My First Plant - Cookie Killer (Auto)

[Terrapin Station]

I'm noticing a blotch on a leaf of the new plant that is what I noticed on my first plant just as it got into trouble with a calcium def.

I'm in cannibis specific soil (Lush), and the plant is growing very well. But it's hard to not consider this blotch because of last time in the MG.

Any thoughts?

If it's the same soil odds are you are correct.
Might be a good idea to take a preventative measure.
How did you fix the previous problem?

Hi Bill, actually they are not the same soil. First one is Miracle Grow and the new plant is Organics Lush.

The previous problem was fixed with a cocktail of cal mag, fish emulsion, and the Morebloom P & K .

Hey Buddy.
I'd just try some cal mag in my water first to see what happens.
One thing at a time I find is easier to track what is going on.
Looks great though.

There continues to be no comparison between the first plant (MG) and the second plant (Lush soil).

At 4 weeks, the first was 7 1/2" tall, the second plant at 4 weeks is 18" tall full of pre flowers.

Thanks again to @Trump for recommending Lush and helping me understand that importance of root health.

Looking Good Brother! Keep an eye out for any signs of deficiency. You probably still have some nutrition in the soil but I would keep an eye out.

Will do!

Looking good Terrapin. I have been incommunicado the last week. Its tough being in the tropics with no interwebs/ cell service. But someone had to do it.

Thanks! Sounds cool about being in the tropics. Right, if not you then who?

It was great! I visited a little town on the northwest corner of Puerto Rico. I lived in Rincon for year over 30 years ago. The place sure has changed but was great seeing old friends. I was forced to smoke dispencery weed but we made the best of it. Lol

Sounds like a great trip man!

Have a few relatives that live in PR and DR.

This new plant continues to grow very rapidly and has a dark green color. She just completed 5 weeks today. This is when my other plant got into trouble rapidly in MG and I started feeding to respond to the unacceptable damage.

Normally in horticulture it's considered a blunder to treat a plant in fertile soil that is thriving (risking burning it up). But, I'm wondering if growing weed is an acception to the rule.

Part of me wants to start feeding a weak version of the cocktail I used on the first one and not wait until she gets in trouble, but part of me thinks I should leave her alone so I don't mess her up. It actually was right after I gave the first plant Morebloom 0-10-10 that I got into trouble last time for what that's worth. Any thoughts???

Start with a quarter dose and see how she reacts. If she's ok with it increase to 1/2 on the next watering. After that I would do 1/2 strength waterings for a couple weeks to acclimate her and then go full strength like you did on the other plant.

Excellent! Thank you

The first plant is in her 15th week. The bracts on the buds are still growing noticeably and there are no amber trichomes so I'm continuing to just let her do here thing. I'm down to pure water as of today to finish.

The second plant is in her 6th week. I gave her a 1/4 strength cocktail just now and I feel good about introducing nutes in this way at this point. She really looks good.

Getting some snow on those flowers!!!

Just for the record I noticed on a photo of yesterday my new plant had two of the youngest leaves going pale (at the bottom like the first plant) and getting papery and wilting. This is identical to how my first plant started to get in trouble with rust spots and leaf curing to follow on these same leaves.

What I'm hoping I'm learning now is this is how this auto first starts to show signs of deficiency. And as well I'm hoping since I gave her some nutes yesterday that between this and the superior soil this plant will continue with her vigorous and high rate of growth, and there will not be a repeat of last time.

Update:

After feeding 1/4 strength cocktail a few days ago the two sets of leaves at the bottom greened up and perked up. No issues now. I think I can see more buds on this second plant and am expecting a higher yield with her. Thanks again to everyone for your advice, I can't believe how much I've learned in a short time.

I'm in my 15th week with this auto and there's still no sign of any amber resin.

The impatient part of me wants to harvest now wondering if this strain doesn't get amber resin and wondering if my current resin now is deteriorating.

But, as someone said it always takes him 14 weeks to harvest his autos. Any thoughts please?
