Seems to be a nutrient lockout, underfeed, maybe some heat stress. She looks pale and there is some chlorosis between the veins. I increased the cal-mag from .5 to 1.5 over the week and it seems to have helped. I added epsom salts to the reservoir and will give her a epsom salt foliar spray tonight.
Next week I will increase my nutrients to 1-1.2 EC and increase the cal-mag to 2.5ml/gal.
09 Dec (Day3) - PH 5.9 PPM 420. Added .5ml/gal (5ml) Cal-mag
13 Dec (Day7) - PH 5.8 PPM 380.
Increased feed this week
Topped
Moved light higher to get some more node spacing
14 Dec (Day1) - Added epsom salts to reservoir. PH 5.9 PPM 380. Used Foliar Spray 30 minutes before lights out of epsom salts and water
15 Dec (Day2) - PH 5.9 PPM 485. Res change. 7ml/gal grow, 2.5ml/gal cal-mag, 2ml/gal karma, .25ml/gal armor si, 1ml/gal hydroguard.
16 Dec (Day3) - PH 5.8 PPM 485. topped at 6th node. removed bottom two arms, so bringing arms 2-5 to flower.
18 Dec (Day5) - PH 5.8 PPM 540. Added 5ml grow to increase PPMs.

Week 3 I had her around 1 EC.. this week increased to 1.2. She has some discoloration, but I am hoping the reservoir change yesterday will fix some of the issues she has.. she already looks happier. In the next few days I will defoliate.. the node spacing on this plant is wild.. so I will try and clean that up before I go to flower. I don't have a large amount of room, going to be 5 plants in my 4x4, so I want to try and focus the energy on top bud sites.

So I did something kind of dumb this week and it shows in the plant health. Earlier in the week I decided to lower the PPMs and bring the EC down to 1.0... I shouldn't have done that, in fact I should have increased it. I saw the PPMs dip on Day2, so I added water to the reservoir to bring the PPMs down from 585-525.. ran it for a couple days and the PH started to drop and the plant looked worse. Lesson learned 😀.
Looks like a Phosphorus deficiency, maybe calcium.. running at too low of a PH for too long... probably something else too.. I thought Iron because of the yellowing, but it is probably low nutrients/lockouts of a couple different elements.
To add insult to injury.. I checked my PH meter and it was .3 off.. I normally check it every week and its normally good, but I waited 2 weeks this time.. so during weeks 3 and 4 the PH was probably closer to 5.4-5.7 than the 5.7-6.0 range I wanted.
Did a reservoir change today, so I will find out in the next day or so if increasing the nutrients worked... Increasing from EC 1 to 1.3.
Day2 - PH 5.9 PPM 585. Added PH up and water PPMs brought down to 535 calibrated PH meter, was .3 low. Defoliated, spray with neem oil
Day7 - PH 5.8 PPM 655. Reservoir Change - 12 ml/gal grow, 3ml/gal cal-mag, 2.5ml/gal karma, .25ml/gal armor si, 2ml/gal hydroguard. - Water: 75 Epsom salt: 20-25, armor si: 10-15, Cal-mag: 100-115, Karma: 20-30, Grow: 400
My feed for this week:
75 PPMs - base water
10-15: Armor Si
130-150: Cal-mag + epsom salt

37 Days of Veg are over +7 germination (44 from start on Day 1 Flower).
She is still yellow at the tops and doesn't look the healthiest, but she is growing large and looks like it will be a nice producer. I am not sure what's going on, maybe still underfeeding slightly. I am not going to do anything drastic with the feed, she looks decent overall. I am hoping the switch to flower will change the plants feed requirements and I will meet those with a nice healthy dose of bloom nutrients. So she SHOULD 😬 look much better next week.. or maybe the opposite and she is low on N and switching the nutrients this early will cause worse issues 😱 lol. We will see.
10 Jan (Day5) - PH 5.9 PPM 670. Reservoir Change - 13ml/gal bloom, 3ml/gal cal-mag, 3ml/gal karma, 1.5ml/gal hydroguard, .25ml/gal armor si.
My base feed for this week:
75 PPMs - base water

