Hey Growmies. πThis is a back post...sorry took me so long.
Nov 8th (sunday)
She looks nutrient deprived. Little did I know the VPN (low) was so far off after changing my pre-filter that the negative pressure wasn't allowing her to want to pull up nutrients. Has been a problem longer than I realized. I had no idea that my fan was too strong for my tent. Can kill a plant. Live and learn. So, now comes the story of nutrient toxicity because I DX wrong and gave some amendments and nutrients that she didn't need. So sad. . β¦.
Soil PH is at 6.7 Watered about 3/4 gallon almost 1 gallon
Growers recharge
With soluble kelp
Humic acid
(20ml per gal dilution)
NOV 9th
RH is 52 and temp 72.5deg (RH is dropping due to increased airflow)
She does not appear to be stressed this morning. Growth is still very slow but the new leaves appear to be healthy with no Brown tips. There's still New Growth appearing on the old nodes where fan leaves have been removed due to burning lower down on the stems. I'm hoping there's not much more lateral growth and more of a filling out so that I can flower.(room for the stretch)
I hope the lower humidity is conducive to her growth and not going to cause Mite infestation due to stress and defenses down.
On that note the tanglefoot needs to be reapplied.
On about a 10-minute inspection I see no visible signs canoe leaves or might damage. The wettable sulfur seems to be stove in them off. I'm also doing my best to boost the immune system of the plant. I've been meaning to do a compost tea in order to infuse the soil with more microorganisms including both bacterial and fungi.Β Still learning about βliving soilβ and probably making tons of mistakes but am bumbling through.
NOV 10th
Defoliation
NOV 11th
On this day she was still looking so deprived of nutrients. SHE WAS. Only not for reason of them not being in the soil. Environment was off and she was just protecting herself by not taking in the necessary food. I was of the midset to save her with soothing things which are good for βplant stressβ and some nutrients.
WRONG I was again.
This is what I gave her that day. (A great combo but not what she needed)
Soil PH 6
Growers recharge
coconut water (30ml per half-gallon)Β
aloe juice (1/8 cup in half a gallon)Β
With soluble kelpΒ
Humic acid
(20ml per gal dilution)Β Β
NOV 12th
IPM: Foliar spray right after lights out: micronized sulfur- 1/5 tbsp per 1/2 gallon ,Aloe Vera 2 tbsp, yucca extract
NOV 13th
removed some dead leaves
Soil PH 6.5
pot was medium /heavy- leaving it so I can put compost tea on tomorrow evening.Β
Defoliated any dead growth and any tiny branches that didn't have a lot of nodes on them.Β
Changed the timer for the FAN to 15on and 15 off. I had upped the heat in the house to 72 deg instead of 71 and things are VERY DRY! Too dry for the temp.
The VPD just way off here. Explains some of the dryness I am feeling on the leaf surfaces, slow growth etc. This climate issue has to be checked.
Also, added back in a second humidifier!
Brewing compost tea........

Help. Heat stress? Russet mites for sure. Can she recover? Please look at grow diary 9weeks. I am so new at this and had such trouble with CBDream. Such a touchy medicine plant. Was a weak clone to begin with (now i know) but I could really use advice about recovery.

My bad with the lights on the soil. I read bout living soil and roots. I cooked the roots. :( so sad. I was wrong about too much water. Thought nute-lock but no.(that's why i was trying to dry soil) It was actually the mite treatments I think that were the cue de gras. It recovers in a day or so. back to having a healthy smell again and leaves start to look better. sensitive stomata? LIGHTS: turning light intensity up & adding lights for heat on fabric pot was BAD. So, looked at Spyder farm recommends 60-90%. Went one cycle with 80%. last PM. Will check today. can go back up to 85%. Seams to do well there. (before Russet invasion) I have heard of stretching due to light being too weak or far away. When I looked up forums -THANK YOU- (growweedeasy) & articles I learned that long lanky growth can be heat stress too. Too many similar visible symptoms can mean same things. FYI: Removed fan on soil. Hope the one oscillating isn't too much (windburn).

Thank you so much! I thought Nitrogen tox too but this is living organic soil(water only). I did give a kelp foliar spray 7 days ago and noticed nit-tox I thought? Residual signs I think now? with living soil not supposed to ever have run off or flush. The organisms in the soil will die. The soil has dried out to "moist" which is "healthy" for microbes. I agree that I DX wrong with most of this. I think multi-things R wrong. I am just so new and no experience. I noticed when spraying "Plant Therapy" for russet Mites the plant reacted right away by curling more yesterday. Sat and observed for 10min. It was immediate. Had that clawing right after Azamax too. (most of you are right I think--too many things going wrong at once) If I make too many changes I won't know what helped the plant'. I know too much heat on roots for certain now after reading up on living soil, root issues and watering practices or living microbes.

