Hi everyone!
I wanna thank @MynameStitch for his 3d on deficiencies, pests & diseases, where from I borrowed the following checklist:
How long has this problem been going on?
Not sure 100%, 3 weeks give or take
What STRAIN are you growing?
RQS Quick One (Old School Indica x Afghan x Ruderalis)
What was the establishing technique? (seed or clone?)
Seed
What is the age of your plants?
7 weeks from seedling sprout
How long have they been in the soil mixture they are in now?
Germinated in Jiffy, in 5 days moved to final (5gal) pot, 6 weeks & 2 days then.
Were they in the same mixture when they were seedlings/smaller plant?
N/A
If not, what mixture were they in before?
N/A
How Tall are the plants?
85cm/ 3 feet
What PHASE (seedling, vegetative or flower) are the plants in?
Flower
What Technique are you using? (SOG, SCROG etc)
First grow ever, only some LST and very light cropping/defoliage
What size pots are you using? (Include how many subjects to pot)
20L/5gal
What substrate/medium are you using? What brand of soil mixture are you using?(percentage of perlite, vermiculite...etc?)
1/3 Spaghnum peat moss
1/3 Perlite
1/3 Coco
What brand Nutrient's are you using?
*Knowing the brand is very helpful*
Canna Terra
How much of each nutrient are you using with how much water?
Used to follow Canna Feeding Calculator, setting parameters to "normal" feeding each&every nute written and giving each&every watering that amount correcting the PH in the 5.8-6.2 Range, as suggested to be "best" by Canna.
How often are you feeding?
Daily, top-off.
If flowering, when did you switch over to using Bloom nutrients?
About 3 days after first white pistils appeared
What order are you mixing your nutrients? (example: veg nutes 1st, bloom 2nd ect)
I don't understand...in veg I follow veg nutes and chart, in flower I do the same.
What is the TDS/EC/PPM of your nutrients used?
Better posting a pic of the feeding chart, you have every detail about EC and TDS there:
What is the pH of the "RUN-OFF"?
PH 6.43
How often are you testing pH/ppm/EC/TDS?
Daily
What method of pH test was administered? Using Strips? pH pen?
Pen-meter (Hanna) - calibrated weekly
How often are you watering?
I was....Daily (top-off, NEVER drained! ...till I got to know things about salts accumulation)
When was your last feeding and how often are you feeding?
As I said, I fed each time I watered, only topping-off.
What size bulb are you using?
LED 570w Real
How old is your bulbs?
N/A
What is the distance to the canopy?
Now is 12" (30cm) - Began with 20" going down to 18-16-14 and 12"
What is your RH Factor? (Relative Humidity)
58-65%
What is the canopy temperature?
What? How am I supposed to measure it? If you mean temp inside the tent is about 25-30°c/ 77-86°f
What is the Day/Night Temp? (Include fluctuation range)
Nightime is 2-3°c less (35.6-37.4°f)
What is the current Air Flow? (cfm etc.)
Optimal! Tent Air is completely recircled in 60 seconds at lower setting.
Tell us about your ventilation, intake exhaust and when its running and not running ?
1x Inline fan (from bottom tent)
1x Extractor with Carbon FIlter (from the top tent)
1x Std fan inside (just below/at canopy level)
Running h.24 but at nights I slow them down with an electricity controller
Is the fan blowing directly at plants?
The in-line works below canopy, the exauster at the top of the tent, only the std fan is just below/at canopy level, but is 20w, a slight breeze not a tornado like.
Is the grow substrate constantly wet or moist?
No
Is your water HARD or SOFT?
Normal (EC 0.4) BUT I have been using the Air Conditioning water (EC 0.3, PPM 40) 'cause of TDS >400ppm
What water are you using? Reverse Osmosis (RO)? Tap? Bottled? Well water? Distilled? Mineral Water?
The MAyor's water gone through the A/C implant
If using tap water, what is the ppm/EC/TDS of the water right out of the tap?(Only if you have a tds pen)
PH 7.7-8.4 - EC 0.4-0.6 - PPM 440-550 (sometimes I mix them)
If using RO,Distilled,mineral water, what is the ppm/EC/TDS without any additives?(Only if you have a tds pen)
The A/C water is PH 7.7-8.3 EC 0.25-0.3, PPM 40-50
Are you using water from a water softener?
No
Has plant been recently pruned, cloned or pinched?
At beginning of flower, 2+ weeks ago, as said, only VERY lightly!
Have any pest chemicals been used? If so what and when?
No
Are plant's infected with pest's?
F.Gnats (under control) ...I don't think any other bug...
Now boys is fun time, the pics:
#1
#2
#3
#4
Last but not least:
https://i.ibb.co/XpcMwQZ/IMG-20190803-Q1-1-9.jpg
Once I realized I had to drain them at least 1/week, learned about salts accumulating, nutes blocked out by PH and by other nutes I flush all plants with...have a guess? Canna-Flush! And started feeding again but at 1/2 the doses prescribed, twice/week, I leave 'em to dry out first 2" of soil before watering, water only the rest and drain aboundant once/week.
All this saved 1 of my (tot. 4) plants. They are 2 strains, 2+2. The strain which suffered is the Quick-One. One plant was badly deficient and the above process set her on the right path (for what I see) but now I'm seriously thinking if it makes sense to bring this cadaver to ripening.
The other 3 could benefit for the space, less RH, better environment control and maybe produce something more or better.
What's your opinion about getting rid of the walking dead?! Does it make any sense? Or whatever will do is always something that I wouldn't have otherwise?!
Thanks in Advance for your patience, help, knowledge sharing and kindness!!!!
May Big Buds be with You!
