Organic Biscotti 2.0, The Plug By Fudo

Here’s the two healthiest girls

Whatever is going on it hasn’t affected bud production. I’ll just have to try and stay on top of it.

Thanks man, I’ll keep that in mind. I do love the Budget’s, they’re 3500. The cobs are 3000 for a little extra red. I was thinking of adding red or maybe a uvb bulb. It’s fun to play with it…

sounds like you have a good handle on lighting

If they're greening from the bottom up that's good news! And those tops are getting fatter by the day, so they definitely aren't slacking in the bud-building department.

Can’t wait to see what they look like in the morning. I’ll probably give them some Iguana juice just for piece of mind. The pots are spent and I’m pitching them anyway so yeah, I’m just gonna concentrate on the buds.

Day 32 of flower

Well they’re alive, so there’s that but I’ve been seeing things again because they ain’t gettin no fn greener. It’s water day so they all got exactly 4 quarts of water with 1 tbs of Iguana juice, 1 tbs of cal-mag and 1tsp of Recharge. We’ll see what that does.
They’re all still praying and the buds are beautiful so I’m thinking they’ll make another 20days, I hope.

Well coloring smolering they look beautiful

 

[Fudo Myoo]

Oh and my fungus gnat issue, much worse than I thought. I aimed the fan directly over the edge of the pots, rotating back and forth. When I looked in this morning there was carcasses all over the floor. I put in another sticky trap, we’ll see how many it collects.

Thanks Krissi, they certainly are pretty. Still haven’t seen anything yet like Alaskan Purple.

Day 33 of flower

Good morning. Not surprisingly the girls are not opposed to liquid nutes. So I guess I need to swallow my pride and start them on a regimen. They’re praying pretty hard.

 

[Fudo Myoo]

Tomorrow’s breakfast. I threw in something for the gnats.

 

[Fudo Myoo]

Been doing some reading and it’s entirely possible that my problems can be solely the fault of the gnats. Luckily I should have time to fix it.

 

[InTheShed]

Most gnat damage I've seen is on individual leaves rather than across the plant, but that's just my online experience here.

For your nutes, is the Nectar providing N? If not, other than the 4-3-6 you might be low on the N. Lots of K though I'm not sure they need it.

That’s what I’m baffled about. There’s plenty of N sources, or so I think, plus I topped dressed with an all purpose. There are a bunch of different deficiencies represented on 3 of the plants only and being in the same soil…

So my conclusion thus far if it’s gnats that’s causing the problems is as follows.
Since it’s only showing on 3 and those are showing different levels and kinds of deficiency I’m thinking the larvae are having a field day on my mix leaving the plant short and soon may start on the roots.

So I’ll kill the eggs and feed them more to replenish the pots. The Iguana juice should supply enough N for the finish. As far at P and K go, it’s pretty hard to burn organic plants but I’m a little more concerned with excess N or lock out.

So basically between the hungry plants and the hungry gnat, they burned up the battery already and are stressing the root system.

Oh the Nectar has no N or K, it’s all P.

Thanks Fudo! I hadn't seen gnats eating what's in the soil before, just noshing on the roots and showing leaf damage topside.

Yeah that’s what I read. Didn’t do extensive research or anything, just read a couple articles. One said they’ll work there way through your minerals etc, then start in on the roots. Said it can turn them yellow etc…no time to experiment and it had the organic stamp so I bought it. Dude says it works. we’ll see.

Day 34 of flower

I’ve been trying to think of the best course of action concerning these bugs. Last watering they got a large dose of iguana juice so they should be good for a minute. They’re all praying and drinking plenty of water and the buds look like they’re still getting what they need so all they got was a stiff dose of Dr Zymes in a gallon of water. Next watering they’ll get the full treatment again to replenish what the solution might have killed. I also trimmed off the majority of yellow and vacuumed up all the dead bugs. And that’s about all I can do.

It’s a decent bet the gnats are the problem. The discoloration is all over the place. I got patches of yellow in the upper and lower mixed in with perfect green everywhere on the plant. There’s no drooping and they’re thirsty and praying so I don’t think it’s ph or anything serious. One thing’s for sure, these are the stinkiest girls I’ve ever had in here.

If you look past the yellow, the frost and the purple are looking mighty pretty!

Yeah that’s the only thing keeping be from pulling what’s left of my hair out.

Looks like they are lovin the nute cocktail. They are all still praying. I still find that cool, makes me want to do a time lapse camera in the tent.
