HG & FP's Summer 2017 Grow - Freedom - CB Dutch Treat - Durban Poison

[FeloniousPunk]

Hi All,

I can't find the post, but someone asked about the spots on the leaves. I'll keep looking back to see if I can find it.

Freedom 2 is looking a little ragged with all the wind we have had in the last few days. I staked her up and it seems to have helped, The top of the plant has a kink in it from the wind, so I'm not sure if she is a growing spurt since moving outside or I am just hoping that she is leaping upward. Of course if she continues to grow I will have to move her again.

Peace.

Hi guys Im no expert but some of the leaves have veins darker green than the rest of the leaf which I think could be a magnesium problem? Spots could be water droplet burn - I see some water droplets in the pics.

Hey there HashGirl and Felonious! Sorry I took so long to stop over.. I had asked about the spots on the plants from in the CBD grow community thread. I was hoping I could help out with the issue. Looks like oldbear got to it for you, have you made any adjustments since then to your nutrient feedings?

Lets look into it a bit farther as well.. Are you watering/feeding from above the plant and having the mixture drop over the leaves, or are you just watering straight into the soil? Water droplets alone during the day when the lights are on can cause burn marks on the leaves, the droplets act as a magnifying glass and that is what can cause the spots on the Durban Poisons that I can see. The other thing that could be possible if you are feeding from above the plants is that the nutrient mix is too strong to be applied directly to the plants leaves, just ensure you are watering from below the canopy. If you would like to foliar feed as well, 1/4-1/3 strength nutes are fine for fine mist spraying.

The leaves at the bottom of the Dutch Treats, were they starting to yellow before turning to the curled up burnt looking leaf? Sometimes if a plant is getting low on nitrogen it will start to suck it up from the lowest leaves which can cause them to turn yellow and then crisp up, this will happen from the bottom up. Also, sometimes plants will eventually shed some of the lower leaves on a plant that aren't getting sufficient light or have already served their purpose. Is this only happening to a couple of the lower leaves??

The other thing that oldbear had mentioned about the magnesium deficiency due to the color of the veins on the leaves, I do notice this on the dutch treats but it's on the new growth, sometimes the newest growth can look different from the rest of the plant. It also doesn't hurt to be adding calmag to your feeding schedule especially if using RO water. What type of water are you using?

Hopefully some of this info will help you out and once you get back to me about the questions I've asked we will see if we can narrow things down Thanks for inviting me over HG, always glad to help out if I can!

Dick and OldBear. I'll let Felonious know you dropped by with some suggestions and he can reply.

Have a great day!

Hi All,

Sorry about being so slow replying.

I am convinced that this is an under watering problem.

I was trying to stay on top of it but with all the hired help around here and with the reduction in privacy with the removal of several trees to get a pool installed this summer, the plants have been neglected.

Freedom 2 is looking great out in the forest. I got out there to water her, plus we've had some rain lately. This points me to stress from under watering, not nutrient deficiency.

We still have 5 plants in the tent. I watered them this morning and should not have problems tending to them this coming week.

Thanks for all your help, I will keep you posted.

Peace.

Good morning.

I have more photos for our journal. I'll start with the Freedom Dreams. We have 3 Freedoms left -- Free2, Free3 and Free4. Free2 was planted outside on June 9 and Freedom 3 was planted outside earlier this week:


FREE4 - DAY 44

FREE2 - DAY 51

FREE3 - DAY 43

​The two Freedoms that were planted outside appear to be thriving in the partly shady part of our yard.

Next up are the CB Dutch Treats. They are both 45 days' old.


CBDutch 2 - Day 45

CBDutch 1 - Day 45

 

[HashGirl]

And, finally, here are our Durban Poisons. Durban 1 is 45 days' old and Durban 2 is 43 days' old:


DURBAN 1 - DAY 45

DURBAN 2 - DAY 43

​And, that's it for this week. Hope you enjoyed the show.

 

[Oldbear]

Great shots - I particularly like the overhead pics. The outdoor freedoms blend in very nicely with the other plants. Hiding in plain sight works

 

[HashGirl]

Thanks, OldBear. Felonious read or heard that somewhere and so far it appears to be working.

 

[FeloniousPunk]

Hi All,

Just a clarification. Freedom 2 and 3 have been moved outside but are still in their 3 gallon pots.

Peace.

 

[HashGirl]

Good afternoon.

It's time for the weekly photos. First up is Freedom 4, the only indoor Freedom Dream at this point. She's 52 days' old:

And, here are the two outside Freedom Dreams. Free2 is 59 days' old and Free3 is 52 days' old. Check out the nice cola on Free2.

Hi All,

Had to move the light up in the tent this morning. We are running out of space. Yikes!

Peace.

 

[Lady G2HM]

Your plants look amazing, star-studded show. Do you plan on staking the tall ones before flower?
Wishing you handy medicine for HG, hope they help you. .

Hi All,

I transplanted CBDutch 1 & 2 yesterday. So far they look good.

This has been a bad summer to grow because of all the contractors and family poking around. It is risky moving the CBDUTCH out to the forest with the Freedoms. I know tending to them will be a problem since the forest is in view of the neighbours, and hauling water back there will raise suspicions. I'm hoping for a wet August so I don't have to haul water. Mostly this is turning into a gorilla grow. The alternative was not to start a grow, or if it got to be too much, kill the plants. We are hoping this alternative plan will produce a decent crop.

Peace.

Hi FP and HG. Your plants look great. I have not tried to grow anything outdoors yet but I wold worry more about the smell.

 

[DobeWan]

Not sure how wet it has been down your way but this must be the wettest summer since I've been in Ontario. My lawn is usually burning up by this point and this year I haven't even watered it. So you might be in luck.

 

[HashGirl]

I guess it would depend on whose perspective it is that rain is good.
