Day 11 update: Came back from being away for 2 days(days 9 and 10) and had some awesome new growth, but I noticed 2 very peculiar things about two of my 4 Assed Monkeys. Besides the twisting first set of true leaves(which I think is because my PH was off for the first feeding and general tap water), I noticed 4AM #2 has some very strange new growth coming in, looks likes it's missing something, not sure if this plant is in the process of topping itself? Anyway, will observe and see what happens. Second thing I noticed was a weirdly coloured spot on the second set of true leaves on my 4AM #3, just a mild discolouration, will ask what this is. Other than that I'm very pleased with the grow so far, looking forward to the next 3 weeks! Day 14 Update: Gave the girls their first feed of veg nutes yesturday, seem to be taking it well, no signs of tox or deficienes. Lowered the lights today by a few inches at a time and waiting 2 hours to see how they react. Right now I'm happy with the way they are looking at 50cm(20 inches). Might lower it again in a few days to 45cm(18 inches). Other than the wierd growth on 4AM #2 I like the way this is going, a bit smaller than the White Crack I have going next to these. I'm even thinking I might be surprised by 4AM #2, who knows? Oh I also noticed one of the leaves on the 3rd set of true leaves on 4AM #1 coming in looks to be forked 😅 wierd mutation but cool?

EelGrowsstarted grow question 6 years ago
The leaf twisting and contorting i'm seeing in the first set of true leaves; is that due to incorrect PH(my tap water has 7.7 ph)? Also the discoloration on my 4AM #3's second set of true leaves(only one has the discoloration), can anyone tell me what that is? Is it bad?

Hi @EelGrows! I see the twisting/curling leaves you're talking about, and I also see you're already having some purple stems. What's your night temp? Are you applying a wet/dry cycle with quick rotations? In this situation I would buffer the pH to the optimal pH range for soil (~6.0-6.5 with most of the feedings at 6.2), try to raise the temperatures a bit (by 2-3 degrees at least), and try to stick to a wet/dry cycle, I.E. one day wet with nutrients, one day dry, one day wet with plain pH'd water, etc... I would also consider improving the airflow, my guess is that you currently don't have a nice & smooth continuous breeze onto your babies, so try to put a small rotating fan slightly blowing onto the canopy. If things don't get better after a few days, come back in here with more details&pics so we can help you out to refine the diagnosis and review your parameters. Hope this will help, keep us up-to-date and happy growing 👊

So closing week 7 now and my 4AM are showing signs of deficiencies again. I watered(with nutes) ph'd around 7 past few times and the runoff has still been ~5.9, indicating acidic soil(nute lockout)?At this point, you think it's best I just flush with plain tap water(ph ~7.7)?

Hi Eel, you're experiencing PH fluctuations and maybe yes, lockout but mostly due to the very high PH of the incoming watering. This is causing mayhem in your soil . The PH of rain water is 5.5 never go too much higher than that, 5.9 is fine 6.0 is fine anything more than that will cause issues. That's because different nutrients are absorbed at different PHs starting with micro nutrients at 5.7 and up. So your soil is now struggling to buffer up to 6.5 where run off should be. Stop feeding it 7PH it's causing all your problems. Yep, simple as that ! The leaves already affected by phone fluctuations won't recover but the problem should stop spreading pretty fast. Hope this helps ! 🚀

Good Luck on your grow, I’m following along. I am completing my first grow and had a 4AM in my tent. I will be harvesting in the next week or so. You can smell the grape crinkle for sure. I was also concerned with my watering schedule and wasn’t sure how much to give. After the seedling stage I began to water twice a week with about 1.25 L. I then switched to every other day for watering with an occasional 3rd day if they felt heavy still. I also watered them with 1.75L a few times when the smart pot felt too dry. I used 5 gallon smart pots and feel I didn’t underwater my plants but that I didn’t saturate enough of the outer soil to get full potential. This is also my first grow so I’m just learning too. Good Luck

@Electro19, I thought mine were growing a bit slowly at first too, but I think it's just the 4AM phenotypes that stay short more often than not. I doubt more veg nutes would help, atleast I doubt it would have with mine. I think maybe more/better light at a further distance during early veg would have helped them stretch at the start. I was afraid of overstretching my seedlings so I put the light rather close and I think that's why ALL(the White crack I'm growing alongside these 4AM) my plants stayed extremely short during veg and only showed stretch at the start of flower like yours. I'm measuring height daily not so I can see what's going on for sure. Seems they are still slowly stretching out a bit.

