Candy Canna Multi-Strain In Candyland

[MrSauga]

I'm sorry things are not going well right now Candy. From the insurance company down to the SSH.

Well the SSH didn't like the changes and she's showing a Ca def. A reset is definitely the smartest action at this point. Check the EC of runoff when the water first comes out if you can and at the end before your add you nute mix. Theoretically the numbers should be quite high at the beginning from the buildup of salt.

You'll have to come back with 4.5 or 5g's again without the calmag on your final watering.

I'm know you're probably frustrated but try not to be. There's no way to grow a perfect plant every time in a small environment. Too many variables to control in such a confined space leads to challenges all the time. Some plants are sensitive to certain changes in diet or light schedules and all you can do is try and adapt.
I think this is the second or third time for nanners isn't it? If so I'd be starting to wonder why and go over everything from light leaks to stress and see if there's a common denominator.

You're growing skills are a plenty so don't get down on yourself. My last run sucked and it's gonna screw me over so I'll have to find other resources. I was bothered by it too but realized that things don't go the way I want them to all the time. I won't let the plant beat me though so I'm making sure this round is better.

It is sooo frustrating when you know you know what you're doing, but the plants just refuse to be happy...
How can a weed that grows well in adverse conditions be so damn contrary when it's getting the v.i.p. treatment?
As Mr.S. says - rinse out all the old stuff, give em a fresh start, and maybe they'll start to show you a little appreciation...
But... Although there's some ugly(ish) leaves, the buds are still looking damn good!

I ran out of time to be able to rinse her today as it’s about lights out time but should I wait until she’s dry enough again in a couple of days or do it anyway tomorrow ? I won’t be able to check the EC as I lost my meter a few months ago I didn’t order another one because I hadn’t needed it but I should have listened to my own advice of “ better to have it and not need it then need it and not have it”. Any thoughts on those specs on the ST leaves?

Thank you! Sometimes it’s easy to be hard on yourself when things go awry and it is stressful but you’re also absolutely right it’s just part of it. I’ve been trying to run through what could be causing any nanner situation..I did have my husband and then my daughter a few days after zip me in the tent with all the equipment running (except the light) for about 10 mins before this run to check for any light leakage and it was pitch black and very creepy. I’ve been within VPD. The only thing I can think of this time regarding the Candyland at least was maybe the light being too bright for her at first before I dimmed it a lil more..Last nanner I had tho the light was dimmer and she showed no signs of light stress but thankfully that was in very late flower. The one before that was last year when I had the heat issue and was out of the VPD scale and did have a light leak (When you jumped in and helped me for the very first time get my environment in order)I’ll keep trying to figure out what’s going on as there’s definitely something I must be missing.. I’ll definitely be working at getting my groove back with these gals as I want to keep growing as a grower and not regress. Thank you again for all your help and your kind words!

Right?!?

Thank you and that’s exactly what I’m gonna do and hope for!

But... Although there's some ugly(ish) leaves, the buds are still looking damn good!

I and they definitely appreciate the kind words

insurance denied my spinal cord stimulator so that didn’t get done

FFS! OMG WTF?!

♡ They will be the first against the wall when the revolution comes.
♥ Not that that helps.

Thank you bubba! I’m hoping the appeal from the doctor will help but I have no idea how long the process will take or if it will even do any good. But at least they are trying to appeal it...

Sooner would be better than later. It's not going to matter if the pots are wet already as you're gonna be juicing her up pretty good anyhow. Whenever you're ready.

The ST has a Ca def. The margins are turning up and rusty color and all the speckling is a good sign of that. The calmag should have cleared that up so there's probably a lockout going on her too. You may have to reset that one and come back with the same nutes as the SSH and no calmag. You can try upping the MC to 6g with no calmag and see if that clears her up but excessive P is really the only thing that would cause a Ca issue from an overfeed perspective, so if the Ca is blocked from excessive P it could get worse.

 

[MrSauga]

Is that ST pumping out nanners too? I swear it looks like one on those first bunch of pics. What a funky plant that is.

Thank you!! I’ll rinse them both tomorrow and start with I reckon 5.5gr/g and see if that does anything. Over feeding has been my main fear so I underfed now somehow I’ve overfed again. I do feed to runoff every time but maybe there was still some buildup in there? I did the slurry on SSH and she was 5.9PH so that’s good at least.

I was wondering the same thing. I didn’t see anything that was for sure nanners but my eyes are crap anymore ..that’s another reason I try to get close ups on the pics because I’ve been questioning her from the start of her weird flowering. There was a bud of interest and that’s the one I was wondering about and I’m sure it’s what you’re talking about. I’ll take some better pics in the morning of the same area and see. I really friggin hope not but it wouldn’t surprise me at this point. Thank you again!!

Highya doll.
Your Tangie almost looks like it has whorled phyllotaxy. Is she putting out three leaves per node? It's hard to tell from pics. May explain why her buds look a bit funky.

Haven't been around much myself. Was hoping to catch up and hear some good news on the pain front.
Really sorry you were denied and hope that it is appealed soon.

Hey sweets! Yeah she’s an oddball.. I’ll try and get some better pics tomorrow morning that may help shed some light on her. Also hoping for a fast and approved appeal and thank you! I hope all is well with you and yours Tryin to make some rounds on journals!

You did not overfeed. They are just being picky and finicky and little b's right now. You made the adjustments as suggested and normally that would have corrected them. Going back to basics of 5 or 5.5g of MC after reset may give a better idea of what to do next if anything.
Have a good day Candy.

Hi CC! I’m sorry to hear you’re having stupid insurance issues. I’ll join the rest of the group hoping for fast and better decisions from them this time. Jerks.

VG and I have said it to each other a couple times when we’ve run into issues after flip, I really feel like a flush and feed (or reset, whatever you want to call) is a good idea when we switch to bloom with MC. Then they go and change the formulas on us, so who knows anymore. Hopefully when you’re up to it, that will help sort things out.

Sending you loves CC

And yes they are! I’ve rinsed SSH so far with 8 gallons of RO water then followed with 1 gallon of 5.5gr/g MC. I have some pics of ST that I want to put up before I waste any water on her. I THINK I saw a nanner but I’m not 100% because I had to catch it with a microscope it will be in the first photo I put up so hopefully someone can see it well enough to say yay or nay. Also noted that she has several hairs that’s are already brown on day 28 of 12/12..seems pretty early right? Also she is crazy frosty which should be a good thing but I dunno just a bit of a ball of anxiety at the moment so I’ll just put up the photos in a minute and stop talking. Thank you again!!

On the health sentiments, love and for the information on the garden end!Much love back to ya! Does seem like they keep switching stuff on us! Just trying to keep people on their toes I suppose..

I didn’t see any except maybe that one with your finger in the pic. It was too blurry for me to tell for sure though. What a funky little weirdo that ST is!
