Candy Canna Multi-Strain In Candyland

I grab one for you he just getting started on a batch of edibles
 
One quick thing I forgot to mention before - and this is 100% personal preference - I feel like there is a difference in the infused butter’s consistency when I bake with it. I like to have a strong butter and then use half regular, half infused in the recipe. For me, it makes it more like the regular baked goodie I’m used to. Looking forward to seeing what you whip up!
 
If you're using RO water, you may need to add a little cal-mag to the feed-
To me, it looks like a mag problem more than a cal problem...but I'm definitely not an expert on this kind of thing... @MrSauga is though-maybe he'll take a peek at it for you....
I agree it does look like a Mg def.

she is on 4gr/g MC and is on day 38. My guess was needing more calcium and was thinking of bumping up to 4.5gr/g
Sorry Candy... this thread got tucked away and I missed the tag from carcass.
4.5g seems a little high for the plant right now. I'm guessing that the Mg def is related to too much N, P and K at this point. You can reduce back to 3.5g for a feeding or two and see if things improve. You may consider a rinse first and come back with 3.5g/gal at the end.
 
That just gave me some motivation B! I’ll bet it’s gonna be beautiful! :D Makes me want to go out and work in the yard a bit, but I don’t have all the needed supplies on what I wanna do so I’ll just settle for getting into the flower room and get it all cleaned up. It’s been a slow goin day so far, just finished making some Jack Herer canna fudge brownies. First time ever making any edibles so I reckon I’ll see how that goes.:smokin2:
Hope the motivation got you as far as it got me! :laughtwo:
spent the entire day working out front. Moved all the gravel, wheel barrowed dirt from the back garden to where the gravel was... put seed down, raked my front lawn, and cleaned up the rest of the leaves that were missed last fall. Got my Christmas lights down (lol guilty for having them up still). While my daughter was hot on my heels! She loves her daddy!!:cheesygrinsmiley: (<—that’s me)

Thank you for stopping by and helping lead me in the right direction and apology not necessary!! I bumped her up to 4gr/g originally because she was already showing some rust on her bottoms at 3gr/g back on 4/3/20. So was 3g to high before and I should have went down instead of up? She looks very young and small she slowed down quite a bit when she was topped the first time, (from 5 nodes to 3) and had her bottom 2 nodes removed, she just started picking back up with growth recently after her final topping. She’s actually 45 days old so I thought extended veg dose would be ok since she was starting the rust again but I thought wrong. I did just noticed looking her over real good again that she has one leaf up top the has some rust starting on the edges. I gave her one feed at 4.5gr/g 2 days ago. So in summation I need to do a reset and drop her to 3.5gr/g? Here’s a recent pic

Thank you! Any tips and tricks are mucho appreciated! :love:

Thank you West! Very much appreciated! :green_heart:

:laughtwo: Awesomeness! I got some laundry done, house picked up, dishes etc..most of the flower room is done(still working on it just took a quick hiatus) and fed two of the girls.

I do believe so. This could be a tough one to get right because you mentioned she looked like a mutant so maybe she has some genetic things going on too. Some plants will be light feeders and the quickest way to check is by lowering the feed. She'll show signs pretty quick if she doesn't like the lack of food.

If you can I would rinse her. If not just go to 3.5g for now. That last pic looked lke a K def with the browning along the margins so a reset is most likely in order.

I’ll do a reset on her and follow up with the 3.5gr/g and thank you again for all your helps! :green_heart: Tricky tricky girl she is.
 
I think if it was underfed you would see just one sign, such as yellowing of the leaves at first. Since you are showing Mg and K defs it seems to me it's locking out and not lack of feeding. Keep a good eye on her since she may change quickly. You are in Promix now right? I think you also said you are pH'ing out of caution as well, is that correct?

Yes in Promix now, my ph after adding MegaCrop comes out at 5.3 I give the feed 2-3 drops of neutral which puts it at 5.7-5.8. She only had the rust at the bottom when I upped her initially the rust around the edges on the leaf up top just started today. I’ll definitely be keeping a close eye on her.

If it's a Ca def it starts near the top. The K defs start at the bottom then move to the top. Let's see what happens over the next few days.

Thank you! I’m still trying to learn all this and commit it to memory. All the other girls at least are doing good so far without any funkiness going on. She’s been a lil terd for me so far but hopefully this will sort her out.

promix is a "soilless" soil. your ph will be a bit low. would start at 6.3 - 6.5






the tipping and leaf edging is a def and not an excess.. had exactly the same thing going on in my hempy grow. mc shows a def on mature veg plants hitting around the 4 - 5 gr mark, it 's a sign they want to get flipped, or are ready for the next increase.
 
I’m quite confused at the moment. I went by what I had read early on and initially had thought there was no need to PH in Promix HP. I thought I had posted one of these but realized looking back I hadn’t . My RO with DI comes out at 5.8 after I add MC it goes to 5.4. I PH’d up to 5.8-5.9 because of what I read on their site and the video I watched. Maybe I misunderstood what I read ? Highly possible as my brain hasn’t been cooperating with me of the late. But this is what I was trying to go by in pics below.

I do very much appreciate all of the help and just want to make sure I’m heading in the right direction with all this. So far the other 5 girls are looking the correct shade of green and aren’t showing any signs of excess or deficiency and are growing at the normal veg speed but I know that can change on a dime if I’m not doing it correctly. I don’t use my tap because it’s very high with PPM well over 400 and it’s very hard water PH 8.3-84 so I’d be on the other end of the spectrum. If my RO water starts at 5.8 that’s above the recommended 5.5 is that in range to be safe? I’m super grateful just confused is all and appreciate all the input. Getting feedback is how people’s learn. :love:
 
relax candy.

you're on mc. the actual ph nutrient availability range is a bit wider than a lot of other bottle nutes.

the ph guidelines still apply. just not as strict. it's best to stay within as a general rule.

Thank you Bluter that’s all I was tryna do :green_heart:
 
Well I'll add to the confusion Candy. You do not have to pH Promix, or any other buffered medium. You could pH at 4.0 and your medium will still buffer accordingly.
The article you posted states the same. It talks about the pH in the medium and not the pH of the nutes. Water akalinity plays a big part in it.
You can always do a slurry test to verify the pH levels in the media.

Plants don't use a lot of K during veg state, so to see a def at that stage is a sign of a lockout. Could be the strength of the nutes or the pH of the media.

Thank you and I do understand that I guess in my mind to make myself feel better if I put the similar PH water/fertilizer in the medium it would help keep the medium it in that range. I only originally thought with the rust on her that she was deficient because of the low level that I was at and was following the guidelines of the dosing and being that I use RO water/LEDS and with the past grows early on have had issues with calcium/Mag deficiency that increasing was the right thing to do. I also understand that if I over feed the leftover nutes that they don’t use can throw things off as well which is another reason I try to stay within the perimeters. I’m hoping with the reset and decrease in her feed strength she gets sorted out. I don’t always explain myself or what’s in my brain very well of the late and with the distractions I keep getting while posting this I’m sure I’m leaving things out again. Thank you for all the help as I do very much appreciate all of it.
