Vetsmoke85 First Grow Stealth Cabinet

[AliceGG]

The plants don't need a lot of nitrogen at this stage, so it might just be natural yellowing. Although it's a bit early for this "natural" yellowing, so I'm not saying it can't be nitrogen. Are these old leaves?

 

[VetSmoke85]

That was my original thought but it's creeping up the plant now. Apparently they normally take 8-10 weeks to harvest so she has 2-4 weeks left. I don't think the yellowing should be coming on so quick just yet but then I've seen others grown in small pots where this has happened.

 

[VetSmoke85]

Also I've only ever given half the recommended dose of nutes so far, max. Perhaps she does want a bit more.

 

[AliceGG]

That's a possibility.
I don't think you can do much harm by adding a bit more BioGrow, go for it. When do you plan adding bloom nutes? Or have you already added some?

 

[VetSmoke85]

Started bloom nutes a week or two ago now. I'll try adding a bit more grow to her next feed and see what happens.

[VetSmoke85]

Given them both a good feed this afternoon. See how #2 responds. Fingers crossed I can keep her going to harvest.

 

[VetSmoke85]

Started building a veg box using a metal shoe rack frame and some tri-wall cardboard. Lined it with mylar. Hopefully get that finished next week so the next lot can get a head start.

Hey Vet...The girls are coming right along,It's impressive how fast things happen once the flowering
stage really gets going !

The one does look like she could use a little shot of nitrogen-the bloom nutes just
don't have quite enough for her-a little extra BioGrow should get her back on track.
She's getting close to the point where you'll get some unavoidable yellowing,but it seems a bit
early for her to start that.

 

[VetSmoke85]

Yeah if she was a couple of weeks older I wouldn't be as concerned. I hadn't backed off the BioGrow but maybe she just needs a little more now. Will get her happy again I'm sure. I'll keep giving her a little extra the next few feeds.

and some tri-wall cardboard

tri-wall....the "Cadillac" of cardboards

 

[VetSmoke85]

Still had some left from my military days. We used to rob them from stores for moving house. Ha ha.

 

[VetSmoke85]

Will get her out for a proper inspection soon but just had a quick look and it appears #2 now has nutrient burn on the tips. She's being a bugger. Lol

 

[VetSmoke85]

Well the blurple was lying. Under it the tips looked white so I thought they might be burnt. Absolutely fine under normal light.

 

[VetSmoke85]

See a very slight tint of blue starting.

 

[Carcass]

I can see that-especially in the bottom left pic...they're going to be real beauties when they grow up...

I can't wait.

 

[VetSmoke85]

Tonight #2 isn't really looking any better and there is some slight tip burn showing. I'll check the ph on the run off after the next feed. Tempted to just give her water on the next one. Maybe that could help if there's a bit of a salt build up? Really don't want to lose her this far in.

 

[VetSmoke85]

Load of pics of #2. Some of the flower leaves are a nice green colour. See some burnt tips and the state of the lower leaves. Oh and those funny little balls she has. Ha ha.

Just swollen calxys mate, they always swell first, looking nice and filling in
