current state of affairs at fort st veg/clone
crowded and over grown. plan was to have them moved to the flower room a little over 6 wks ago. the troubles began about 2-3 wks before that.
these are all clones. there is 3 cbdream, 3 black indica, one white cookie, and one master kush. i'm 2 plants over what i had originally planned as the max for this run.
everyone paled, got problems, and generally looked miserable a couple weeks into attacking the mites. by the time i turned my attention fully to the gnats the plants were in trouble.
indication of more than just one issue...
some of the worst looking plants i ever had. began losing fan leaves that i never should have. they been taking it hard.
everything looked deficient and hungry - but my ppm was ramped higher than i've ever had it
after i ran the extreme h202 flush i reset the nutes, and dropped the ppm. the plants have regained piles of color and are looking better. the pics under the cobs make them look a bit more pale than they are. i turned the cobs down a bit to try counter the effect.
you can see the new growth coming stronger against the old starving leaves, even tho the ppm i feed dropped. note the browned edges on the older leaves. this is damage caused during the iso / neem treatment. the damage may not have occurred if other issues weren't brewing at the same time.
the addition of the h202 is certainly attacking what i feel is a root rot issue. i believe the root rot gave the gnats the environment they needed to gain entry, and starved the plants at the same time.
this white cookie elects to look starved all the time. it's super touchy tho and burns instantly there is anything it hates.
it's been very resistant to the pests even while it looks awful. it's coming off the menu after this run for a bit. i don't tailor feeds for just a plant or two, and it's off schedule in flower as well. it's in the bank, so i may go to seed for an individual run in the future.
at the opposite end of the scale is the master kush tucked way back in the corner here. it's a light feeder but seems happy no matter. it looked great before the trouble. it's a gift clone i converted from soil and may have brought, or contributed, to the issues.
it clawed pretty hard after the heavy h202 treatment but has been working it's way back. it weathered the mite and gnat problem better than the others so far even tho it had both worse. it wants a bit lighter feed than it gets as well. it is indifferent to N, while all the others are screaming for it.
the plan is to hold that one back, clone it out, and do the next run with just master kush alone. thinking of scrogging it.
this run was supposed to be a no or minimal defoliation run, but i wound up both defoliating and lollipopping. i did both since they over grew while i've been trying to clear them, and to reduce the number of sites where the pests could hide. not sure i would advise to go as far as did while plants are under that much stress already.
i am really hoping the multi-pronged approach pays off. i don't want to lose this grow and need to get it back on the rails. the no pest strip might just give me the edge i was missing against the fliers.
