Appreciate it!@libre how are you doing ? please keep us updated with some insights about your last season Purple Haze x Malawi harvest!
congrats on your harvest @Kiefcake i know the firsts indoor grows with tropical sativas are never easy .... but you learn a lot!
Some growing variables can be adjusted to improve the outcome, the plant looks like was grown with incorrect ph as you correctly pointed out, it was also overfeeded and probably flowered under too high temps. Even when growing tropical sativas, you get best quality flowering under slightly fresh temps. Quality drops if they are flowered with temps close to 30ºC or higher, particularly indoors where these sativas feel more constricted, especially even more when flowered from seed in a small tent.
The new clone looks super healthy and elegant i'm sure it's going to get better and better with more runs.
Hi Emeraldo thanks for choosing Purple Haze x Malawi and ACE genetics, much appreciated!
Those seedlings need a transplant! All the best for this outdoor season.
Thanks Dubi. Yes, the Purple Haze x Malawi seedlings grew so vigorously, and they got big quickly. Now I've up-potted all four into larger pots with more room for the roots. They are beautiful plants! Will post more later. Cheers all!Hi Emeraldo thanks for choosing Purple Haze x Malawi and ACE genetics, much appreciated!

Here are my 4 PHxM, now 7 weeks old. They all show yellowing on the older, lower leaves. Since all of the plants have some yellowing, I figure there must be something missing in my soil mix. From the look of the yellowed leaves, I thought it might be a K deficiency. A potassium deficiency would make sense to me because most the K sources in my soil mix are mineral based (kalium-magnesium, autumn fertiliser, and rock dust) and may need more than the 4 months since February to break down. Am using kelp meal and, for immediate availability, seaweed extract to provide K and counteract the deficiency.
The 1st photo is of the whole group, the second is of the plant that suffers the most. On that second photo, please note the half-burnt-off leaf in the center at the bottom. What do you all think the problem is? If it is a K deficiency, what is the best way to correct this now? Is seaweed extract a good way to go? If not, what else could it be and what can I do? Is this something that will go away as the plant matures?
Am concerned that this yellowing might continue despite my efforts. The new growth is not yellowing. Has anyone had this issue with PHxM? My Malawi and Super Malawi Haze don't seem to have this problem.
Any help on this would be very much appreciated. Thanks

Excellent, that's great!Hi Onboard, thanks for your input. The plants were never root bound, nor overwatered, nor is the soil on the hot side. The soil is a low-N "haze light" soil mix, with very little N, specifically mixed for Ace' s PHxM.
Underwatering might have been a factor. Since the weather heated up am giving them lots of pure clean mineral water every three days, pH'd to around 6.7. Soil pH is 6.3.
I think they are already recovering. Today I looked closely and saw the yellowing is actually improving, turning green again, after mixing seaweed extract for K with their water last week and spraying them with epsom salt solution via foliar feed for magnesium.
Cheers
You should try nematodes next time, best way to get rid of those fuckers. I had been battling for months those in my mother plants with spinosad, sand on top of pots, diatomaceous earth, lost Golden Tiger 3 and Oaxaca x Panama mothers. Nematodes finally did the job, after a week or so, all gone.Part of which was a massive fungus gnat infestation that resulted, and the ensuing treatments / soil drenches wasn't kind to any of the plants, and completely ineffective in treating the issue. It wasn't until the warm temps returned in April that the soil could begin to dry enough.
I actually came across some nematode balls on ebay, right around the time it Cleared itself up, so I never got around to ordering them, but its good to hear about their effectiveness.You should try nematodes next time, best way to get rid of those fuckers.

Hi mate,Could anyone please give me a general flowering time for the feminized version of PH x M? Particularly for indoor growing? Ive been growing south american sativas from ace so far but I think im going to run some thai and african crosses later this year for the fun of it
Thanks for the feedback my man. Ive already decided against growing this strain indoors but I look forward to an outdoor grow in a few years. She sounds stellar!Hi mate,
Didn't see your question answered so I'll do it.
Had grown 2 Purple Haze x Malawis last year. Plant with more Malawi influence was ready at 15.5 weeks and Hazier one took 17.5 weeks (add additional 4-5 weeks from switching to 11/13 till real start of flowering). During initial stretch they easily gain 300-400% of height and that's for mainlined plants
I start flowering at 11/13 and gradually diminish it to 9.5/14.5. My plants were started from seed. Clones should be some couple of weeks faster...
Hope it helps a bit.
Cheers,
