Week of 11/9 to 11/15
Another good week. Still having humidity issues, even after buying dehumidifier and two evadry sticks, and cranking exhaust to half speed. Might need to get a bigger, serious dehumidifier, canโt afford mold issues. Just really shocked tbh.
11/11 watered and some defoliating
11/13 feeding with Fox Farm grow and cal mag, then phd to 6.3
11/15 watered with 6.5 PH
Tested PH of runoff on the Doโs Si Dos and itโs showing 5.5. Thinking she may need a flushing to get right, thatโs why sheโs been struggling. Others were OK mostly around 6. Those earlier waterings mustve thrown things off but also the soil might be PHing everything down. Donโt have soil tester or PPM for nutes. Maybe a flush of higher PH, like regular tap. Might be good.
Going into third week of flower, will continue defoliating. Might add bloom this week or next week. All plants except the Doโs Si Dos are back and looking great. Dos Si Dos really didnโt take the PH issues well, which again is on me. Good news is her tops are green and healthy so hoping issues get corrected after this weeks โflushโ.
Hello, curious if anyone has thoughts on issues with plants. Thinking cal mag deficiency and/or overwatering. I wouldnโt 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 Iโm 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 ๐ฑ๐
Pay attention at the stickiness ๐ฅ๐
Have fun ๐๐ฑ
@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 :)
