Malawi And Golden Tiger Tent Grow

Ayye, I see a few that are from Canada, I grew up just north of Detroit - went to Windsor a lot in my teens. O Canada ! 🍻 I saw the Red Wings last game at Maple Leaf Gardens before they tore it down - good times
Maple leaf Gardens was my haunt. :thumb:
Grew up in Toronto.
Rush, Black Sabbath , Genesis , some great concerts back in the day.
Glad you got to see it before the demolition.
Canada has the best neighbors. ;)

Hi everyone, quick question for you all if you do not mind...what do you think this could be a sign of ? Light stress?

There are only about 4 to 5 leaves that are affected on this 1 plant - no other signs of this anywhere
EDIT: I get my light diffuser for Photone on Saturday - Customs delayed it by 5 days 👍

Do you use calmag in your feed water?
Could be light but looks similar to a cal def?

I use Cal-Mg but at 1/2 strength - I'll bump it up tomorrow :thumb: thanks !
I'm going to start mixing into 0PPM distilled water as opposed to tap, our tap comes out at about 300 PPM...this will give me more room for the Cal-mg increase - I don't want to go much above 1000 PPM, I've hit 1150- 1200 once last week, and then backed down to 800-900 the last feeding.

If you are able I'd reduce nitrogen in your flowering mixture.
I prefer minimal nitrogen in flower.
They still need it just not in massive quantities like P&K.
Your girls are dark green and show signs of N toxicity and curl. :Namaste:
Just 2 cents they look great.
But I'd increase calcium reduce nitrogen slightly and feed 1200 ppm without a worry.
I'm feeding between 1200 to 1500 ppm week 5 of flower.
Here is your girls with the issue I mentioned :Namaste::Namaste:

Just 2 cents, your garden is awesome. :yahoo:

@gwhunran - hey man, about what week did you kick that 2nd tier netting for your Golden Tiger SCROG? I'm prepping to do that in the next few weeks..I'm @ Week 6, day 37 of flowering - I think I'm done bending and tying down ... just checking my calibration to see if any adjustments need to be made - thank you sir !
I've looked a little at your journal, just to get an idea of where your at. :) I had a little trouble getting my nutes right with the GT. I had two different phenos with the three plants. According to Dubi at ACE, one was a Malawi Killer pheno and the other two were Thai phenos.
My plants overall had weak limbs that wanted to just lay down rather stand up straight toward the light. If I would have known ahead of time they were going to flop with little weight on them, I would have put my 2nd screen closer to the first, so I could have pulled them upright and tied them to the 2nds screen. Your plants stems may be stronger and hold up the weight of fattening buds better than mine. :hmmmm:
Some of my errors can be attributed to being very ill. 🙄 I had to have surgery right in the middle of the grow, and didn't train them during that critical time. 🙄
My buds also required over 6 months to cure out and were better at 9 months than at six, so be patient with the cure.🤠

I'm following your grow now. :) Good luck, mine were finicky.:cheesygrinsmiley::bong:
 
Hi man, thanks!!!
I am pretty sure those curls are from a different plant, the one that 2-3 weeks ago I was asking about, she stretched all over !! This was before I started to measure light PPFD, I was running the HLG at 100% for a few days without knowing that it kicks out about 2000PPFD at the distance I had it, I have it now at about 80% or 900PPFd. those curls are from the original Golden Tiger I asked about 2 weeks ago - I thought it was Nitrogen but it ended up being light as the new growth (on that plant) above those curls are all nice looking cola formations, I will show the recovery in the next post. The GH MaxiBloom only has 5-15-14; I do not know how I would reduce N in my lineup ... I can try if you tell me how to :)

Sorry I was over concerned. :Namaste:
If it’s a 1 part nutrient it’s not possible.
If the plant is ok just feed as usual.
With calmag in your plain water first.
My mistake :Namaste::Namaste:

Hey no worries man ... I appreciate the guidance !!

the CaliMagic does say 1-0-0 ... could this be a factor?
1726774219225.png
... if I see curl on any other plants other than the light stressed leaves I'm already familiar with..I will try removing the CaliMagic and replacing with Calmg+ General Organics CaMg+ which says nothing as far as N-P-K ... thoughts ?
0-0-0 is best if you have it already.
But 1-0-0 isn't bad at all really.

Thanks! & wow man 9 month cure..did you journal that ? I feel like the post-harvest skills are my weakest...my growmie "The Dude" has a wine cellar and his cures are always really nice. This time around I am going to use my tent and controller to do it right - I'd love some curing tips and known-good recipes if they are out there

About a week to 10 days to dry, then put it grove bags and leave it. :) I don't think it hurts it to open the bags and check them, but it's not necessary. Most strains are pretty well cured after 6 weeks to 3 months. 🤠

I put in the 2nd screen today - :thumb:

I am pretty sure I figured out what I had done wrong to cause the Cal def that was presenting in the 1 Malawi ... I used distilled water + Maxibloom and no additional cal-mg ... my water here comes in at about 350 PPM, 300 of which is calcium, so when I used tap + my 1 part, all good, but when I didn't, ....

Hello !!

I have tried to put a bunch of the curing knowledge - that I have found, into an excel/pdf...maybe something like this exists? if not, I hope it can contribute to the community. I need to print out a list/recipe and go by the numbers, because I have ADD, OCD, and PTSD , if I don't, I'll get lost !!

Thank you for all that you have contributed and helped so many - it is absolutely incredible this community
:)

Tword the end there is an entire section on Harvest and Curing.
Probably bud washing too but I could be wrong.
Everything you need to know is in there I'm sure.

thank you man, if I don't spend 2 to 3 weeks reading and prepping for the post harvest, I'll mess something up !
That's why we are here, to prevent that.
But preparation is the key to any successful operation. :thumb:
