Gold Leaf

Bad picture I know, but here she is! She responded so well to everything I did to her and I am so proud of her (and myself to be quite honest😂) The only big problem I had with her was early stage Manganese deficiency. This quickly stopped spreading after a day or two of foliar spray. You can see some on the left lateral fan leaf🍀 I did some very LST just to even out her canopy. These pictures are her last day with an 18-6 light schedule. She is now officially on a 12 on and 12 off schedule. I have learned SOOOO much about germination, seedling and vegetative growth from her, and the Super Lemon Haze plant I’m growing. These two are now preparing for flowering, can’t wait to see some results🌺🍀🌞

So here she is😂 She has grown so much the past few days, both length and width wise. She was about 8 inches tall the first day of her 12-12 light cycle change. She is now about 11! Her canopy and bud sites have continued to grow like crazy!!🌞 I am trying to avoid overfeeding, so my last two waterings have been just water! I did however make a foliar spray with some cal-mag and flora-micro to do a nice misting right before lights out! I’m doing this just to make sure she has all the micronutrients she needs! If you want to make a foliar spray add a small drop of dish soap for a wetting agent and then add whatever nutrients you think she may need. Also, spray just before your lights turn off. This is best because the next 15 minutes your plant will be relaxing her leaves, this is also the prime time for her to absorb needed nutrients through her foliage. This is also great because you don’t have to worry about overloading the soil with nutrients!

Well, I was finally hit with my first big deficiency. It seems that I caught the deficiency fairly quick as the very two bottom leaves were the only ones that were majorly affected. I took a look at the symptoms and figured nitrogen deficiency was the most likely cause💊. I made a nutrient solution that included a higher dose of vegetative formula that contains a good amount of Nitrogen. I gave her about 0.5 gallons of this fresh nutrient solution in hopes of restoring any unbalanced pH in the root zone and also correcting any Nitrogen deficiency. My Super Lemon Haze plant also started to show early signs of Nitrogen deficiency so I also gave her 0.5 gallons of the same nutrient solution. I was amazed to wake up the next morning to see that both plants were thriving and sseemed to have grown about 2 inches overnight. There is no new signs of the Nitrogen deficiency continuation. This was a very scary moment but a great learning experience😂. It seems that Nitrogen deficiency is fairly common when plants are switched over to flowering stage. Other than that both plants are growing so fast and looking so healthy at this point😁

Plant has been doing great! She seems to have recovered from the nitrogen deficiency she had. When trying to correct the nitrogen deficiency I ended up causing a nitrogen toxicity that I have been flushing out the past couple days. I put her in a Super Lemon Haze plant in the sun for about two hours yesterday. I gave both plants a decent amount of nutrients and watered with a gallon of water each🌞 I am about done with low stress training because her stem has started to thicken and become stronger. She doesn’t have as many bud sites as my super lemon haze plan but I think she’s going to be a beautiful harvest🌱
