Hi pal i cant get pics until lights come on in 9 hours i have got them pretty tight the stems are wavy the leaves look healthy haven't died off
Hi pal thats probably it my other 2 plants have floppy easy to bend stems this one has rock hard stems i will take a look at silica can i feed whole grow or just veg and would i add before base nutes thanks
I use it through my entire grow. It goes in first before any other nutes when mixing.
it also says this Silica will help to build stronger root systems and stems, whilst simultaneously reducing water loss through the leaves i don't no if it would help with water on leaves from transpiration that's why i started tying down
Usually, water drops on leaves indicate high temps. The plant puts out the water drops to cool itself down. Unfortunately, that can lead to mold or other issues. Are you using any oscillating fans ? A slight breeze going through the leaves of the plant will help a lot. If the leaves are justso thick you can't get airflow through the branches you may have to defoliate some of those leaves. I've experienced the very same issues you're having & this is how I solved them. There may be other ways to skin the same cat. But this worked for me.
Hi pal i will get a oscillating fan today ive never used one before i also noticed a grass smell when lights go out it only happens when its a little chilly in the main room the tents in i also noticed i had the plant on a weight and feed was getting trapped in the centre gap so ive moved it i also couldn't train until it got a little bigger the fan leaves was huge at the start ive been training about ten days now here is a pic when it was smaller
Hi pal ive ordered silica now it was only £6
Hi pal i have some on the way how much do u add m/l ive never trained a plant before i just let them grow normally i grew the same strain for years and the stems grew outwards then the past couple of strains the stems have grown close to main stem. That knot is insane how my stems are now that would have multiple kinksGood morning @agedmaster. The silica is a must for your grow . I use it from first feeding through to the last. Always add to your solution first and let set for it to dissolve fully. Mine sets in a aerated bucket for a day before adding nutes. Does wonders for you whether super cropping or training.
I don't use a lot ,not needed. Only three mils. in eighteen liters of solution. Been using it for years so will go a loong way. I find it makes the whole plant very flexible so really easy to train.
Hi pal i will train early next time i am also going to get a net should make it easier the leaves was huge at the start i snapped a fan leaf trying to tuck early on. I found this seed in some shake i got i was told it was guava it stunk ive also got another seed saved im also going to remove string i think when the plants growing up its putting more pressure on the string the tops lower than the side stems
Silica will help grow strong stems.
