So I gave my the first nutrient feeding to the Gelat.OG that looks the best and it is thriving, but the rest of my plants don’t look great:/ I have only watered the soil plants and they are in fox farm ocean forest so I was surprised with the deficiency. The other Gelat.OG worries me I’ve only given it water and the tips are burnt.

Ah I’ve finally gotten all strains transplanted in their 1 gal pots, much better😌. For training, I have topped the Gelat.OG and it is slowly but surely creating two new tops. The slow growth refrained me from topping the other girls, so I just did LST on my two GSCs and IMO they grew a lot and quick! Haven’t started training on lemonchello as it’s too small but noticing white spots on leaves oh no 😲

Hi, this morning I checked out my lemonchello haze growing in coco and noticed it has small white spots on the leaves. My first guess is mold but I have good airflow and the spots don’t look spread out more so just forming in leaf. Need a little help with this one

Doesn't look like mold to me, based on its positioning looks like water drop stayed a bit too long a burned the leaf. Also, generally looks N starved as well.

What is up my fellow cannamen & women. Didn’t upload last week but excited to show y’all the new growth now. In the last week or so I have topped and fimmed the babes and it has worked out. Still only lst on the lemonchello I started late but hopefully it can catch up to the rest. Thinking about transplanting to 5 gal fabric pots soon. Other than that, anyone have any tips for going into flower soon?

Hello growers! Sorry I haven’t been able to update it’s been a busy time but the gals have grown. All were transplanted to 5gal fabric pots. My GSC is looking great and has a really nice dark green leaves. Limoncello and Gelat.og looking good in coco. Limon sufferers nutrient burn so I couldn’t top to stunt more growth. Think I will send them to flower in a few days.

Hello cannaman9, that looks like the early stage of a magnesium deficiency. If you fix the root of the problem, further yellowing and discoloration of the leaves should stop almost immediately. Some of the affected leaves may recover somewhat, but what’s most important is to make sure the problem isn’t continuing to spread to other leaves on the plant. Good luck with your project, I wish you all the best! 👽

it's probably Ph related or you've gone too far on the Calcium.. If it's one leaf.. Clip the one leaf problem solved ha haha :). If it's quite a few leaves it's definitely calcium the likelihood of seeing micro deficiencies in modern cannabis nutrients is crazy talk. So many people are using way too much. In my opinion it's got more to do with a Lack of balance then it does a lack of Boron. But good on you for trying to diagnose your cannabis plant. If you see damage in my diary it's 90% related to ph... And now your know because knowledge is power :).

I'm looking through your nutrients list, and if its correct, you are basically giving her 2 grow nutes, and 2 flower nutes.............this adds up to a lot of nutrients, I certainly wouldn't be using 2 full strength flower nutes at this stage of growth. I would stick with ONE type of nutrients, such as your canna coco, and follow the directions on the bottle. More nutrients does not equal more growth. Feed one type of nutrients at a normal or slighly reduced strength, and measure runoff ph to make sure your root zone is where it should be. Happy growing.

I would say its a toxicity, see how it recovers after your flush, and then keep watering with ph'ed water. The dark green leaves and curling of the edges makes me come to this conclusion. If possible, check the ph and PPM of your water runoff.

After a very long time waiting, we are finally in flower! I didn’t want to wait this long but with my temp and humidity not being ideal along with a sick plant I wanted to wait it out till I had optimal conditions. Here we are in the first week of flower, I’ve installed a trellis, super topped gelat.Og, cleaned up the canopy a little, and letting the girls stretch now! Thank you to everyone that’s been tagging along this grow.

Wait a second, What’s this? Light green stems shooting off sweet premature buds in my mini garden? It must be Christmas. I was super excited to finally see my flowering plants grow buds. Now I just need to keep them happy. Week 2 of flower here and everything is good. My coco plants are booming, and soil doing okay for circumstance. It’s a good day to be a cannaman.

Hello, can someone teach me about runoff EC& PH ? If I put in a correct ph and Ec, would a healthy plant have runoff of same,lower, or higher amount than the feed measurement? What is a healthy ph outflow for soil& coco?
Solved
Feeding. Chemical composition

The8thChevronanswered grow question 4 years ago
In a perfect world, EC and pH in runoff would be the same as your feed. This means she's taking in equal parts water to nutrients. If your runoff EC is higher, then you're probably overfeeding. Shes taking in more water than nutes. If your runoff EC is lower, then you're probably underfeeding. Shes taking in a higher ratio of nutrients to water. pH determines what nutrients the plant can absorb, so if your pH is off, it will affect your EC. When you get your EC balanced, your pH should remain balanced too. 5.5 pH - 6.2 pH in hydro/coco. Lower end for veg and high end for flower. 5.8-6.5 in soil, I believe.

