Sooo.... The last week was a bit of a pain in the ass. I flushed the plant on day 14 and just gave the plant plain water for the remainder of week 3 in flower. By about day 18 I started to notice that the leaves were getting a little yellow on the top of my mother plant. The LED lights were only 7 inches from the canopy! I hadn't been paying attention to how much the plant had grown and how close it was to the light. I raised the lights so they are 14 inches above the canopy. I thought that would make the color of the leaves return. However, her condition started to get worse. Several of the fan leaves on the top of the plant started to curl up and fold like tacos. I also noticed that some of the top fan leaves were getting copper colored tops and edges. some of the lower leaves under the canopy began to fall off with severe deformities and grey patches.
Some research into the matter led me to believe that I had nutrient deficiencies. I knew that I had not fed her nutes in almost a week but I don't think that would lead to the plant's current condition as quickly as it did. I then tested the Ph runoff from the pot and it was incredibly acidic! Almost 5.0! My crap Ph pen had crapped out and was giving erroneous readings. I have since flushed the plant again and properly Ph'd the water. Now I have to wait and see if her condition improves. I hope this doesn't affect the yield too much.
Pro Tip: Always calibrate your meters before use!
Thanks! I have a 2' x 4' x 5' tent. I kind of bit off more than I can chew this grow and may have over crowded my tent. I have too many plants in different stages of growth. Poor planning on my part. I think I am going to give up on the idea of the SCRoG net as it takes up too much room.
The oldest plant is just growing wider now and not so much vertically. The White Widow is growing much more quickly now and I hope in 3 weeks she is ready to flower. By then the AFG x BD will be 3 months old and I'm getting anxious to see how she flowers.
Great grow you have going here. I have to say I love how you've setup your tent. I'm also loving your rails you have the lights mounted on. Great setup here. The plants look beautiful and I'm happy to say that I'll be following your progress along. If you ever need anything don't hesitate to PM me buddy. You are kicking some serious butt here :D
Oh Dude u really didnt know that i learn to love u. Why? Cause im in my First grow, and my second should be 3x Afghan kush + 3x purple Afghan kush with the exact same techniques like yours. Lst in Combination with topping and with a scrog net. And finally i see how insane the plants Go when someone's doing it. Keep going bra๐๐ช
@Ageddd, She stinks! I have the power to the tent left off at night so my circulation fan stops pulling air through the carbon filter. I was actually woken up last night by the smell she is giving off. It smells like lemon pepper when you wiff her buds. The smell in the room is like skunk and lemon pepper!
