Started the week off with a watering of the plant on 2/12/20 with 1 gallon. pH'd to 6.4 with runoff around 6.3 and up to approx. 30% runoff. Followed up with a feeding on 2/16/20 with 3 tsp Big Bloom, 2 tsp Tiger Bloom and I decided to vary from the recommended Grow Big feeding and only did 1 tsp rather than 2. I am starting to wonder if I should have gone with the extra tsp of grow big because she is showing signs of nitrogen deficiency and it seems a bit early for it to be flowering stage fade. The final feed for the week happened after a 4 days with no water which I estimate she needs every 3 days so she may look a bit droopy on the 2/16/20 pics. Runoff was again around 6.3 pH. Her counterparts in the garden have similar showings of fade but I have to remember these are a fast flowering genetic and should be finished 10-15 days earlier than the rest. This is very clear in her bud production as she is stacking and gaining some bulk. With that said, the fade could be very on par with typical late stage flowering fade as that would technically put her 2 weeks ahead. Alternatively, the yellowing started on the bottom middle and this could just be a calcium deficiency. I do not believe I will give her any cal/mag in the next week as I think I will instead adjust the next grow to do a supplemental feeding of it sooner. Also some light defoliation of yellowed leaves as well is anything blocking on the top of the canopy. Her height has really picked up this last week on her main colas and she is at a similar height to her garden mates but she still remains the short and stocky one of the bunch.
Thanks for updating. My FF3 is one week behind you. And this week I’ll feed her with boron additive to see.
On the other hand, your FF3 leaves seem green enough. However, I am used to Sativa. And Sativa has lighter shade if green.
@Med_in_Tropic, the smell was weak but did indeed have a skunky sort of smell to it. This only started in wee 4 however. I have not notice any smell of significance from FF3 but I will double check her and update with this weeks post!
Hi @Jayann, how was the smell on GG4 during vegging?
Mine FF 3's had week berry smell when they were inside.
Just curious to narrow down the possible genetic. It could be important in deciding what to feed them and by how much.
@Jayann, same issue on size mate.
During Veg FF 3 is small compare to my FF7 and FF 10.
Comparing to your grow, my height is okay but leaf size is not. Could be the light and nutes.
Although I have spider mite issue with one plant.
Roots are okay. And your idea GG4 is the most plausible so far.
Think I’ll experiment with different feeding to see if that is it.
@Garreweedlover, That is possible actually. First time running 1000 w HPS. I had it 16 " from the plants and used a lux meter but that doesnt mean things didn't get to hot. I did not run an exhaust due to it being winter and so the highest it would get in the room was 77 but aside from all that, the light just very well could have been to close. Something to keep in mind for the future for sure!
@Garreweedlover, Thank you! No males at all and in a pretty sterile indoor environment but I still blame it on myself for letting her go so long. Happy growing!
