Im lst #2 and will do so every week so the plant has enough time to recover. It's also my first time trying this so don't want to go overboard.
I will also start lst on the new tops coming out of #1 i was thinking of waiting a week after topping but 2 weeks will probably be better.
You can see 4 tops forming on the topped plant. In a few days i'll lower the highest tops (coming from where i cut) so the lower 2 can catch up and i'll have 4 equal tops
On the other plant i'm using lst to try and make a spiral figure from the main stem
First i want to correct myself because i thought i was using 10 & 15L pots but they are 3,5 & 5L. I made two 60L pots to transplant them in 1 or 2 week(s).
I was wondering if someone had experiences with having to remove lst wires when changing pots and continuing lst afterwards.
I made a small tear/cut while doing LST on #2 and i tried taping it up a bit. Because of this i won't be able te do LST i think for a week or 2. The top of the plant isn't showing any signs of stress or slower growth so i don't think it's to bad
Plant #2 started to make 9 fanned leaves.
I moved the plants in to bigger 60 liters pots. Watering them in these new pots is kinda confusing because i can't really rely on their weight. I doubled the water and tried getting some around the whole pot. I'll probably wait 3 days between watering unless they look thirsty.
We had some really good weather this week, sun all day and 20°C +. Now the week is over its getting a bit colder and cloudier.
The babies are really growing nicely its a lot of fun seeing them growing and caring for them. It's very rewarding especially with covid-19 because there isn't a lot to do at the moment.
There is a slight smell, after checking them for bugs and touching their leaves a lot my hands smell like the plants afterwards
This week was een colder week than before. I also think there are trips on my plants im not sure so i orded neem oil to spray on my plants because of the white spots on the leaves, i'd like your opions/help.
I also think i discoverd early stage of mildew on the lower leaves which i cut of just to be sure. I also put of a picture of where i think it was
she looks very unhappy and i don't know why, leaves are curled down. 2nd set of leaves seems like having burnt tips.
4th picture is the same seed which i treated the same i added for reference
This week the weather was a lot better, night temperatures were a lot higher as well.
I think the neem oil helped because i see less insects and less damages on my plants.
In about 3 weeks im going to switch them to 12/12, i was wondering if i should defoliate my plants more before switching to flower
This week will be a lot warmer. I didn't do a lot this week just let them grow. After i took the pictures i did some lst but the stems are getting really hard. I'm excited to see them change when i will change them to flower.
The lower leaves and leaves that don't get a lot of sun turn yellow. I'm not sure if there is a N shortage or if its normal.
Hey man,
It could also be a root problem, with the plastic pot not allowing enough oxygen to diffuse into the soil for the roots to breath. You could try poking some small holes in the side of the pot.
I use tap water that i filter with active carbon ( its this big container ). I don't have a ph tester so i don't test the water. I've used bio soil that i mixed with bonemeal, bloodmeal and grinded eggshells. Maybe these don't contain alot of iron/magnesium/zinc/sulfur?
Next time add some epsom salts to the soil mix you can also make a foliar spray with epsom salts or molasses to help with calcium defeciency and general plant health. But I think what you've got here is a slight nitrogen defeciency. 🌱👍
Update on previous deficiency question
The leaves got worse, its still only a few so not too bad. After doing some research i think it could be a Manganese, magnesium and/or Sulphur shortage.
I fed some liquid calmag a day ago. I plan to use epsom salt if there is no change
mobile vs immobile -- where it is on the plant tells you this.. if it's sucking it from the bottom it's mobile. if it happens where light is most prominents, it's more likely immobile.
how the fade occurs from margins to tips or tips to margins is a differentiating factor too (when looking at leaf chart -- see one linked in my GD profile comments)
dots, colors of the dots, how it starts and progresses, etc.. all help you deduce what is going on.. this is only part of what you need to do to make a confident decision.
pH is important.. keep it consistent or adjust and keep it consistent after that.. this will impact the concentration and ratios of nutes needed to keep a plant healhty -- all 3 factors are relative to each other to some extent -- at least in the context of a range that produces a healthy plant.
so, you'll need to look at what you are feeding too. I have a spreadsheet that adds up ppms from the label %s -- handles %w/w too. US standards for p/k labeling.
