Here we go again! This time around, to avoid the thrips from last, we are switching our the soil from BioBizz All mix to Plagron light mix.
We have also acquired a nice new 130watt LED lamp, spanking out a staggering 25000 lumen. I turned this down to half for the first week.
We are also trying out Big Plant Science's liquid fertilizer.
The plant has been transplanted to it's new home for the next ~3 months, and we have lightly sprinkled 4 grams of BIG Root Explosion around the hole in the transplant.
Day 3 update: Lowered the light to 50cm above the plants.
Day 4 update: Watered with nutrients. Leaf damage noticed.
Day 6 update: Watered. Lowered the light to 30cm above the plants. It looks like the leaf damage is not spreading to the newer leaves. My guess is pH imbalance.
I have noticed some slight leaf damage on Day 4. Leaves have been curling down for a few days, but I have now noticed spots. I wonder what could be causing this?
first of just make sure you do not have any bugs! If there are none it almost looks like they were a little root bound before they got re-potted and that can cause a bunch of symptoms including what is seen in your pics so if the new growth is not affected and stays growing good that was most likely the issue. Also you may be onto something with the pH👍, so make sure you pH is good on your runoff just to be safe and if you can try and lower your temps a little 81 isnt that bad but if you can try for around the 75ish range. Now with the leafs curling down that could be under/over-watering feel the weight of the pot when its dry but not to the point the plant is wilting. Then after you give it a watering feel the weight makes it a little easier to make sure your not over-watering. Good luck😊 Hope this helps. If you have any other ?'s dont hesitate to ask my friend👊
The leaf damage from Week 1 seem to have completely dissapeared from new growth. This indicates a root problem was fixed, and I suspect pH values being off in the seedling for too long.
Day 2 update: Watered with nutrients.
Day 3 update: Mainlining Step 1. Plant topped at node 3. All other branches and fan leaves removed.
Day 4 update: Watered with nutrients.
Day 5 update: Mainlining Step 2. Plant topped at next node to create 4 main branches. They are tiny at the moment.
Day 7 update: Cut lower large fan leaves (not in picture). Tried installing larger fan, however, will be removed soon as it is too noisy.
We have begun the first two stages of Mainlining and the plant now has 4 main branches. We would like to top them again this week to produce 4 more branches at a total of 8 main branches.
The stem is already very thick and strong.
Day 2 update: Watered with nutrients.
Day 5 update: Watered with nutrients. Defoliated lower fan leaves.
Another week begins and we are left with a massive healthy looking plant from Week 4. If you haven't yet, check the tie job on Day 5 from Week 4, as it sets the stage for what's going on in the later weeks. Barney's Farm LSD lends itself really well to mainlining, even with the powerful Samsung 388 LED board pounding down on it. It spreads it's nodes out which makes it easy to train.
We have finished all mainlining steps, as we are stopping at 8 main nodes.
Day 1 update: Watered with nutrients.
Day 3 update: Watered with nutrients.
Day 4 update: Defoliation.
Day 5 update: Watered.
Day 6 update: Scrog deployed.
Day 7 update: Watered with nutrients.
We decided to flip the lights as the plant has become rather big for our tent. This is as we are expecting a stretch of 2 to 3 times the size of it's current height. We have noticed a slight nitrogen toxicity, some bigger fan leaves are wrinkled and very robust, so we are ditching Power House Part A for the first feeding on Day 2.
Day 2 update: Watered with nutrients.
Day 4 update: Canopy looking great! Top dirt is still wet, I don't think the fan is drying out the ground as quickly anymore.
Day 5 update: Watered with nutrients.
Day 7 update: Watered with nutrients.
The plant has grown significantly and completely overtaken it's neighbour, Phantom OG.
We have noticed a mold like substance in Power House Part A, a long white string of material, which shouldn't be apparent in a soluble nutrient. Also, some leaves appear to have a very dark green colour, with a rough texture. It appears to be a nitrogen toxicity, which may indicate an overall imbalance in the nutrient feed. The plant overall is doing great, but as the water here contains a lot of calcium, we might cut back on Calcium Plus Part B, which also contains nitrogen.
Day 2 update: Watered with nutrients.
