BigMike55’s Ongoing Cannabis Log (Part 1)

Actually my time schedule on putting these into flower will be when the Blue Cookies are finished cooking. I onlt want to put the monsters and the grape cookies in flower. The Ghost plants will be left in the veg tent. …I think.

Almost looks like an Iron deficiency being it’s the new growth turning yellow. Let’s see what everyone else thinks.

I was thinking iron or sulfer. I have these in FFOF soil. And a weak (1/4 strength) Fox Farm big bloom and grow big. With a tsp of CalMag. Less than 500 ppm. Always between 6.0 and 6.6 ph.

Lol for a second I was wondering what I was supposed to be looking at.
That’s odd that she’s got all that and still doing what’s she’s doing.
Mine always grow out of that when it happens.

I was first thinking it might be nitrogen deficient. But with new soil plus feeding, even at low strength should have enuff of everything. Just my thinking.

Maybe up your PH closer to 7.

I think it is likely iron deficiency due to pH being too high. Get your input closer to 5.5-6.0 range. Iron begins to lock out at pH 7 and above (neutral to alkaline).

Whats the runoff pH?

Honestly I never check runoff. Actually do not water until runoff.

Well @BigMike55 comes through again and sent me some Blue Cookies from Mark on Strainly. So now I have those and some Fems from the man himself. Can’t thank you enough brother.

By the way, I repackaged those so I could send them in my usual packaging. They are Marks beans tho. And you are very welcome.

No worries, I don’t know what Marks packaging looks like anyway, lol. I have over 100 seeds coming from him to put into an auction for the server. They have made it as far as Montreal, here is hoping they make it past customs :crossed_fingers:

But tomorrow is watering day. And nutes. Should I mix my nutes to my normal range in pH and ppm, then water until runoff and check the ppm and pH of the runoff?

Mark normally sends in those small plastic vials. I use coin flips.

Yes, check the PPM too while your at it. Make sure you have about 10% runoff.

I will do that tomorrow. I am wanting to up-pot into 7 gal fabric pots but I want to make sure they are in top shape before transplanting.

@ReikoX
I made up my normal nutrients. PPM was 786 and pH 6.4 going in. I watered until I had runoff after a minute or so I captured a sample in a beer cup. pH was 6.4 coming out but the PPM was over 2300.
What I decided to do was to run pH’ed water to 6.5 with no nutes thru the medium. Did this until I brought the PPM down to around 500. I think I will use a little LITFA until the soil dries and see what the new growth looks like.
Think I did OK?

I think my problem started with me using FoxFarm Ocean Forest soil. I knew it already had nutrients in it, but I didn’t think a little drink here and there would be harmful. The other problem being that they were small plants when I up-potted to the 2 gal buckets. So basically I was fertilizing already fertilized soil and the plant had not gotten big enuff roots to use what I was giving. It just collected up. I think.

Oh wow. I learned something new today. Good catch @ReikoX.
I’m glad you found the issue @BigMike55. That dose seem to be it.
So when you over feed, it dose not always appear as nute burn on the leaves? I was thinking about this because I only ever noticed it in flower.
Dose excessive nutes appear in different ways? Expecally in veg.
