Lemon Kush Mini Experiment - My Attempt At A Canna-Bonsai

She's been in the tent under the corner of the 1000 HPS 12/12 for a week now. I think she's looking female.

Her feeding today was 650/5.7 in and 500/6.2 out. The PPM is good, I think, but idk if the pH is ok?

My stubbornness is the only thing keeping me interested in this scraggly little thing.... well that and her gorgeous scent! .

You should definitely test your ph! Also buy a lux meter to help you place your light to a better height. I ve found that when feeding is ok but plant is not, it s often cause of bad ph which prevent the plant to absorb some vital nutrients

I did test pH... it was 5.7 in and 6.2 out. Is it normal for it to be higher coming out?

I do know she's lower than ideal but she's in a tent with two clones and there's a scrog covering the entire area. I'm hesitant to rise her into the tent until I'm sure she's a she.
 
pH in should be in the 6.3-6.7 range. It's too low going in which means the plant can't access all the nutrients in the water you're feeding it. Bump up the pH to 6.5 and see how it responds.

But I thought coco needed lower pH? It has been going in at 6.5 but I lowered it today because she still seems not quite right.
 
Oh, coco, right. 5.8-6.0 I'd say. Not sure why you wouldn't raise it up until you determine the sex. If it turns out to be a girl all you've done is slowed down the growth.

I've raised her up to the net (yes, I can see I should have done this from the start) and removed extra growth. She's coming along nicely, tho still looks stunted.

Remember when stunted was the whole idea!

Ahhh yes.... be careful what you wish for .
She's not just small but her leaves seem weirdly scrawny. Not really surprising, given all the abuse she got. It's amazing she's flowering at all .

MadDab had his weird plant Abbie which looked like it had mosaic virus in veg but flowered beautifully!
 
Weird leaves or not, it looks pretty pistily!
 
GreenThunder said:
She's pretty much all pistils! Hopefully she'll bulk up a bit, I'm just surprised she's still alive

Since she's so strange looking, I would hit her hard with flower nutes and see how she responds.

We did just recently increase the flower nutes and adding a bit of Big Bud. Trying to be gentle with the nutes because she's so fragile. Well, that's not quite the right word as she's survived so much!

Well, the other plants look like they're doing so well I would take a chance on this one and see how far I could push. That's just me of course :).
