UK Cheese - Mandala Hashberry - Paradise Sensi Star

Yeah, that and I really don't want to load these up on too much nutes yet, better to bump it a little later I think. I'm trying to go as low as possible. It's a learning thing :)

Peace bro!

hey metamorf ur girls look great with that hair cut
the sulphur will change the ph on the surface of the leaf ,thus curing pm so it says
it also says ur ok up until last 2 - 3 wks of flower to use it
but next run u will be cured at least :yes:
vaporising is safe and harmless , but if u burn it dont breath any fumes :respect:

Thanks m@rg!
I've got a node on that big cheese tree that sports a couple of bud sites without any green whatsoever, just yellow and white. Freaky stuff.
There's a biological cure for PM now, I'm trying to get hold of it, it's in kinda trial mode in Sweden right now so you have to get a permit to use it. I'm gonna try to work around that :)

And now for some budshots..




Hashberry, blackberry pheno (the spear pheno). Tastes and smells like blackberry candy. Niiice high.




Hashberry, blackberry pheno (the spear pheno). Trichs :)





Hashberry, spicy pheno. A lot more stoney than the other one. Not a keeper for me as it spit out some seeds and possibly a couple of nanners deep inside the flowers.

More big pics, a look at the flowering ladies.

A Christmas UK Cheese tree :)




One node shows this funny variegation. The bud has no color either, I'm curious on how it's going to develop further on.






GHS White Rhino, freaky large leaves and also some deficiencies... Bone, could you pitch in here please?




Paradise Sensi Star, also some deficiencies but fattening up.. A few weeks to go.







UKCheese again, I should have trimmed this bitch a bit more in the beginning, it's a nightmare now with all the weak stems falling over. It's getting fat, though :)






I'm picking up some Canna Magnesium and Calcium today, I'm thinking it's a calcium issue with the deficiencies. pH has been in check for a long time now, no swings so it's either nitrogen or mag/cal but the leaves don't look like N def??

it looks a bit like nute and salt build up in the pots.

you did use PK and a few other products didnt you? its normal for some minerals to get locked out in excess of others. some plants are more sensitive than others.

i can say the CT x PTK of mine have reacted pretty similar when i started giving PK and flowering aditives..

my tip is to lower the main nutes when giving PK. also if you use Phosforic acid in flowering its a good idea to use nitric acid for just the weeks you give PK.

let me explain why - the fosforic acid reacts with the P and the K and makes an unsoluble mix - it becomes plaster.

im sure it should be ok anyway - but be carefull giving a lot of products at once :D

is it of any help :D ?

peace mate!

Thanks Bone. I guess it could be that allthough I was feeling I was feeding on the weaker side of the spectrum. Just switched to phosphoric acid for pH-down, been using nitric acid until now. Well, I'll do a flush tomorrow and check the runoff EC.

The death of the fungus gnats is imminent now, I'll be getting 25000 predatory mites next week and that should be the end of it :D

Oh well, I did a flush tonight instead. Sure helps to have a big tray with a drain when you're flushing, glad I built that 3x3 tray :)

I flushed with pH balanced water, with GH Flora Micro at 1 ml/l using Nitric Acid for pH-down. pH at 5.6

I'm thinking about if I should try to keep the pH at 6.0 in the coco instead, what do you think bone? I've been seeing deficiencies / lockouts thru a couple of harvests now - and I haven't been feeding heavy either. EC has never been over 2.0, more like in the range of 1.2-1.7. PK 13/14 has been used at moderate concentrations and I always do a mid-flower flush to get rid of buildup.

I'm hitting a wall here, can't figure out whats wrong given that my pH has been stable and my nutrients at the low end. I see these yellowing crunchy necrotic spotty leaves and it seems to be accelerating since the last 7 days or so.

ph at 6 works well :D

using a lot of ph down gives higher EC :D

watering every few waterings with plain water is good. i mean besides flushing.

do you have a foto of a leaf showing the problem a bit closer?

but seriously - the biggest problem causer as i see it is PK in general, and higher nute doses around that.

i think in general you plans are slightly too dark green, and it might indicate that the necrosis is because of nute burn/salt build up. im simplyfying because lock out because of high levels of certain nutes can also be a problem.

PK is a problem causer in general. at what dose were you using it at?

not all plants handle 1.7 ec well to my experience.

BUT if you are late in flowering, i think best bet is just to flush, and next watering give a bit lower nutes. do water regularly with plain water - try every other watering etc dont give more PK to those plants nor anything else in that way.

worst thing to do is to ad more in a case like this.

with new strains i often get different signs of problems in different stages - i normally just try to pull back. and see what happens.

dead spots wont disapear so dont get stressed over them :D

ah damn i realize you used melasses!

it has lots of potassium and this can lock out calcium from the plant. some of mine are reacting the same to the sugarcane molasses thing called panela i use.i guess just stop with that to them - and go back to just normal nutes. :D

peace :D

Hmm.. I was looking at mynamestitchs thread and it kinda looks like phosphorus def. I'mna try to take a pic of a leaf for you to see.

bonecarver_OG

you are using;

PK
molasses
flowering booster
canna nutes

all at once?
 

metamorf

Member
No, one out of four waterings gets a boost, I've done three or four molasses waterings since start of 12/12. PK for a week or two per plant (when it's time for it) at 0,5 - 1,0 ml/l. Flowering booster is just amino acids and vitamins and the canna nutes I've been running at 15-20 ml/l.

Here's the freaking leaves.

that doesnt look like salt related to me, nor is it nute burn i think.

from the description of your nute plan the only possible cause could be lock out because of the PK.

if its not that - beats me mate :D

Hmm. Could it be from the PM outbreak that I treated with bacterial stuff then? I'm lost. AND my dog just farted a big nasty one right at me.
 
B

bonecarver_OG

nah i dont think the bacterial stuff should affect them..

hehe cant help ya with the dog neither :D hehe
