Plants are growing fast, but I still have persistent mag deficiency and high runoff PH. At least now my runoff ph has come down to 6.9 from a high of 7.4, and I think this high ph issue may have locked out the magnesium, because I have been feeding a pretty high dose of Calmag. Yesterday I began spraying 1/4 teaspoon magnesium sulfate in a foliar spray with fulvic acid and liquid kelp, and will do so once per day for the next week to see if the magnesium issues clear up, while I continue to try to lower my coco PH. I want to solve this soon because tomorrow I will be transplanting these kids into 3 gallon smart pots and starting them under a 630 watt DE CMH bulb. I will raise the fixture as high as I can and watch them carefully for signs of light stress/burn for the first few days, hopefully the transition is smooth. The plan is to give them two more weeks of veg to fill out the new pots and hopefully fill out the tent as well. I'm not sure yet if I will scrog or not but I'll order a net just in case. I think the Hawaiian Snow will grow out of control at flip so I think a net will be impossible. I've been doing lots of supercropping and tying down of branches. Oh, the pictures...The lemon bubble looks great honestly, no issues with her, she's a trooper. The Hawaiian Snow has the worst mag deficiency, probably because it has been growing like crazy. The Rainbow Cake is truly an amazing plant-that's the one that I started mainlining but split the plant in half, so what you see is just half a plant, growing entirely off of one branch-Also, it has the biggest leaves of any cannabis plant I've grown-it's suffering from nitrogen toxicity, nute burn, sagging, claw, and some mag def-but this plant has been looking better since I lowered my nutrient PH to 5.5-5.8. I've lowered the PPMs I feed to 400-450, I went too high too fast this grow and won't make that mistake again. The Purple Strawberry Bliss is a very slow growing plant and I probably won't grow that strain again unless the buds take me on an intergalactic odyssey. Thanks for stopping by!
@Paulb420, Thanks bud! I just got a couple more Rainbow Cake seeds-I ordered them when I thought my clone wouldn't take(but it did), so I think I'm just going to save them and use the clone as a mother plant. Very cool strain!
@Paulb420, She's been a good grower for me, took to training really well, very fast growing seedling. I try to clone everything I sprout until I know if it's a keeper or not. You can really see the Archive genetics coming through on this plant, so I'm thinking this will be the one keeper out of this group of plants for me. Getting excited to see it pack on the weight!
@Smokwiri, Thanks! I'm proud of the comeback they're making after I light burned them, keep checking back, I'll do my best to raise them up as proper young ladies!
