@MadeInGermany Yes i measured my outflow water and it was EC 5080. i have repotted her into a smaller 2 litre pot with fresh coco and perlite and watered until i got an outflow of 1400. Havent added any nutes, only voodoo juice, piranha fert, sensizym and carboload. I am hoping she will recover. will check back tomorrow.

@MadeInGermany, you were right, she perked up :D :D I started watering through a syringe until i get a runoff of whatever EC goes in, apparently, i watered too much and less often, making the coco coir compact at the bottom and not allowing the roots to breathe, i figured that out after i repotted her yesterday and had a very long dig online to see other people with the same problem. Its not underwatering or overwatering its definitely Underoxygenation. Honestly if not your reply i wouldnt sleep without scrapping the whole room out of frustration.. Thanks my G <3

Hey bro. When you switch over feed 1.2 to start then work your way up. Looking good

@DreamCatcher, Yes. You can always or most always fix your girls in veg but once in flower, different story. Yield and quality will suffer. Always important to have healthy girls before switching.

@GMSgrows, I did that quite early, but in my case there was not much drainage and i was watering weekly like soil (whilst growing in coco) i did catch it whilting and withering. Because of no drainage the water was too salty, my TDS stick hit its peak at 5+EC, but i acted fast and managed to save it, i thank everything sacred that its a photoperiod strain and not an auto.. On week 8 it had come back around and finally growing like normal :P Im switching the lights to 12/12 this monday :D

@DreamCatcher, this gg4 is throwing me off a bit cus it wants more food than any plant I have ever grown. She is yellowing a little early for my liking. But it is underfed not overfed which I can increase. If they were overfed, say g bye to a health harvest.

Hey DC. Um, Could I recommend cutting your flower nutes back to 1.6 should be about your highest in mid flower. When I start feeding bloom nutes I start low, 1.2 ec for first 2 weeks of actual flower,,increase if I see early yellowing of my leaves. Mid flower I usually run 1.5 to 1.6, then late flower back to 1.2. Too much ec and your girls wont fatten up to good. Just my opinion, the way I do it in soiless. Cheers friend.

@GMSgrows, I DMed you ^_^

DreamCatchercommented4 years ago

@GMSgrows, Yes thanks for the recommendation, ill do that, It is the first week of lower strength feeds on the schedule, so i will lower to 1.8-1.6 range until the next phase of lowering, then ill lower to 1.4-1.5 and continue that until last phase which would be just water. I did think to myself if i was diluting the feed x2 or at times x2.5 and the Digital gave me the reading i THOUGHT i was getting, now with the analog, it looks like i thought i was giving 2.1 but turned out i was actually giving 1.5 maybe 1.6.. so i think without me knowing, i was already doing what you are telling me, just my meter was a bit shitty and wouldnt give me a true reading. The EC this week has dropped to 1.8 i just forgot to update it on the diary :P I really do appreciate all the feedback, opinions, ideas and recommendations, but i also believe that learning on other peoples' mistakes is a little bit more difficult than making your own and finding the lesson that way, yes some bigger issues may be prevented by just listening, so thank you for the input <3

GMSgrowscommentedweek 124 years ago

Looking good but dont over do it on all those additives or youll regret it. I use two in flower, floranova bloom and massive bloom formulation. Cheers

, you got a pretty good handle on what your doing. You can take clones up till early bud. They make super clones, mega branches after reveg

@GMSgrows, Yeah i follow the recommended dosages but i also dilute it with about 300-500ml extra water per litre to bring the EC down to safe levels, I never put those amouts in straight 1 litre of water that will kill the plant :P 1 litre of water with all those inside reads at 2.4EC, i dilute until i get 1.8-1.9. 3 of the supplements are beneficial microbes and fungi (first 2 weeks of flower only) to populate the root zone, 1 is to break dead bits of root and feed it back to the plant, 1 is sugars to feed said beneficial microbes, 1 is sugars for newly forming bud sites and 1 is terpene/essential oil accelerator. Most of them dont continue past week 3 of flower and others come in place instead. I quite like this nute line, dunno why but apart from the schedules they have it seems to be doing way good for the girl :P

@Ferenc, Thanks man!! Its super sticky and tastes absolutely fantastic! best smoke i ever had..

