We've struggled with this grow since day 1 and now those struggles are showing their effects. Plants #1 and #3 have taken the worst of it, which i find interesting. Plant #2 was the one that i topped and it's handled the stresses much better. Day 57: - flushed plants with pH6.2 dechlorinated tap water, approximately 3 gallons of water through each plant (5 gallon pots) - Runoff from plants #1 & #3 reading TDS levels of 1400ppm! (tested first 500ml of runoff) - Runoff from plant #2 testing at 650ppm (tested first 500ml of runoff) - Plants #1 & #3 looking very rough, lots of yellowing/browning and dying leaves. Day 58: - no water - removed dying leaves from lower branches - it's possible that the flush *might* have helped... still early to tell. Day 59: - no water, soil still damp to touch - increased lower fan speed from 1 to 2 - removed 4" intake duct connected to A/C unit. The outside air intake has been sufficient to keep the tent cool, even a bit too cool during the night. - increased light intensity from 90 to 95% during the night to help off-set colder outside air temps. Day 60: - watered with dechlorinated tap water, pH adjusted to 6.3/6.4. Day 61: - light intensity at constant 95%, 18/6 cycle. - removed dead leaves from lower half of plants. - plant #1: buds look the weakest of the 3 plants. - plant #2: showing more trichome production. Plant seems a bit further along than the other 2. Bud density seems to be improving, but very slowly. - plant #3: buds still seem relatively healthy Day 62: - no water - noticeable increase in smell Day 63: - watered with tap water, pH adjusted to 6.4 - measured first 100ml of runoff. Plants #1 and #3 showed TDS levels of approx. 400ppm. Plant #2 was approx. 250ppm

Grow Questions

VanCplGrowsstarted grow question 5 years ago
Been struggling with leaf issues for weeks. Initially thought lockout due to N toxicity. Plants improved after flush in Week 7 but then promptly started worsening a few days ago. Is this a continuation of a lockout issue? Would you feed? Flush? Advice is welcome! ๐Ÿ™

Hello VanBrando, i think there are alot of thing you could have done different but thats the past. Lets talk about the future. How i see it you cant do alot to bounce them back up at this stage, so my only advice is to flush them a few days until all the leaves almost are dead or yellow and brown. After that you just cut them, dry them and cure them and hope for the best of it. I do also wanne give you some extra tips on your next grow. Maybe you can train your plants next time a little bit more and train them till the end of harvest. I would open them up much more so theres more light penetrating more buds and also better airflow throug your canapy. I'd also recommend that you defoliate and remove the lower growth that cant or almost has light to improve the buds that are under the light. Hope it was an helpfull answer, i wish u much luck brother. Keep on growing, Peace ๐Ÿ˜Ž

To me your girls look thirsty....... and its possible that they have slatbuiltups so go with aflush to clear that.. greetings and happy growing

@Mrs_Larimar, Thanks, i'll try that. My last 2 feedings were at 600ppm. I tested my runoff during my last plain-water watering and it was 600ppm, which i thought was odd... Same out as what's going in? The last time i flushed they seemed to improve. I appreciate your input, Cheers!

Added some pics to the week, I see! ๐Ÿ˜ Haha. Growdiaries allows nipples (check out the "Naked Buds" contest they ran, it's awesome), so if you want, it could save you some time photoshopping. ๐Ÿ˜† Anyways, still glad to see the experiment is going well, good luck!

@MovingOn, Damn, I've been worried they might get flagged but ya, i checked out that contest and looks like it's fine. Good news 'cause i felt like the Photoshoped pasties were taking away from the photos. Maybe i'll swap 'em out for the unedited versions. ;)

After the 48hrs of darkness, the plants looked a bit more frosty but plants #1 and #3 definitely could've used another week. Plant #1 is very spindly, with the smallest buds of the 3 plants.

@VanCplGrows, Thank you! My first grow was eaten by my dog. So this will be my second shot at my first grow. Iโ€™m sure Iโ€™ll be making many more errors than you.

@VanCplGrows, yeah you can see that! That is the main thing having fun and watching them change is mesmerising for sure! Also got some LSD auto on the go myself, encountered a few issues aswell.. feel free to check out my diary, week 8 coming soon with updates of a whole new issue haha

@Teddy, Thanks man. Those plants had a ton of potential, that's for sure! We're having fun with the grow though and learning a lot. ๐Ÿ‘

Too much water, maybe? I only do about a third or less of that per 24 hrs, or even half of that (a sixth of your volume). With around 7tsp of nutrients per gallon, that is a lot of nutrients - could too much nutrients per every 24hrs cause a lockout? (I'm not an expert yet)

@VanCplGrows, you can try to post a "Grow Question". Maybe somebody will chime in with the answer. I know that when I had brown spots like that, I added CaMg+ (a calcium magnesium supplement), and my spots stopped multiplying. I read that calmag deficiencies are common in LED gardens. *Edit: oh wait, I see that you are already using a calmag supplement. Hmm, I guess I just don't know. ๐Ÿ˜…

@MovingOn, I normally water every 48-72hrs but it really just depends on the plants. I wait until the pots are very light before i water but i definitely won't be using that "Black Gold Container Mix" any more. It has a tendency to hold water too well and the pot dries out too unevenly, with the outside few inches around the pot becoming bone dry while the core is still moist. Definitely won't be using that soil in future grows. I really feel like most of my issues are due to a lockout but ya, i'm still too inexperienced to know exactly what the problems are... a lot of trial and error going on right now! LOL

Interesting experiment you have going there. I'll be interested to see the result.
VanCplGrows
VanCplGrows
@MovingOn, So far, despite a few issues that appear to be affecting all 3 plants equally, the natural growing plant with no training does seem to be larger and more robust than the othets. I'm curious myself, to see how they turn out (assuming i get my nutirents back on track!).

@VanCplGrows, do you know how to ask "Grow Questions"? Someone who knows what is happening could probably reply to it, since when you post Grow Questions, they post up on the site separate from the regular feed.

What did your end smoke wind up being like? I'm growing LSD fem right now (1st grow) and I'm planning on growing LSD auto next time, but I haven't found much about how strong it is compared to the standard LSD fem. Thanks
VanCplGrows
VanCplGrows
@flatblack, Well, we turned our whole harvest into kief hash so I can't comment much on the quality of the buds but it did make some very nice hash! I wouldn't say it's super strong... But it's got a good punch to it.
