This has been a nice week for the Gypsy. Her color remains as gorgeous as ever, with the exception of one small bottom leaf with a minuscule amount of edge discoloration.
I've kept her feeding low and only about once a week if that, all other watering has been with plain PH'd water.
When I thought about how small this plant could potentially be given it's small pot and short veg time. I figured it'd be a good idea to get in and take a clone. I managed to clip a decent size cutting from the bottom of the plant (I heard low cuttings have higher growth or rooting hormones, I don't know for sure if this is true or just speculation. )
The end of the 1st flowering week and there aren't any signs of pistils or any other changes. Just a few inches growth after flipping it to flowering schedule. The plant is now 12 inches tall.
I attempted a very basic LST by tying down the top over to the side. It seemed to work and i hoped it could at least open up some areas to more light, but the next day it had kicked off the plant tie and was standing straight again. I decided the plant seems very healthy and happy regardless of any training being done.
Happy growing everyone ✌️
@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.
