Squiggle Is Testing The Sylstar GL4000a: Multi Strain Grow, In A Brand New Set Up!

:laugh: Nah, I had a nice afternoon sleep like a baby :) so that's me for the night now.

I've got a top of the line Charlie dimmock one from the pound shop, only the best. :thumb:
Night owl! Was your afternoon sleep cannabis related:laugh:
Since we've ran out of herbal medication, I cant sleep. My mind is thinking of a million things at once..

Ahhh! The good old pound shop. What would we do without them. Saying that, 99% of the stuff is crap. Just got some headphones from there yesterday and it sounds like an old tin can and string telephone, like we used as kids.. watching you tube and it sounds like everyone is talking through a kazooo, but for a quid what do you expect

I think I will buy Charlie's can..it may save me a load of Hassel in the long run.
Like you said. I havent got much wiggle room when mixing small batches.
 
:lot-o-toke:

Why is that word so funny, just had me giggling like a teenager.

I'm gonna try and get some sleep now, I'll have a dream about Charlies kazoo being on sale down the pound shop.
Night squig.
:high-five::passitleft:
Good night mate.

And yeah! Something about that word :laugh:
 
Just did a bit googlerating and found this

Burnt and white tips and fading of colour at the edges all at the same time, pointing towards potassium deficiency. Exactly what's going on with the SD.
So, would it harm to hit them with potassium at the same time as cal mag on Mondays feed?
Just I would have to wait another 4 days before I could try anything else.
Going with my gut :laugh: I would say feck it and yeah. Hit them from both Angles...

Morning squig.
Yeah,imo it's the calcium or potassium, don't think it's light burn as it's top and bottom.
 
Hi Squig - my plants usually get a shot of just CaMg +PK as a booster at some point in any event with no problems
You'll never know which did the job though for future reference but as you say there is an element of 'JFDI'
(Just Fing Do It) :cool:

Afternoon lister. It can't be the light really as it's on leaves that aren't getting any light now..
Its going to get a shot of both. Thanks for your input , really appreciate it

Im Gona JFDI it :laugh: as the doctor pepper advert says "what's the worst that happen?"
Actually, that's not a good reference to anything, because the worst, is fekin up my plant even more..
It's reassuring that you do the same..

I've never let plants get this big before so it's all new to me. Normally they are flipped at 30 days and I've haven't had much of an issue with them.
But, it's all part of the learning process I suppose.
Thank you also for helping out. Muchos grassyarse
 
Hello!

IMO the new growth/oldest tips start turning more lighter green when they get closer to mature.
Dont know about the burnt leaf tips tho. Nice diary anyway
 
Maybe just the pK seems like she is good for Mag with her being such a dark green colour mostly thats my half a cent.

:) :thumb:
Thanks mate. It's getting written down in the book. You just can't have too much information.. my hat is off to these growers that grow massive, multiple strains.. keeping an eye on each individual plant and keeping them healthy is a skill that requires years of building up knowledge..
Anyway, thanks for popping in mate

It's very slight and barely noticeable. Very hard to captue, but I followed some basic info I got from @Growings on how to set up a Nikon's d3200 and it's working a treat. Cheers mate :thumb:
Anyway, it's only started happening from this morning, but she's going to get hit with the heavy guns also, like we spoke about yesterday.
Oh!!! Can't believe how efficient Jeff is a delivering things. I ordered this last night.

And when I got home from work this afternoon, it was here.
God knows how he does it. Especially with him being busy blasting his ass off into space and that.. he's like a technically advanced Santa Claus. Delivery pressies from the sky.. anyway. Where was i:hmmmm:

Oh! I wanted to feed them tonight, but the pots are still a tad too wet for my liking, they should be good to go by tomorrow afternoon though. They will get a dose of the cal mag and a shot of this.

Oh! Just one more thing before I go. I'm so buzzing with this AC infinity t6.
It's keeping the environment dialled in perfectly.

Makes life a lot easier.
Anyway, I think that's it? Just a little bud shot to finish with.

That's it folks, until tomorrow.
Really appreciate the support I've got of you lot, all the way through this journal.
As always, thank you so much for taking the time to leave a reaction ,read or reply.
Wishing you all the best

Take care

Didn’t find out the source where I read that from… But remember it was some a week-by-week pre-flowering and flowering tutorial with pictures. And it said that when the plants reaches a certain mature the new growth will be slightly lighter green than for example your fan leaves.

Found this out quickly and makes sense with the text I wrote above.
When your plant grows new leaves, they take a little while to fill up with chlorophyll, which is what makes them green.


