Plant Status:
The plants are looking healthy and have not exhibited significant stretching. I also started a batch of Cereal Milk plants under the same conditions, but they experienced stretching and deformities. Out of three Cereal Milk plants, one survived, while two were culled. The surviving one is occasionally observed.
Germination Issues:
The plants had some difficulty opening their seeds. Out of three, only two managed to sprout. I plan to fill the tent with three plants. The chosen strains were selected due to their similar growth heights and flowering times. The selection process was straightforward as one Cereal Milk plant was deformed, another suffered from damping-off disease, and the third grew crooked. Given that the seeds from the batch were evidently poor in quality, we are focusing on the Cookies Gelato strain.
Equipment and Conditions:
The light I am using was custom-designed by a friend. It is tailored to promote the growth of short, bushy plants with many nodes spaced closely together. The soil is minimally pre-fertilized by the manufacturer, so I do not need to worry about fertilizing for now, only adjusting the pH level.

Grow Questions
BusyBeeFarmerstarted grow question 4 months ago
Hey everyone, what do you think—do my plants have a phosphorus deficiency?
Two buds are turning a bit purple, and the lower leaves are easy to remove even though they are still green.
Photos are in my Grow diary.

Hello BussyBeeFarmer,
You got a nutrient lockout from nutrient salts builded up inside your soil. You give more then enough nutrients and everything the plant needs is there. But you need to water till 20% runoff to prevent nutrient salts building up and I would recommend to cut down your nutrients to 75% from whst you are giving now.
This should solve your problems and deficiencies buddy.
Happy Growing! 💚

Should I keep this deformed bud or cut it off? The humidity is high, and the sugar leaves are layered on top of each other. I'm a bit worried about potential mold. Any advice would be appreciated!

Hey mate,
I wouldnt cut the bud. Its stress for the plant and you lose that bud. Just cut a few leaves so the area is more airy.
Happy Growing!

It should be OK with the top max,top max is PK isn't it? It will more than likely be the light stress. I had it myself when I switched over to led,s because it wasn't warm enough.24 so increased to 28 and it stopped.I believe its mostly due to lack of radiant heat and the leaf surface temp.

@oldskoolkool, Hey, I've got some updates. It turns out that Top Max doesn't contain potassium or phosphorus its just a stimulant. Potassium comes from BioGrow, and phosphorus and nitrogen are in the bloom fertilizer. These nutrients are roughly in a 3:6 ratio compared to other substances in the mix. Because of this, I initially misinterpreted the deficiency symptoms, which led to the current situation.
It’s a bit confusing with BIOBIZZ if you don’t know that you can open the labels to get more information. Fortunately, I figured this out before things got worse. Thanks for the nudge to double-check the nutrients, saved my run!

Just noticed the basement.Make sure you keep them off that cold floor and keep the temps up.

@oldskoolkool, Thank you for your input! Yes, Top Max is PK. Since the plants are illuminated at night, they haven’t been below 22°C in the room for the past 2-3 weeks, even during "nighttime".
I just noticed a mutation on the plant and will update some pics later when I’m at home. Since the other two plants in the grow show no signs of phosphorus deficiency, I’m hoping it’s just a color change from some mother genetics. I haven’t found anything indicating that Cookies Gelato turns purple frequently.
I’m not too worried for now, though I’m not thrilled about seeing so many mutations in the RQS seeds. Maybe it’s something I’m doing? 😂😅
And thanks for the tip about the basement! I’ll make sure to keep them off the cold floor and maintain the temps.

Your plants look fire bro. Thanks for checking out my diaries. How long have you been have you been using those nutes?

Thanks! These are my first plants using these nutrients, and so far, I’m extremely satisfied. I used Hesi before this. Once I finish the grow, I’ll let you know if I can recommend them. So far, they’re looking really good!

Nice one. I ended up checking the top max for someone else and found out its Humic Acid which is especially good for organics as it makes the nutrients more available. I use it all the time in synthetic nutrients as its in my base grow,ph perfect sensi grow in the form of fulvic acid. I also use advanced nutrients Ancient earth in my organics as Iv been doing both sside by side for a few yrs now. If money isn't an issue then advanced nutrients are by far the best.They don't just add the 14 mineral eliments the plants need they add so much more. Their organic iguana juice has several times more ingredients than bio bizz,things that add flavour like fish hydroslate.Their whole organic range is amazing but its not cheap.
