It is now week 5 of the grow, i planted them diretcly into the finaly pot after soaking for 24h.
I started feeding them with the mentioned additives in week 3, since i use preloaded soil and they get feed every 2-3 days.
I have topped both of them end of week 4 and just did some defoliation today day 2 of week 5.
They are not to big yet, but i expect them to grow faster from now on (hopefully). Got some good friend who´s mentoring me and giving me some advise.
But im always open feedback and tips
Hello. It's in the genes. Nothing to worry about.
If you look at the family tree for your strain, you'll see all the ancestors of your plant.
Either the parents or a plant somewhere in the background has red in it. Probably a Afghani.
Week 6 just has started, they growing slow and steady, i just switched light cycle to 12/12 and will do another defoliation before next feed.
Update: Week 6 Day 3, early in the morning, I did some defoliation right before feeding, and also started to feed Bloom nutrients.
Week 7 just begann, they have grown a lot during last week, even if the Runtz didnt gain height. Just planned to feed today, but the soil feels not dry enough so I will wait until tomorrow.
Update Day 4: Have started feeding them again after 5 days, I was worried about overwatering them, due to the Lemon Haze hanging/folding leaves. So I have again started watering them slowly.
Also adjusted the lights to pull of around 500 PPFD.
Update: Day 6: Hanging leafes have recovered on the Lemon Haze. But not they seems like to fold up ....
After some sad hanging leaf days, I give them some time to completet take on all the water they get before feeding them again with just water at 6,4 PH. Look like this was the right thing to do. will continue to feed just water for the next feed before giving nuts again.
Update Day 4: They got water again only water with PH 6.3, next feed will be with nuts again, I think the nut free watering was very good for them. Will also do some heavy defoliation next week and get rid of the big fan leaves.
Week 9 just has started. After i flushed them during last week, some brown leafes pop up on the Lemon Haze bottom side, which I completly taken off now.
I start feeding today again with bloom nuts.
Unfortunatly I have checked the drain and it has kinda low PH, even if i always adjusted the feeding water to 6,5. im not sitting on 5,7 on the Runtz and 5,5 on the Lemon Haze (drain only)
Any advise on how to adjust the soil PH during next feed?
Update Day 5 Week 9: Have done some more defoliation just a lil bit, to uncover the lower buds from the Runtz
Week 10 has started, did another trimming, on the Runtz mainly and took off all lower buds and some more of the fan leafes. on the Lemon Haze im just took of some yellowish/brownish fan leafes.
And also started feeding them afterward, with feeding water adjusted to 6,75 ph. I do this routine early in the morning just water the lights turn on.
I dont want to cut again until 1-2 weeks before harvest when I want to take off everything and just let the buds on it to give it at last push..
Feeding takes approx. 1 hour to give them 5 liter combined, i tested both run offs after ankle draining the runtz has 5,74ph and the Lemon Haze 5,45, this is less than last time even after feeding higher ph. kinda worried because tips on her turning yellow...
It's a simple ph lock out. Likely from feed too strong or not enough run off during feeding. Which has created a salt build up that spiked your ph down.
It looks like either phosphorus or potassium, I get them mixed up. Also the plant does look like she's been over fed. Let your soil dry up a good inch at the top before next watering, you possibly will have an abundance of nutrition in the soil, so just water at PH6.3-6.5, take your time and let the water soak in, get yourself a decent amount of runoff and capture the last bit of runoff and test that, hopefully your ph will start to rise. Your then looking for new growth to look good and the damaged growth not getting worse.
Looking at diary its toxicity, that led to lockout and now all troubles starts. Reminds Phosphorus deficiency by leaf downgrade.
If no tips would stay healthy after necrosis - would say potassium, but here i see some bits left healthy .
Your plants looked very droopy sometimes, maybe you don't have wet/dry cycle ... its a must in soil grows.
