Kreat Grow Diary

damn, I wish I was better at diagnosing sick plants. I can never tell. But I'd listen to zepp, that guy has forgotten more about MJ than I'll ever know probably. They haven't had nutes before right? Then I don't see how they could be burnt unless your soil is to rich, and I don't think it is. Only other thing I could think of would be nute lockout due to ph or mag. deficiency.

ya may wanna have a mod move this to the indoor grow section so ya could get advice from others who have more experience with sick plants and have seen this problem.

don't go too heavy at first... looks like they need a little N, hints the slight yellow spots...

I agree with Zepp! The overall light green tint in a couple of the pics maybe due to your lighting screwing with your camera. However, the rust colored spotting of a couple of those leaves look VERY MUCH like a magnesium deficiency. If it were from the nutes being too hot, the leaves would burn at the tips and not in the middle of the leaves themselves. You can head off this problem by adding 1/2 teaspoon of Epsom Salts per gallon to your water the next time you water them. After treating this initial problem, just watering them once with 1/4 teaspoon of Epsom Salts per gallon every three weeks or so after that.

Cannabis plants are magnesium "hogs" according to Advanced Nutrients and supplementation most always needs to occur. Epsom Salts are cheap and are available at any drug store. One thing you need to be sure to do is to dissolve the Epsom Salts in hot water (a cup or two will do) and stir it until completely dissolved BEFORE adding to the rest of your water.

As for feeding them Nitrogen, I believe Zepp is right on with this one as they are now old enough to be fed but I would go 1/4 strength on your feedings for a week or so before going stronger. Also, be sure to PH the "run off" water to make sure the soil PH is where you want it. Preferably between 6.0-6.5 would be great!

Okay Well the nutes I use don't have any nitrogen in them. So should I add some nitrogen to just that one plant? Along with the magnesium ? I still havnt applied any ferts yet and they have all been treated with the same soil from the same bag.

Thanks for the help so far all, I'm learning quite a bit!

if I might suggest, get some peruvian seabird guano and make a compost tea and give them all a drink of it, you'll see results within a week, the stuff is great!!

 

[Guest]

Someone suggested to me to check to see if there are any type of tiny bugs underneath the leaves and I beleive I see some small tiny black dots, but can't really make out what they are. Any ideas?

 

[Guest]

spider mites or thrips? can ya get a pic of it?

 

[Guest]

Ill try to get a picture tomarrow if I can. I don't know if its dirt and me just being paranoid, but ill try to get it tomarrow when my lights are on.

Well its been quite some time since i've been able to get on here and i'll try to get some updated pictures. Unfortuntly i'm down to 6 plants now all females. I left them in 1 gallon pots for too long and they were stunted in growth(where you could tell from the leaves since they were so small) but now 4 of them are in 7 gallon grow bags while two are in the ground. They are all flowering but they are streching to the sky now. My tallest is about 4 feet tall right now. I'm sure there going to be getting bigger. Also unfortunetly my labels got wrecked in a bad wind/rain storm we had and i forgot which were which(since i couldn
t get my digi there to take pictures)

They are looking better but i'll try to get some pictures if i can soon. Just letting you all know there still going and doing pretty well!

 

[Guest]

Well here are the pictures I promised. I was in a rush when I took these pics because it was just about to pour so there not the best quality. They are going to be slow in flower because of the amount of sun they currently recieve. Hopefully Ill just get some good bud though =p. This is my first grow so I'm not expecting much but experience.

 

[Guest]

No feeback huh? Guess its been to long since i've posted.

 

[Guest]

Looking good !!! Damn I love the outdoors ! Just wish I could grow there LOL They Look to blend in quite well When do you suppose those girls will be done? Our season doesnt run long enough for really good outdoors, it get wet early on so they mold easy If it gets warm early on march maybe you can grow some HUGH shit I saw a few well over 12 ft. with 3ft buds. Its all kind of a gamble, thats why Im inside

 

[Guest]

To be honest i'm not exactly sure when they will be done. I'm hoping they will be done by the end of sept early october. even if there not 100% done I have have to chop them down anyway. There starting to get very big. They love thesde 7 gallon grow bags. They are roughly 4 ft tall right now and still streching. I have no idea what i'm going to do with all this bud once its done! What sucks though is I might have to do a water cure to these beaties since i'm gonna have to take them on a 3 hr road trip. It'd be to risky i think to have them wet in my car wrecking up the place. I'm not sure yet I have to see how time is on my side.

The Sativa mix I found out is actually a NYCD cross mix along with another strain. So I really can't wait. For my next indoor grow i'm doing a micro grow with rubbermaids in my closet in my new apartment with most likely doing Scrog. Kevvie on OG did a great job and I think it would fit perfectly in my area, that or i'm gonna make my own collapsible cage out of PVC pipe and black/white mylar, not sure yet.

 

[Guest]

Also in my first picture it shows some purple in it. On the plant that is the only purple area on the entire plant, is there any reason for that? (The picture doesn't do it justice as i'm not that great with my s400 canon)

 

[Guest]

Went to go check up on my babies, have about one more week before I can't check up on them anymore and there on there own from there. Today I noticed 1 plant with its leaves yellowing. it looks like theres also little holes in the leaves, I beleive its nitrogran def but not sure wonder if anyone else can tell?





Thanks!

when you look to buy a 400w hps i would say either go to www.mdhydro.com or check out ebay i got my ballast kit from a dude on there he's got a store high tech garden supply i think u can actually go to www.hightechgardensupply.com and it brings u to the store. like 60 bucks and mdhydro has 400w bulbs for like 10 bucks.
good luck with ur grow

Kreat- if the yellowing starts from the bottom up its nitrogenl... feed em with some fish emulsion mix, or any fert high in nitrogen...

 

[Guest]

Is there any slow release nitrogen ferts? I'll be leaving the plants by them selves soon and won't be able to visit them to often so if i can get a slow release fert i think that wold be beneficial

 

[bartender187]

Kreat- hmm im sure there are... try mixing some soil with some bat gauna, and ammend the top soil with it (i.e. just add soil to the top.)... when it rains the guana will be released to the plantover a longer period of time than if you were just to mix up some nutes and water it...

i dont know if i made anysense... im pretty stoned.

 

[Guest]

Osmocote balls is a slow release fertilizer. Inorganic, in case you were wanting to stay all organic.

 

[Guest]

Thanks for the advice, the plants are looking better unfortunetly I must leave them now and not be able to visit them for another month or so, We'll see how they turn out next time I see the babies.