MELs_Gardencommentedweek 164 years ago

Ten en cuenta que la grinspoon es sativas y de floración larga por lo que los nutrientes hay que repartirlos más a lo largo, yo tengo de oídas que hay que darle de comer con cuenta gotas, yo tengo una Y a la mínima que le doy un riego fuerte da indicios de sobre alimentación. Mucha suerte, estaremos atentos.

@MELs_Garden, Thank you! I had serious troubles switching from the digital meter to the Truncheon tool, the digital is showing me values that i got used to, 1.8EC-2.1EC, the plant seemed to be enjoying it, but the minute i switched to the same values on the truncheon the plant begun stressing out, i ordered the calibration and cleaning kit from bluelabs already, should be here next week. Currently i dropped to 1EC on the truncheon and ill take it from here... Im glad i have people on board, without the advices given to me so far i dont think how this wouldve evolved :P

I found Grinnspoon go in to lockout 2week of flowering

DreamCatchercommented4 years ago

@Mashup, I didnt have any problems with feeding week 6 onwards. I begun at 1EC, and over the course of 3 weeks before flowering that rose up to 2.4EC. The "Claws" appear rather fast, so you have hours if not a whole day to correct the EC if needed. I always noticed the leaves claw in about 10 to 20 minutes after feeding, which prompted me to lower the EC by 0.1 to 0.2, i never saw those leaves "Unclaw" but also i never saw it progress into something serious. The Advanced Nutrients line and their recommendations are fckin overkill. What i did from week 6 onwards was i added all the supplements at recommended strength, and the base nutrients at half strength, and then, i added extra water to bring the EC down and only then fed the plant. Currently, the dosages i state i use are per 1.5L of water, so if im making a what would be 2L of feed, i dilute that with another 1.5 to 1.8L of water before feeding. I never waited for the plant to go into deficiencies before upping the strength of the feed. I did it once, and you can see it if you go back on the weeks (a single yellow leaf can be seen in some pictures) after that i figured it out and since then never had any problem :)

Oh wow, she's growing real quick indeed! I hope you'll be able to keep her low enough haha. Stretching usually stops after about 2-3 weeks right?

DreamCatchercommented4 years ago

@Ninefold, On most strains yes, on most strains it is NOT recommended to prune or defoliate after the third week of veg because thats when they usually stop producing leaves, so whatever you take off before that is what youre left with until the end. Now DrG is a pure sativa, meaning it never stops stretching, it will stretch until 4th week of flower, then focus on the buds, then stretch a bit more, then buds again and so on, im at the end of week 3 now, watch how she will keep stretching, ive got 20CM on the cord left for the lights, watch how ill be met with a problem very soon hahaha

Looking great DC. when I go into 12 12 the stretch portion, I do most of the trimming then, I put the light as close to the girls as I can to help keep the nodes closer together and I up their feed for the stretch then lower it down to 600 1.2 ec you could go 700, 1.4 ec once the button size buds form. Then I watch for deficiencies and increase the feed 100 ppm each week. Always best to have less and increase as neccessary. Way better to underfeed than overfeed..Cheers friend your innyour way.

@GMSgrows, Thanks man :) With feeding i got to a point where i was giving her 2EC and was getting an outflow of 1.1EC. She was favoring the nutes more than she was favoring the water, so I upped the nutes, now my outflow sits at 2.2EC a very good ratio inflow/outflow. As for the light, i did think of that, and i decided NOT to touch them again until i see the tips struggling because ot if being too much. Ill do a little bit of trimming mids this week, just remove some shadows for the ones that are just above the grid :P The structure of it doesnt make sense, comparing it to TOTEM's and Tobedetermined's diaries, their buds were more of a foxtail formation, "Feather dusters", but mine is more stalk and what looks like pearls in between the nodes. I dunno but im eager to find out lol xD
