5x Seedsman Seeds White Widow

Alright..so first off there's some problems that are being taken care of at the moment as far as deficiencies and burning as all the strains respond very different from one another. Have the big plants figured out, however it's the Purple Trainwreck that is my biggest problem. You'll see what i'm talking about, i'm sure.

Just gave it a good flush, and moved it a little further from the light. Input on it always helps, feel free to let me know what you think might be going on.


We're at day 35 as of right now (technically)

I screwed up adding the pictures, if you want the descriptions of each one they're uploaded to my profile..sorry.

Looks really nice. Hows the veg on that money maker? Is it slow to grow, and gain size? The leaves curling into "Taco's" might be because of low humidity and higher temps. If temps are on the higher side, raising the humidity may elp to fix that prob.....if that's the cause.
You said your purple trainwreck doesn't like food. When I have a strain like that, I usually keep a couple gallon jugs of plain ph'd water around to feed just the plant that doesn't like food. Your pineapple chunk is the most sativa expression I've seen to date......I grow thatstrain as well. the #1 pheno I have is almost diesel in taste and effect. Big fat rips take the breath right outta ya, sometimes even before you get a chance to inhale.

In all honesty, while the money makers were vegging i did not give them that much in terms of nutrients. They grew pretty quick, nice and bushy, respond well to topping. If you pump them with nutrients i'm sure they would take off even more. I was using maybe 1/4-1/3 strength for them. They spacing of the bud sites is really nice. I have 3 pheno's, each one is amazing in there own way. The density, smell, trichome production is all on point.

I'm working with 69-75 degree temperatures and 40-50$ humidty 24/7. The closest to the lights one of my plants is would be the biggest one in front of the A/C. 2 of the tops are about 9" from the light, which has the A/C blowing directly over it so heat isn't really an issue anywhere. The furthest from the light the smalles plant is..is probably around 18-20".

The Purple Trainwreck was loving all the nutrients i was giving it, then literally over 2 days from the last feeding it just gave out and snowballed in 5 days to what i'm looking at now. I flushed it, very well. that was 2 days ago now..It seems to have stopped the progressing of whatever problem i'm having now i just have to neutralize it and bring it back to the healthier side of life.

The Pineapple chunk...It literally doubled in size, each of the top colas are about 13" long for the 2 biggest ones..it's absolutely loving the nutrients i've been giving it. It focused on crystal production first and for most while it was stretching. The bud sites just started to really fill out a couple days ago but the whole thing is already frosted over. I'm very excited to see how this one will be when it finishes up. The smell is already pretty pungent, it's definitely a hint of pineapple and something else i can't put my finger on.

I'm going to take some more shots tonight, get a nice close up of every plant. Let's see some more frost on this thread!

I say go easy on the sensitive plant while in FFOF soil next time around
as it had plenty of food if its a light feeding strain in that hot soil.
my 2 cents just read a few soil threads with the ffof and light feeders

Very nice plants!

For sure, this grow was just a test run of a few different strains to see if there was some in there that i wanted to run an entire grow of next time.

I was giving that one the same amount of nutrients as all the others up until about day 30 when it started to turn on me, really caught me off guard as it was the healthiest looking plant in the room at the time.

2 of my 5 Critical Kush from Barney's Farm just sprouted this morning too so i'll be updating that here and there as well, might try out the happy frog blend this time as well.

Thanks for the update Apache, appreciate the input.

Hey check out the thread I was talkning about like post #391 https://www.icmag.com/ic/showthread.php?t=158411&page=27

he shows the runoff from FFOF out the bag at 1800 ppm
and later on in flower he test the runoff with a ppm
to see which plants are feeding heavy or not ^$$$

 

[Reaper1337]

Wow, alright. Thank you for that! I've been debating trying happy frog the next round at least for a couple plants. Have you ever tried it?

 

[Apache Kush]

No never tried Happy frog I stick with the FFOF because I like how it has so much in it.
I would use the light warrior from FF, for seedlings and sprouts before the first transplants
because the ''light'' warrior is not hot at all and is a good light planter mix when the pants are small.

I think happy frog is a good conditioner for beds in gardens. It does have the mycos or beneficial bacteria.
Its also has guano and the earthworms castings but HF, Does Not have the fishy, crab, kelp meal stuff.
Pick your preference or experiment.

The happy frog would be probably be better for that sensitive strain you got going versus Ocean Grow.
Go on youtube and look at side by side experiments too.

 

[Apache Kush]

Also, do you have a ph pen?

could be locking stuff out if ph is out of whack when you water/feed
but I'm no expert on that stuff yet just thinking

the tips on the fan leaves are a little burned and turned up

 

[Reaper1337]

I do have a pH pen. It could probably use a cleaning and a recalibration while I'm at it
The purple train wreck has seemingly stopped getting worse now so its just a matter of bringing her back. I'll have to check out some more YouTube videos and do a little more research

 

[Reaper1337]

I just ran some plain pH water through my purple train wreck and tested the drainage, pH 6.2 ppm 1700. Just thought id throw that in there.

Ok good data there. ^ Seems high ppm to me for that far along in flower

Defiantly calibrate that meter soon be sure. Post a new picture of the damage areas
I'm sure some pro grower will chime in soon here.
You should be fine just stop the nutes and use h20, see if the symtoms improve.
Good luck I'' be lurking to see whats up.

 

[Reaper1337]

Here's a harvest picture from my last round. I just stumbled across it so i figured i'd put it up

These are both Auto's.

This one is Sweet Seeds +Speed

And here we have Sweet Seeds Dark Devil
