I've cut back to ,5 per gallon on most of my strains in the hopes it may help. I was going 1.5-2 per gallon before. I'm wondering if it has something to do with the amount of foliars I use because of hitting them with leaf wash every time they get watered. They don't start showing until later flower and I stop the leaf wash once they start getting their cats, so they aren't even getting it at that point. I'm stumped.
I'm only seeing the issue crop up around the 4th to 6th week in flower and it seems to be more pronounced on the sativas. Its past the stretch phase, so the only new growth is in the flowers and sugar leaves.
I was hitting my plants with way ahead x10 every other week, which adds magnesium. That's when I first started seeing it. I stopped that practice and only hit my plants once with it this cycle which is what they actually should be getting if they need extra. They are still looking the same. I'm not seeing any leaf curl either, which I thought was one of the main symptoms of magnesium deficiency.
Thanks. I was trying to do it with just the vice grips and couldn't get anything. I'm seeing fluctuations with the petiole juice that reflect the health. Its just way higher than I expected.
I don't remember what brand mine is. It comes with its own little case and I maybe paid $20 for it. You don't need anything fancy, just Google refractometer. Several inexpensive ones should show up.Hey @neiko and Morglie, is there a particular brand of refractomer that you would recommend? Not the most expensive, but something that works and doesn’t cost the moon?
Thanks. I felt like it was time to try one of these wild ones. I'm starting to feel comfortable with the normal plants now and wanted to push my boundaries.You'll be right mate, I have faith in your growing skills
I get you though, these Malawi I have are the most landracey plant I've grown to date and from what I've been told things will get out of hand fast. Makes for more exciting/stressful growing
That's the idea. I want the challenge to keep things interesting.Just grow plants that are too big like me if you want to push your boundaries
Probably not go that big again aye hahaha
Its not so much the size as the fact that they are unwieldy in my room when I get several totes packed in there. The 5 gallon buckets are easier to move around when I need to get to the back plants.I agree, it's boring enough watching them grow sometimes, gotta do something to help keep it fun
Goisus no wonder they were getting so messy, that's 64.3L per pot
Looking forward to your next update mate!
The lower foliage is looking ok on the Kerala. She looks to have the steam to go that long. It's just some of the skinny leaves in the buds that are dropping up. I don't think it's nute burn. I've been giving her half the drench as I normally do, and I've been going two plain waters in between each drench. The copper leaf edges is an issue I'm having with several plants. Its not been to bad though.Damn that Kerala is just going and going ain't it? I looked up the rusted leaf edges and i think it might be either severe nute burn, copper def or root problems. I would put my bets on nute burn but I don't know for sure.
Hopefully you can sought it out before the Kerala has next to no leaves left
What does your malawi smell like? The MalawixPCK sounds delicious, blueberry muffins? Sign me up haha
I forgot to ask how the Kerala is smelling if she is producing any smell that you can pinpoint at this point in time?
Thanks for the kind words. The Kerala still isn't putting out any noticable smell. Hopefully that changes. She's still fairly early, but I was expecting something by now.Hmmm well what ever it is if it's not that bad it's not that much of an issue right now you're right
Damn that sounds mighty tasty, I love all those flavors so sounds great to me
I still remember the Blueberry crosses I grew out a few years back. That blueberry taste is just so sweet and delicious, makes you think you're actually eating the real thing haha!
Man seeing all these flowers just makes me want mine to grow faster. Enjoy mate
