Well... I totally forgot to put the drench amount and whatnot on my last update. Sorry about that gang...Morning gang, update on Groot this morning. So her last feeding was a GI Drench but since she’d losing so many lower fans I decided today to give her a TP Drench to maybe help wirh that... she doesn’t have that much longer but if she loses many more fans there won’t be many to apply the foliars to. Ya know... since the top leaves are burnt up and all... so first pic is of some dying lower fans then some bud shots!
Thanks for looking everyone! I hope you are all doing well today!
With Summer and the temps and humidity, my door to my flower room wasn't sealing all the way. It was creating just a bit of light to leak in the the bottom of the jam. Very minimal, but I still had half my plants start to throw reveg leaves on the bud tips before I found the problem. It would take me a minute or two sitting in the room with the lights off before I could even see anything. We don't use any far red light like naturally occurs outside, so a very small leak can do it.
Nanners can hide in many places. Check any growth close to the stalk. they like to hid right up against it behind female flowers. If you really cannot find any evidence of nanners on the Panama, then I would have to wonder if maybe there was pollen in the tent still from a previous grow. It could have been laying idle and gotten stirred up after you moved around in the tent. After this round is finished I would wash your whole tent down just to be sure you have deactivated any pollen that may be in it. Make sure to get your lights and fans and anything else inside the grow area. Even the closet it is in should be washed down too just in case it is getting pulled in through your intake. Also one of the issues with a lot of tents is that they have pin hoels that allow light in. Whether they are in the walls or along the zi[ppers it can cause you issues. Kitchenhawk has duct tape covering a lot of his tent to help eliminate light leaks. I need to do a better job of eliminating them as well. I really just want to build rooms. Some day i just might.
Awesome, so one option could be to add some far red to help them deal with the light leaks... that sounds good and an easy way to help with this issue. Thank you Morglie!
ill check her when I get home again and see if I can find any nanners...
Sometimes nanners form late in flower as the plants last ditch effort to carry on the line. It can also happen if the plants run too long. I doubt you are running the Panama too long though so that is not it. It could still be a genetic thing. A lot of long flowering sativas are nearly impossible to run without herming. I am not sure if the Panama is like that as i have not run it mysel. I do recall Graytail saying his purple Panama self pollenated and he ended up running one of the seeds and got another purple pheno from it. If you are worried about the light on your humidifier (I believe thats what you mentioned) then just cover it with tape. That will eliminate that light source at least!
Well I guess I coulda been running some of those indica leaning hybrids too long... but like you said I doubt that’s the issue with Groot.
Hey there KB, yes sir only lights in the tent is on the power strip and that was covered before I put it in there. I too have the vent facing a wall about 1/2”-1” gap for air... other two are closed. Any other ideas are greatly appreciated! Thanks killer!
So the next step would be to remove the plants and get inside the tent yourself zip it up during dark period and look for light lol
I'm not certain what spectrum you need. I've never researched it personally. If I remember correctly @kelticBlue put some in. I'll ask in his thread.
That’s actually not a bad idea there KB, I think I’ll try that when I get home. I’ll have my wife zip me up... thanks for that!! I’ll report my finding. I’ll sit in there for a good 3-4 min let my eyes adjust and see what I see!
awesome, thank you... good ol Gazoo his here too so he may be able to shed some light on the spectrum I need.
Hey Gazoo! I’m not sure, I bet there’s someone around here growing outside... not sure how their plants would handle the 100+ heat here but it’s possible for sure. Now I’m wondering how I’d even be able to Baird against that... even if I took a shower before I went in there is still a chance it in the house....
So you’re thinking maybe a HEPA filter on the intake for my house ac? That could help... I honestly have no idea if there’s any wild patches around. It’s so dry here I don’t see how they could survive without help. But I’m sure they do in other parts of the world so why not here eh...
