Day 22
- Didnt have a time to make a Day 20 due to my sickness but hey im back guys dont worry ! :)
- So at the first point, changed the pH of the water with nutes to 6.3 for better CalMag absorbing
- I know very well about light being too close problem, girls are bushy, not very stretchy. Will solve the problem in 5 days (will move them into bigger box)
- Applied foliar spray with 1ml/l of CalMag and 1ml/l Rhizo
- Deficiency is still spreading throughout the older leaves, i know im losing some leaf mass right now. Trying my best but i cant move the light (problem causer) further...
- Going to transplant them to a 10l/2gal pots in 4 days after moving them to a bigger tent.
- wishing them ladies all the luck i have to survive the next days without too much burn...
Note: If you have some idea how could i dim the light a little, let me know ! :)
Day 28
- So, moved them to a bigger box. I finally could. (120x120x200)
- Calcium deficiency has spread almost to all plants in the small box but it looks like IT stopped after moving them And moving the Light further, finally...
- Light Is now 50cm above the tops which IS appearing to be 17000 Lux (used Phone luxmeter so its probably not perfect)
- every 2 days spraying them with 1ml/l calmag And 1ml/l rhizotonic before the nighttime
- flushed every plant with 2l nute mix ph 6.0 EC 1.6 due to not buffered Coco coir (really pi**Ing me off). Hopes it made the nutes evenly spread
- outflow came 5.8 pH and 1.4 EC
- Fimmed at day 25, looks like they didnt noticed much but the lower branches started to grow heavily. (i know i shouldnt due to health of the plants but better than topping right)
-wish them luck in next days, theyre not the biggest but they seem very strong (thanks to team Humboldt seeds :))
- if everything goes right from now on ill switch them to 12/12 at the end of week 6
Dont know if i hit the right category but could you please help me guys ? one of the plant has burnt/crispy brownish bottom leaves. Other plants seems allright tho... what can i do to stop it from spreading ? Thanks :)
hey there you have magnesium deficiency you can tell from how the leaves are losing color , especially the bottom leaves. What you want to do is make a foliar spray with 1 ml of cal mag and spray on the leaves every few days for a week, the problem should stop spreading and the plants should make a complete recovery. Add Rhiz to the spray once a week for a bonus boost to growth. hope this helps ! 🚀
@JUNGLE_B4RNS Thank you so much for the help ! I dont have a lot of experience with the seedlings and you helped a lot. Unfortunately I dont have any other light but im definitely gonna lower the watering. Thanks buddy! ^_^
Thanks @CRiSPrGrow for your help ! Helped alot ! I actually think it is calmag def. too but i think as @JUNGLE_B4RNS says it is caused mostly due to light being too close... :/ I dont have other light so i think they will have to survive these conditions at least 4-5 more days. :/ I will be back with more info in a moment ! stay tuned guys and thanks for your help ! :)
@FunkyG, the problem will eventually stop spreading now that you're feeding it ... what i can see is you're slightly overwatering though, dial that in asap and lower your PH back down to 5.8/5.9 , the foliar spray will keep the micro locked in anyway
Indoor you must simulate outdoor conditions.
The good thing with Indoor farming is that you can simulate the best outdoor conditions because you got the control on it .
That means , when it rains outdoor, in 90% of the case , it’s cloudy with no sun shining !
Simulating the rain by spraying your seedlings under a 400w LED which is supposed to be the sun , will lead to burned white marks on the leaves .... . By the way , you don’t need to keep a high humidity level , they are seedlings with a root system and they can take the water from their media , not like clones with no roots system .... another thing, rain water is not tap water or spring water or mineral water.... rain water is at pH 7.0-7.1 and EC 0 to 10 ...
Purpling stems ... purplish is the first sign of a Mag deficiency, it comes from many different factors, but indoor it’s mostly from overwatering or too much light.... Purple strains gets purple flowers , but only the flowers are purple 😉 In your case I’m suspecting both problems, you’re growing Ganja my friend, ain’t no water lilies in a swamp 😄 plus blasting young seedlings under a 400w led at 35cm won’t solve the problem neither 😊
When it rains and the water starts to drain into to soil the roots hairs retracts and the main root starts to suck the water .... here is where you understand that the main root is used to intake water and the root hairs are used to intake minerals....
So, technically from what I can read, you’re simulating a swamp somewhere in Asia during the monsoons under an Australian sun during the summer .... now you can understand something is wrong, no ? 😊
And this is where you must understand that the 3 most common problems indoor are:
Too much light
Too much water
Too many nutrients
Stay away from these 3 problems will give you the best Ganja 😉
hey funkyg, hope i answered your question ! i'm quite sure it's magnesium deficiency and you can save these little ones ! hope they recover ! anything else just let me know 👊
@Humboldt_Seed_Organisation, Trying my best to treat them ! I moved them to bigger box today but didnt have time to update the journal ! Tommorow ill bring some new info, stay tuned ! :)
@JUNGLE_B4RNS, I know very well :) Dont worry ive got 120x120x200 for the real grow ;)
This is just for the seedlings :) for the first 2 weeks or so :)
@FunkyG, try using root pots - fabric pots i keep babies happy for 8 wks in 1lt fabric pots - plenty of o2 and no root bounding. my flower pots are only 3lt fabric and they are happy for 12 - 14 weeks of flower :)
@CRiSPrGrow, Know about the problem ! :/ 2-3 more days left for the drying of last batch. At this point i cant transplant due to the lack of space in the tent... i will re-pot them ASAP. Its kinda clutchgrow so i hope they wont get stuck ! :/
@FunkyG Great looking grow man, Ime - Too much LED / Too Close will cause symptom that appear to be Cal/Mag def.
My mate who is a experienced hydro grower with ( DWC + HPS / MH / CMH) doesn't agree with me on this, his theory is because the plant is on mega light it can't get enough Cal/Mag from soil, and to his credit i have seen how on hydro he solves this with CAL/ Mag supplements, but to his own admission he has't used LED's and being a longtime since using soil.
I would lift the light for a week to 10 days - and see what happens, you have close nodes so they should stretch too much, the sweet spot for LED i find is often higher then we think and blue 6500k led will help to stop stretch too, Try it, I was surprised when I started to move my LED's further away - even a few inches can make all the difference - much more so then moving high pressure lights.
Just my two cents - looking great though - good luck with grow :)
Box
@@Boxgrower, Youre totally right! And i knew it as well that light was causing all the problnms, i checked everything and have a quality coco coir. Now i moved the light and even some of the not totally "devastated" leaves turned green again! Wait for more info ill update in next ours :)
😵 😵 😍 Thanks so much guys ! Really Happy that you are watching my diary :) This is my first grow from your seeds and I hope it will be The best one ! :) Keep watching Im tryna go for some place at diary of the month :)
Another steady weeks growth with our Blue Dream 👍
I must say, nice work on the fimming 👌
The plants all look to be staying quite squat and we can't wait to see how this grow turn a out 👍
Leo far looking impressive in the veg stage, Can not wait to see what this looks like in full bloom 👊
Keep the updates coming my friend 👍
With love from Humboldt County ✌️
Kind regards

@FunkyG, I just have my friend and the growth over the last few weeks has been explosive to say the least 👌
They are starting to get a really nice structure👌 and I must say all plants look happy and healthy, just what we like to see 👍
Thank you for the diary update buddy. Looking in great shape 👊
With love from Humboldt County✌️
Kind regards
