Boo’s Perpetual Grow Journal

Beautiful growing Boobird!

 

[Heavenly Hybrid]

Ooooo Boo! I hope you like the sour tangie too! I still have oil made from that and it’s such a good daytime, happy stone. Hey @Virgin Ground did you see the banana kush over here?

Nice grow Boo, you have such a talented green thumb.

 

[Virgin Ground]

Bananananana huh!?!?
My fave!!!!

That Lemon OG Candy was the mostest terpiest one of all. Like sucking on a lemon Wet Nap™.
Enjoy!

I think mine came up wonky too. Just jumped out of the soil.

Btw...happy belated mom's day!

 

[BooWho2]

Oof! Without even running through the calc it looks like you'll be low in Mg and high in sulfur. And I don't see the need for the Boost at all.

Do you want a @MrSauga-recommended blend of these for different stages of growth? Or you can stick to their feeding schedule and see how it goes first time through.

I think I will try it out as is first, and then when I start having trouble I'll beg for help!

Ok @InTheShed …..help?

I did a fairly heavy defol a couple of weeks ago, but she is doing another one on her own. Thoughts?

 

[StoneOtter]

Ooh Shed's out retrieving his son from dormlife. What are you feeding and where in flower is she? Looks like maybe some terp/purpinator may help but lets see. Check out phosphorus def pics and tell me if they match your leaves.

 

[Heavenly Hybrid]

Oh no, sorry Boo. @Virgin Ground is my troubleshooting helper, maybe she can help?

 

[Carcass]

Well, Hell, Boo...

My ATF started doing close to the same thing- I thought it was an N problem at first, then, when rust spots started showing up, I decided it was a K deficiency, and I started her on 15ml of Purpinator with every watering, and it stopped the progression..

But, I don't see those telltale rust spots on your lady...and the leaf tips say she shouldn't be hungry...

Ph problem maybe?...a flush probably wouldn't hurt...

I wish I was more help, but diagnosing problems is not my strong point...

Good Luck, Boo- Hopefully, the correct answer comes along pretty soon...

Well she still looks beautiful! They look like gold jewels!

Check soil pH and check the roots for rot.

Did this start from the top down or the bottom going up?

What are you feeding and what medium is she in?

 

[Virgin Ground]

You'll probably end up leaching her but try to do the slurry test first..

I will check the soil when lights are back on in the morning. I’ve never done a slurry before. She is in fresh ProMix (7 gal Geopot) and I am trying the new Lotus nutrients. She’s got more tip burn than I usually like. Shed said I may have a problem in flower based on the NPK of the nutrients. I’m thinking about just moving over to Prescription Blend and calling it a day.

 

[Carcass]

Well, that puts some holes in my pH diagnosis guess...

I use ProMix, and I haven't pH'd my water for over a year-
the built-in buffering in the ProMix seems to take care of that pretty well.

Doesn't mean it's not a pH issue, but it seems less likely in Promix..

Shed may have been right about the NPK issues-
I think switching nutes might be a good idea..
those tips do have a bit more burn than I like to see also..

 

[InTheShed]

for the delay! If you haven't gone to PB yet can you tell me how much you're using of each of the Pro Series?

Here is where I'd be for mid-late flower:
Grow: 7.2g/gallon
Calmag: 1g/gallon

That's it!

The result is:
162-33-206 (high on the ammoniacal N though), with Ca: 124, Mg: 36, and S: 57.

Hi Shed and thank you. I hope you got your boy home safely.
She is 4 weeks n flower right now. The first week in flower (according to the feeding schedule I was given) she got 3.5 g Grow, 4.5 g Bloom, and 1.8 g Cal Mag per gallon. For the last 3 weeks she has gotten 5 g Bloom, 1.8 g Cal Mag, and 3.5 g Boost per gallon. I’m supposed to bump up to 7.5 g Bloom, eliminate the Cal Mag, and continue the 3.5 g Boost for the rest of the grow….. Im sure you noticed the tip burn. Bumping the Bloom doesn’t seem like a good idea to me.

 

[InTheShed]

For the last 3 weeks she has gotten 5 g Bloom, 1.8 g Cal Mag, and 3.5 g Boost per gallon.

That puts you at 88-68-204 with Ca: 139, Mg: 40, and S: 58.

It's pretty close to what I had but your N is very low, which might explain why it looks hungry. You could try mine to runoff for the next two waterings and see if the yellowing stops spreading.

I will try your calculation of just the Grow and Cal Mag and see what happens. The buds look okay, the leaves are the main sufferers. Thanks so much.

Hi Boo, any new growth?

 

[BooWho2]

Hi Boo, any new growth?

Hi Stone! Stand by for an update!

 

[BooWho2]

Hi Everybody! Here’s a little update on the Skunk as well as the summer grow….

Shes pretty fugly but the yellow has stopped! Thank you again to @InTheShed for doing the math for me on those nutrients. Heck, I only needed 2 of the four jars of stuff the grow shop sold me…

Here is a closer shot of her - even fuglier…

Now that’s a little prettier. I’m thinking she’s got a couple of weeks to go. I plan to drop a Wookie soon.
Now let’s look at the summer grow:

Up first is Sour Tangie. She’s gorgeous, happy and green. For an 80% Sativa gal she sure has some Indica sized leaves.

Next is Banana Kush.

She is also gorgeous, happy, green, and has a really nice node separation. Last but not least is the Lemon OG Candy.

LOGC is just as happy as the other gals and smells amazing. Yum. I forgot to write down their DOBs but I believe it was around 15 April so I’m sticking with that. This year I will likely have 3 outdoor plants (at least that’s what I’m planning on now). I need to configure another pallet into my grow space and am thinking of accepting the offer of some heavy duty plastic pallets from the local brewery. I need to see how heavy they are. I’ve always up potted photoperiod seedlings incrementally until they finally end up in a large pot but I’ve gotten such a late start this year I was thinking that maybe I would move them from the one gallons into the final pot once they have a good root ball going. I’ve got a 25 gal pot and 2 larger pots (need to measure them and figure out how many gallons they are). Does anyone see an issue with doing that? I’ve noticed that my outdoor grows tend to start flowering in mid July so it would give them time to get growing in a bigger pot?

And the quotes:

And here I thought you might have been just goofing off and not growing or something...
I stand corrected!
Skunk is a beauty, and the summer crew looks eager to get started- great looking bunch, Boo!

Oh, I will always be growing…

So pretty. Can't wait for them to be monsters tied down against the wind.

You and me both!

Beautiful growing Boobird!

Thanks Tra!

Ooooo Boo! I hope you like the sour tangie too! I still have oil made from that and it’s such a good daytime, happy stone.

The Tangie auto I grew is exactly that! I can’t wait to have a shitload of it!

That Lemon OG Candy was the mostest terpiest one of all. Like sucking on a lemon Wet Nap™.
Enjoy!

Sounds delicious!

Here is where I'd be for mid-late flower:
Grow: 7.2g/gallon
Calmag: 1g/gallon

That's it!

Again, thanks so much for those calculations, she is much improved.

Thats all folks! Thanks for watching, I really appreciate it.

 

[InTheShed]

Excellent homeostasis on the recovered Skunk! No problem getting that through to a happy harvest.

And the three outsiders look lovely.

I find that often happens when I do calcs for someone who has 3 or 4 bottles.

I think you have a good enough handle on watering practices to carry that off...and I hope there's 24 gallons of root growth left in the season!
