Recover! But the next few days it will be hot again in the tent, around 30°
- I've now gone from 16 hours of light to 18 hours! And a bit more light output!
- 09/01/2024 - Repotted in 5L Air-Pots! Light intensity slightly increased!
- running so far! will start with LST for the first time this week, let's see how it goes!
- I have lots of small spots on a leaf, it could be water splashes from the lamp that have burned in!
-Yesterday I took off 2 problem leaves and examined them under the microscope, I didn't see any spider mites..
-Nevertheless, today, shortly before the LED goes down, I'm going to spray the babies with neem oil.
I somehow have the feeling it's because of my soil mix, I mixed Biobizz all-mix with terra petra and basalt rock powder, maybe it was too strong and they need to get used to it first.. hope for a recovery xD
would like to see more of the plant. it's a mobile nute. Possibly low K ... would want to see how it progresses and any other symptoms to rule out other possibilities. seems way too early for Mg issues - those take 30-35 days to be visible AFTER the initial deficiency starts inside the plant. Is this plany a month or more old? Can rule it out if too young.
the spots do look like pests suckling the leaves, but also can be early fugliness of first few sets of leaves. if that doesn't spread, not likely pests. if it's all over, inspect for pests. I think this is part of the other damage seen as opposed to pests. is their any 'honeydew' or glistening around the dots? not all will leave it behind, but that is a sign of pests (saliva or similar)
the first 2-3 sets of serated leaves often have spots/blemishes that aren't related to pests or nutes. the more serious damage is something else.
I think I can see the spidermites in the 1st pic.
Look under the leaf. If you see reddish brown spots that turn into stripes as you rub over them gently, those are spidermites.
The yellowing I'm guessing is lack of N, you can up your dose of bio grow because all your plants are looking very pale and drop the root juice.
Root juice is mostly humic acid and that is great to neutralise any pH issues you might have. It's not something you need to use tonnes of and there is a lot of humic acid in compost, so a top dress of compost or a compost tea will have the same effect as the root juice or top max.
Day 35 - They don't look good at all! They're burning a lot of nutrients! I put them in an all-mix way too early with Terra Petra on top, ouch! Overkill... less is often more damn
I'll still try to get them through to the end so people can see what not to do, and I can still experiment with the little ones!
Today I cut off the burnt leaves and topped them, what doesn't kill you just makes you stronger?!
I rinsed them well and hope to flush out the excess nutrients, we will see
Day 41 - slowly recover from the over-fertilized soil, unfortunately one didn't make it! It was too small and the side shoots were stunted or came out much too late
- They really struggled in the bad soil, but they are slowly recovering, I think everything is slowing down, smaller leaves and slower growth, but I have learned a lot in this run already! More stress, more terps? I'm excited xD
- I just pointed my main LED at the babies until the others are far enough to flower, which is why the leaves still look a little worse
-The experiment continues, today I topped everything again, there's just not much room left at the top, that will all become a problem, lots of small thin side shoots, I've removed a lot of them at the bottom1
Otherwise they don't look anything like the new ones, everything is very stunted in growth, they are also well over a month older than the new ones, but the new ones are already growing further and the differences in the joints are enormous!
- they are finally developing well, I really like what I see, the little ones had a lot of stress with my soil etc.. but now they look great and thank me for it xD
