Zooie's Secret Closet Soil Grow 2020

[Zooie]

Thank you all for chiming in, I have the light at 30 inches above the plants and the tallest one is about 27 inches from the light. The light is at full power and is 430watts at the wall. I notice this after I did the transplant yesterday. It looks as though at the moment it may be easing from what I see. I am going to get cleaned up now and I will get some pictures for you all to see.

OK so it's not a light issue. It sounds like some post transplant stress that is working itself out. As Em mentioned they are praying nicely so they are happy. It's good to see that you are noticing the changes in the plant. That's the plant talking to you

 

[Zooie]

Yes I try to watch them as close as I can..... here are some pictures I just took of them in just the light from the camera.
Could be like you said @MrSauga stress from transplant, also like @Emilya said they are all praying. I noticed also that they drop their leaves an hour before lights out...hehe...weird little girls they are.

drop their leaves an hour before lights out...hehe...weird little girls they are.

Totally normal. They are anticipating their bedtime. If you look an hour before their lights come on you'll notice they start to perk up too waiting for those lights to turn on.

Well its day 30 for these girls being above ground. All is going well so far, temps running from 70f in morning to 75f at peak heat of day ...RH 50-55%. I feel in a really good mood this morning after a cup of coffee and some bud in a pipe. Cheers to everyone and have a great day.

Well I know its late, but been very busy...watered the sexy ladies today. Gave them another 4g/gal MC feed today and after looking over all the plants I found this little sick one. Looks like maybe lacking cal-mag?....IDK...can you tell me? If that is what it is, I have some on hand I can give them next water or maybe apply with spray?....IDK

 

[Emilya Green]

You shouldn't need anything else other than the MC... can you confirm that this is one of the oldest lower fan leaves?

 

[Zooie]

Hi, @Emilya ….yes it is one of the old fan leaves. None of the rest of the plant has any discoloring.

Hi, @Emilya ….yes it is one of the old fan leaves. None of the rest of the plant has any discoloring.

That's what caught my eye... that I don't see any other damage like this anywhere else on that plant. It is my theory that the plant knows that this lower leaf is in the way and that the canopy is quickly going to block it from getting any light, so it is taking this opportunity to drain that leaf of all of its goodness and it will be casting it off. When did you lose your cotyledons, early or just recently right before this started?

 

[Zooie]

I lost them early on this particular plant, I recall this because I had read some of the bro science theory on it....lol At that time the plant looked nice just like the others except they still had their cotyledons.

 

[Emilya Green]

and no other deficiency type problems since the cotys fell off makes me feel better about this diagnosis then... if we had seen a recent progression of a problem traveling up the trunk, starting with the cotys, then I would be thinking differently.

 

[Zooie]

Thank you @Emilya , I feel better also about it. Keeping an eye on them

Good morning everyone, Its 7am here and giving an update. We are 35 days above ground here and happy. The girls are doing great and looking sexy as ever. Well that's my little 2cents...lol. Gave them a bump up this morning of 4.5g/gal from 4g/gal. These girls are getting thirsty for sure, have to water every 3 days a this time. I see no new yellowing of any leaves other than the one I found. I topped some of the plants again for the 2nd time and the new growth is just starting to come in, but cannot be seen in the pictures I took. I think in the next 3 to 4 days I will be able to get good pictures of them. I like to take my time watering, drinking my coffee and indulging in a bowl of some good meds. Feeling good so far about the garden here, keeping my fingers, legs and toes crossed that the girls continue to amaze me. I know I have a difficult road ahead of me when things move to flowering. Here we go some pictures for you to see......

Looking good Zooie!

Looking great Z.
You seem to be an intuitive grower right out of the gate.
Spending coffee time with the girls in the morning is what I do as well. Gives me a chance to notice and obsess about any changes.

 

[Zooie]

Looking good Zooie!

Thank you girl friend

 

[Backyardigan]

They certainly are looking sexy, it's the ones who don't think so we don't trust! Speaking of flowering, since you're topping the gang is gonna grow bushy... you plan on defoliation?

Thank you for the compliment V......I have spent sometime in my aunties garden. She grows beautiful roses and tomatoes. Getting a few tips the sneaky way time to time...lol....

Thank you @Backyardigan Yes plan to pluck some leaves where I see it really needs it. Other than that, I think I will be able to tuck some leave in here and there.[/QUOTE]
