8/17-8/23
8/17 fed this morning 52 oz each of 1/2 strength GHE plus Cal-Mag and Molasses. Trichomes look to be about a week more developed on the Bubba Kush, appearing mostly cloudy, while PZ seems like about 60% cloudy. No amber on either. Expect about 2 weeks to finish line on BK and 3 weeks
on Peyote Zkittlez. Plan is to feed BK once more this week then switch to no nutes the week after, with a good flush.
8/18 even more leaf tips curling on PZ today so it's safe to say its an over fed issue even though it was only fed at 1/2 strength. will withhold all nutes for 1 week and see if it helps. No noticeable issues with the Bubba Kush.
8/20 So the Peyote Zkittlez continues to progress with the leaf curl issue. As another grower suggested its too close to finish to really try to correct the problem, but it would sure be nice to know what is causing it to put in the knowledge bank for the future. Allot of folks suggested it was heat or
light related but I have ruled both of those out. The light is sufficiently far enough (13 inches) to not cause burning, and even the very lowest leaves are doing it and those are 24 inches plus from the light. Max temp it ever reaches in the tent is 80 degrees so it isn't that. I've also ruled out
over/under watering as i've withheld watering, and tried completely soaking and neither helped. Don't see how air circulation could be the problem as I use a 4" 150 cfm for intake at the floor level, and 4" 200 cfm with a 4x12 filter for exhaust. There are also 2 6" clip-on fans running inside,
and all fans run 24/7. So my current thinking is possibly not enough container for the root system because I went with 3 gal fabric pots instead of 5 gal. In any case she's starting to get nice and frosty and I'm estimating sept 10 as chop date so we'll just let it play out.
8/22 Bubba Kush got a 3 gal blended water flush today after withholding water for 5 days. Trimmed off all remaining large fan leaves. She'll get just plain blended water from here on out, plan to chop 1 week from today, (it looks ready to me now but I'll give it another week). PZ got a half strength feeding today.
@Thewendigo, yes its getting frosty, (not nearly as much so as the Bubba Kush though), the big notice is the smell, one of the sweetest smelling varieties I've grown so far!! I am impressed enough that I started another PZ outside, (usually don't grow the same strain back to back) setting her up for my first attempt at "scrogging". She'll be brought in to the tent as soon as this run is finished up and flipped to flower about 10 days later.
@DunDerma, thanks. Cant believe I missed the seeds. I mean I spend time with my plants nearly every day, never saw a male flower, and missed the developing seeds. I hope her room mate didn't get it as well. I guess I shouldn't gripe though, its still good sticky icky and its only for personal consumption so its really a non issue as long as they're not completely loaded
@Thewendigo, Having the exact same germ ratio with the Bubba Kush strain also from Seedsman. I'm going to sow a couple more today and if the results are the same I guess I'll be shopping a different seed bank. Seedsman prices are good, but only if the genetics are stable.
