TimHomeagrow G13 Haze & Majin Buu In Soil

[Justin Goody]

Well dejavu again....getting spotting on the big fan leaves of my biggest/oldest girl. Growing in FFOF and just gave MC (1g) the last two feedings, around day 30 old. What gives???

Lux says 31k-33k, 16" height at 75 %

@Justin Goody yours looked like this when you have some cal mag?

Even a smaller one, still on just FFOF, no MC, 25 days old is also starting

Perhaps I've waited too long for some MC?

They look excellent, but yes I'm familiar with those spots coming anyway...
#1 thing, I'm usually feeding 3-4g/G by this stage, so possibly upping their dose will eliminate the problem.
I also haven't noticed that issue since I switched to promix/perlite 80/20.
And just an outside chance, but the wood chips yu have in there could be making your waterings slightly more acidic than desired, messing with pH a bit. That's likely not it, but just crossing off some possibilities.
@Mr. Sauga is really good at diagnosing early leaf problems, he has helped me immensely. Hoping he can jump in before the problem becomes a problem.

Based on what I read I would have to agree with you that the plants are not getting enough MC. I would be at 3g's right now. Goody has you on track Tim.

Should I move up slowly from the 1g to the 3g over the next few waterings, or just go straight to 3g?

Thanks!

6.4-6.6 oh each time

 

[Bill284]

6.4-6.6 oh each time

I know ff has a bit of an upward drift 6.2 is usually pretty good for ff.
I'm not the greatest with that soil. Its a basic move but have you flushed the pot?
Emilya is an incredible wealth of knowledge in that medium. Have you talked to her.

No problem. You can go right up to 3g. Let her go a couple of feedings then bump up to 4g. Hold at 4g/gal until you reach flower, then you'll probably use 1/2g increases at that point, up to around 5 or 5.5g/gal, based on what the plants are saying.

The three smaller girls got topped today and watered to runoff with 2g MC. The one in the back right is a dense little girl with the closest node spacing I've seen in my limited amount of grows. I love when they all have slightly different personalities

A little droopy from the watering

My free Girls Scout cookie auto is doing well too, much more sparse than the last auto grows of a different strain. The little one is Majin Buu photo that was struggling her first few weeks. Her main cola naturally split into two so it feels like having twins . I'll keep growing her as long as she keeps growing ha

 

[Timhomegrow]

Well, one of the girls that got the MC yesterday is now showing those leaf spots today. Unfortunately I forgot to add a little cal/mag, but figured with the MC it wouldn't happen to the girls that are a week behind the big one.

I did order a new bag of MC, as the one I have is from the summer when they were switching their formulas, hoping the new bag makes a difference. If not I may have to try a new nutrient regiment. Any recommendations?

 

[Emilya Green]

it looks like you need to use more MC than you did on that last feeding... that is all that is wrong.

While my third grow, first grow with photo periods so this will be my first time doing defoliation.

Reading online, many sites say to do it once in veg, right before the light flip and again in early flower. But I'd rather hear some thoughts from real life growers here

This girl is hard to get inside or get good airflow with some of those giant fan leaves. Would it be ok to do some defoliation now and some more before the light switch?

I'll be switching the light in about 3 weeks.

I did it before flip but wasn't aggressive enough. I did again about a week after and defoliated like I should have done before flip. Plenty of time to recover before flip. If you have to after but if you do it right before you shouldn't have to do it after flip. They say you can do it after flip in the fist couple weeks but I don't recommend it. Of course miner defoliation though out flower but just as needed every few days but not a major like you want to do before. Thats my take... How many weeks in are you with that one? She looks like she could be a little bigger before flip.

I'm almost 5 weeks with that one....so guessing about another 3 weeks before the flip, give or take. I'm in no rush to defoliate yet, just thinking ahead

Plant looks great!!!!!

 

[Timhomegrow]

Did you do the chiropractor technique too?

 

[Plant Dad]

Yes I did.. I used all of the super cropping techniques. It really works.

 

[Timhomegrow]

Girls are doing well

Day 35 ish

Adding more MC stopped the spotting. Also got a new bag in today with the balls....I think I had the not as good formula since last grow.

lux reading is 33-35k

This G13 Haze has about a 6 day head start on the rest. She's been trained for a week or so, coming along nicely. About as even as I could get.

Her two topped colas are really getting long, flat lining now ha

This is also the G13 Haze, about 6 days younger....but a big difference. The node spacing on this one is like 2.5-3 inches. Biggest spacing of the four by far.

Side by side

And of course I cracked my first stem, one of the topped colas . Taped it up and hope for the best.... smoke the rest.

My side project, a free Girl Scout Cookie auto and a photo I didn't think would make it but is improving. In my old tent and light

What up, what up? Love those spacers with drip pan! I‘ve got to add that to my mile long list of never ending upgrades... your garden is about to pop for sure!

It's coming along for sure. I feel like I have the proper equipment, now if I can minimize the human error I'll be good haha.

The pine bark mulch has been awesome....haven't seen a gnat in weeks
