Oaxaca x Panama regular

[Charles Dankens]

Loads of passion in this thread. I enjoyed and appreciated all the contributions.

I grabbed an oaxacan x panama from NASC this morning. I'll get them started in the new year. VERY EXCITED to grow this strain. Hope the germ rate is high, I've had zero luck with small packs of straight panama and panama fems. But I am an ACE fan. Nepalese Jam was my 1st grow when getting back into indoor gardening.

I was away for some time and i fed her quite well before leaving. Despite that she showed some phosphous deficiency after 10 days in the upper leaves, yet bud development seems pretty good and happy.
One day after the first good feed, all the pistils are spiky and straight again, showing me that she likes it. Photo above was before the feed.

Smell is turning more and more lemon.

I have to add to my last post.
its probably caused by a lockout and the issue lies in a too high ph again, which is weird to me.
I filled the reservoir 10 days ago with ph-(t.a) adjusted tap water (5.8) and i just measured it at 7.7.
Is this crazy swing considered normal? I thought that the water stays at a certain level, once adjusted.
Maybe there is a chemical reaction between the acids and the waters minerals over a longer period of time. Any suggestions/tips?

I use pH down on my high pH tap water and that happens to me also. It depends on the composition of your water, I think. It is not as dramatic for me, but I expect the pH to rise from 6 to 7 over the course of a week.

Yeah ok. Good to know i am not the only one. It is probably different with filtered water. 2nd problem was my soil. I bought it, added some wormcasting and tested with destilled water after some time soaking and it was 7.4. if both situations come together. Bang lockout.

I feel a bit of shame to publish my mistakes but i am gonna show you what it looks like. The buds look and smell nice though. Getting a bit of a pointy shape.

From now on, i will try my best to feed her directly with ph adjusted water.

No shame in mistakes. That’s how we learn and grow. Those look like they’ll still give you a decent harvest.
