ProfessorFlora's 10 Strain 200W LED Organic Soil Grow

[ProfessorFlora]

Or maybe his child did lol

It won't be long before I'm asking her to help me send messages and change the channel on the TV lol

 

[AngryBird]

Lol... Yeah train her well

 

[ProfessorFlora]

Bare with me, as I think my head is going to explode

Hey 420! How are we all on this perfectly average (at least it has been for me) Monday? First up we have some nice pics then we'll get to Shed and his Cali Orange. Here's the nice pics....

There ya go! That was the nice pics. Now we move on to the California Orange. Basically she has worsened since yesterday and for the first time since early to mid veg I have to get off my behind and do something. Now, I've collected all the information I need to diagnose this little lady and I'm about to go through and do all the deficiency charts and enviroment checks. I thought I'd give you guys the info so you could play "Save Sheds Selection" with me. Here's what we have....

Current nutrient strength is 1ml fish mix, 1.5ml topmax, 1.5ml Bio bloom per 1ltr of water
Lights are 18in above the canopy
Temps at lights on are 20C-24C and at lights out are 4C-8C
Humidity is all over the place. One day it's 30% the next it's 60%
Watering is whenever pots are dry.
The symptoms are curling upper leaves and fade in random places mainly on the higher leaves but spreading down the plant. She doesn't appear to have been slowed by any of this though and still looks pretty good. She's still growing well and if this was happening around week 8 I wouldn't be worried at all but it's a bit early for her to be losing leaves like that.


Well that's what I've collected. The cold temps concern me but I don't think that it is the problem. I'm leaning towards nutrient issues but we shall see. Off to browse the charts. Here she is and happy growing everyone

 

[AngryBird]

Have you gone through "the check list"?
Humidity, heat, roots,....
Is she in a hot spot from light?

 

[ProfessorFlora]

I have indeed Birdie. I'm going to raise night temps by closing the window and venting into the room. I'll check the humidity when doing this though. I'm going to raise her flowering nutes as well. Hopefully she'll be ok

I just caused chaos over in your thread m'dear. Apologies lol

 

[AngryBird]

MochaBud didn't mind.
I wouldnt either

Sorry to have picked the problem child Professor . If it's moving down the plant it's not light stress. It could be that 30% is too low for some plants (and some plants dislike anything above 50%!). I would try watering a day earlier than before. Do you measure the PPM of your nutes?

Don't worry about it, all good fun Shed. I could try watering a day early to see if it helps. The pot should be dry in a couple days so I might try watering her tomorrow night. I measure my tap waters PPM every few weeks to make sure it's not fluctuating but the nutrients that I use can't be measured in that way because they're organic. The tap water comes in at about 7.2 on average.

I was just reading how she favors a Mediterranean climate. You sure she's warm enough? Some plants are more sensitive to cold.
I ended reading a bit about the strain, sounds cool.

 

[Growingasmile]

Lol, I call them Bonus Buds because originally I had no intention of running them during this grow. Thing is though, I have a problem with keeping Seeds in the packaging. I'll let you in on a little secret....I've popped some more

I shall explain later....

Lol you're like an old prospector bitten by the green rush, you can never pop enough seeds... kill the weak this is Sparta!!

 

[AngryBird]

Sparta and a plant that prefers Mediterranean climate..
Prof... Problem solved!
Move to Greece

 

[Virgin Ground]

Move to the Azores. That's where Atlantis is. True story.

 

[MrSauga]

I just caused chaos over in your thread m'dear. Apologies lol

I'm on it..I love chaos. I created lots of it yesterday.

 

[ProfessorFlora]

It's a deal. We shall raise the temps some more then. Chaos, Sparta and seeds. Just another normal day on 420

 

[Dutchman1990]

Woop woop!

This Is 4 2 0!

 

[Lewydeville]

I think that’s just the cold temps mate.

 

[ProfessorFlora]

The rooms reading 14C now at lights off so that's much better than it was. I'll have to keep an eye on the humidity venting into the room. It's 58% at the moment which is groovy

 

[InTheShed]

14ºC is damn cold for many plants, and I remember Norcaliwood posted a great link in my thread about how some plants can't uptake specific nutrients below certain temps:

[Dutchman1990]

I agree on the temps! 14degrees is cold
