the mother plant for my first grow,
has had a couple issues, but is diligently powering through.
a couple weeks back she started to go calcium and boron defic,
rotting the tops of two buds, causing them to just pull and snap off.
a week before the two buds decayed, the new growth leaves were turning purpleish and drying up.
been hitting it with cal mag and hard-water ph'ed around 7, or perhaps even 7.5.
the drainage water that comes out of the bottom, ph's to a yellowish color, which doesnt even show up on my indicator(6.2-7.2)(light orange to deep red.)
so my conclusion was that the soil is very acidic, so the highly alkiline water that im giving her, could only be helping my problem.. am i wrong?
the deficiency problems seem to be somewhat at bay(not getting AS progressively worse as it was), though its clear the whole plant is going deficient due to age,
so i just figured i would post and get your opinions.
now to the real problem.
her strain is Java OG Kush, and Indica-based hybrid;
and she is at about week 8 of flowering.
up until her recent cacium and boron troubles,
all of her nugs were getting super frosty, hairy, and getting thicker.
however now, she has about 1-2" of new growth on all the upper, larger nodes, and the leaf matter has nearly tripled!
but the small nodes look great, and havent been affected by this odd growth spurt.
the plant has been out door its whole flowering cycle, and has been fine up until now
pics:
before- while the growth was still constant and no defic. had surfaced.
after- the new growth on top of the larger colas
smaller nugs- look great!
whole plant- dimensions are about 3' x 3' at the furthest extensions
before the fox tailing- taken somewhere around a month ago
after- taken less than a week ago
after
any info or tips would be greatly appreciated!
