yippee!Day 11
Finally a 2nd rooter.
This one is going to be plantable soon.
I have 8 weeks left until the 2 tortured Durban clones are done flowering.
Lets plant this in a 2gal and toss it straight into the flower tent and see how it goes.
Tomorrow or Monday it will be ready.
Thats pretty much what I said too Carmen
Won't have much root mass to sustain it in flower. No concerns there?
Oh I have concerns, but what could go wrong?
FTFY.
Happens to me a lot. I wonder if it’s something we should expect absent proactive measures? If so, what would those measures be and when should they be applied?
Hi Gee, there is trouble in paradise. I have just noticed that this spotting is coming in. The canopy is level and chockablock so it's a bit hard to see which node the leaves are at. I think it is creeping up. Anyway I gave the plant a dose of calmag with a thorough watering (bag was dry). Did I do the right thing?
Incidentally, I think that this might be unrelated to coming off the swick. The soil probably needs a bump because the plant has filled the bag and gone to flower. Today was the first proper sighting of pistils in the flower spots.
What can you recommend please?
Hi Rob, nice to see you! I think I should have given these plant a top dress at first sign of readiness to begin the flower cycle. There is a companion product that goes with my soil for that purpose, and I got so caught up in trying to rescue swicks gone bad that I neglected to do that. At least I think that is the issue. Could it be like that for you? A growth spurt / transition stage. Proactive measures are the way to go I believe.
Ok first I have to say I have never grown an auto so if it were a photo-period I would say definitely a calcium problem.

Its weird, aesthetically the leaves are so sad, but the plant is very robust, very perky, and flowering beautifully. They are 3 weeks into flower today and the buds are pretty much right where they should be. I need to check their brix.
From what I can see you need to top water regularly enough to keep the feeder roots engaged as well as top watering in EWC or top dressing etc.
This is exactly what you should do. It's likely your calcium as well as food, and designed for that soil.
Mine got infested with springtails pretty badly after a while. I didn't like that. Mothers are nice if I'm in a project but otherwise they're work. I wasn't that good at keeping up with it.I have often thought about trying bonsai but I already have too many plants. Tried talking Momma into it but she wouldn't bite
Hi Carmen, my first SIP and 4 of these 5 have shown me the same cal/mag issue too. Since I'm in a SIP I'm shooting 5 ml into the rez once a week to the ones feeding well and will for the duration.Hi Gee,
I hope things are going well for you in your garden today.
I have a leaf issue on my Gelato auto 2, and I'd be grateful for a diagnosis if possible please.
It has never been swicked. It's in that blend of 1/3 mushroom compost to 2/3 cannabis soil (Orgasoilux... the one you've looked at for me before, which has been causing issues for me since day 1). Not true. It was swicked as a sprout until transplant on 11 July.
I had hoped the mushroom compost would cut the super soil enough so that it wouldn't cause problems. I want to use this blend again if it works out for me. There are a couple of older fans that are looking like something might be developing.
Thank you Gee. I didn't need a microscope for the earwig I squished. It scuttled out from under the pot saucer when I moved it. I hope to high heavens that there aren't more!
The plant looks ok other than this. It's in good health. I was just wondering if there was a nute issue I should address.Hi Otter, okay, once a week it will be for me too then, for my Parmesan at least. Right now it takes about three days to drink 3 L, which is what it takes to runoff. Are you thinking that this Gelato could also be treated as a calmag issue?
I hope that works for you. It'll be great if that is a solution. What does EarthBox actually say about it?
