AH Veg Week 9 (63 days old)
AZ Bloom Week 4 (49 days old)
Amnesia Haze:
Is starting to show signs of what looks like stress and possible nutrient deficits. If you look at the leaves, they are starting to fold inward. A couple leaves have brown rusty spots on them and they are brittle near the tips. Considering the plant has been using this soil for 9 weeks now, I presume the nutrients have slowly been used up. To combat this, I will increase the BioGrow to 2ml/l and give her a top layer of Epsom Salt. Also an increase of CalMag from 0.5 to 0.7ml/l will happen with her next watering. Feel free to contact me with other suggestions if you have also had these issues!
Amnesia Zkittlez:
New Question has been uploaded, as her new growth is starting to look unhappy. The mature leaves are fine.
Temps and humidity are relatively the same as they've been the past weeks: 20C / 50%rh so I take it it's not heat related.
I can't imagine the increase of BioGrow from 1 to 2ml/l is the culprit, but what do I know.
It shouldn't be due to overwatering, because she only gets watered when her soil is dry. That's once every two to three days.
Crossing my fingers this gets sorted asap!
AZ Update - 6 hours later:
She's perking up again! Thanks to community members Lerome and AsNoriu for their suggestions! Both suggested Magnesium deficit and AsNoriu pointed to possible wind damage. Gave her 1ml/l CalMag and changed the fan setup in the tent.
Both plants received a top dressing of bonemeal and epsom salt as well. Unfortunately, AH didn't like this and she's showing nutrient burns on the tips of the leaves. I think that's due to the increase of CalMag from 0.5 to 0.7ml/l. May have to flush her soon.
Number 4 (Amnesia Haze photoperiod) started smelling of cannabis since her 2nd week of veg. Her 3 sisters before her didn't smell of cannabis, not even in bloom..
Why? What alters the smell of plants from the same genetics, when all other conditions are the same?
This is called phenotypes every strain has several different types of plants, which leads to different optical taste and smell, and then there are some mutations like in lemon haze that don't get good terps and very fluffy buds. Amnezia Haze has a specific smell that is present at the beginning of flowering, it seems to me that you got with the other two a different phenotype. Wait for their development, for sativa It is normal to get the full potential in really late stages of flowering.
Here's what I make of it (and PLEASE correct me where I am wrong!) :
The tips yellowing indicates, a nitrogen burn.
The burnt brown tip indicates, nitrogen burned to long 😂
The black spots indicate, a P or K issue (as the leaves are otherwise healthy green in color)
Correct on the yellow tips = too much nitrogen.
Dark spots looks like excess potassium. A deficiency will also have a yellowing of the leaf that coincides with it.
Your best bet is to cut back on any additive of potassium thst you may be using. Also a slight reduction of nitrate for the time being.
Make sure when watering you are getting roughly 10-20% water running out of the bottom. This flushes away and build up of salts left behind so you do not deal with excess nutrient build up. I would mix up a lighter batch of nutrients and feed off till you get about 50% run off this next feeding. You will essentially replace anything in the soil with a lower amount of fertilizer by doing this.
Hope this helps.
@valiotoro, Nah you didn't miss it. I only briefly mentioned it in this weeks diary.
It wasn't until yesterday's update that the issue got documented. So no worries bud. 😁
@valiotoro, you could be right. Though, the problem was found in different layers of the canopy, ranging from the very bottom of the cola to the very top. It's unlikely that the bottom most leaves got light burned as they are nearly 70cm away from the light 😅
If it was a deficiency, it wasn't clear which nutrient was the culprit.
No matter. She won't be complaining anymore 😈
During the plant's rest period yesterday, she decided it was time to have 5-10% of the trichomes turn amber.
RIP!! 😬😂
@valiotoro, would have given salami but worms are vegetarians 😅 Erm, sorry to break it to ya but there are bananas in there.
At least, they were given with the first feeding and later covered with top soil. I suspect most of the banana pieces are gone by now 😂
After a few conversations with a couple of community members, the nutrient problem was narrowed down to being an excess of Potassium (K).
The red wrigglers and microorganisms supplied the soil with more than enough K before she was flipped, and she burned because of that. Upon flipping her, I started her on BioBloom (P + K) and that enhanced the problem to its current state.
--------------------------------------------------
Objective:
1. reduce the amount of K in the soil, without disturbing the organic life
2. return the plant back to a neutral and healthy state before the bloom is affected too badly
3. let the organic life do it's thing and see if that alone provides the necessary P and K
--------------------------------------------------
Solution:
1. read MORE about vermicomposting and vermiculture 😂
2. soil - WIll NOT flush the soil but, remove BioBloom from her next feedings. After seven days it should be clear if there is still enough K in the soil or not. After 14 days, it should be clearer.
3. worms - stop actively feeding the worms fruits/vegetables. The next two weeks, they will get a nutrient neutral diet of shredded cardboard IF they appear hungry.
Wish me luck!
Update: Tuesday the 10th of December 2024
Amnesia Haze has been defoliated. All growth on the rear side of the main stems has been removed as well as nearly all of the fan leaves 😁
Her stems flexibility was also tested and only the top 7-8 cm can be bent. I'm going to have to think the next step through.
It's okay. She has time still.
Amnesia Zkittlez automatic is looking tasty 😋
Update: Monday the 21st of October 2024, 24 hours after the Veg Week 5 post.
It's nearly too shameful to admit, but AH got butchered last night by the pruning sheers 😅
Truth being(!!), it started off with a joint of her sister's half-failed yield, directly after the "Veg Week 5"post....
Number 3 has dried to the point where even the thicker stems are snapping without actually breaking. It was time for curing. Not before I had one smoke of her though!
Further details to follow in an upcoming update to that diary.
What I will say here about it is:
that was possibly the biggest mistake of Number 4's life. Possibly the best thing that will ever happen to her. Let's hope she develops into how I envisioned her to turn out.
Number 4 only has four stems remaining after her first date with the sheers. All the bigger fan leaves have been removed as well as all the leaves that blocked valuable undergrowth. This is going to set her back a couple weeks 😬
She was beautiful. Now she looks like a couple of pulled apart pigtails and it's all to blame on her sister. Who she never met and never knew existed..
Pictures will follow in next weeks post.
