@Zannabis7, Yes the Crystal Meth is the strain I would grow again, it seems to take a bit longer than the other purple strains I grew at the same time but it did not have the problems the LSD25 had. The Crystal Meth endured strong nutrients without any nut burn while the other strain got nutrient burn. The Crystal Meth also formed bigger tighter buds and grew in a much better way. Almost like a Christmas tree. So good for people with tight spaces. I will be doing another grow with the Crystal Meth strain.

That is a wild looking grow for sure. I agree with @Jaindoh about the potential overwater. I might suggest poking some holes in the soil with a skewer to get some air to the roots and help the soil dry out a bit!

@Gotcha, Hope it helps. Happy grows!

Gotchacommented7 years ago

@Zannabis7, Thanks, I'll give that a go!

@Zannabis7, I was reading all over the place that it is impossible to overwater in coco. The water certainly passes through quickly enough. I can see that leaving them sitting in accumulated runoff could be a problem so I don't do that!

@Gotcha,yeah man, every growers have their own way..you will find your way too.. Your plants looking healthy right now 🌱 Will be following.. 👊🏼😎

Gotchacommented7 years ago

@420_liquidsun, Thanks, I don't really know what I'm doing, I've done 3 months solid daily research before starting but everyone has different methods so I ended up looking at grow diary grows for the strains I want to try and then paid particular attention to the grows that had the best yeilds. I did note that both with Crystal Meth and LSD the plants that were the biggest were done on an 18/6 light schedule. I've been on 24 hour for veg but will drop back to 18/6 for flower I think. It makes sense that they will be less stressed with a little dark time each day.

It takes time to grow Cannabis bro. Try to build strong roots , more roots = more fruits 😉

Some killer looking colas. Nice grow. Best wishes on the harvest, cure, and tasty smoke. - Zannabis7

Zannabis7commented7 years ago

@Gotcha, Gotcha. Gotta love the science of a good grow!

Gotchacommented7 years ago

@Zannabis7, I have the opposite problem, it is summer here and it's always really hot, over 90! I am sure that has caused a few problems!

@Gotcha, Still a great grow. I have better luck with a longer light cycle (20/4 or 24/0). I am trying 24/0 this time due to winter temps and being able to keep the grow closet at the correct temp/humidity.

HOw much water you r giving to them, maybe you can give less water and they dry out more quick, i am giving 0.5 L in 2 days at this stage.. it depends to environment but you got the idea i guess.. 😉

Gotchacommented7 years ago

@420_liquidsun, Had better results this week with tap water at 6.1ph. just doing the weeks diary now. I look at them a lot each day paraniod about insects, Spray weekly with Neem oil which doesn't seem to hurt the plants, There were some tiny white things flying around at one stage and I thought I saw a fungus gnat the other day but the Neem oil seems to keep things almost non existent on the insect front. Do the soil as well as the folige and if I see anything flying about I drench everything.

Gotchacommented7 years ago

@420_liquidsun, I've been adding the nutes then balancing the ph. Just doing week 5, have made changes and have better results this week at 6.1 with 4ml Canna part a and b and no nutrients, also changed from rainwater to tap water as it is supposed to have calcium and magnesium, it's made a difference. Thanks for your advice.

420_liquidsuncommented7 years ago

@Gotcha,do you know why your Ph is not balancing.. did you try, first ph ed your water what you prefer then add canna nutes.. between 5.8-6.2 is sweet point for hydro grow.. try to be in between these numbers..forget about all the experiences that growers saying.. every grower has own way to grow.. you will find your way too.. observing is important, your plants allways says what they need or not..

Never follow manufacturers schedule at the beginning 😉 Those feeding charts are based for 1000W HPS by the way.

rootmastercommented7 years ago

@JUNGLE_B4RNS, thanks. but i never had nutrient probs till a little mistake i made last week. It burned 3 arms on three different plants. but i know what was the reason for that.... ;-) and by the way.... if those feeding charts are made for 1000W HPS.... okay i don´t have that... but i got 900W LED ;-)

JUNGLE_B4RNScommented7 years ago

@rootmaster, this might help you ☝️

Gotchacommented7 years ago

@JUNGLE_B4RNS, Yeah I've noticed the schedule is too hot for them. I'm guessing as it grows and the root system becomes extensive then you can up but I am going to stay at least 1.5ml under what they recommend for light feedings. Twice I went to the recommended dose and twice there was the beginning of nutrient burn, so flush and water with a weaker dose. In week 4 now so am sticking to 5ml of A and B and next week will go up to 6mls. I didn't read anything on the Canna site about lights being a factor. I will be adding a 600 watt LED in two weeks so there is red light, and will be keeping the CFL's to light from the sides as well. I'm thinking that as long as they are a reasonable distance away they won't hurt to have them as well.