10-15 Epsom Salt
100-115: Cal-mag
20-30: Karma
=~250-275 PPMs (.5-.6 EC) of micros
400: Grow (.8 EC)

She is still a little yellow at the tops and shows some spotting on the fan leaves, but it hasn't gotten worse.. possibly better. I cleaned up the middle of the plant and removed a lot of small nodes. Overall the growth is good, hopefully she slows down and stops stretching over the next couple of days. I had the light a little close ~18-20 inches, so I raised it up on Day 6 to 24-25"... maybe raising the light will help with the yellowing. The EC stayed at around 1.4.. I will probably increase the feed slightly with my next change.. probably increase it another .1 EC with epsom salts and some more bloom... not a major increase.
F9 Day2 - PH 5.8 PPM 675. Added 1 gallon. 15ml bloom, 3.5ml cal-mag, 2.5 karma
F12 Day5 - PH 6.0 PPM 700. Added 1 gallon. 15ml/gal bloom, 3.5ml/gal cal-mag, 2.5ml/gal karma.

Looking better this week. The yellowing at the bud sites seemed to go away and hopefully she is done stretching. The buds are starting to look nice and she is growing well. Strong plant/strain so far. She seems happy around 1.3-1.4 EC, so I don't plan to increase it this week, just feed less N and more P/K. It's hard to balance when the bloom is only in 1 jug and the cal-mag has N in it, but I plan to add the hydroplex (0-10-6) at about .25/.5ml/gal during the middle of the week to maintain a nice amount of P and keep the N low. I am not too concerned with Potassium, because there is a lot in my base bloom feed (2-3-5).. but I think she will need a little more P for the next week or two.
25 Jan (F20 Day6) - PH 6.0 PPM 650. Added 1 gallon - 3.75ml bloom, 3.75ml cal-mag, 1.25ml hydroplex. PPMs were 750 PH 6.1
My base feed for this week: 13ml/gal bloom, 3ml/gal cal-mag, 2.5ml/gal karma, 1.5ml/gal hydroguard. no armor si. + epsom salts
80 PPMs - base water
20-25 Epsom Salt
120-130: Cal-mag
20-30: Karma
=~225-250 PPMs (.4-.5 EC) of micros
450-500: Bloom (.9-1.0 EC)

Pretty easy week... plan to keep her around EC 1.3-1.4 and remove the hydroplex and epsom salts for next week. After I added the additional cal-mag Day 4 the PH (5.9-6.1) and PPMs (680-690) remained pretty stable.
Next week I will focus on washing the roots to help get all the built up salts so I can have a nice flush.
Looks like my harvest is right around the corner with this plant. My guess is F53-F58.. breeder timeline is 49-63 days.
She is slowing down on eating as well. I will start to slowly bring the PPMs down, 650 (EC 1.3) now, and do a 5-7 day flush.
Started to see some amber trichomes on the buds.. very few ~1%.
The EC stayed pretty stable at 1.1-1.2. I am planning to bring the feed down slowly over the next few days then start my 5 day flush. I am going to try and push these plants until F60, but with a hermie from 1 of the other plants I don't want to keep her in too long and start producing seeds.
The smoke is really nice.. more uplifting and energy than a downer. Nice terpene profile.. good amount of frost.
Strong plant... happy I decided to pop these seeds!
Popped 2 free seeds I got from an order back around Christmas time 2018. Both popped quickly, but I only had room for 1, so I culled the other plant early.
She could have benefited from some lollipopping and some more defoliation early flower.. I am getting there 😁.
There weren't any real problems overall except she got hit by a herm. Luckily she was flowering pretty quick and she still had a good amount of weight on her.

