Some Old Guy's Soil Grows

[SoGnotSOG321]

Ok, so I checked my DIY calmag with my trusty EC/Ppm wizard stick. EC was 2230. Ppm was 1130. PH 9.2.
I added some distilled vinegar to bring the ph down to 6.8. When I added two fluid ounces to a gallon the other day I checked the ph and it was 7 after, before it measured 6.5. I didn't bother to check the EC/Ppm but I imagine if I had it would've shown me that it was to hot a mix. My normal nutes are 310ppm and 610ec.
Pretty sure quadrupling those numbers was the issue, and the discoloring hasn't climbed any higher and some of the leaves lower down are losing the yellowish color going back to green.

I removed all the clips holding it down last night and boy she decided to get up! Its taller than it's been since I started the training. The pot has been steadily getting lighter before scheduled saturation by about a day. I started at 5 days now its 4 and it sucked up and held a whole gallon of water this time. I made a molasses DIY mix with a teaspoon to a gallon and I plan to add some on the next saturation. They are in flowering mode and I wonder if they need 18 hours of lighting now being autos the debate continues as there are calculations that will tell me exactly what is what..for photo period plants.

Looks droopy, like it's either too wet or too dry. Tons of bud sites though!

If you have a lux meter you can figure the DLI for your lights, and that will tell you exactly how many hours of light they should be getting. Without a meter, 18/6 is a good general light schedule for vegging photos and flowering autos.

I'm not sure what the debate is.

 

[SoGnotSOG321]

Oh it's my own debate really, I see pistols on the autoflower plants and my instinct from past photos is switch to 12/12. Thanks for the advice man, I have to get used to these and always learning makes it feel like I'm getting it done the right way.
I did cut back to 12/12 on my WW when they were about finished, so I could just leave them on 18/6 to finish?

 

[SoGnotSOG321]

Oh the drooping is where I was tucking down leaves, its springing back out since I took the clips off but they are already trained/bent down to get all those bud sites up from the lower branches. Most of the tips are even from where I had the main top pulled down below everything else to get those hormones going to other sites and it paid off so much.

Absolutely! More light = bigger buds (up to the point of diminishing returns ). People with lower powered lights should probably run them 24/0. It's one of the reasons that folks with lower wattage lights would get a better harvest with autos than photos. The plants may not hit their DLI in 12 hours.

Gotcha!

I think that harshness comes from rushing the grow. Shhh ok I dont have any proof but my stuff is never like harsh. You can pull a big hit and it's just mellow af. The oil made me cough a bit but not like dispensary crap. I took a couple hits off that last night and got knocked out for bed. I still cant sleep for long but its easier to fall back asleep for the short periods I can and it's more restful. My spasm condition continues but I cant afford my gabapentin script that helped with that. I dont think WW was a better neurological relief strain as it is mainly sativa. Of course my injury is permanent drain bamage apple cinnamon toaster frog..

I’m glad you have had success with gabapentin I’m on it for an entirely different reason(detox from Klonopin abuse) I have horrible lower back spasms and it hasn’t helped with that at all. Only thing to give me relief is ak47 lol. But I’m in the same boat with paying for it can’t afford it defiantly isn’t as cheap as Klonopin was.

That's a heavy duty relaxer Kpin Gabapentin helped a bit but not as much as canna. I am not cured of any injuries by it but it helps to relieve the symptoms (spasms) much better and the side effects of pharma isn't great enough for me to go pay for the pleasure of having them.

Yea gabapentin by me is like 400 for a month. Kpins are 19$ for 90 of them lol. Yea I was no good man averaged 7 a day growing canna has really helped with my relaxation though and it’s one of my first thought when I wake up in the morning on how she is looking

 

[SoGnotSOG321]

10 years ago gabapentin was one of the cheapest things you could get, the VA handed them out like Fkn Pez candy REFILL packs lol For me unless it was a 900mg it didn't reduce the amount or frequency it only dulled the spasm strength. I cant say it didn't help my back, ruptured disks, but still the side effects..no Fk that, thank you very little.
I'm glad the ranks of those receiving benefits continue to grow. Listen, I made my version of green dragon, and mixed it with some curel lotion. Just a couple drops in a half teaspoon of lotion. I use that a couple times a day, a dab on my index finger, at the base of my neck, just that finger rub it all in.
I only used 8 grams of decarbed uncured larf and 4oz of Evrclear, I let it reduce down open for a few days evaporating till I had one oz of it concentrated. A few drops sublingual, with the lotion and I feel the sharp chronic agony slip away, you'll have to experience it but the entourage effects of this plant are amazing.

