I have three plants that are new strain. Untested other than I grew three of them a few months back. One got root rot. One grew really nice and the other I gave away.
It grew nice but was the friends first grow so it did mold as he allowed 66 rh during budding and I'm sure that caused his mold. But otherwise his plant turned out better than mine as far as trich production. Mine Hermied.
The plants are part blueberry pancakes part pistachio auto.
In a mixture of promix bx and promix organic in the black and yellow 2 cubic feet packs. 50/50
Perlite layered small bit at the bottom. Maybe half inch. Then the 50/50 mix. For about 3 inches. Then inch of perlite. Then 2 inches of the 50/50 mix.
Then about inch and a half of perlite then 4 inches of 50/50 mix for the top.
Mixed Dr earth dry veg in the 50/50 mix
Worm castings also mixed into the 50/50 mix at 1.25% nitrogen per the bags recommendation.
I had a 6 pound bag and put two pounds in a mix for 7 gal pots. I did two at a time.
One of the three is in a 5 gal pot with adjusted mix of all to lower for a 5 gal. Just a bit.
Grow started on 5/5/24
Because they were small we didn't water them heavily and I didn't start the clock for the addition of more amendments until 3 days ago I gave them all pot of gold at the required dosing but I do believe it should have been followed exactly even with a small plant.
This is my first outside grow.
I know on my best and biggest looking plant it has minor signs of tunneling bugs. Can't remember there name.
But it's so minor only one line on one leaf and small light brown spots on three leaves. Very small.
The other two show no signs of bugs. I can't find any on them either.
The issue is.....the plants all.had their very bottom first jagged leaf shrivel up.
Stayed green though but did dry out.
The one in the five gal felt pot now appears to be having the same issue as the single segment jagged leaves on an entire node. But it's a small node. But i know if it didn't have this issue it would be much bigger in that spot. It's the first node on the plant but it's shriveling on the top leaves of that node and the bottom leaves.
The rest of the plant is fine. Or so it seems for now.
I just ordered new amendments to switch to. I almost gave them more Dr earth veg but decided if they need nutes I'm switching.
I purchased bud doublin. A friend used it and had not one single issue through his entire grow and it was his second grow. Five plants all turned out perfect.
Since I only gave them pot of gold once and have given them no more amendments.... Would switching be ok now?
In the second photo.....the middle plant Is the one shriveling. Color is good and the leaves shriveling are still green.
Bags are heavy and watered once every three days with one gallon and though I may need more water than that they are not drinking it up fast at this time.
They also get enough air up on the roof. For sure. It's always blowing wind on my roof.
I want deep green leaves from now till budding starts.
Since I believe they will auto I only have a few weeks left to get this right before going into early bud if they auto. But since this is a mixed strain maybe some will not.
Also...should these pots be sitting up on something? So air gets under the pot. Normally they will would be in a drip tray inside. But not needed outside.

It was hilarious how he was batting at them at digging through the greens to get to hidden berries.