Hi my friend, your plants look great. I would like to get some advices from your experiences, it's my first planting. That's why I have problems on when to harvest my plant. Would you please look at my diary and tell me around when should I harvest my plant? Additionaly, I'm thinking that I will have 150 gr dried harvest. What is your opinion, do I have to wait for something less? Thank you. ☺️😇

Gotchacommented7 years ago

@hiciste, I am told when the trichomes are amber is when you should harvest!

Gotchacommented7 years ago

@hiciste, Hi, this is my first grow so perhaps you should ask someone more experienced than I!

Rippercommentedweek 87 years ago

Looks great. How often are you watering?

Rippercommented7 years ago

@Gotcha, sounds perfect bud

Gotchacommented7 years ago

@Ripper, the coco takes ages to dry out so every 3-4 days!

Jaindohcommentedweek 167 years ago

Harvest always feels good! Will follow your profile for future grows =)

First grow going well! Got some symptoms there but nothing that cant be handled. Looks like you might be watering too often on top of the too much nutes. Hard to say from pics if it's just nitrogen toxicity claw, or the drooping is your roots not getting enough oxygen. Make sure you let the top knuckle of the soil dry out. It will let air get to the roots -- they need it or they will drown! If you're already watering sparsely it may just be claw, however. That technique -- as well as lifting the pot to assess water by weight -- will serve you well. The reduction in fingers on your leaves I associate with heat as well. If you can get the temps down towards 25 instead of 35 your plants will do much better. It is foxtailing but that's also fine it still smokes -- just less dense and less yield from that. Liked and followed! If anyone else has a better interpretation I'm always ears for that as well.

Gotchacommented7 years ago

@Jaindoh,Thanks for your input. I checked the A&B Canna Coco nutrients and both A&B have nitrogen, B appears to have much more. You have to mix the two parts together. The dose is always equal amounts. So at 1.5ml per 3 litres water it is not a large amount of anything. Anymore than that and the plants get nutrient burn. If I am adding Calmag I drop the dose back to 1ml. I think I will try some other nutrients because Canna is very confusing. If you dose at their recommended amounts the plants would die......far too hot!

DabCrabcommentedweek 77 years ago

Looks like this strong nutrient regiment you've been using is paying off on this lovely girl. You've done a fantastic job growing this beautiful girl. I can't wait to see whats in store for them in the next few weeks. I think they'll plump up very nicely and make some fat buds. Best wishes buddy. You are doing great :D

Gotchacommented7 years ago

@DabCrab, Thanks, the Crystal Meth strain seems to handle everything so much better than the LSD 25 strain. The 3 Crystal Meth plants have showed no signs of nut burn or clawing that the LSD does. Crystal Meth plants have remained healthy looking and strong throughout but all plants have shown slow growth until last week.

Fast_Budscommentedweek 37 years ago

Thanks for growing our genetics, good luck!! We’re really looking forward to it!! Enjoy Growing Faster.

Gotchacommented7 years ago

@Fast_Buds, thanks. I would like to do a good job for you but am running into issues, not sure if it is nute strength or over watering. The canna grow schedule for nutes seems too strong and when I up the dose I get the eagle claw even though I am under what they recommend. I've come back to feed 2.5ml less than their recommended dose. Also my coco doesn't seem to dry out, not wanting to starve the plants of nutes I water every second day but right now I am going to leave it til the top of the coco is completely dry which could take 5-7 days the way it dries.

Chuckiecommentedweek 37 years ago

Am just flushing out my crystal meth, mine didn't take well to too many nutes only used half dosage for this plant. looks and smells amazing. Good luck with yours

Gotchacommented7 years ago

@Chuckie, I'm running into issues and not sure if it is nutes or overwatering. Just doing week 4 now.

Zannabis7commentedweek 157 years ago

Thanks for the update. Still looking like a killer specimen. Very nice colas! Continued best wishes on the grow!
