I like your style and how you cull plants as well. I think we have similar ideas and strategies in this regard. If Iām not confusing you with someone else I noticed in your journal you cull out the plants that donāt play nicely with the rest in terms of feeding. I am the same way. If itās not vigorous or if itās finnicky or runty or mutanty I usually just get rid of them. Not always but usually. Lol my current flower run I popped 16 seeds and only ended up flowering 2.
The worst is when they donāt show any nute sensitivity until 2 weeks into flower lol. Thatās the worst because itās too late to turn back and then I got no choice but to give them what they need.
Yeah, sounds like me. I canāt be bothered to coddle specific plants in of a group. Itās just not worthwhile to me to keep plants that donāt play well with others, with a few notable exceptions like pure Haze.
I wish I did. In my experience they are very light feeders, and the only way Iāve been really successful with them is when growing them in lightly amended organic soil. When I grow them in coco, itās always a race to the finish line, lol. This summer Iām hoping to monocrop some and try to dial it in.
Ok thatās good to know because Iām in coco as well. Iāve heard people say in general feed about half strength but Iām wondering are they particularly nitrogen sensitive or is it the pk?
It kind of makes sense because if you compared a 4 ft narrow leaf sativa with a 4 ft broad leaf indica the indica will have a lot more plant mass in general not only from leaf size but more compact growth. Kind of like how a 5 ft tall 110 lbs asian lady wonāt need as many calories as a 7 ft tall 290 lbs scandanavian giant lmao.
I have some purpling showing on the stem of my revegged Caramel Candy Kush mom. Anyone know exactly what it means?
Not enough N? Not enough P? Not enough Ca? Iāve seen purpling stems and petioles blamed on all 3 but never really knew for sure or cared much. The plants are always happy and healthy all the way up to harvest but I think itās time for me to really try to get these dialed in, especially them damn burnt tips that appear on day 12 every time. Iāve tried multiple various changes to my feed and nothing seems to help that.
Sun protection and a couple other things like genes, possible slight deficiencyā¦ but if they are healthy, which they look it, I wouldnāt worry about it ā¦
Thereās a million answers to every question but what do the plants say to you? Are they sad? Doesnāt look it lol
Aināt that the truth! million answers to every question especially in growing haha.
Nah they arenāt sad but I would love to get them dialed in to perfection. Especially the burnt tips on day 12 of flower. They can make the most beautiful plant ugly in a pic. Anyone know what is the exact cause?
I feel pretty light in general, never go much above 700 ppm and Iām in the range of 400 ppm towards the end of flower. Which boggles my mind because I see folks feeding 1000ppm + with no problems.
I feed 6/9 Micro/Bloom Flora Series in veg with 1 gram of epsom and 1 ml of calimagic and half ml of floralicious plus.
Same feed in flower but I drop the micro down throughout flower and add some liquid koolbloom as the micro getās lowered.
Looks like bruising, did you have a wire on those points, where its purple?
Could be a touch of K deficiency, I sometimes mistake burn for it, but isf you are using bottled nutes and your PH is good then I doubt it.
Whats your humidity like atm. If you are like my buddy near peace river his humidity is always low, so they uptake more nutes with all the extra water they have to suck up which causes burn.
Excellent point about the bruising. You know I think you may be right about that, thatās exactly where the wire thing was previously.
pH is good but to be honesty Iām never exactly sure what is the prime optimal pH for coco. Everyone has a different answer so I bounce it around by a point or two when watering. 5.6-5.9 but mostly 5.7 and 5.8.
Regarding purple stems Iāve been told temp fluctuations is the main cause for this !
For instance my room runs 79/82 lights on , lights off I was extracting air dropping temps to 71 every plant had purple stems !
I quit extracting air and kept the temp at 77/78 purple stems disappeared plus they look happier not sure if itās due to the c02 staying at 1400 ppm along with only a couple degree temp difference but definitely a improvement in growth and looks !
Thatās a great point and could also be the cause I guess.
My room goes from about 70-75 during lights off to 80/82 with lights on. Iām at the point where I need to run the dehu at night now so that should reduce the temp fluctuations some. Iāll keep that in mind for future reference but I think those purpling spots on that specific plant pictured above I think was because of the wires bruising as Shadey has stated.
The Doc Holiday x C99 are starting to show sex already. I like the fact they are showing preflowers early and while still in 1 gallon pots. Plants that take a while to reveal their gender can be a bummer when space is limited. Iām 99% confident the first one is a female and the 2nd one is a male.
I had a closer look last night. Thereās 2 dudes and 3 ladies. Since this is my first time growing this strain I wonāt be doing any chucking with it so the dudes got cut.
I am going to transplant the 3 ladies up to 2 gallon pots this afternoon when the lights come on.
