Mom’s second indoor dutch passion grow!

Me too, i’ve fallen right down the rabbit hole! Love it.

Okay everyone, thank you so much for all of your observations and advice. The CalMag seems to have stopped any further damage progression up the plant but she does look pretty green. So, I’m cutting the CalMag dose in half for now and I’m going to try some foliar feeding too. I’m hesitant to remove it all together because it seems to have worked! I’m upping my bloom nutes, part A & B to 2mls per litre or 8 mls per gallon at day #30 because that’s what my feeding schedule calls for. From what I have seen so far, the Sensi Bloom PH perfect nutes only take the PH to 5.8 when used at full strength (4mls/litre) so with the amount I’m using- I average a PH of 6.2. My feeding schedule maxs out at 2mls/litre or 8mls per gallon based on the theory that autoflowers require about half the nutrients that a photoperiod plant would use. I’m going to watch my plants and adjust the feed as per needed hoping that I can find that sweet spot for magical growth! As I’ve said, overall the plants don’t look too bad and they’re almost halfway through. Thanks again to all the growers who took the time to comment and offer advice on my newbie grow.

Mom, Experts have chimed in, and uncharacteristically, @CRiSPrGrow and @@Athos disagree, which suggests to me there are nuggets of truth in each of their offerings. Weed makes us mental. Do due diligence but avoid over thinking. Feel the plants as much as monitor them. The numbers count, but not as much as we often believe. She’s grown without our assistance for many thousands of years. Try soil sometime - less yield. More complex flavor. Enjoy your harvest

@Kilgoretrout Ponytailing is among the many misguided practices rooted in the mistaken belief that pistils/calyxes need direct light in order to multiply. The name refers to the shape a leaf takes after twisting the leaflets so its bulk is temporarily reduced, and light can reach bud sites. But flowers are not photosensitive, as you know. Bud sites do perform better when they have space to grow, and for that reason induced stretching (why do plants naturally stretch?) selective defoliation and LST prove useful. But to intentionally and repeatedly bruise leaves seems counterproductive I agree. Time will tell. It’s an industry in infancy still. We’re basically still moonshiners figuring it out as we go. Oh, and if anyone is looking for a novel to read that will blow your mind and have you question your reality, check out Slaughterhouse 5. Despite the title, it’s hilarious.

drooling!!!!! thats perfection

hey moms, hope i answered your question, i love this ressource : https://www.growweedeasy.com/cannabis-symptoms-pictures let me know if this helps you too !

Hey chronic mama i was thinking about a few things that can trigger a look like yours, and of coarse calcium is in there like you mentioned, but phosphorus and potassium deficiencies can cause that discoloration also, since the rest of your plant appears so healthy I'm hoping you're just working with a deficiency rather than a toxicity since thats much more of a pain to fix. Happy hunting. ✌️

Sweet jesus that's an immense result ! congrats 👏 👏 👏 👏 a great diary by the way ! loads of great info on here ! 👊 🚀

Hey bud looking good. I do have a few suggestions take them or leave them, I don’t know your level so I mean no disrespect but did read your question though not sure exactly what picture you mean. One with natural light has some leaves I would pull off. If you are mid flower I would switch from a cal/mag to a mag sulfur product like powder koolbloom or what ever you like. Also things like cal/mag out of 350 ppm there is only around 50ppm of mag in there. NPK makes a b1 thst has a good amount of mag + increases mycorrhizae population of you use it. I see dark green leaves, and purple stems but I also think you been watering very often but a low amount. Thst is kind of strange but I assume you do this because you are in such a big bucket? If you don’t already consider taking it in steps? From root cube in a dome to a solo cup, to a 1 gallon then to a 3 gallon(if flowering). There’s a bit of reasons to do ths one is to build the root ball also helps largely with over watering. This allows you to add to under a light, they will also receive less light same when bunched together allowing you to run just a small light. You had some purple stems as well. This can be a few things but points to a shortness of mag along with the yellow at the bottom and the darker green. You may start to see them cupping upward. This can be from too much light or to much watering. I don’t know all your details just input. But your flowering looks nice 👍

hello. well done. i like ur stuff. did u just used 315 watts of led for flowering phase?

UaaaaaaOOOOOO :O

Hey Mom, If your growing in coco along with LEDs and using RO water you probably should be using CalMag, start to finish (flush). But I'm such a newb, so I could be wrong. Peace

You want to use the cal/mag up till around 4th week of flower, then you can switch to a mag sulfur like a sweet product. It’s a ripening, powder koolbloom use last few weeks before finishing. Only use a very small amount. Both those and the npk b1 will supply a good amount of mag. But replace cal/mag with a sweet product. Don’t care if you pick a smell, that’s only for people appeal does nada doe the plant. https://www.amazon.com/Botanicare-BCNSSWR8-8-Ounce-Supplement-Plants/dp/B004U3T6OY/ref=sr_1_15?ie=UTF8&qid=1547887433&sr=8-15&keywords=botanicare+sweet My suggestion would be to get a PPM meter. Probably be your most important tool. Then take your water test the PPM. Add 5 mil to the water and document each of your nutrients and how much salt each one has. This way you know how many ppm you are giving her. Keep with the cal/mag, don’t mind the nitrogen it’s needed. Just never spray with it or you’ll burn it. Also npk b1 has good mag, also increases mycorrhizae if you are using it along with a few other things. 1/16 to 1/8th of a teaspoon so it lasts a while. And yes can be strain. Latest picture looking nice.

I'm so curious to know if that sensi bloom truly stays ph balanced. Have you used an ph equipment to check if it fluxuates at all? It'd be neat to see a side by side done of the same strain, 1 sensi bloom 1 not.

To answer your question: Hello there. First of all, no is not a calcium deficiency. What it looks like is actually two things; first the super dark green foliage is nitrogen toxicity and the lower leaves with partial yellowing form the tip to the base with rust spots is potassium (K) deficiency. Remember that cal mag has some nitrogen too. What I would do is dial back the grow nutes and add some bloom nutes, because your plant is trying to flower, thus the K deficiency. Good luck

wow!

Hope all goes well with your second grow Mom! Lol I just finished my first and am about to start my second!

What 👏 a 👏 beast 👏

Amazing huge buds! Congrats (=