Seems I've run into a wall with my humidifier. The airs too cool in my basement to hold any moisture. My grow is a sealed off 5x10, I mean it's not a BSL4 lab environment with absolute control but its pretty good..maybe. I'm going back to my swamp cooler that's 25 watts less power and kept it above 50% at least avg. I guess the upwards tip last week was because it was warmer and the heat wasn't running. Here's the LST and FIM today, they are rebounding.

The fim has some light penetrating but the LST is dark down der lol

If you need heat and moisture get yourself a $15 vicks vaporizer! It's steam and will raise the RH to 100% if you leave it on too long.

 

[SoGnotSOG321]

I'm at a loss with this one plant

It has a twin plant in the same pot that's fine, a tad smaller but none of the symptoms

This is necrotizing right? Theres a few other leaves with these spots and the lower leaves are still fading yellow but still hanging on the stalk strong. It isnt from water spots, to symmetrical and spreading from the tips all back along the saw tips.
It doesn't make much sense when there are two separate plants to the same pot, one is fine the other is..sick? I have scanned the leaves with my googly magnifying headset and seen no bugs..perhaps the tap root still has some of that calmag I gave it clogging it up? And the smaller one just hasn't gotten down to it? Idfk all the other plants are doing fine and even with the discoloring the plant is growing it's almost 2 feet tall and the tallest one by at least 6 inches (I bet it's a fkn male) so it's closer to the lights but its lower down where the damage is occurring.
Tots anyone?

Yellowing from the bottom up tends to be nitrogen deficiency. Brown spots with yellowing between the veins is a sign of magnesium deficiency.

Exactly, I cant explain how it's just the one plant right? I double seeded these pots and there's two and I swear I just found a couple hairs on the yellowing one. Tomorrow is saturation scheduled day so I'll give it some extra little bit of juice and throw a little epsom salt on top a 1/4 teaspoon shouldn't be to much for a 5 gallon fabric pot.
Today I saturated the LST and FIM and gave both some Tiger Bloom. I added some to the Skywalker as well, its really stunted but bulking up getting used to the bigger pot after a couple weeks. I removed that humidifier I picked up, it couldn't keep up with a simple swamp cooler setup that a smarter friend recommended
What I find really interesting is the temperature holds steady just from the lights running so at night when they are off I worry because it's a lot cooler in the basement so there's a little space heater in there keeping it about 65, swamp cooler is off at night.

 

[InTheShed]

65º is a pretty good floor for temps, so that's working out. Below that and there can be a slowdown in nutrient uptake, particularly magnesium.

NLD and WLD is good to know that. Since these are hybrid autos with both sativa and indica I cant let them get cold at all or that springy sativa genetics gets stuck I guess.
When I did commando grows there was never any training, top every other plant that's female once then leave it the F alone. All my old indoor photo grows I did the same thing except topping, I always let the tops alone and used below branches for clones.

I have a serious problem

I cant get enough weed in my bowl so I'm growing more!

Made a purchase today and got with the program. MC ferts Jack's deadbug calmag and declorinizer. I see my BBs going light green and moving to quickly into flowering but starving. I'll have to use MG for now, I really cut back on that this grow, maybe it's good enough.

 

[SoGnotSOG321]

I'm not sure this is a bad sign of things to come.

Maybe I'm just tripping balls..or will be lol!

The bag bean photos are responding to the extra MG (I know I know, I have the MC coming) to help the yellowing and spots. They popped up at least a couple inches overnight. The slow roll of the problem showing and then fixing it, is no area for people without the ability to have a panic attack and keep going. It's taken me 40+ years to still have trouble with it after getting back on this grind inside.

The auto BBs are trying to fade on me, I know they are in flower but I'm giving them MG and TB from FF a couple ozs every day. Until I see some nutrient burn, which I dont have on these..yet. part of my order comes this week which doesn't include the MC, next week. These are 70 days old and stretching a bit but still bushy and squat. I have another auto Skywalker that's flowering and I just noticed this..

Trics are not for kids lol love seeing that first "frost" amirite?

 

[InTheShed]

Looks like the start of frost to me! And if your soil isn't damp then don't worry about the mushrooms, though they tend to be a sign that the soil isn't being given time to dry out. I'd dig them out and toss them as they appear.
