re: BPN Closet Scrog Grow
Ok so i got some good and bad news, ill give you the good news first to soften the blow.
My
Blue Planet Nutrient Elite 3 Gallon Trio came today. Thanks Corey!
The caps were taped shut for no spillage, i remember some one saying their room smelled strong from the nutrients but i don't seem to notice it at all. 3 Gallons should last me a little while! we mixed up a 5gal reservoir with a half strength dose of crazy growth mixture so we gave it 5ml to every gallon (instead of 10:1) that means 25 ml total in the 5 gal reservoir and also approximately 2.5ml of Liquid Bloom Booster. Threw an air stone in it and put the cover over it. we didnt want to feed today because they were already watered and (here comes the bad news) The plants were showing some kind of problem about 2 days ago i didnt know about, but i was just informed today. all the plants seemed to have the lower branches turn brownish and all the leaves sag down so the plants looked like Ti-pee's. We did transplant the plants into different pots less than a week ago so it could be transplant shock. After the transplant i did put a small amount of superthrive in the watering not sure if i put to much in, can you fuck your plants up from giving a tad to much superthrive? heres a picture a leaf that was saved to show the discoloration, i cant tell what it is im not that good at diagnosing plants can any one guess?
I mean we kinda have been stressing them a bit with the topping and transplanting and what not but i think its the transplant shock that caused it not sure. they seem to have recover a bit. one of the plants is still kinda droopy as seen in this pic
but the rest look ok.
In this picture you can see where the lowered dead foliage was
ok and my last main concern is im pretty sure i am seeing early signs of sex on EVERY plant in my tent. There is small white hairs coming from almost every node, some of them have turned brown and withered up. im afraid that they may have gotten tricked into flowering and i don't know how, is it because we took the clones so late to the flowering stage that they thing they should be flowering right now or something? i checked the timer and the lights are still on a 18/6 schedule. I'm a little concerned about this, not sure if you can see the white hairs in the pics but they are their, any one have any thoughts?
We will probably feed the plants within the next week, depending on what happens with them. i hope they are not fucked up ill keep y'all updated!
PS: the more i am thinking about it im wondering if its because i didn't sterilize the pots and drainage rocks before re-potting my plants, there must be some kind of chemical on the pots and/or some chemical or an ABUNDANCE of nutrient in the drainage rock dust. The roots got tampred and with and probably damaged alot because i tried to shake alot of the old soil out of the rootball. Just a thought.....
