End of flowering:
Been a decent week. A lot of testing, trial and error, and learning from mistakes in this grow. This plant has an abundance of orange pistils, and the trichromes seem to be making their changes from clear into the milky zone slowly. Seeing as the end is upon us I'm removing the majority of any nutrients from here on.
We're down to about a week until the Exotic grow challenge is over and it looks like we're not going to make it. I don't want to chop before it's time and I would still need to at least dry, and preferably cure a bit. I think if i had started the grow just 1 week earlier I might have made it, but it's been fun to race the clock and problem solve at the same time.
I talked with some growers about chlorinated water and how i hadn't been leaving the water out to evaporate out. I also have a bad habit of misting my plants with water that hasn't had the chlorine removed or PH'd. Huge mistake on my part but one done out of living in very dry conditions. Perhaps I'll wise up and use a humidifier next time.
The last possible thought was the lights we chose to use and their benefits and downfalls. I heard that some LEDs can make plants needs for certain nutrients rise, like cal/mag/potassium.
I'll continue to test these possibilities on healthy plants and watch for changes and confirmation of the cause of the discolored leaves.
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.
