9/28-10/4. Interesting week so far. Plants are loving their new pots. Drank everything in them pretty quickly.
9/30, Watered and added Foxfarm Veg. nutrients and plantfood. PH'd water to 6.3-6.4. The soil medium was extremely dry, probably due to tent conditions, hot, humid, dry with fan pointed down at soil likely drying it all out. Keeping fan pointed at wall of tent to just keep air flow. The plants drank alot of water, easily 3-4 gallons. Soil seems to be back to normal. Started LSTing most of the plants. One of the banana bombs, that was showing some early nutrient deficiency, is smaller than the other plants so far so I avoided LST and removed the germination leaves turning brown. Could be phosphorous or K deficiency. One leaf set higher has some spots but newer growth appears recovered. Could've been the weak potting soil they started in -- wanted to avoid over-nuting early but may try going straight to OF next round. None of the other plants seemed affected though. Hmm. Just gotta watch PH and new growth. For LST, I'm really wrapping the garden wire around the top cola leaf sets and pulling in one direction to open lower canopies. You could tell after just one day of LST that lower growth was picking up on that side.
10/1, topped all five plants by hand. Will let them recover the next two days then back to LST. First time topping so hope I did it correctly! Will be eagerly watching coming days.
10/3 did some LST, noticed pots were lighter
10/4 watered with 6.3 PH water. The plants are starting to grow new chutes after topping so all looks successful. Likely won’t do another topping down the road, mostly LST from here on out. Still learning LST, not 100% sure how to do it, but making plants go so that lower sections are getting direct light. Here’s to the next week!
Hello, curious if anyone has thoughts on issues with plants. Thinking cal mag deficiency and/or overwatering. I wouldn’t rule out nute burn, chlorine issues, PH fluctuations. Some plants stunted, very small distance between nodes and leaf chutes.
Any advice for checking trichomes? I have a loupe but just purchased a digital microscope. Images look great, I can get really close up comfortably. Curious where on the plant one should look, multiple locations, etc. I think I’m shooting for 10-20% amber.
Try to look at the part of the bud where pistils grow from, its green but its not a sugar leaf. Also consider that some buds may mature faster than others so you could harvest some before the others.
I haven't grow Banana and Blackberry..
But I can definitely tell you then the Dos Si Dos #33 will makes you happy 🌱😉
Pay attention at the stickiness 🔥😎
Have fun 🙂🌱
@Spider, hello! These ladies are currently sitting in 2 gallon fabric pots, and will transplant and finish in 5 gallon fab pots. Thanks for stopping by :)
I had a similar problem with my Banana Bomb in week 4 of veg. They seem to be more sensitive to ph imbalances then other strains. My other Delicious Candy plants got the same incorrect ph water for a couple days at the same time and they barely noticed it. I grow RDWC though so proper ph is vital. But ya, just wanted to let ya know it prob just ph and to pay extra attention to the ph for the Banana Bomb in my experience so far. Bad ph will lock out your nutes and do that to your leaves too.
@russrahl, good to know! Rookie mistake on my end on my first grow, but plants are looking healthier after correction. Just had to defoliate some nasty dying leaves but tops looking healthy. BBs got hit the hardest for sure. Thanks for stopping by :)
