Looking a bit yellow, going to start feeding her some base nutes, also moved the light up a bit.

So I thought the yellowing was because she needed feeding, turns out it was the start of root rot, last grow I wanted to hang the plant whole so I got my buddy to saw through the trunk whilst I held the plant anyway he sawed through the net pot a bit, I didnt think anything of it as didnt look pierced but on closer inspection it was pierced and letting light in, she just hasn't developed to well and is tall and skinny and the 1st node just hasn't developed at all, I think I've fixed the issue now and she seems happier, new roots look good but they are underdeveloped but hopefully I can pull it back.

Shes been recovering well this week since I found that tiny light leak, just shows how sensitive the roots are to light although there looking nice and white now, hopefully she kicks in now 🙃

I topped this girl this week as she was stretching to much for my liking and also did a little lst, she looks a bit small but she hasn't got her first nodes as because of my early fuck up and root rot it just didnt develop so I cut them off, shes doing pretty well though and looks ready to get her grow on!

Happy with how she is shaping up and she should fill her space nicely but her sister maybe not so but all good, ran out of veg nutes so this is the first time I've used full on bloom nutes during transition, not a massive amount of stretch going but I think she will produce 🤞

All going good, got some nice early frost which is nice, getting sticky and smelling fruity! Need to give her 1 more haircut and then just cruise control until the end hopefully, going through the res quickly now though and need to top off about 6 litres everyday 🤠

Buds developing nicely, she could be a fast finisher as quite a few pistils turning orange already, smelling really fruity 🤩

Doing ok, starting to get some deficiencies, should have done a res change as havent done one in a while, she seems to be a phosphorus whore but also could be down to the intensity of the light as have pushed it this grow. In saying that though she smells absolutely fantastic, can really smell the banana now!

Starting to chunk up a bit, she is where I would pretty much expect her to be, she should finish with lots of medium sized buds, just cant wait to smoke this girl now

big ass root already...... none of mine have them that big yet.
MrGreenFingers
MrGreenFingerscommented5 years ago
@Fleetwood, oh that was just to stop the light getting in the res, that's the only issue because its planted pretty deep I need to wait for a day or 2 before I can fill the larger net pot with clay pebbles
Fleetwood
Fleetwoodcommented5 years ago
@MrGreenFingers,Excellent, thanks. What is the foil used for?
MrGreenFingers
MrGreenFingerscommented5 years ago
@Fleetwood, yeah I've done it on every grow, no stability is fine as you still get side roots which grow through the clay pebbles, it's just this way the tap root is in the water 2/3 days after germination, I just added a few pictures to show you what i mean

Think I may have the same problem, light leaking into my res. So the foil helped til you put more clay pebbles in? To bad I misplaced mines and had to go with river rocks from Lowe's til I can order some more pebbles.

@MrGreenFingers,my net pots are 6 inches but ima try cutting out some cardboard to block the light
MrGreenFingers
MrGreenFingerscommented5 years ago
@caliboyyy22, good to hear everything is opening back up but hopefully it's not to early! What size are your net pots, you could buy some neoprene collars or you could make a cardboard cutout to cover the grow stones maybe?
caliboyyy22
caliboyyy22commented5 years ago
@MrGreenFingers,all is well, my state has actually opened back up but I still dont trust it. Will probably wait until next year to do the things I want to do like fishing and going to the beach or river to swim. Yeah I think I might have that issue but the light is shining through my river rocks I believe gotta take another look at where the light is coming from.
