Burning Lights on Cold Winter Nights

[nivek]

well then thank you for your concern beateo, and everyone,, it helped,, this morning the little one is looking much chipperer,, indeed. it was actually supporting itself first thing,, props to it,, ha, the prop is for moral support as much as physical support. i have faith in afghanis,, cheers folks

btw, i figure three more days and the stalk sill split and super stalk will emerge. that is the timing from my lemon haze super stalk emergence. check my journal if you care at all what the heck i am talking about,, cheers

 

[Beateo]

OK... SOMEBODY on this damn thread better help me figure out why the hell I can't keep people straight here??? WTF? Only explanation I can think of is the birthdays have caught up to me and I'm going to start drooling on myself any day now! All you guys just grow nice plants dammit!! lol

 

[Dchannn]

Beateo- I say more green, that always helps me keep things organized.


Nivek- I know exactly what your super stalk is. At least we know what is going on in this thread( lol jk Beateo)

 

[Equanimity]

Sometimes seedlings just be saggy yo... I've had some do that and others be fine - of the same strain and all and under the same conditions.

Really expect these to grow very much past the apparent bounds of the grow area lol

 

[Dchannn]

Hey guys, can you check on this for me? I have already looked at the leaf guide to try and determine if there is an issue with my baby girl. It seems like the development of something wrong, maybe I am paranoid??

 

[Dchannn]

This is the full view, any ideas guys

 

[nivek]

i would press the unlike button if there was one. concerning indeed. i see dry, number one,,the soil, and no soft, lush. little ones need so little help nutrient wise, but sure need water. i hope others can help dch,,

 

[Dchannn]

-I have damp soil right under the surface, I would need watering tomorrow if I were to follow my schedule.

 

[Dchannn]

And I will defo not use nutes until week 3/4.

 

[Dchannn]

Gave both my girls a nice helping of aqua tonight.

-Still looking for some advice on my Kabala leafs-

 

[PlanetJ]

All that bark .. is your 'soil' not too acidic ? At this age, it can only be pH I'd say .. there should be enough nutrients in the seed to last her till past this point. I had a similar thing when trying to grow in coco without pH adjusted water. They would not grow and develop deficiencies. Changed to soil, issue solved. Alternative would have been to adjust pH

 

[Beateo]

Dchannn, PlanetJ may be correct? I see at the beginning you are/were using both Miracle Gro potting mix and bottled water. Bottled water, I don't believe, means the ph is automatically correct? Miracle Gro is something I'm not opposed to using. I used the "all purpose plant food" for my entire veg on my last grow and I was not at all unhappy with the results. However, by using Miracle Gro potting soil, I would think that is just like giving nutes to your girls right from seed because they put a ton of stuff in that... something that doesn't appear to be what we should be doing with week old seedlings. After only a week or so, it can't be too many things that are wrong?? My humble "guess" would be your problem is ph or the MG. ph is easily adjusted.. if it's the potting mix....I don't know what to tell you except to transplant earlier? Hoping it all works out brother.

 

[Dchannn]

Thank you both, something I will for sure handle as quickly as possible. Have to adjust my water supply and I will hope I can pull her along.

 

[Dchannn]

- I feel so guilty for what I am doing to them, tiny white specs on the leaves. I fear I know the problem. Might be mites

 

[BubbaHoTep]

I tried growing in your everyday, normal Miracle Gro potting soil once. (The stuff in the yellow bag.) Ran into nutrient burn after about a month. That plant ended up going hermie on me. The problem with MG is that most of their blends are designed to feed plants for upwards of 60 days, not something you want with cannabis in my opinion. If you can get your hands on some Fox Farm...either Ocean Forest or Happy Frog, cannabis seems to love it. They will feed your girls for 30 days, so no nutes needed until after that. I know some people mix perlite into the FF stuff, but I use it straight from the bag...and has worked well for me so far. Your seedlings are still small, so it may not be too late to transplant them into soil that isn't quite so "hot". I also just use tap water that sits out for 48 hours+ to let the chlorine burn off. My run-off PH using FFOF and dechlorinated tap is 6.2. Just my 2 cents, and my disclaimer: I'm by no means an expert, just trying to help if I can.

Edit: Just saw your above post. If it is spider mites or similar, I've heard that neem oil takes care of them handily. It's also organic, so no chemicals touch your ladies.

 

[Dchannn]

Alright guys, just transplanted both ladies into FFOF, got my tab water in her . I hope this will help, but if not I always have a few more seeds and soil .

Everything gon be Irie

 

[nivek]

good luck, i sure hope it's not mites. do you have a loupe or strong magnifying glass? mites are tough to get rid of, not that i have ever had em, but i would say the smaller the plant the easier to eradicate,, if me, i would be on that like ticks on a dog,, cheers, good luck

good of you to take the soil advice

 

[Dchannn]

I have some organic pest spray Nivek, I am literally waiting for my plants leaves to dry as I write this. Then I will apply the insect remover.
Can u see the tiny white specs all over the Kabala?

 

[nivek]

no, i can't see anything in the pic,, but the leaves sure look like that might be a problem. just basing that on my tomato plant experience,, go easy with the spray, and i might suggest, that spray must land on the bugs to kill them, if it is what i think, so, spray, leave for a minute or so, then spray with clean water,, even the gentlest and mildest of bug juice can harm the little ones,, karma sent pal, cheers

 

[Dchannn]

I sprayed the under and top side of the plants... Then sprayed with a water mist rinse. So we shall see.

I would be very happy if my girls pull through for me.