🌱🌱Thanks for stopping by and happy growing!! 👊👊
@Quexos, I have been thinking of turning my veg tent into an auto tent for a while.. I think i might, especially after this grow. Ahh love some gorilla glue and lime gelato sounds bomb. Good luck with the grow!
@@motaman311, That's why I have a photo and an auto tent. I have a Lime Gelato auto that I'm going to grow in a few months. I just put a Gorilla Glue Auto in the ground. I have a seed problem as well. I think I have enough seeds to keep me in herb until I'm in my 80's.
@Quexos, trimming is fun for about the first hour.. then its 😰. I had the Jack Herrer's too, but I didn't move them passed germination.. only because I didn't have room. I am kind of wishing I kept them around now haha. I still have a couple Gelat OG's but not sure if I will ever get to grow them... to many seeds not enough room!
@DjDaveAtHome, thanks for your kind words! You'll probably do better.. I am just giving them food and letting these different genetics show what they have. This 1 IDK about though. She has been growing well, but never has looked extremely happy. Im interested to see what is going to happen over the next couple weeks when the buds start forming.
More than 4.5 OZ! Good on ya, Mate!
Some forum members on a Canadian site trade cannabis through the mail. Across the whole country. A pkg disappeared. Was able to register a claim. One of the items on the claim form was 'Recreational Cannabis'. The PO even has 'Scent Free' envelopes for such purposes. It's a damn shame our borders are so restrictive. Would love to trade gram per gram and actually experience your success!
Congratulations on a great grow! Was fun to follow.
@DjDaveAtHome, thanks! 1 day and i hope in the not too distant future.
Stinks about the package. Hopefully the US will federally legalize it in the next few years and make it easy.
Ive ordered a couple ounces of CBD through the mail here with no problems.. It is legal. Hoping bud gets the same way.
Frosty....did you get a new camera??? I wish I had something better for photos...….looking really yummy...almost like WEDDING CAKE....not GSCrack.....hmmmmm….good news the dry cure method paper bag plastic tub seems to have retained the nice poison fuel terps...im just getting into the majority of it....I smoked the Littles and the top where it was LIKE ZERO NEGATIVE THREE INCHES FROM THE LIGHT.....so 95% of the plant turned out great using the method we talked about....IM HAPPY WITH IT....not perfect but...damn close
Yeah if you get that kind of frosty I would not change anything....nicely done..13 weeks....are you going to flush one week now?????
Red Hairs:...Trichomes White.....you are A MASTER now....or feed less one week flush one week??? THC CONTENT LOOKS REALLY HIGH RIGHT NOW....that could drop you go to long....
WELL YOU WANTED A FAST FLOWER?????....SEVEN WEEKS SHE IS READY NOW...FLUSH FOR FIVE DAYS AT LEAST...….flavor man flavor
@@motaman311, I just hold it to the tablet...a third hand would be nice...well banner is Strawberry diesel back cross to an O.G. Mother....Strawberry Cough was the clone ONLY IN MENDOCINO NO OTHER REAL STRAWBERRY COUGH...JUST ON MOTHER.....then Straw Cough & Sour D cross to OG.... which would mean Banner also has Chemdog going back before Sour D.....also FROM MENDOCINO WHERE TERRAPIN STATION IS......The Dead played the bar every now and then years ago....like is said IT ALL COMES FROM MENDOCINO ORIGINALLY....
Makes sense based on where CHEM comes from...…
I'm going to breed banner and Chem Jong Un....Since they are Regular seeds only.....just so I have seeds of plenty...
CHECK HER OUT.....FLUXING aka MAIN LINE PLANT......SIX TOTAL TOPS...SHE'S DOING IT...
F.Y.I. my weed is coming back around nicely.....AFTER THE PLASTIC TUB BAG DRY TILL TRIMMED...I have it in the 10 cup container with two LARGE humidity packs 62.5% air tight seal....ONLY OPENED ONCE A DAY TO CHECK IF IT WAS DRY....I took it out flipped it around for two days....SINCE I have only opened it to weigh my self out two quarters....
SMOKE FLAVOR IS COMING AROUND NICELY...terps are coming back nicely....
Like I said im happy with the quality FOR NOT HAVING PERFECT DRYING CONDITIONS....very happy for that matter.....
@@Wilson_McNugget, Those sound awesome. I like chem cuts... Chem x Lemon Thai I think is 1 of my favorites OG Kush. I've been hearing a lot of great things about bruce banner.
Good idea with the magnifying glass.. I have to get a 3rd hand lol.. or a stand to hold my phone steady.
I found this...50gal collapsible water container with spicket at the bottom...$40 GREAT DEAL.....best I can find and they have bigger ones.....IM THAT STONED THIS IS MY THIRD MESSAGE....I MEANT TO SAY THIS...but you had left a different message....I got side tracked...
