Hello Guys,
Love your wealth of info you guys trow out there!
I’m from the Netherlands (Amsterdam) yeah! the place that used to be “Cannabis Friendly”
Not even allowed to grow my own medicine now, Even if i have a prescription.
On topic!
I have A Bruce Banner #3 Mother (Picked the best out of 2)
And a Tropical Coocky.
I decided to grow out the 2nd choice Mothers along with the clones i took from the 1st pick.
The Bruce Banner #3 had some wierd genetics where it creates 2 main top sites and stretch like hell when i flip em.
Talking about flipping, 4 weeks after i flipped to flower i noticed the pedestals started to turn (Not amber) but brownish.
Also i smell a musky odor when opening the grow tent.
Growing in Coco with 20% perlite 10% vermiculite and Funky Fungi (once when transplanting)
Feeding schedule is 1 Day plain dechlorinated water.
1st day dry them out, If pots feel heavy i give them another day.
Then General Hydro 3 part Mixed at 75% of recommended on label.
Is this all the result of wind stress (Had the fans on it pretty hard as some point)
or is there something else at play?
Plants to me look fine except for 1 who got a clogged dripper during my weekend away, so its showing deficiency’s, Or could it be that that’s the sick plant?
I think you mean pistols not pedestals. They can turn at any time do to many reasons. It is not something to loose your mind over unless it is do to the plant dying. A musty smell is is one thing but a stinky smell is another. Moisture and soil (soilless mixes) create a musty smell. If it smells like wet soil you are probably fine. If it stinks then you have some anaerobic activity going on. Wind burn is an easy fix. Move your fan. They look pretty good as far as feeding. I don’t really see an excess or deficiency. If all stays like this you could probably up that feed toward the later stages of flower. If you had a clogged dripper and it missed some watering that one plant may have some dead root areas. It will probably always look sick if that happened but will still grow and produce flower. Of course always keep ph correct which I believe is about 5.8 for your medium? I have never grown in coco but as I understand it you are almost like hydroponic which would mean more frequent waterings. If you are waiting two days to water, my guess is you are watering in too much. That might be why you smell a musty wetness. But like I said I am a noob at coco and you have eyes and hands on. You are the best judge.
Thanks for that awesome reply!
pistols indeed 😉
I checked that sickly plant today removed the fabric pot after i let the medium dry out a bit.
Root tips filled the entire pot, And the Coco smelled nice and earthy as it should be.
Did the same on 1 healthy plant same thing.
Ladies just woke up, So i decided to take them all out of the tent, Disinfect everything inside.
Yes PH i keep in flower around 6, My Humidity in the lung room is steady at 60%, Temperature at night is 18 Celsius during the day around 20 to 22.
Checked the ladies under a microscope to rule out some mite activity or something but they seem to look clean.
At the moment i’m putting my money on the cleaning, maybe some bacteria gathered up somewhere.
I’m Considering changing from a drip to 2x a day feeding.
Adjusting to max flowering nutrition’s w’ll know in a couple of days
Wow, your not allowed to grow? So th Lord will take awayith….. scary
If i compare it to the US where at some places you are allowed to grow your own medicine over here they lost there minds.
A doctor can prescribe me medical grade Cannabis, But i can not grow my own.
There are dispensary’s they are allowed to sell, But no one asks whom actually grows it.
Politics right
A lot of wind inside a closed space, and then pistils start dying back? I’d be checking to see if there are any rouge male flowers in there. If not it could be that it was sprayed with something it doesn’t like. Normally folier feed won’t do that, but it could, depending on what was in the spray.
I never sprayed them with anything, The darker colored one (There is another in the back) are the 2 mothers.
The rest are clones, I lowered the drip rate but i am feeding every day now, So no off days.
Sterilized the tent, And lowered the fans in the tent a tad.
W’ll see a week from now what they will look like
