Everything is coming along nicely. I fed a compost tea with phytoplankton diluted to 450ppm and a salt feed diluted to 450ppm minus tap water yesterday after plants started showing some odd deficiencies. I’m seeing yellowing on lower foliage and brown spots all over one of the zkittlez. I pulled the infected leaves but it seems to keep getting worse. Hopefully the feeding will help. I separated the plants to give them more space in each tent. The light intensity from my fluence knockoff is way to high and I have no way of dimming it so I just raised it and unplugged a couple of the bars. I am also only running it 18/6. After a few days a couple of the plants were drooping like crazy so I moved them back to the MH tent and they sprang back up. The JOTI plants all seem to really enjoy the high intensity LED as they’re all praying up and not drooping. I did another defoliation to the zkittlez and slurricanes to stunt them and even out my canopy a bit. The slurricanes are very leggy so I had no choice but to LST them down. The canopy is starting to even out now. I’m afraid that when I flip into flower they’re going to stretch too close to the light. Good thing my LED has a safe zone of 8 inches. I’m letting the veg temp get up into the low-mid 80’s and the plants seem to respond better to the high temps. The higher temps slow and even kill powdery mildew spores so that should be good for the slurricanes. I saw a small bit coming back so I doused it with milk again and it seems to have worked. I’m going to discontinue the “Nature’s Candy” fert in the remo nutrient line as I heard the unused sugars can contribute to black ash. For the compost tea, I am only using a teaspoon or less of molasses per 5 gallons of water to feed the microbes.
@Kushizlez,almost literally apples to oranges but essentially the same thing if properly flush it should burn great and taste great did you use neem oil or insecticidal soap not sure but it’s possible that might be the issue
@@SNoWfLaKe420, Read the diary. These plants were heavily flushed for 2-3 weeks depending on the strain. Flushing does nothing for burn, at least in soil. Almost all them burned like shit due to lack of mineral content in the medium. I can send you peer reviewed studies on what makes tobacco ash white and burn well. In the tobacco industry, nobody ever flushes their plants and they burn super white. It has nothing to do with leaching or flushing and more to do with mineral/potassium content. I’ve had this problem before and I’ve narrowed it down to using pure peat moss and perlite (promix HP), A.K.A a medium with no added minerals.
How you get all these top strains in bag seeds ppl be letting they plants hermie and fuck themselves lol that’s the only way you get 1 or 2 random seeds in a oz or they couldn’t keep the pollen out of the female area if you have regular seeds you can sex your plants when they’re a couple weeks old I’ve honestly never grown a male out of probably 15-20 bag seed plants all female and feminized a couple times but I haven’t grown cannabis in about 10 years and and back then fem seeds were like 20$ per seed and regular seeds were cheaper now the market is flooded with fem seeds and nobody wants them for breeding new strains cuz they’re useless due to fucking with the genetics to make them fem and fem seeds are only good for growing good bud to smoke I have a feeling I’ll grow my first male plant soon though I got jinxproof hell on wheels regular and 3 funnybone x 9# hammer for free with the order
@@SNoWfLaKe420, I’ve noticed that although the quality in my area is much better, I still find occasional bag seeds in literal exotic grade weed. Even the stuff grown by top growers. It’s unavoidable now. All of the old cuts that float around here, like Pink kush, bubba, tuna kush ect. are still very stable and I never find bagseeds in them. Same with a lot of European genetics. My Dad was saying back in the 80s almost 90% of his plants would herm by harvest, outdoor and indoors, even if grown properly. Herming is nature’s way of telling you something is not happy. Trees and many other plants do it as well. My guess is that many of these new elite California genetics are just more genetically predisposed to herming than a lot of Dutch and Canadian genetics.