An ECmeter will help determing if there's too much of everything, too.
Without all this information, you are blindly guessing -- might be right and that's awesome if true.. but cal-mag had magnesium. epsom salt has magnesium and sulft.. don't overdo it on the Mg or you will potentially lock out any number of cations (positive ions, like Ca or K or P, zn, fe, ...)
my point is., you may find you provide plenty of what you think it is, which would mean the problem will get worse- - potentially.. and anyone that's confident is just living in bliss without this information.
Pictures are a day later than normal. It felt like they weren't growing that much possibly because of nutrient problems. I added epsom salt to the water and i think this helped because they look better now
After putting them in the dark for +-36hours i put them back outside and will only be giving them 12 hours of light per day to start flowering which should take around 8-9 weeks
I think adding the epsom salt a few weeks ago really helped with the deficiency. It's been about 4 days since i took them out of the dark. Haven't really noticed any 'flower changes' but it's still very soon for that. I will be putting my plants in the dark everyday to have 12/12 for a month afterwards nature will finish the job
This is the 2nd week of flower and they are starting to show signs. Taking them in and outside everyday is pretty exhausting sometimes they only get 11 or 10 hours because i have to be somewhere and put them in the dark early. For nutrients im only giving water atm and whats already in the soil
Flowering got a lot clearer and im starting to really see things starting up. I'm trying to take a picture of the same top everyday which i will post when i have some more of these. I watered with only water like always except for one day this week i fed with 'powderfeed hybrids' because a lot of lower leaves arz getting yellow
lower leaves all around here and there lose their color and become yellow then brown and fall of afterwards.
I was wondering if i should just leave it or try feeding with "powderfeeding hybrids" (still have this at home).
The lower leaves are always going to fall off as they don't get great sunlight or airflow this would happen in any plant /tree not just cannabis and they're generally the oldest. I don't think you need to feed too much more but a little boost won't hurt, If they're not doing much just remove them.
I tried feeding them some more but this made them show nutrient burn but i still think i have a shortage of some kind of micro nutrient like manganese.
Other than that i think they're flowering well. There wasn't much of a stretch tho
Extremely hot week, 35℃ and above all week but they didn't seem to mind that much, the buds are developing slowly and there is starting to get more of a smell. One of the two lost a lot of leaves but is doing fine now i think. But yeah i hope they keep growing well and develop a nice harvest 😁
There is more smell but it doesn't carry far only when im close to them but buds are fattening nicely. Some branches are bending because of the weight 😅
We had some really shit weather this week, the temp was alright but cloudy all the time. Fuckton of wind so they arent getting much sun because i have to keep them out of the wind.
Buds fattening nicely one of the 2 plants is showing some purple so i hope it will be even more clear in the weeks to come. I have to support some buds from falling especially with all the wind. Basicly have to water them everyday. Really lucky with bugs almost none i used neemoil but stopped when the buds started forming.
Is this bud rot? Discoverd today after some leaves looked weird and came out when i pulled on them. If it is i was thinking about cutting of upper part since its such an early stage.
I agree to cut all remaining vestiges of the infection off ASAP. But I would just keep a diligent eye on them and cut out any further sign of rot. The rest look fine and I would not harvest so early. I don't see any caterpillar residue. Were there any tiny brown caterpillar turds you cleaned off? Because this is also what caterpillar damage does. Have you sprayed with BT? I would if not just to be careful. Then wash off harvested branches in a deep bucket of water with hydrogen peroxide then hang outdoors out of the sun till totally dry to the touch before hanging to dry in your drying area. Keep your eye out and good luck!
Weather really letting le down. It's still summer but already feels like autumn. I had some rot on one of the plants the other one didn't have any problems luckly. But i cut of the top part of a cola and was able to see that the rot barely spread so i should be lucky enough for it to not spread.
