9 freaking weeks. We should have a giant ass plant by now lol.
Tried giving her a bit of food because she was lightening in color. After feeding the tiniest bit and getting run off.. wow idk wtf. The shit coming out was acidic af which didn’t make much sense.
Put her pot in the sink and poured cups of water into the soil slowly over about an hours time.. until it was about 6.5.
She’s really paling now. As soon as the soils dry enough I’m going to try to VERY lightly feed her again and hope everything doesn’t go nuts again.
I took off a bunch of her leaves that were looking really bad and probably were of no service to her. I also put her back into a tent, off to the side of a 100w light, which she seems to be alright with. Not seeing any taco leaves for the first time ever. Still some strangely formed leaves, but I can live with that.
I’ve lost any interest in size or yield to do with this girl. At this point I just want to see her healthy and put her into flower to see if she can do anything at all there haha.
So yeah. Still alive so we keep on. Oh and I included pictures to show the runoff after trying to lightly feed, and then after the flushing. Insert brain explosion here.
Hey how's it going ✌️ i've just read through your diary a little, from what I can tell Growmie, it looks like PH imbalance in the soil from week 1- week 2.
Is it a pre loaded soil mix? Maybe it's too rich for seedlings? My advice, only through my own shitty experiences....
Wait till soil dries to about 2 inches below surface, run 1.5L over her slowly of just pH 6 water, and wait for run off if there is any, if there isn't apply another 0.5L and wait. Measure the PH and PPM levels of the run off water. This may help identify what the soil is doing 🙏 hope it helps 💚
@Krisis, No problem at all, I've been in this situation before where every attempt I make to fix just don't work 🤣 I'm glad you kept her going, be good to see if these genetics are just not ready for hot mediums.
Hopefully assessing the root zone will help 🙌 all the best with this grow, I hope she shakes it off and starts to justify the time you have spent on her 🙏✌️ 💚
@pifflestikkz, Heyy thanks for actually taking the time to look through and give advice. What you recommended, I’ve actually done, and couldn’t find any problems. This plant has made me crazy lol. I’ve been told it’s a problematic one that I should have tossed. That’s probably true, BUT I just wanna see if it can be turned around. As for the soil, this one was started in just happy frog and perlite. It’s typically not too hot, but this plant seems very sensitive so maybe it was too hot in this situation. Could possibly be some root issues. When soils a bit dryer I’m going to pull and see if I can see any problems under there. Thanks again for the help :)
