OK, so I didn't think that growing so many different strains would be easy but I never thought I'd let it come down to nutrient lockout!!! i can only attribute this to a couple new products i'm using and not knowing how to use them properly. My plants did not get an abundance of nitrogen at all but rather Potasium and Phosphorus. I assumed it began with my light being too close, but I think it was the first warning signs of the plant not being able to handle what's at the rootzones of a few of the strains. After posting a grow question and getting an answer i looked closer at my girls and quickly realized what was happening and i began running 10-15 gallons of water through each pot. The stems were so red/purple it looked like they had extreme blood pressure issues! I used Potasium Silicate to raise the PH of the runoff water as my rootzone runoff was coming out at 5.6-5,8 while dumping PH8.5 in the top! I flushed until no more salts other than what's in the water was left in the soil but the PH was still coming in at 5.8-5.9. I can't imagine what the actual PH of the root zone was as it's being diluted and coming out that low! The Potasium Silicate is also supposed to help with the roots and allow the plant to more readily break down the nutes. I flushed until the PH came up to 6 and I figured this has to be enough to allow the plant to 'breathe' again. The next day i already saw improvement with new pistils and calyxes forming on most of the plants. Ice Cream, Bubble Gum, and 2 of the Durbans took it the worst. The rest seemed to tolerate the nutes a little more. I'm now left with yellowing leaves that I believe are permanently damaged but the sugar leaves coming out of the bud sites seem to be a darker green again for the most part. I'm not sure what I'll do today but I'm thinking I'd like to flush for a little runoff to see how the rootzone is doing now. If it's better then I might add a quarter strength finishing nutes in hopes to swell the buds to make up for some lost time. The Bubba Kush that hermied seems to be doing well. So far no new nanners but i know they are hard to spot so i will keep vigilant on this one. I really need an isolation room for times like this!!!

Anyone experienced leaf burn from a high intensity LED? I think that's what has happened to a few of the plants and I hope I caught it in time but the yellowing leaves don't seem to be getting any greener. They are starting to get a few random rust/dark spots on affected leaves

Hi @stevieb21! Yes this is a common issue, especially with such powerful lamps. Affected leaves won't recover and the yellowing will get worst, so you can tuck the leaves out once 40-50% of their surface is burnt. However, I have doubts regarding your symptoms, light burns usually don't look like this, and are are often accompanied with curling upward leaves, or other symptoms on the buds (bleaching, foxtailing..). My bet is that you overfed your babies and probably also overwatered the containers. Your medium looks really flooded with water on the video and your EC is extremely high. This leads me to think that your coco has become too "hot", resulting in nutrients lockout. This would explain the brown spots, the purple stems, and the yellowing. The rootzone is unable to manage Phosphorous and Potassium intakes. In this scenario I would give it a good flush with plain pH'd water before going back to a reasonable feeding schedule. Time is essence here and the quicker you'll react the best chances you'll have to save your crop's quality & quantity. Hope this will help, keep us up-to-date and happy growing πŸ‘Š

@stevieb21, hey, we all learn & improve each grow from those experienceπŸ˜‰ seedsman, alchimia, zamnesia and etc big retailers of that kind, prolly gonna find some that deliver worldwide what i m doing is i browse strain over there or growdiaries, then directly order from the breeder web site when they have one, and lot of breeder deliver worldwide/ or nearly thoose day

@HerbalEdu, haha it is amazing stress relief spending time LST and training plants amongst the ferocious feeding ladybugs! BUT, I'm not proud of this garden right now however it's all part of the experience and will be logged to look back on and learn from πŸ˜… I'm already looking forward to the next grow. Just wish I could get some new strains from other seed companies overseas. Want something different already lol

Just a warning, my Bubba Kush hermied on me. I did some digging and the Bubba Kush genetics from Crop King Seeds is very prone to hermie. Event their own company webpage reviews for Bubba Kush are riddled with problems and people saying it hermied. Yours looks in better shape then mine ever did but I'm just letting you know because it's common to hermie and now I've potentially got my other strains fertilized by the Bubba's hermie pollen. Hate to see you have the same issue and get hermie seeds out of your other strains. Just a heads up. Good luck

@stevieb21,glad I could help. I had them at F45 (few days into week 6) and some here already open and dried up so I had released pollen. So I don’t know how long it was puttin pollen out for could have been several weeks for all I know. I hate that this happened but I’m glad I could help you out. Crossing my figures no pollen got released in your grow.

@NomNom, Holy shit you could have saved my crop unless they opened already. Sure enough when I looked under their skirts....balls forming. Fack. I'm pissed now. I wish they could at least give a heads up. They won't allow us to buy regular seeds in hardly any strains either. Time to find a new breeder and spread the word. Sorry Crop King but if I get taken advantage of once...that's already once too many. @Spliffseeds looks interesting and new!

Being able to run a strain from seed and it tolerate stress and still deliver taste strength & yield... That's worth the work!!! Good luck with the green crack clones hopefully it was just the stress like you said. Good luck on your next run.

@stevieb21 STEVIEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!! 3 weeks with no update you're killing me here! What happened with the Bubba Kush? Did she make it?

@NomNom, haha man i know I've been too busy to update, plus I'm not super proud of this run so it takes a little longer! Just finished cutting the last of the plants down 2 days ago so will get an update soon. Very poor harvest but beautiful smells and they should be as smooth as a ladies breasts to smoke as they've had nothing but water for the last month of their life πŸ˜‚ Bubba made it with no more balls so it was a gamble that won this time!! I've since purchased a ton of new genetics from numerous breeders and am trying to figure out what to do next. Update soon!

Damn man that's the first I've heard from that strain and I fully appreciate the heads up!! I'll have a closer look this afternoon when she gets up and keep a tighter watch on the bitch. Do you remember what week you noticed the cock? Thanks again!
