Ok good advice. Ill follow that. I think the stress happened early on. The 2 plants on the left side of the system were lagging behind the 3 in the middle and right. The worst one looked like a charlie brown tree. I believe i didnt have enough misters set up on that side of the tank. Either that or theres something wrong with the way the LEDs are angled, bc ive done my best to keep the light center of the tank. Pretty sure it was the misters tho, bc in the beginning the 3 on the right showed slight nutrient burn, the far left (one in question) looked perfectly fine, and the charlie brown kept gettimg brown spots, im assumimg from deficiency.
Brown spots early for me are usually a Calcium issue or I’ve been careless when watering and a burn. Obviously I know little about how your growing so my comments are kept pretty generic. You might wanna hope for Lucy Van Pelt, Charlie gets chopped by her everytime.
Lol
Appreciate all the advice man. Its helped a lot.
Sometimes its the only call! I just hate to make it too quickly/early like…hospice.
Lmao
I was going to keep her and risk it because if i got seeds, then that would be nice too. I only got 5 seeds of this strain left, and 5 feminized blueberry og for next grow, but they were expensiveeeeee. But then i read that hermies involved in pollination are more likely to grow hermies with their seeds so she had to go, unfortunately.
If they are photos, save some cuttings at stretch and cripple em (low intensity light / low food) in the event it turns out great. And Yes, that is the accepted belief if genetically predisposed it passes along its a survival mechanism.
My experiences with hermies was mostly my fault, PH meter not calibrated, juiced HPS light, timers off, power outage, purposefully with CS.
Thats a great idea. I should have done that with the 1st plant i had to get rid of, a male, but he was a beast. Eventually want to mix this with the blueberry and see what happens.
Id just put it on an 18/6 schedule again?
Yeah, called Re-Veg. 18/6 or 24 hours under a weak blurple seedling lights no need to get them growing aggressive just stay alive until you have a plan. Try to take them while in stretch before true flower, but later works too, I just hate adding stress late.
Ok awesome…i actually have some 2’ 24watt leds that i can use. Was thinking if using my aerogarden like i did to start these but i think that light wouod get them growing like crazy.
Are you able to tell how close a plant is to true flower through pics? Im going to post several with different lighting just in case.
I’d call that early flower, not quite buttons, but pistils and growth tips piling up, usually when you’ll see a big stretch in overall growth too. Time about when I bump the PK till it stops being noticeable. Which prob circles back to your original post. Pics look good and healthy too, always a funnier lime green on the new growth. Keep on keeping on!
Goid to know. Once i live through it once i think ill be good to go. Once again thanks for all the help!
NO problem, happy to help!
Not screwed at all ExoFly. You just super cropped the branch. As long as the outside skin is in tact, you did it right. That’s a good method to use to keep them from hitting the light. No need to hold it up, it will turn up towards the light on its own ![]()
brother i have been where you are and thats the thing! you are never through it all lol…this way of thinking will set you up to fail. while you will get better with each grow, each grow will present its own set of problems that require a different way of thinking. no 2 grows will ever be the same. i believe you are just trying to get through your initial grow but i will bet you find yourself some 7 grows down the road making the same mistakes that you swore you wouldnt make again. its a learning process but the process isnt as much about growing as it is about problem solving. if you can fix problems your plant will thrive. ![]()
Awesome. Shes already completely turned herself 90 degrees. That is wild.
Yesterday when.i did some trimmimg of leaves, i noticed some if the stems were hollow in the center. I know this is normal bc i have seen it with vegetable plants in the garden, but is it ok to leave that hole open? Will it close itself or should i put some tape or something on it?
Those are some great points man. I enjoy problem solving, even though i get super stressed while doing it (lol), so it should be a fun journey. Appreciate that advice!
Perfectly normal, my recent harvest it was the size of a McDs straw and had a calcified core. It will heal, if you have bug issues a little dab of honey or aloe will speed it up.
Sweet. Thanks man. And im sorry to keep bugging you but I noticed when i opened the tent this a.m. that the branch that i bent actually seems to have folded in more, and now there is a small rip on the left side, but the actual branch still looks good otherwise. Is it ok to leave it like this, or should i lift it up some so the kink aint so bad?
It will/should heal but takes a few days - try not to manipulate it much. Sounds like you did it right. If it really worries you you could wrap in tape, tie it, splint it, whatever. Honestly I’d just keep an eye on it and let it do its thing, If you see other branches that need same chiropractic, just be careful. If you lose an occasional branch which I doubt, you’ll join the rest of us in the club.