I remember had a lighter tips on my NL’s aswell when they started to show some early pre-flowering pistils. See img below.
My Northern Lights at day 22 from germination:
(And yes theyre photos not autos, some photos seems to be able to mature in 3 weeks as well :cool:)

See the lightes point of that plant is for sure at the top cola where the pre-flowers are visible. Then comes the rest of the tips; see they having slighty lighter color as well. And so far if youve had read my diary, you may noticed had zero problem with the light green tips which turned into a flowers :—)

And now after your latest update on the thread Im watching your plants and I’d say that looks a pH issue. Have you checked the run-off/moist soil pH values?

Unstable pH value may bring up a weird looking symptoms, which may look like a nutrient excess or defiency (which it is actually)
The plant might have a nutrient lockdown right now. It is not able to absorb the needed nutrients from the soil and nutrient already stored inside the plant may occur as a nutrient excess/burnt

Thanks for that mate. More information thank to write down. Thanks for taking the time. Appreciate it
miss a few days and it's like i'm a chapter's behind in your journal. if i could get away with it squiggles i'd mail a pound of weed to UK for you, hopefully one day.
Hi mate. Sorry for not updating and thanks for the offer. I might book a flight and come and visit you :laugh:
I'm struggling to update or reply to anything on the forum because of this
Screenshot_20210819-194747.jpeg

Only part of the screen is working and it is a mission to wrote anything. This post most have taken an hour and half so far. I have to rotate the screen to get the other half of the keyboard and it's annoying as fook.. I stood in the tablet with my workbookts. The new screen arrived before. So I will be fitting it shortly. Hopefully back online tonight.. sorry about typos, to difficult to correct. Speak soon, hopefully
 
Damn!

I remember you commenting a while back about how big my feet are.

Well, look at you, twinkle-toes! :Rasta:
 
Day 2 of flower for the Sour diesel and Blueberry OG

Howdy do folks. Hope all's growing well on your side

Sorry for being absent all week. I buggered my tablet device and I don't like to log in on any other device, incase I leave a trail of evidence that the old Bill can follow.

Anyway, where were we?
Yes! The deficiency.
The sour diesel was showing signs of nutrient burn, without any change to the nutrients. She was also displaying white tips on the fans and slight colour change to the borders of the leaves. The Blueberry was also starting to lose the colour in her borders.

Here is the blueberry before and the next picture is the SD before

So, after all the wonderful advice off you lot, i bought some calmag.. I gave the SD calmag and a PK boost and I only gave the BB a PK boost on Monday
Both of them are fixed, or on their way to being fixed
Heres the BB
Screenshot_20210820-201530.jpeg
and here is the SD
Screenshot_20210820-201242.jpeg

They are getting healthier by the day..
So after a process of elimination, it looks like the PK boost was the one that was needed the most. I'm not saying the CalMag didn't help the SD, as she's never looked so healthy. But after doing a bit more research I found out that a potassium deficiency causes a burn on the tips and lightning of the margins .
Screenshot_20210820-084221.jpeg

The Cabbage food they get normally is low in potassium, so it seems to make sense..
If it happens again, i will repeat the process. But this time, I will give one just calmag and one just PK and see what the results are.

Oh! But whilst fixing these two, I've broke the white widow. After a feed of base nutrients, calmag and PK, she lost all her colour within 2 days. I know she's getting old and tired and will naturally lose colour, but this happened as soon as she was fed
Screenshot_20210820-201107.jpeg
Screenshot_20210820-201049.jpeg

Shes pretty sparkley and sticky, so I'm not too worried. I will check soil PH like @Verbalist mentioned, so I can rule that out. anyway.. she's only got a few weeks left; hopefully she can keep enough green in her leaves so she can photosynth-a-thingy properly.

The BB and SD are now officially in flower. They have their party hats on.
Heres the BB

So, that's it really.. it may take me a while to catch up on all your threads;
but I will.
Oh!! Day 8 of no smoke. The wife is feeling it more than I am, as she's had to go back to her tramadol for pain relief.. they make her all sweaty and anxious, so not good..

I'm just slightly fidgety. It's the taste I miss the most. :drool:
Who am I kidding.. I miss the mellowness. My mind is racing a million miles an hour. Full of great plans and no inclination to do any of them.

Ooops!! Im rabbitting again.
Anyway. That's it folks.. as always, i appreciate you all popping in and giving your advice and support.
I will see you all on your side

Take care
