Gandalf's Moby Dick [First Grow]

Hi Gandalf, are you growing in coco? If so, do not let it dry out. It will cause your root zone ppms to go crazy which will turn into lockout/deficiency/or even burn. From my experience with coco, I never let more than a few grains on the top go dry. Coco is to be treated as a hydro system. Feed lower ppms at a more frequent intervals. Feed to runoff as well. I would recommend flushing your plants with half nutes. Check the initial ppm runoff to see whats going on. Ideally that ppm should be close to what your putting in plus or minus 100. If its significantly higher, keep flushing until you bring it down to range. Also, take a coco sample from deep in the root zone and do a slurry test. Take 1 part coco and mix with 1.5 part 0 ppm RO water and mix thoroughly. Set aside for 2 hours and mix it up again and check the ph. Make sure your in the 5.8 to 6.1 range better 5.9 to 6.0 to be perfect for coco. This was my biggest "A-HA" in improving my grows. Lastly, your feeding ppms seem awfully low as well, most autos in flowering if fed once a day should get 500-800 ppm. I see signs of N, P, CA, MG deficiencies which will really hurt bud development especially resin and could lead to hermie as well. If it were me, I would flush the hell out of the coco until the rootz one ph reads 5.9 to 6.0 and ppms running off at 700ish ppm. Just trying to pass along some experience, not trying to step on toes. Best of luck finishing her out. Cheers!

Looking good Gandalf, best of luck!!

Just dropping by, hope all is well with your ladies.

Gat damn she's looking great. Can't wait to read your harvest report. Pop off any low buds and sample yet?

You can do a little lst by gently bending over the main stem. You can use twine or similar to gently pull over the stalk and it can be attached to something sturdy such as tent pole, a heavy weight placed on the floor, etc. Also. Watch the ppms feeding and making sure you get good runoff feeding. Looks like you may have the start of nutrient burn. https://www.royalqueenseeds.com/blog-nutrient-burn-in-cannabis-plants-n680 Other than that, her comeback looks incredible!!

Beautiful plant! 😻

Monster grow bro. Well done. That cola! Fml. 👍

You created a monster Gandalf, be careful she doesn't roll you up and smoke you Haha!!

Niceee plant bro 👍

Hey:) how much lux do your babies get? Best of luck

Amazing looking plant and a great journal. I have a Moby Dick heading into week 5 and she’s a little bushy as I did lst. Thanks for sharing and I hope mine climbs like yours!

Love it's structure, nicely done 😃👍

Her recovery is awesome! My Moby took forever to finish the stretch as well at about 4.5 weeks after 12/12.

Lots of budding sites you got there!! Looking much better!

Alright alright alright, she's turned the corner and looks back on track. Now, since she's gone through some pretty stressful couple weeks at the start of flowering, keep a good eye on her flowering sites. Its not a guarantee, but plants that have undergone high ppm stress can be prone to becoming a hermie. Keep a watchful eye for nanners or balls on her. If any nanners pop up, they can be carefully removed with wet tweezers (water neutralizes pollen), balls or actual pollen sacs are much more problematic.

Wow!! She has made an incredible comeback!! Keep it up!!

Nice :)

Really nice plant! What lights do you use?

Looking awesome, airy or dense it all goes to the dome 😂. Congrats on a job well done adapting and overcoming along the way. The key to success!! I can't wait to grow her again either. I hope to grow her outdoors next spring/summer and see how many pounds she can make. I have no doubt with these genetics and proper care will be huge outside basking in the So. Cal sun.

Now that's one impressive looking Moby Dick Auto 👌 I would start reducing feed mate in preparation for harvest in 10-14 day's time 👊 Looking fantastic my friend 👍 All the best ✌️ Mark..
