420 Magazine's Official Girl Scout Cookies Comparative Grow By CigNv

Yeah, it developed very quick. And the day after a feeding which really makes me lean towards burn instead of deficiency.

Here is a closer view of yesterday's pic.

Wish I could help - still learning to tell with leaf reading. It looks like a cal:mag deficiency from a picture chart I have of leaf signs. Once these leaves are like that from a deficiency how long does it take for the plant to recover and stop the progression? Hope this one bounces back.
 
I see cal/mag deficiency quite a bit with the nutrients I am using and a little garden lime and Epsom have been great additives for it. It has always started toward the bottom of the plant. Magnesium deficient and in the leaf between the veins will lose color. The calcium deficient will get light color and brown spots towards the outside edge of the leaf. I find it takes a few days to a week to start to recover from it. Effected leaves do not come back much if it has progressed to browning. You need to watch the new growth to see if it is getting better. I will add a couple pics of them recovering from this shortly.

This is not exactly the same as what is going on with #2. It started mid plant the day after its first good feeding and is progressing very fast. To note, #2 is the only one that seems to be doing this. The rest seem quite fine. For right now I will do nothing but keep a close eye on her. New growth seems ok, but they all do have a bit of yellow on the tips.
 
Recovering from cal/mag deficiency.

It doesn't look like it has progressed much more than it was yesterday. My guess so far is a nutrient toxicity at this point. Maybe too much potassium.

She is looking a little droopy as well as a few others. The soil is dry at the top but still wet at the bottom. I am thinking the roots just aren't there yet. Going to give them a decent drink with sns209 only.

Hard to tell - looks like a calcium/mag deficiency. The lower leaves in this example with potassium show curling with excess.

Day 36

#2 is still getting spots, but they are no longer light brown, more of a dark brown. Also seeing these spots on others close by like #1 and #5. Also starting to see an increase in fungus gnats. I have always seen one or two here and there, but there were about a dozen buzzing around them when I took a look a bit ago. So put mosquito bits on all of them and watered well. Maybe they are having root issues because of the gnats.

No way there is not enough calcium in there for them. Each 5 gallon pot got 3 tablespoon of garden lime mixed in when they were up potted. But it could be getting locked out especially if too much soluble fertilizer and root issues from bugs. I have also noted Slightly clawed leaves on a few, some leaves a bit too dark green, and a few tips yellowing. Also noted a couple of white spots which can mean bug issues as well.

I agree with Websissy. I'm pretty new to this but I think it looks like a calcium or magnesium deficiency.
 
@CigNv I think you're right about a lockout. Generally speaking the rest of the clan looks great. Maybe that container for whatever reason had a concentrated area of nutes when you transplanted causing a but of toxicity and shock. If it were a true deficiency, then the rest of the plants should be showing similar leaves since it is the same soil mix.

Also, you made a point a few posts ago about paying attention to the new growth. That can be tough sometimes. Everything in my DNA is telling me to fix the problem! Thing is...that problem may not be an issue anymore and has self-regulated. Then we're blasting it with nutes or flushing to try and fix the original problem causing a new problem. It can be a cruel cycle of emotions.
 
It can be. Loving them to death can be quite common. Although several others are starting to show the same issue.

I am thinking the calcium i added at transplant was likley too much and pushed up my ph and caused a lockout of the same nutrient i was trying to bump up. I have a ph meter on the way and added a bit of epsom salt to help balance it a bit. New growth still looks ok so going to let them ride it out until the meter arrives and adjust then. All the growth on them now is going to be removed going into flower in two weeks anyway, so looking a bit ragged for a couple weeks will be fine as long as i get it in check.
 
I also have a problem child. #4 of mine had some burning (most likely Ca deficiency). It looks ok now but I get different run off readings compared to the other three. The numbers are way different and I can't figure out why.
 
From seeing others runs with this there just looks to be a bit of a difference in the nutrient demand in each plant. My guess is just pheno differences.
 
Wow the consistency is amazing and very visually pleasing! I'm sure you will figure out that individual plants needs now that it has been identified as having different needs or different conditions currently. Anyway, this one looks like a duck landing to me.... keep up the great work cig!

Got caught up. They are looking great Cig. That one funky looking one, I think 12, may be a long lost cousin of my #5. Haaa haaaa. At least yours looks like it will probably live and thrive.

I thought mine looked like a flying bird at one point (I was super baked) and now it looks like a mutated swamp thing. :laugh: :hmmmm::passitleft:

Day 38

Still deficient, but new growth looks good and they don't seem to be slowing down too much so going to wait on the ph meter before I do anything drastic. Just plain water and maybe some real light nutes. But it should be here before or pretty close to their next needed watering. One thing I have noticed is that a few of them appear to have little effects so far. My guess is a few phenos like the lower calcium or in general are not as sensitive.

And yes, #11 the ugly duckling is starting to look pretty decent.

I took off the main top at the first two nodes. then topped one of those nodes once to even them up. so there are now two main branches, one of which had been topped once.
 
Some close ups of her.

Nice pruning work! How many nodes were above it when you topped her? I am trying to get a baseline for mine. I'm not quite confident in my current plan. Thanks.
 
She had no nodes above these 1st 2. This is #11, the deformed one that started its first 4 leaves and never developed a top.
