2xGorilla Cookies andd 2xKosher Cacke in an wired setup :)
First things firts. Paper towel them for less than24hrs, as I was on a hurry, and then straight to the home beds :) 3 days later they are up and searching for the sun. Temperature was not ideal, it's been cold these days, but ranging from 20 to 25 degrees, thats why this was not the fastest germination out there. Everything it's fine.
I was gone for two weeks and today I have the time to water them. While I was away I water them with mini watering system, based on water pump for household with just tap water. Like I said, I was in a hurry, have to think something... Everything seems fine. I'm determined to go along with simple feeding chart, based on 24 for canna terra bio, as I consider myself as a newbie and you know the rest. Finnaly I fed them with root stimulant (3ml/l), but forgot to add the other one food - Canna Bio Vega as suggested by the chart. That's me, silly me.
I was lazy again and water them via dripping system, no feeding this time, just tap water. Pots seems wet, so I decided to skip for a day. Nothing fancy, everything seems OK. They respond well to root stimulant as grow getting faster and faster. That day also marks the begining of LST. Next day, Second feeding. Everyone gets 0.5l with food inside. Canna Terra Vega is added this time, as prescribed by the chart. They have grown visibly for just a day. That's not good sign for me, as I have some undocumented previous experience whit such vigorous growth, which in the end finished down the drain.
More LST and more food. Pots seems dry at top, feels light, that gotta be good sign. Everyone getting usual dosage of 0.5l with mix of vega and root boster. I'm inspecting them very closely for signs of over-dosage or any other symptoms, but they seems more than fine and reacts very well as growth is steady. They are getting bushier day by day. 3 days later - repeat the same procedure with watering and food. No signs of nothing suspicious whatsoever. Only little one brown on one of big fan leaves on KC 1 due to mechanical issue. 2 days later watching them on camera I notice drop in all of the leafs. Sign they are thirsty, I think. At the next day things start to get wired again. On the biggest plant of 4, Kosher Cake 1 some of the leaves are getting sick. WTF was the first thing that crossed my mind. What is this, not again, what to do, how?!? So many questions. After little examination on all of them I was found same marks on the other Cake, but still in very early stage. Gorilla 1 is clean, absolutely nothing, Gorilla 2 getting light green leaves. It must be the shade, I think, as they are getting bushier. But what to do with the others? I decided to give recommended cal-mag dosage for just in case. What are these things? Anyone?
Can anyone recognize what symptoms are those that I'm having on Kosher Cake 1 and 2? Deficiency, overdose, PH? One of the leaves have big darkish spot and others have little burn likes scars. What are they? Thanks!
Hello mate, i think it's began a Ca/Mg issue. You are using an organic feeding so you should know the rate of Ca/Mg in your water, the right proportion is 4:1 or 3:1. Once fixed this you'll have a perfect balance of your nutrients in the soil. Do it very soon or she'll loose a lot of times.
Good luck and happy journey with your plants!
Either your having multiple deficiencies right after feeding said nutrients OR your ph has drifted for any number of reasons which no-one can figure out because you half arsed details on your diary.
I'm guessing your rh is very high based on lazy leaf formation, possible its halting gas exchange, preventing nutrient uptake and drifting ph into the nether regions where nutrients have problems uptaking.
As soil pH drops, availability of magnesium and calcium declines while manganese availability increases.
did you cause or notice a wild shift in pH? it's not something you can just assume by looking at leaves even if some situations do correlate.
Looks like maybe a bit low on N and Ca. If your pH drifted downward, that is plausible, too. OR, you need more N and Ca in the formula.
First day of the fifth week. Thing seems to worsen really fast. I have no idea but they seems like little stunned. LST gives results as they are many side branches and multiple bud sites. Could it be that the are some deficency due fast growth and that many sites, but only 2 gal of pot? We are getting into flowering I think, but the problem seems worsen. Leaves are getting bad for just a day. Only GC 1 are trouble free, no signs of nothing. On second Gorilla some leaves are getting light green hues. Both koshers getting worse, as bigger one is faster in that, Pots are wet, but not as yesterday. Today I will pass watering or feeding as just one day passed from previous. I will update later.
UPDATE: water them with calmag only after reading replays to grow qustions. I have that feeling about bad PH of water and water quality as general, but I was relaying on fact that I'm using substrate, not hydro only. This time my choice was Gold Label special mix light, as I forgot to mention that.
Anyone? Things are getting worse over just one night. Look at Kosher 1, what is that? You can clearly see the differences from yesterday. Now and Gorilla starts to show something, damn...Thanks in advance, I have no intentions to spam with more of the same type questions.
Hey!
i can't tell 100% without knowing all the environmentals, but it seems like she is overwatered? stunted growth and discoloration looks like it.
How big is the pot? In the picture it looks quite big and maybe you tried a little too hard to take care of the soil and overwatered her, but that isn't easy and we all do these mistakes.
Photoperiod can recover, automatic will be hard im honest :/
Gl tho!
Hello mate, i looked your diary and i think your problem began one week ago. The plant show a unbalanced Ca/Mg ratio for an organic feeding, you should have your tap water that have more Ca than Mg so despite you add calmag the ratio conitue to be unbalnced and this cause different problems, the first one is the uptake of macro-nutrients so your growth is so slowed down.
Try to fix this ratio adding Mg salts but be careful with the amount, the best is to find the concentration from the water analisys then fix the ratio.
Good luck and happy journey with your plants!
The yellowing is a Magnesium deficiency.
Remember too, what is showing in the leaves now, is a direct result of what was happening in the root zone 2 weeks ago, that is why it got worse overnight, your plant has 2 weeks of deficiency already.............it will take 2 weeks to correct, but once you up the cal/mag, symptoms should slow down and stop eventually, but the damaged leaves will stay damaged.
The brown blotches are nothing, most likely caused by something dripping on those leaves, or mechanical damage from hitting the edge of the pot or soil surface.
