@PhunkyPhallus, Top and bottom plants were the same just didn't have the purple in the top plants, smell is nice and citrus like, smoke is smooth with a good high

I know you're having some issues but don't let it get you down. Your plants look good especially for your first grow. It's a learning experience. Even with your issues I believe you'll still have an impressive harvest. I look forward to seeing the rest of your diary. 👍👊

@Fast_Buds, Thanks a lot, I did enjoy it and I plan to grow more of your seeds.

Your plants are looking so good man, you're killing it 👊

@PhunkyPhallus, Whatever you're doing your plants looking happy. I believe you've got it figured out, keep it consistent and you're going to have some nice yields buddy. 👍

@Mz876, Thanks 👍🙏

@PhunkyPhallus, Thanks man 👍

Those are looking really good man!

Loving the cat, she looks like she approves of the plant.

@Rolandr88, I believe it was from my soil mixture. Before I transplanted it was in happy frog and wasn't showing any signs of clawing at all. I transplanted into 50/50 Happy frog and Ocean Forest and used the ocean forest as fill and top dress. about a week leading up to the transplant I inoculated the 50/50 mix with great white and had been watering it with fish shit, golden tree and molasses attempting to give the microbes a head start on the transplant. When I did the transplant I also used great white directly on the rootball, then watered with molasses. Then the very next day I watered lightly with fish shit. By the second day I noticed the bottom leaves were burning touching the soil, Partly because I added way too much soil. day 3 was when I noticed the clawing. I think that OF would have probably been fine if I didn't use the mycos and soil conditioners, I think it led to an explosion of microbial activity and since I wasn't watering till runoff and there wasn't anything growing in the soil yet it led to a buildup of nitrogen from the microbes. That's what I think anyway. I have no idea if that's what happened or if that's how it even works. But as a new grower I'm just using my best guess.

@PhunkyPhallus, Thanks for the details man. I think our issues are microbe related. I plan to grow again immediately after I harvest and dry. I will try to keep my res temps lower and maybe reduce my nitrogen levels 10% and if I see big improvements I'll let you know for sure. Despite your clawing issues don't give up on your plant if you look how sad mine were (much much worse than yours) they will rebound. I think for first time growers we're doing okay.

Is your nutrient list complete? I'm just curious where you're getting nitrogen, and how much you were using.

@PhunkyPhallus, I appreciate you looking through, it may be that, I believe I cold water flushed the roots so I don't know how much slime was on the roots, and I change the reservoir every week to clean them, but it is possible I didn't get it all out. I guess the best way to see is to grow more. 😉

@PhunkyPhallus, I haven't exactly. Perhaps too much nitrogen from my micro nutrient. I've lowered the levels quite a bit as I'm in late flower, but I haven't seen them bounce back so I'm unsure, let me know if you find any solution during your grow

Good luck everyone!!
