Transplanted into 5 gallon fabric pots. It is doing well right now, looks ready to start the manifold by the end of this week. Will post before and after pictures next week.
Started main-lining it earlier in the week. This is my first try at main-lining, I am following Nugbuckets tutorial. After letting it grow for a couple of days tied it down to shape the mainfold. Sorry I forgot the before and after pictures on this one.
Sorry I missed photos last week. I've run into trouble with Jack Herrer in the last week. Many of the leaves have started dying and I am not sure what is causing it. I'm going to trim of all the wilting leaves to avoid having any rot in the tent. Hopefully it recovers Jack Herrer was my best plant in my last grow.
I've run into trouble with Jack Herrer in the last week. Many of the leaves have started dying and I am not sure what is causing it. The other plants in my grow are doing great in the same conditions.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Hi @Da_Magus! Too much nutrients, a bad pH range, and probably a bad watering routine, led to this situation. Now your rootmass is certainly in a nutrient-lockout scenario, being unable to manage nutrients uptake anymore. First, get a pH-pen a make sure it's perfectly calibrated, you will need to buffer every waterings within the good pH range for soil, 6.2~6.5, whether it's a feeding solution or only pure water you need to buffer it, for a healthy rootmass. Next, about your waterings, make sure to water with 15~20% of your pot's volume, never exceed 20% or you might flood the roots. After each watering, let the medium dry a bit, not 100% dry for too long, but the pot should feel lightweight, roots need to be on a wet/dry cycle to properly spread, searching for water. Finally you can consider flushing, with heavy loads of water (at least twice of the container's volume) to get rid of old nutrients/salts and start on a fresh basis. But if you do so, try to help the medim to dry, by putting a small fan blowing a continuous breeze onto the container's surface, if you flush heavily and do not help the drying process you might encounter over-watering symptoms. Hope this will help, let us know how this goes, and happy growing! 👊
Well I have flushed her out with pH adjusted water. I went slightly higher than normal with the pH at 6.8 it seems to have solved the worst of the issue. She still isn't drinking that much. I had her at 4 tops before the problem and I am going to leave her at that.
Looks like the Jack Herrer is going to pull through. Finally started growing again this week, it added a little height but is still going to be the runt of this grow. Leaving it at 4 tops will move it to flower with the rest of my crop in a week or so. I definitely think it got some kind of nutrient lockup, I don't normally check runoff pH but when I was flushing her the first readings were 5.2! And that was with using 6.8 water. I am using fox farm ocean Forest plus 20% perlite right now.
Switched to flowering today. Jack Herrer seems to have mostly recovered from the nutrient lockout. It is behind the rest of my crop but the rest were ready flowering.
Week two of flower. Not expecting much out of Jack Herrer this grow. She is still experiencing some problems. I'm thinking I will see how it goes but if my other plants need the space I might have to let her go.
