.
And, That first pic might just be a fugly plant genetic. i wouldn't worry but hope it doesn't stay that way or get worse, lol. I'd keep it, and i have a low bar for removing weaker plants as i said. plus, too late to employ that stategy.. it's part of your canopy and needs to pull its weight or it's just empty space.
Week 3 is going fast and bumpy. Tossed the white widow plant it was a runt gnat infested and I didn’t like seeing it anymore. Also battling fungus gnats too it’s getting super annoying. Skywalker is not doing as good as the others due to gnats. Other than that you can see that the plants are growing very fast this soil mix is amazing. Did a defoliation too first pics are before and after. Down to 6 plants from 7.
Finally have the gnats under control!!! Using a combination of beneficial bacteria, neem oil, and organic pesticides. They’re still there but only a couple so I will continue use.
Skywalker og is still double the size of all the others and drinks double the water so that is crazy idk how to deal with that I might just start watering it in between watering the other ones idk it’s crazy. Also don’t know how long we’re gonna go with this veg I want to do a pound which is ambitious for a second grow with a 300w light in a 2 x 4 but that would be cool.
Looking good tho next grow I’m only gonna do 3 strains instead of 4 or even 2 but we’ll see.
Went a little too heavy on the nitrogen I think i dialed it back a bit but plants are healthy and strong I think the silica helps a lot.
Well rqs sent me some autos im pretty sure the 2 skywalker OG plants have gone into flower or Somthing is wrong with them. They’re growing well but there’s clear signs of flowering. That’s unfortunate but I hope they’re just auto flowers and not just genetically fucked up. Regardless they grow well as you can see but just unfortunate for me. Anyways I installed my scrogg net I wasn’t going to this round but skywalker is too massive compared to other plants so she needs the net.
Transplanted to 5 gal pots these women were extremely root bound and they’re trying to adjust I think they’re recovered now but I had never seen that many roots before shit crazy.
Going into flower soon I wanted these to get bigger but I don’t want to mess up my huge skywalkers that will have a lot of the yield.
Also you can see clearly where I transplanted and the plant shot straight up. Kinda cool.
Has to make the switch to 12/12 earlier this week this is gonna be a lot of plant in a small tent. Finally got on a decent water routine but these plants are drinkin a lot of water and eatin a lot of nutrients. I’m excited for this one, no more gnats and clones have been taken.
This has been pretty hands off this week but stretch has been crazy especially with skywalker they both have doubled in size but one of them maybe even more than double. This tent is full to the max and I hope skywalker stops soon because it’s getting real close to the light. Can’t complain tho
Pretty chill week nice hedge hogs here. The soil is starting to not retain as much moisture so that’s scary, luckily I have some more room in the pots to put more dirt in so it will prob be fine. They’re drinking about 1.5L every other day and the light is on full blast 🌞🕶️ everything going pretty well other than having to knock down some branches they were too tall but it’s fine. Sea of green may be the new strategy.
Also did mass defoliation. You can’t really telll but I took a lot of leaves off to help air flow and light penetration. Added some pics of that.
Not much to report buds are showing normal/quick growth I’m really hoping I can get these to swell up nice and fat. Nutrients updated. Skywalker #1 also looks insane I’m keeping this pheno for sure shoutout RQS. Other skywalker #2 not looking so good on the yield side.
Going good buds are taking their final form I’m hoping for some real fatties and skywalker is gonna finish first. It’s also taking up all the other plants room but that’s fine. Thought I had powdery mildew but idk it might just be dust from my crusty ahh fan so I cleaned it. Cleaned out some foliage form the middle of the plants regardless.
Looking good going into week 6 special kush is suffering some under watering here and having some heat and humidity issues but they’re growing strong mostly clear with cloudy head trichomes and going to be doing a staggered harvest as special and OG kush will be done before the others.
All is well I’m going on a 7 day vacation and when I get back special kush is getting the chop. She’s on only water from here on out. The rest of them are getting another week this has been a great grow and these are gonna be good smoke if I can finish strong on the dry and cure.
Special kush has been on only water the past week and the others will start soon
I’ve been gone the past week my caregiver did a good job keeping them going but skywalker has hermed and has some seeds in the buds to my understanding it’s not that big of a deal this late that plant also has been weird genetically this whole time so we’ll see
Another week or so for special kush and another 2 weeks for the others and we’ll be choppin
Harvest is approaching only water just ripening up. Special got chopped today she looks amazing lightest yielder but looks the coolest. OG kush has big fat ass nuggs so we know it’s real now. The whole tent hermed but it wasn’t a big deal really since it was so late.
Prettiest strain out of all I had buds are rock hard and fat although the yield was the least of all strains I can tell. Curious to grow another seed if I like this bud because it looks incredible just want more yield. Very excited about this strain very nice
Nothing against RQS they replaced my seeds they gave me but this skywalker did cause my entire tent to herm. To be fair it was to light stress which was my fault but a more resistant plant wouldn’t have hermed to that small level of light stress. Again nothing against rqs they sent me free seeds replacing skywalker and northern light. Another issue is one of the plants has super airy buds the one that hermed first. The second plant has dense buds but low yield. I was super excited for this strain but by the end I was ready to be done with them. But one thing about them is they grow extremely fast in veg. It ended up being too big and I had to fuck up some branches to keep it the size of the others and that didn’t help with the airy bud situation. But maybe I’ll revisit this strain again to see if I got a better Batch.
Very good strain great smoke smells great. No complaints this is a classic and good genes. Only complaint is not the frostiest buds but that could be my fault due to my whole tent herming.
At first I was scared the buds were small and I thought it was fake. Towards the end these buds absolutely swelled. Best smell of the tent in my opinion very unique, menthol, black licorice, earthy.