Electro19commented6 years ago
@EelGrows, I didn’t get the stretch I had imagined with any of my 3 plants. I felt I had the biggest stretch between weeks 3 and 4 which at the time I thought was the final veg phase but in reality was my beginning flower stretch. I had a little more growth after that but my 4AM stayed under 15” total. The Mephisto website says it is on the small side of medium but I’m not sure what that means. I will definitely give veg nutes earlier in the seedling stage next time to try and jumpstart the veg. I’m not sure if the smaller size is normal or if it’s something I was responsible for. Next time will only teach me more.

@Electro19, Thanks! Coincidence! I've been keeping a close eye on your grow mate! Since it's my first time I've been comparing my plant's growth rate to others around the same age. At the moment the only thing I'm a little concerned about is them not stretching much more. Right now they are about 28-30 CM tall, just starting to show first signs of frost. First time growing mephistos so I'm very excited. About the watering; Yeah I realized when I watered 2l and still didn't get any real runoff that I needed to up it. Decided 3l was a nice place to start next. I'd think I got something like 10-15% runoff with 3l, which I'm more than happy with. Will stick to 3l till the end of the grow now, probably will have to up the frequency. I gave em their first 3l watering on wednesday, thought for sure I would have to rush and feed them today after work(saturday), they don't feel completely empty yet, probably in 4-6 hours. I saw 1-2 fungus gnats this week so I want to let the soil dry out extra well. Will have to keep an eye out for them. You think I'm going to get a atleast a bit more stretch now that I'm in week 6?(Day 38 today)

Hey there I was just curious if your plants had any reddish color to them? I notice your question mentions discoloration and it could be the lighting giving #3 a red/purplish tint to the stems and what not?

@Experimentgreen, I just use imgur to post pictures, don't really use it to ask questions. But I'm sure you can.

@DeaneR, Thanks! If all goes to plan, this summer season outdoors I'll be doing 2x Midnight Mass(photo strain) and 2 auto runs(both will be 1x C4 Auto, 1x Sour Hound Auto, 1x Zkittlez OG Auto) spaced about 3-4 weeks apart.

@StonedWolf, Thanks! I couldn't be happier! Only thing that kind of fucked up this harvest for me was driving into a random police checkpoint the day before... License is gone for now and probably a large fine(blood was taken for testing and i know my thc values are through the roof lmao). I've been driving for 14 years now and never had an accident and any large speeding tickets(at most 10kmh too fast on the highway). Sucks it being illegal where I live... Oh well live and learn. Atleast I got this great stuff to smoke for now! And walking is good for me anyway! 😅

Great diary Eel loving the details , I see why you're trying to add 7ph water, but what matters is the incoming pH more than the outgoing pH, pH of rainwater is 5.5, go with God for best results you know 😉 anyway let me know if you have any more questions I ll do my best to answer.

EelGrowscommentedweek 26 years ago
Thank you everyone for the answers. I have 2 fans blowing in the tent atm, the plants are being moved slighty by the breeze. Will get atleast 1 more, maybe 2. My night time temps are around 21 celsius. Day time 24 celsius. RH is 50-55 and now that i have ph down all waterings will be ph'd to 6.2-6.5ph. I'm not quite sure if i'm underwatering; they arent showing any signs of underwatering. I water every 2 days now. Will read up on applying rhizz as a foliar spray(havent done it as i was worried about the lights then burning the wet leaves).
