Jack The Ripper

[PotChimp]

Here's the quarantined Jack the Ripper plant (under 12/12; the affected leaf is in the lower right of the plant):

I'll see what the sex is when it shows, plus keep my eye on the plant. If it gets another leaf like that I'm chopping it up regardless of what it is.

Jack the Ripper (the other 5 plants but you can't really see the one; it's staying a runt):

I'll get a pic up of that runt soon. I got a backup with my other veg unit these will do better in there as soon as it's cleared up.

Thanks I finally got my backup mostly dealt with. I put all 4 of these Jack the Ripper plants under a 250 Agrosun bulb today (it's running at 18/6):

The 5th one still has those curled, deformed leaves. I don't see the mosaic color pattern spreading, but TMV just showed up on another one of my clones in another tent so I'm ready to cull it at a moment's notice.

Two of the four Jack the Ripper plants under the 250 watt Agrosun:

The third, leaning a little:

And the fourth, another probable TMV case:

Here's the only good news about that; it's a male, even though I didn't get a clear pic:

2 out of 5 get culled due to disease.

Note: I fed the four plants under the 250 watt Agrosun bulb compost tea yesterday, consisting of -

2 gallons of RO water
2 tsp. of FF's all purpose 5-5-5
2 tsp. of unsulfured molasses 1-0-5
2 tsp. liquid Alaskan fish fertilizer 5-1-1
2 cups of earthworm castings 1-0-0

I bubbled this for about 36 hours then diluted it with 2 more gallons of RO water, making 4 gallons of compost tea.

You can see the two plants that grew in the same pot better in this pic (Jack the Ripper - week 2, day 1):

That pic summarizes what I wound up with here pretty well; 6 plants with 2 in one pot (which I never did separate, by the way). And after an inspection today, these pics will summarize the remaining plants.

First cull:

Reason - TMV:

Second cull, same:

Third cull, same:

They all had good health otherwise. Here's the fourth plant with a leaf mutation but so far no signs of TMV:

The fifth and sixth plants are in the same pot and healthy, but I had to remove the shade leaves on the normal plant to let the runted twin (?) get some light; sorry about the blurry pic:

I'm just going to treat the runt like a lower branch I guess. I have the survivors in the back of the tent not touching any of the other plants I have until I see if the last 3 are safe. Dang hope I get me a female here if I don't that'll be failed try #2 for Jack the Ripper.....

The last three Jack the Ripper plants in opposite corners of the tent:

Man I hope I get a female.

 

[Oldbear]

Nice looking plants.

 

[PotChimp]

Thanks Oldbear You'd think as short and stout as these both are I have me two females here, but both CFL bulbs and these Agrosuns keep a plant like that. I think I'm going to start them flowering in about a week and find out.

 

[PotChimp]

Well, these have a few bad leaves and were a little hard to get out of the pots too but I put both into 3 gallon pots today (SSM#4 Advanced w/FF's Fruit & Flower). Here's they are, at 6 weeks and 4 days from seed (Jack the Ripper):

I'll be starting them under 11/13 tonight, and I may give them a dose of AN's Iguana Juice grow to green them up again.

 

[PotChimp]

Both Jack the Ripper plants under a 400 watt HPS:

Two gallons of mixed soil should last, but I'll probably feed them that Iguana Juice anyway.

 

[veinz]

is that any good iguana juice???

 

[PotChimp]

I like the grow formula for Iguana Juice.

 

[PotChimp]

Tomorrow's dinner for both these (I changed my mind about the Iguana Juice):

2 gallons of RO water
2 tsp. of unsulfured molasses
1 tsp. of granular mycos
2 tsp. of Superswell bat guano
2 tsp. of soft rock phosphate
2 tsp. of FF's Fruit & Flower granular fertilizer
2 tsp. of liquid Maxicrop
1 cup of compost
1 cup of earthworm castings

I'll bubble it for about 36 hours then dilute it with 2 more gallons of RO water and pH balance it to 7.0 with lemon juice before I use it.

 

[redmud]

Why do you pH to 7 and not 6.5? just curious.

[PotChimp]

I use my leftover tea for an assortment of plants in my house and the garden (4 gallons of this as an end product is just too much to use at one time), so I aim at a neutral pH.

 

[redmud]

Ah I see thnx

[PotChimp]

I should be the one thanking you for making me think it out. My soil outside has a lot of clay, so I should be trying to make the teas more acidic to balance that out, not neutral. I think I'm going to aim at between 6.0 to 6.5 for pH from now on; thanks for the advice.

 

[PotChimp]

I should defoliate these some more (Jack the Ripper):

Still no signs of sex yet.