Day 4 update: Watered with nutrients. (Without Calcium Plus Part B)
Day 6 update: Watered with nutrients. (Without Calcium Plus Part B)
The plants have stretched significantly! LSD almost has too many side branches to count. Not much to say at this point, the grow is going well and the main-lining is showing it's worth.
Day 1 update: Watered with nutrients. (Minus Part B).
Day 3 update: Watered with nutrients. (Minus Part B).
Day 5 update: Watered with nutrients.
This lamp, nutrient and main-lining combination is incredible!
We have been away for the week, so the pictures have been taken with the timelapse webcam, thus a little shoddy. Growth has been insane! We are once again skipping a bunch of Part B in the nutrient mix as our main water supply already contains a lot of calcium.
Day 1 update: Watered with nutrients.
Day 3 update: Watered with nutrients (Minus part B).
Day 5 update: Watered with nutrients (Minus part B).
Day 7 update: Watered with nutrients.
Another good week! It's just watering every other day from now, we hardly do any gardening. Some of the leaves below the canopy are having a hard time, but that is probably just the plant ditching them, everything else is healthy and green.
Day 2 update: Watered with nutrients.
Day 4 update: Watered with nutrients.
Day 6 update: Watered with nutrients. (Without Part B)
Disaster. Plant problems have been noticed. We suspect them to be Manganese / Calcium deficiencies according to the leaf colour and brown spots. Lower fan leaves have also curled up and died, which might indicate a Nitrogen deficiency. The whole issue might be due to incorrect pH values in the water feed. On Day 3 we will either flush the plant with pH'd water or do a nutrient feed with all nutrients, paying careful attention to the pH value.
Day 1 update: Watered with nutrients. (Without Part B).
Day 3 update: Watered. We decided to flush with (carefully) pH'd water, a little higher than usual, probably in the 6.5 to 7.0 range.
Day 4 update: Leaves have started to brighten and yellow at a fairly alarming rate. With the lower leaves falling off, this looks like a Nitrogen deficiency.
Day 5 update: Watered with nutrients.
Day 4: Leaves have started to brighten and yellow at a fairly alarming rate. With the lower leaves falling off, this looks like a Nitrogen deficiency. Take note of the picture on Day 4 where LSD (the tall plant on the left) is much brighter, and more yellow than Phantom OG (right
Nice looking buds bro.Definitely classic nitrogen deficiency. But she's doing what shes supposed to be doing but a bit early. Looks like she still has a few more weeks to go at least. She's probably drinking like crazy but lighten up on the water her leaves are drooping a bit. Let her dry out then I would give her a couple of normal feedings but don't use plain water in between. See if she at least holds her color. Let her dry out. Then try to go back to your regular feeding schedule. I wouldn't try to increase your nute ppm's it's going to cause issues. Keep an eye out for leaf hooking or burnt tips. It's just not good to give too much N so close to the end. Just give her a nice 2 week flush before harvest and you'll be fine. Good luck she's packing on some nice bud weight.
We are a bit worried about the yellowing fan leaves. The pH might have been a bit too much on the low side, to allow the Nitrogen to be absorbed, causing a deficiency. Otherwise, the buds are plenty and they are much much bigger than our previous grows.
Day 1 update: Watered with nutrients.
Day 3 update: Watered with nutrients (Half of Part B.)
Day 5 update: Watered with nutrients (Half of Part B.). We decided to trim a lot of the yellow leaves off the plant as well.
Day 7 update: Watered with nutrients (Half og Part B.)
The plants are nearing the end of the grow and some leaves are still showing signs of Nitrogen deficiency. At this point it is probably fine and just what "end-of-flowering" plants do.
Day 2 update: Watered with nutrients.
Day 5 update: Watered.
Day 7 update: Watered.
Flushing! It's time for pouring water into the little plants and nothing else. We cheated a bit, and started mid last week. The plants are looking very good, we are removing some dead leaves due to Nitrogen deficiency, which is fine at this stage.
Day 3 update: Watered
Day 4 update: Top leaves near the bud have begone yellowing. I have never seen yellowing sugar leaves before. Is this something to worry about?
Day 6 update: Watered. Day before harvest.
Compared to our other grows, there was a significant difference in grow when using this nutrient package and a new LED lamp, we almost tripled the outcome. It was also the first time we mainlined, which went great. We can definitely recommend mainlining Barneys Farm LSD, as it grows tall and big.
