Joe's Grows

[Jungle Joseph]

Big Swiss skunk is looking okay.

The clone from Big Swiss is looking really good. Different soil.

Lucky the Wookiee auto is fully into flower now. Awesome. But I'm not very happy about the way her leaves are turning down, and I'm struggling with what seems to be a calmag problem with her. I would repot her but I don't want to stress her out and stunt her growth, especially now she's in flower. I've been foliar spraying with the 4/8/12 fert for a couple of days now. We'll see how it goes.

Have you tried the beer trap for the snails? Not an outdoor weed grower but outdoor gardener. Works for slugs and snails

I didn't have any beer handy at the time since I don't drink, and it's a reasonably long drive into town to buy beer for snails
I've used it before though and it works really well.

If it's not an under/over watering thing the next thing to consider is probably lighting / heat or root issues.
I could be wrong though. Just trying to be helpful lmao.

It could well be over watering or root issues.
The temperature is pretty consistently around 20-25°c, and I don't see any burning from the light. I've been keeping the pH of the water between 5.5-6.5
I get the feeling my soil needs more aeration, perlite etc.
Or I need to stop watering too much lol.

How close is your light?

My plants really hate the recommended distance. They look silty and sad. If I move it further up, I get big smiles from them.

I'll get my measuring stick...

Okay, I get 12" or 30cm from the light to the top of the plant.

Ppfd is around 1100, way too much. Oops.

I raised the light 10" or 25cm, ppfd is now around 700.

I hope that helps.

Thanks Trala.

Lucky seems to be happier now. I think lifting the light helped, thanks for the tip Trala.
I'm foliar spraying with a solution of calmag, pk heavy (0-11-12), and hydrogen peroxide. She looks okay apart from the yellow on some leaves and a few dead leaves at the bottom.

Big Swiss clone went outside in some soil I mixed up last year. I used the Trichoderma as well. I fimmed her and shaved her legs a little.
Little Swiss got a shave as well.
I planted a clone in a big fabric pot and it's not going very well, so I just jammed a cutting in the soil next to it. When I say "cutting" it was more like a tearing, the end was all broken and torn and I want to see if it grows after that kind of abuse with no special attention, so I dipped it in rooting hormone and we'll see if it takes.

The photos aren't in the right order.

I've been foliar spraying Lucky with the calmag, pk heavy and yucca mix. She seems to be doing ok. I'm still not 100% happy, but she's alive and building buds, so it's not all bad. I just wish I had the skills to grow her to her full potential.

Once again I'd like to thank @Trala for giving me the opportunity to grow this beautiful girl

 

[Jungle Joseph]

My Swiss skunk from @Gorilla Seeds 'Big Swiss', is doing well despite my lack of growing skills
She's getting bushy, so I'll give her a trim sooner or later.
I let her dry out more this time, and I watered her yesterday with plain water and hydrogen peroxide for some extra O² in the soil. She'll continue on 18 hours until Lucky is done and then I'll flip her to 12/12.

 

[Jungle Joseph]

My other Swiss skunk, 'Small Swiss', is doing well despite a rough start, and she's really taken to life outside.

 

[Jungle Joseph]

The clone from Big Swiss is looking really healthy and happy. She likes it outside too.

 

[Jungle Joseph]

And finally we have the slow clone. I don't know what her problem is , but it's almost like she's dormant.
The cutting I jammed in the soil next to her died. Oh well, no great loss.

Done and done. I gave the outdoor girls a drink of fish juice.

Some close up shots of Lucky. She's starting to get frosty.
Now I know what Trala was talking about when she said you have to smell this girl, she smells absolutely fantastic...

 

[Trala]

She smells like the farts of angels!
