Ghost ha#22 x Sour Diesel test by Chomsky

[chomsky]

Karma this post is more specifically for you. I'm still having trouble with the yellowing which is definitely as a result of nutrient uptake. However the girls are still growing at a healthy rate and they are consuming a lot of liquids ( and no I am definitely not overwatering). I am relatively positive that this cross is not a heavy feeder. I'm going to cut back get again on the feeding regimen by changing up the schedule to include a plane watering in between feed cycles. If I'm correct and I think I am the healthy darker green should come back to the new growth within a week to 10 days.

Yeah, they real big...
I can't wait till they really start flowering- ur camera gonna take some nice shots... I like those pre flower shots....

hopefully you have diagnosed it bro but I see what you mean in the pics, that slight tip burn would lead me the same way, I alternate my feeds and stick a plain water one in now and then, had similar issues in the past, the nutes I use say feed everytime but that's not the case so I feed every other watering and use microbe brew and big bloom in between
I'm gonna need to upgrade camera too after seeing the pics your putting up

OK What do you guys think? Still too yellow for me. Im not sure why I cant get the dark green back in the new growth? Any ideas? Also, I have a note into Karma because Im not sure if these are indica or sativa dominant. Looks Sativa to me but man Im getting almost no stretch. Im not sure if I have some kind of nute lock out or they just arent stretchers? The look healthy minus the lime color and yellowing on some leaf edges. Any ideas there?

 

[nickman]

I think they're looking good Chomsky...

I've run Karmas Headbangers before so I guess I'll kinda gauge the stretch off them... from what I can remember???

 

[chomsky]

Thanks Nick man they do but seeing them in person there is definitely a lime green color with a little bit of yellowing on the edges of some of the bigger fan leaves. I wouldn't call them burn and looking just yellowing. I am a bit of a perfectionist when it comes to my girls and there's just something not quite right with the stretch and the color.

 

[chomsky]

I'll try to get some more pictures of later but the earlier growth the big fan leaves at the bottom of the plants are very nice dark green which is what I want them all to look like. But the new growth just seems to me to be very yellow.

 

[nickman]

I totally understand where you're coming from... you just know when something isn't right...

Hopefully everything turns out fine and it doesn't get any worse - from your standpoint...!!!...

I'm starting to think that these girls or this cross is just very light feeders. I'm going to do a 5 gallon flush on each one of these girls today let them sit for a few days and then start with a very light feeding regimen. See where that takes me.

U might be correct...

After I transplanted the four testers I got into those 20 gallon totes filled with a mix of fox farms ocean forest and happy frog-at a 50% to 50% ratio... I'm noticing a slight yellowish burn to some of the new growth tips... but only very little.

The one tester I have in the fabric pot is in a different soil mix that's called Michigan made mix or M3. - that plant looks better to me , it's got darker green leaves with no yellowish slightly burnt tips...

Those plants are looking good Chomsky. They do look a bit pale green instead of the darker green. New growth is usually a little bit lighter green though. Maybe a fllush then hit them with some higher nitrogen fish fertilizer? Either way keep up the good work with that SpyderX

Thanks funk, this is all definitely a labor of love.

Problem solved. I'm 100% positive that this cross is a light feeder. I gave them all a very thorough flush yesterday afternoon and this morning they have noticeably grown they are noticeably standing at attention and they are noticeably a little less yellow. I'm going to go ahead and let them suck up the rest of the water from this flush. I'm probably going to give them one more water feeding and then start with half strength nutrient regimen again. I'm feeling much better now.

I picked up DJ short's book 'growing exceptional cannabis' or something like that, in the Dam years ago. One sentence I never forgot: 'Whatever the manufacturer recommends on the bottle always feed half that amount!'

Glad those girls are looking better Chomsky!

OK Im happy again, the girls have recovered nicely and are now growing at least 3/4 an inch a day. I let the girls sit 3 days since flushing and just watered again. One note is that with all this organic shit PH is or isnt an issue depending on how you look at it. I know in organic soil PH is supposed to regulate itself. For the record, I think PH is immensely important. With my flush and watering I have been making sure the PH is right around 6+/- .1 or .2 All I can say is look at the plants. It makes a difference. So from here on out even with organic nutes Im PH'ing my water.

 

[moses wellfleet]

What are you using to adjust PH?

 

[nickman]

They're looking real happy and healthy...

I don't ever check my ph anymore. I used to every watering..
If I could get a half decent checker at the store that wasn't an arm and a leg to buy...
I always kept my ph around 6.2-6.5...

 

[chomsky]

Just regular ol PH down. However, I'm doing it the night before I use the water. I may start using lemon juice.

Buzzing for ya bro got em back on track