This doesn't have the outward leaf curl that is common with heat stress.. This can be heat stress.. But it's not the high or the low we worry about so much as the fluctuations.. If your Cannabis is somewhere in the ballpark of 20-30 degrees it can most likely Acclimatize to it's growing space..... I was pleasantly surprised on my last grow with the ability of 4 plants to handle heat stress well in excess of 30 degrees with minor amounts of supplement Co2. A tall and lanky plant is in my opinion and sign of not enough light... If you have high heat and low light then it would do the exact same thing.. If you had high light and high heat.. Your rates of transportation(water intake) would increase. Cannabis can handle exceptional amounts of light.. Your misunderstanding what you are observing..

@Aromagurl,Yeah I am trying to look around really interesting tiny fan leaves and thick thick main stalk....
Well she has been in veg for 18 weeks....PH seems to be alright need some boost of Calcium and Magnesium now bit still a good amount of nitrogen the first 2 - 3 weeks of flowering.... streching phase. Spicy her with some Epsom salt and some banana, orange, apple whatever they like all fruit peels... or (chicken bones and meat only if it is possible because of the smell.....)
The peels are cool...
"Wicked" leaves nicely removed π
Now leave the rest as she needs it to take the energy only do Lollipopping by removing the bottom ones but not now.... later on with time ;)

@Ferenc, Thx. Still working on the "set up". A bit nervous to go into flower due to the fact that the root zone seems to need a bit more heat than the canopy (was reading this is normal) Europe has all these great tube heaters. I am so bummed they charge like 75$ shipping to get them to me. Yipes. haha. If you have any thoughts lemmie know. thx for your comment. :) Happy Growing!

Hi dear!
Looking absolutely fantastic now, great that after the defoliation it's bouncing back so quickly (and still looking healthy! - Remember that removing damaged leaves only removes visible reminders that they exists and not the deficiency or issue causing it. Though it does divert energy to healthy growth if you've fixed the issue causing damage)
Definitely do not recommended the GardenSafe product for cannabis - I use it to GREAT affect on my roses, hydrangeas, and non-edible garden items. However I hate that it's active ingredient is neem oil and you CANNOT know what the other 97-99% of the solution is.
HOWEVER: There is a solution. Just get organic neem oil and you can use it as a mist (follow directions, tsp per 36oz water [Ph!] plus tsp of soap for emulsion) and you can also safely use it as a soak.

@Smokin_Joe,
Wow am I horrible at using this site. haha. Thx for all your thoughts. Your spot on and I agree bout removing damaged leaves. I was hoping, as you said, that her energy would go toward new growth. They will die and fall off eventually. Sad but true. Issues are starting to get fixed slowly as I learn. I know I need to get my climate under control. I am using wettable sulfur for the Russets currently which works WONDERS both for the plant's nutrition and for the mites. A horticulturist / IPM specialist that finally fell into my life like a miracle is guiding me and I am thankful for her advice on this because they are barely there now. I tried a neem product and it wasn't cutting it. Destroyed the ph in my living soil and all the microbes too when I used it as a drench. Btw, however, was NOT pure neem oil (Azamax is the extract of the active constituent of Neem) . It isn't possible to use oil-based products with the Sulfur though so my IPM is all non-oil based ATM. Working wonders though on a plant that has suffered mites for months. Now finally recovering. YEaaaah! I am going to find the product you mentioned and put it on my wishlist so if I should need it in the future I will have it in my bag. haha. I am sure you know it is good to keep things varied for pests.
The one product I had tried that might have sounded like "GardenSafe" was called Safer Brand Fungicide.
https://www.amazon.com/Safer-Garden-Fungicide-Concentrate-16-Ounce/dp/B000BX1FNW/ref=sr_1_4?dchild=1&hvadid=78615133924668&hvbmt=be&hvdev=c&hvqmt=e&keywords=safer+brand+fungicide&sr=8-4&tag=mh0b-20
(btw I wouldn't buy it on amazon. it is at lowes and other stores for about 9-10$)
That is what started really making a dent in those pesky mites. It is only 12% sulfur and just like the brand you mentioned has 88% other ingredients. I hate that. So, my mentor told me to get elemental micronized sulfur and make my own and use some yucca for sufficient. Works great but it is a huge mess in my tent. Have to leave the powder on the leaves. That is part of what kills them. Eggs too! Great for PM too (although I haven't had that )
Its this product:
https://www.amazon.com/Bonide-PRODUCTS-142-Sulphur-Fungicide/dp/B0035H7V34/ref=sr_1_4?crid=3GFN94BYPCH41&dchild=1&keywords=bonide+sulfur+organic+concentrated+dust+fungicide&sprefix=Bonide+sullfur%2Caps%2C201&sr=8-4
(same with this product --I paid 8$ for 4lb bag and probably 10$ for a gallon of yucca extract so not an amazon friendly item either)
Course you might already know about these but I thought I would share. Just make sure to read all safety info. Do not want to be inhaling the sulfur. even though it is considered an organic and natural element.
It won't kill ya but will make it hard to breathe and some people react harshly. Some are more sensitive.
Hope your growing is going well. My best to ya. (sorry so late in response) LOL
