Every week seems to have some positives and negatives lately. I think I need to step back and begin at the beginning after my current grows are over and attempt to relearn and be extremely accurate and thorough to try finding where my problems are.
The single clone from the Gypsy is doing beautifully, she needed a bigger cup so we did a nice smooth transplant using a butter knife, Xtreme Gardening Mycos, 20 oz cup with happy frog soil, and some PH'd water. She's had no signs of transplant shock. She's currently under 2 CFL bulbs for 18 hours.
The mother plant is the problem. Her buds are growing and they're looking beautiful, slowly sparkling and have nice pistil color changes. However she's getting more and more discolored leaves. I've tried to modify the feedings, recalibrate my ph pen, and now I've started letting my water sit to let out excess chlorine. She has red stems which makes me think of a phosphorus deficiency, but then some of the leaves seem like a cal/mag deficiency.
I expect we've got only a couple weeks to go until harvest. So I'll just be patient and reset/clean the tent afterwards.
Happy growing all.✌️
@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.
