Week 3- Transplant week.
This has been a great week, she hasn't put so much height on but her leaves are much more full and stronger looking. She's maintaining a nice healthy green color which is always a great thing to see.
I started noticing that the cup was filling with roots and didn't want to risk any root bound as I've heard it's hard for them to break this pattern once established (the circular roots that is), if this is true I can't say for sure. However a transplant was needed soon. I chose a 1 gallon smart pot (because i don't plan on a large plant with such a short grow planned), filled with Fox Farm soil which is my most successful so far, a tablespoon of Xtreme Gardening Mykos to help build up some root health and regular ph'd water. The transplant went very well and I didn't notice any negative delays or side effects.
The new environment is a 5x5x4 tent with a 300 watt LED, with a 4 inch intake fan and one clip fan. I've tried to slowly introduce the plant to the 300 during some of the daytime hours, in an attempt to ease her into new lighting.
@BigDaddyK, thanks Daddy i appreciate your input. I decided to pluck the most damaged leaves and watered with the evaporated water today. With EC would that be the same as using my tds meter..or much different?
Nice frosty buds, did you harvest ? You are very good at cloning, I am going to try your technique because my results are not so good.
I think your leaf problems may be caused by over feeding. Seems like it got much worse after week 7, which had a dose higher than recommended on the Fox Farms feed chart. Usually even the recommended doses on the feed charts are too much unless you are outdoors or running really big lights. 1/2 to 3/4 of the recommended dose should be enough on a smaller setup.
Also not sure if your meter measures PPM or EC. If PPM, try EC instead. PPM has 2 scales, if the feed chart has one scale but your meter has the other scale you could accidentally have a lot higher PPM than expected. I go for a max of about 0.5-1.0 early veg, 1.5 late veg, 1.7 flower, gradually increasing the dose and monitoring how the leaves look.
@@smokenhike, thank you for saying so.... i love cloning, propagation and early veg are probably my most successful times. Flowering....meh not so much lol.
Thanks so much for the advice. I did harvest and it wasnt much but thats to be expected when you use a 1 gallon pot. My most recent grow i started giving more calmag and that's kept the symptoms much lower, and i started to do lower more frequent feeds and i think that's probably helping too. I think i have a ppm meter...but never tried to calc the ec ill try to figure it out.😊✌️
@EastOregonGrower, thank you. This ones stayed nice and green like it should. Lol i had a rogue diary going on and the poor plants are just hideous.
Definitely classic indica...which is funny cause they call this one a 50/50 split. Maybe the taste or high will be cause the plant itself definitely isn't. ✌️
@Puffer_Bill, i was thinking it may have blown in the open window...or it could have been in the soil. I probably should've let it go and then do a plant I'd on it...could've been a ground cover and stop the algae possibly.
