UPDATE:
Day 39 of flower. We're doing just okay. The front plant is the Gorilla Zkittlez, Rita. She's doing great, no real issues with the leaves.
The other two, in the back, are Mimosa EVO and they are not playing well. I keep having issues with yellowing and brown areas on the leaves no matter what I do to try and correct. PH is good, watering frequency and feed is good, and the nutrients are fresh bottles....except one. The Botanicare Cal/mag is from a few years ago, it had been stored in the basement. I started having trouble with these two plants when I ran out of my General Hydroponics Cal/Mag and had to switch to the Botanicare.
Personally, at this point, I believe the shelf life of that Botanicare Cal/Mag expired. I've read that once opened they have a shelf life up to a year, and unopened can last up to 5 years. Considering my last grows before I came back to the site were in 2017, I believe this stuff is just too old even though it was unopened.
I am ordering fresh GH Cal/Mag today. I'm hoping that is what the issue has been. Buds are doing fine, but those leaves just suck.

So without further complaining, here they are today:




First, your girls look amazing!!! Adding serious bud. Stunning images cuz… well, it’s what you do!

Hmmm… I was looking at your leaves and I remembered there were real good images of what the problem is with how your leaves look. To me, it looks like a potassium deficiency, but I’m not there. Do your leaves look like any of these?

DAY 28 BANANA BLAZE AUTO.

Just dropping by with some photos of growth for now. She is just taking off 🤩 getting more bush like daily . I did very gently and very carefully bend some of her branches downward to promote inner growth a couple days ago and she seems to be appreciating it very much. Tomorrow is water and feed day, and I will be adding bush doctor Cal-mag to the mix to remedy the few spots I am seeing on the leaves.

No pest ..... No problems.... No concerns 😁.

Hey Happy! :high-five: Gotta say, I’ve been looking at … umm.. quadlining, I think that’s the word. Your plant is a perfect image representing this, and it’s a beautiful thing!:thumb:

Thanks Granny! I do have that illustration, and I've been over it several times. I'm going to see how they do this week without the koolbloom and some fresh cal/mag. 💞

Update
It’s been a minute since I’ve posted but, I’m still here!
Now to at the stretch is over and the buds are fattening up, I can see the results, or lack there of.
Betty hasn’t produced enough main colas for my liking, and her side shoots didn’t stretch enough to fill in the gaps.
@North Atlantic Seed Co recommended to top a couple times, and so I did.
One, to make the quad line, and each of the resulting 4 branches were topped again, to make 8. In hindsight, I should have topped them all once more to make 16 per plant, and then just remove any side shoots below that point.
(Next time)
On top of that, Betty appears to have the measles on some of her lower fan leaves. They are turning yellow with tiny spots.
Not sure why but, it’s isolated to just her.

Joan is doing great and has stood out as the better of the two from early on.
I took two clones in the first week of flower to try my second attempt at cloning.
She’s developing a beautiful lavender purple hue and her limbs are turning black. She has tons of frost and I can’t wait to see what she does next. Her side shoots are thicker and stretched a bit more making for a fuller canopy.

Happy to see ya Old Doggy! Things are coming along, I've been watching how that SIP thing works.
Does it take up more room to use that system in a tent than a plain pot watered by hand? I worry about it being cumbersome to work around. I've never done a tent grow.

On the leaf issues, it looks to me like a magnesium deficiency with those dark and almost purple spots on the leaves. It will start at the bottom and work it's way upward from what I remember reading. We'll see what others say....

Don't feel like the lone stranger, I've been having leaf issues on two plants as well. One is doing just fine, the other two of a different strain are suffering issues.

Frostilicious Olddog! :yummy:
 
I unfortunately have to drop out of the guyz vs galz... I was served with an O.P and police escorted from where I was living......Which means the grow tent and everything must stay behind. Idk when I'll be back up and running but for now I cannot grow .

OMG! I am so sorry to read this!
Take care of yourself and I sure as hell hope things turn out okay for you. I hope you are back soon.
Much love and prayers. 💞 💞💞

Oh I'll still be here and was fortunate enough to have cut all my plants last week

Damn bro!
Don’t worry about the grow, we will be here when you’re able again!
Take care of you, and the rest will fall in place.

The whole set up is quite a bit taller than a fabric pot grow. I’m sure you could use a plant stand with rollers on it if ya needed it mobile.
In my design, the bucket lifts out of the reservoir so, when I switch from the veg to the flower tent, I don’t even disconnect my lines.
I have thought about your situation with carrying water and I honestly think this set up would be a total game changer for you.
It’s one thing to make the task of watering plants easier but, it’s a whole other thing to eliminate it completely. (I haven’t watered a plant, past the seedling stage, in the last 3 grows)
I’ve seen how handy you are, and have no doubt it’s within your ability to build one to try out.
If you need details and specs, I’d be more than happy to give you what help or info I can.
