Was gifted a clone a few weeks ago. It sat at my buddies house under no lights for a few days until I was able to grab it. She was pretty rootbound in solo cup and didn't take well to being transplanted (1.5 gal poly pot) basically the past month I've been trying to nurse her back to health. Might have overwatered too. I just transplant to a 3 gal smart pot 3 days ago to improve airflow to roots - amended roots organic soil with little more perlite seems to be helping slowly bud surely. I'll post a pic later today
Slowly getting some more green back. This plant is taking forever to bounce back. I almost want to pop some other seeds. Not sure what I can but just keep her environment right. I too dressed will terp tea grow. 60% recommended. I figure there is still a good amount of nutes in the soil. Oh well we’ll see
I might have had her dry out a little too much while I had tea brewing. I expected her to bounce back after feeding but it’s been two days and she is still droopy. I’m at loss she can’t seem to recover from initial problems.
Can anyone help identify this issue. I’ve been trying nurse a sick clone back to life but she does not seem to want to recover. Has always looks pale and slightly droopy even more so recently after a nice feeding. Is it lock out ? Deficiency? I’ve been careful not to overwater
To me, she looks thirsty and starving. Make sure to give enough water that it flows from the bottom of the pot, otherwise there is no way to tell if the substrate is thoroughly moistened from top to bottom. This may take as much as 2-3 litres. The most effective way of addressing what could be over dry soil is to give say 500ml of water every half an hour until all 2-3 litres are given. This gives a chance for one lot of water to start being absorbed before the next lot of water is given. If you try and give all 2 or 3 litres of water all at once, most likely the majority of the water will just flow right through the pot without being absorbed. It is much better to give a decent, deep watering once in a while, rather than giving little amounts of water often. You need the soil to be evenly moisten from top to bottom, not just a little water around the middle near the stem. The plants roots need moist soil to be able to absorb nutrients and grow. Any dry patches will prevent this from occurring. 400ml is barely enough for a 6-8 inch young plant in a pot that size. I also think you either need to feed her more often or purchase some extra nutrients to boost her, she is showing all the signs of under nourishment and in my opinion and could do with something with a bit more balance. The "terp tea" you are using is ok for nitrogen but has virtually no phosphorous or potassium, both of which are absolutely vital for normal plant health. If you are keen on organics, I can recommend "Bio Vega" made by Bio Canna, or the "Flora Nova" range made by GHE are really good and simple to use, being just one bottle for grow nutrients and one bottle for bloom nutrients. They are also very concentrated, so a bottle will last many crops, making them economical too. Another is Organic Grow and Organic Bloom made by BAC, a Dutch company and again is one bottle for each phase. These nutrients are all good and much better than many others that make you buy multiple bottles to make one end concoction. Also, try and remove any fallen leaves, especially those on the soil surface as they can be a good place for moulds and fungus to grow, which should always be avoided. So, give her a good drink, feed her with some proper nutrients, rather than the "terp tea" which is more of a tonic, and your plant will pick up its health soon enough. Hope this helps,... Organoman.
Plant is really starting to rebound. Thanks to a fellow grower on here I was able to determine my girl was just thirsty and hungry. I always try to be careful not to over water and I was giving the same amounts I did in my last run. I think that maybe clones use more water and food than plants grown from seed. Just due to them having a pretty established root structure and then being mature plants. Anyway I gave some of the classic FF nutes and a nice drenching and I immediately saw her bounce back. Yay!
Plant is really starting to improve. I transplanted to 7 gallon and added a trellis net.I have been watering with a gallon every day and feeding every third watering. Still seeing some discolored leaves but overall doing better. Once she starts to look a little bit healthier I will flip to flower
Is this a calcium deficiency? I’m hoping not bugs although I don’t see any sign of them. This is happening more on lower nodes of branches maybe third node from the top
I appreciate the quick answer @esoteric_growing. You might have missed that this is per gallon not liter. I’m doing 60% of the recommended dosage in the bottle. You think that is still too much? If you look as past weeks plant has bounced back from serious under feeding. I also water with RO which is why I was worried about Ca def. I did 60% FF Cal Mag last water yesterday that was the first time.
I would bet money it’s some sort of lockout or over fert due to the 10ml of big bloom and 14 ml totally feed per L.
That sounds like waaaaay too much. What EC or ppm is that?
As a example I use about 2.6ml of total nutrients per L in plants that are larger than that under a 600w light.
Plus the burnt tips indicate there is a excess of something being fed.
I would flush and then go back in a lot lot lower with the feed. I would remove additives and just go with what ever the base feed is.
Flipped to 12/12 two days ago so this is the last documented veg week. Still unsure about some of the spotted leaves . I think it’s more of a deficiency rather than a lock out. Either way I can already tell she is going to be a stretcher.
Day 7 since flip. Already starting to see the hairs come out. She seems to be doing better as far as over/ under feeding goes and is stretching a decent amount
Day 14 since flip. She’s trucking along. seems to be doing really well. Have been feeding every third water at 80% Fox Farms recommended. I plan on flushing with sledgehammer next watering to avoid salt build up going forward
Pretty smooth sailing. I flushed with FF sledge hammer this week to avoid any salt build up. Have also been trying to trim shoots that aren’t getting any light. Bud sites are developing nicely.
Have been following regiment of every three days do one of the following in order feed / water w/ cal mag / plain ph’d water / then feed again. Maybe they could use a little bit more nutrients? I topped dressed w/ terp tea bloom just in case.
Really stating to chunk up. Hard to believe there is still three weeks left. Fed with FF trio per their feeding sched. Then watered with cal mag - then plain water. Excited to see what this finally weighs in at.
Buds are really starting to fatten up and fade is recalling coming through. I’d say about a week or two left which is right on with what breeder says. Will being water only after this week
Hi I have a Bluetooth microscope but have the hardest time keeping steady. Can I have a second set of eyes to determine harvest time. I’m personally going for 20-30% amber. Also I should note breaded says 48-55 days and Today is day 47 Thanks !!!

always add extra 1-2 weeks from the breeder's note. she's one week far probably, depending on your high needs. if I were you, I'd chop her now bc I want a more cerebral high than relaxing. others want relaxation. its your choice.
Just plain ph’d water this past week. Fade is really starting to come through. Trying to be patient but I think I may chop any day. I am really happy with the size of these colas and the potential size of this harvest ahead of me colas seem very dense and heavy