Coco plants are booming, soil plants not so much. Maybe I need to give more watering in the soil instead of fertigating every time. On another note, I switched the light to 60% power, swapped from fox farm nutrients to botanicare pure blend pro, starting to use canna pk 13/14.

Not sure what is going on but it’s spreading to most of the top leaves, I know this strain tends to get a purple color in leaves but I definitely wouldn’t think it’s supposed to curl up. Anyone know what’s going on?

You definitely have a phosphorus and copper deficiency both together. Search for yourself on the net or YouTube for cannabis deficiencies and the difference between mobile and in mobile nutrients. Anyway long story short, when you flip to flower before hand typically a grower would use a preflower nutrient. One that has a small amount of nitrogen and higher than normal amounts of phosphorus and potassium. But especially the phosphorus before flowering in combination with copper, which is a micro nutrient and rare to have a problem with copper deficiency. Except in your case, your plant wants more phosphorus to set the bud sights during the stretching phase. It uses higher amounts than normal to do this along with copper, iron and silica. All three of these are mirco nutrients. N-P-K are your macro nutrients or top 3 mobile ones. So you have a phosphorus deficiency as indicated by the premature purpling between the veins of the leaves and filling out towards the edges, this is not to be confused with a magnesium deficiency which is indicated in the same patter except the plant would brown and yellow around the veins themselves which remain green and healthy. A copper deficiency is indicated by the curling of the tips and ends of the leaves. Both of these nutrients work in conjunction to create bud sights during early flower so remember always use more phosphorus before flowering and only before flower during the first and second weeks. Because what happened was, the plant tried to compensate for the lack of phosphorus and keep going with it and used up your copper as well. Again check into mobile and in mobile nutrients. Because the top 4 and only mobile nutrients N-p-k and magnesium are the most used nutrients. They are mobile meaning, they are stored in the lower and oldest leaves on the plant. So knowing the deficiency and toxicity early on will help you keep your plant healthy. Both well feed but always a bit hungry. You want to give your plant just enough N-p-k to keep it hungry but not over feed. Since the mobile nutrients are stored in the lower old leaves. You can tell if they have had to mantle nutes. The leaves around the bottom will be very dark green and curling down with a tiny brown tip on each end. If they have had too little, they will be yellowing and curling upward and not down. Feeding just right and the bottom leaves should be just a shade darker than the rest of the plant. Hope this helps you and happy growing.

Ph is too high, I would drop that down to 5.9-6.0 at this stage. Also I would only use the canna a and b with the 13-14 and maybe 0.5-1ml per litre cal mag. On some of the pics there are burnt tips which tends to be a overdose of nutrients so you might want to back them off a touch. I also agree with the other guy regarding there are some symptoms that look potassium related which could be due to the high ph. I would flush the medium with a low strength feed and measure the EC and PH of the run off, this will tell you where everything is at. Cover all bases, measure your run off and ph, drop the ph level to the amount mentioned above and go from there. In a perfect world I would probably try and drop the night temp a couple of degrees.

WEEK6 FLOWER -Coco plants continuing to look great, I’m blessed these plants hardly had problems. Now just figuring out the best time to harvest. My first soil plant buds are getting dense but Still not reaching full potential. The second soil plant looks like it hasn’t grown much I’m not sure if if there’s hope, but I’m using a soil meter and ph looks fine so don’t know if it’s finicky or if I’m still not giving something. Anyways cheers to coco.

Week 8 of flower. I’m waiting it out with the girls, pushing harvest time past the breeders recommendation. A few have some amber coverage but I wouldn’t say enough to chop yet. I will begin the flush soon. Almost there! (Btw the pics under the microscope are the best I could do next time I may just get the actual lens for the iPhone so it’s not so hard to get pics)

Week 9 of flower. I feel this last week or two the plants really bulked up. I’ve been set back paying for this grow op and this run has really tested my patience, but this week makes up for all of that. The smell is incredible, and I’m happy to finally make it here. I’m getting a little overgrowth with the heat of the light but nothing crazy. I’m just flushing now and checking runoff ppm. Thank you to everyone staying tuned in :) we’re almost there!

This strain fought for itself to turn out well , surprisingly I got the heaviest weigh in with these two plants at 4.9-5oz. I will likely keep using soil in the future because of the bud density and smoke flavor.

I absolutely loved seedsmans Gelat.Og. This was a huge plant that spread out very nicely. The leaves stayed green through the run but the buds started getting a nice purple tint along with fresh green. This plant responded excellent to LST HST the whole Shabang. I am one proud cannaman.

This plant started off slow on my and I had to work with disease to get her healthy but she turned out to be one of the best looking plants in the test. I didn’t get to train as much with her but she gave me the most cloudy trichome production. I lacked smell in my coco plants compared to soil but the high definitely didn’t lack. Thank you everyone who followed me on this long but well worth journey of my first time growing:) I have found a new passion.
