Overall, everything seems to be going very well at the moment. The plants are growing faster than ever and the space on the sides is getting cramped. We still have plenty of space for them to stretch, but the upcoming week will probably be the last one in veg before we'll switch to 12/12. The roots of the plants already reached the bottom of their fabric pots.
Topping:
We decided to top the three largest plants (2x PCK, 1x Gelato). This was only done because we wanted the smaller gelato (top left) to catch up a little. I'm curious how that will work out.
If all the plants had been the same size, we probably wouldn't have done it, because the space at the sides is already tight.
Lamp distance:
As the plants grew, we forgot to adjust the lamp distance until the distance was slightly below 30 cm. The upper leafs are currently looking a little stressed as a result, but it is not too bad. Right now the distance to the lamp is 50cm.
Fungus Gnats:
We added some sf-nematodes to the soil to get rid of fungus gnats. It is unclear where the gnats came from and it could be completely unrelated to the grow. However, we gave the nematodes to all plants so it does not become a bigger problem.
I just noticed that the lower leafs are dying, while other leafs are getting yellowish spots. Is this some kind of nutrient deficiency? The leaf with the yellow spots is near the air intake.
They didn’t get any fertilizer except root juice since the soil is still somewhat fresh.
Your plants are in tip top condition
So, the issue is. She's eating the closest food source when she can't get it from the soil.
So, imo, I reckon you left the soil dry up too often, no your plants don't need to be droopy to shoe this neither. Any dry period, that's the start process of your eating those leafs at the bottom for nourishment..
Just make sure to keep your soil moist. You can let it dry up yes. As that's how roots breath. When soil dries, air is drawn into the sub from that process. But u just let it go a lil too far.
No real issue here. If there was any other issue than this.
I'd be looking for signs up above, there's none..
I was just inspecting my purple cookie kush plant and noticed that there might be pollen sacs. Am I correct with that assumption? If yes, how would you proceed?
Yes, looks like a hermie.. If the plant is small and you can only find a few pollen sacs, I would just remove the sacs and keep an eye on the plant if more pollen sacs keep growing and keep plugging them off. If the plant isnt too big and you're able to go through the plant regularly and make sure to remove any pollen sacs, it shouldnt have a drastic impact. But naturally if you have lots of plants and the hermie is able to pollinate the other plants, you will be finding a lot of hermie seeds in your buds.
@Limez Danke! Stickstoffmangel halte ich auch noch irgendwo für plausibel. Wir düngen aber eigentlich nach dem Basic-Düngeschema von GreenBuzz und orientieren uns an der oberen Dosierungsempfehlung. Vielleicht ist der Dünger für unsere Situation einfach nicht so gut geeignet.
