Brought her back indoor after 1 week outdoor.. too much pest attacking her. Kept her window still with sunlight 6am to 8pm (summer here). Just enough light for her to stretch more branches

Finally decided to transplant mother over, cut off all her flowering top and the bottom are all back to veg.... moved to dwc for 2 weeks till the roots settle in and will convert dwc to rdwc. Weather is 35C so gonna keep dwc for easy water change or for now.

Mother not looking well, over used Great white mycorrhizal : interesting that direct sprinkle on the roots over killed the roots zone drying them out during the transplant. D12 remove M1 from dwc to see if I can fix her root issues, white spots.. possible mold

This strain is not stretchy, but short and bushy. turned lights down on 22 veg.. I need it to stretch further to scrog. Day 28, net added. Dimmed lights, 2.2 EC is giving minor burning to the tips but they are hungry, reaching 0.2 EC and drinking 5L water a day. Day 30, EC dipped to 1.8. Hungry strain

D10 found a mfker... pretty devastated how it got into my indoor tent in a bedroom! Spray entire crop with natural pesticide.. hopefully I kill it completely and stop it from breeding. D12.. plant suffered a bombard of pesticide, leaves curling, leaves rotting.. need some experience grower to help look at the leaves why deficiency am I heading towards or if it's disease I know this strain is a heavy cal/mag feeder. I've up my game on cal/mag but still missing something. D14.. Removed the bad leaves and more were observed today. Concern if it's mold or fungus.. Added Peroxide to my humidifier to introduce it to kill mold under the plant. Up the exhaust power to 75%. Changed out res.. not completely, can't get most of the water out. Added root rot stuff as preventative measures

D15 - Recovering from the bad infestation and mold on leaves. Added cal/mag into my foliar spray, up my silicon and airflow. D16 - EC 2.0 pH 6.1 added 10L into res with more silica and cal/mag. Hungry cal/mag strain 😉 D19 ~ EC 1.8 pH 6.2 D20 ~ Defoliate a fair bit. Not completely strip out like how I wanted to experiment ..

Day 28-29 hmm flowers not getting bigger... drinking plenty of water and not taking in much nutes. Might push PK higher this week with flower Boost...? Day 30. EC constantly drops, been adding water for a week and its still dropping. Why is she not eating, I would assume they drink and eat alot more during flowering.?

Happy Harvest Day!

Beautiful plant, not a very strong smelling plant but when you smoke it, there's plenty punch and flavours. Resistance to bugs, but easy on mild due to the big buds. Heavy cal/mag strain. Overall my best smoking harvest.... I'll update the weight later, not as big buds as I expected but long colas

Did you change to PK nutes to early ?
Igrowneil
Igrowneilcommented4 years ago
@DTaro, okay frist things is frist if your plant haven't been over watered then safe to move on if so let the pit dry before attempting anything ... p.h run off to make sure your PH in your medium is okay if not correct if it is time to flush your girls when then dry out rushing anything at this point could make it worse but a light flush then a light nute mix feed about 25% watered after this will flood your pot but correct your feed so there's no build up of salts if your using systethic nutes you need to flush the pot just before going into flower , not so much a hard flush just a p.h water does the trick a water with runoff takes build up away from your roots
DTaro
DTarocommented4 years ago
@Igrowneil, I started PK nutes a few days before this and now I have more issues I just noticed. I'm going to post photo and need alot of help to safe this harvest. Don't want to throw 8 weeks veg into waste.

Looks like Calcium defeciency to me pal. But look on and under the effected leaves for signs of bugs too👍🌱hopefully not
Fruitgrower
Fruitgrowercommented4 years ago
@DTaro, don't think it looks too sick🤷‍♂️. The biodiesel shouldn't make a difference. Make sure your ph and ppm runoff is in the ideal range. Could be a damp /mould issuse? Have you thought about a defoliation at all, you do have quite a large plant?
DTaro
DTarocommented4 years ago
@Fruitgrower, added more photos, looks like the girls are sick. Different variables this week were I added flowering nutes, spray pesticides (lights on), I added an organic flower nute Biodiesel.... would that introduce bad bacteria?

Any chance you have all your ports and exhaust/intake fans covered with womens pantyhose? They're a good block for critters coming into the tent.
DTaro
DTarocommented4 years ago
@Experimentgreen, the pantyhose is a good idea! will try that one and it won't restrict the amount of air as well.

@CannaScuzzyB, I'm not sure as well, it's making me scratch my head. these are suppose to be photo period and are all on 18 hrs day but all of them clones are flowering together as well

Hi! Well done they are looking great! Interesting indeed that the one on the left is looking different but are clones! Genotype/phenotype in action!
Eauderay
Eauderaycommentedweek 244 years ago
Looking good, I doubt they need more pk on top your liquid bloom it is too early I think but you can try. They will look bigger in 2 weeks and maybe finish in 5 to 6 weeks. Just check leaves for thrips damage in case you can use yellow sticky tape to catch those flying... Good luck!

Hello, are you using any flowering nutrient? Looking Good!
DTaro
DTarocommented4 years ago
@Eauderay, oh yea.. I am trying out a forum I read, grow nute until stretch complete which is week 2 or 3 then change over to flower nutes high EC. I use flowering boost in addition to the veg nute. Going to switch over to flowering nute now for it to fatten up. Let's see how it turns out 😂
