What causes the plant to do that?View attachment 1070289

Good Morning;

I would start by checking and keeping an eye on your ph. Should remain around 6.0 for this stage.

Second i would suspect an early mag def. Check your cal/mag level and balance. Ca should be twice mag.

Here is the guide I use to help me determine what I am seeing.

Candy Cane Update:
Original germination 17 Nov 2020.

Since my last update on Dec 4, the candy cane crop went to almost shit... no scratch that; total shit. Here are the two that did not just die out right.

Not sure what did the deed because all "looked" and tested good. Obviously, something was not.

So I scrubbed everything and started 4 more on the 17 of Dec so we are at just about 3 weeks in. As usual, i took photos with and without flash.

Lets see if i can manage NOT to F these up....!

The young'ns look really healthy!!

Thank You. I have changed up my starter mixture in the germ/seedling rez. I am currently using only the two item previously mentioned; containing Cal/Mag in a 2:1 ratio (cal/mag) and nitrogen. Oh, and hydroguard. The rez is chilled to a steady 70 degrees PH is 5.6. I have a two foot long "grow" light and an 18 inch T-5 for light.

The important part for this cycle is the now twice daily "watering" by using 5 mil from the rez for each plant. We started with one feeding every 24 hours and are now up to every 12 hours; so far so good, Roots are just now beginning to emerge from the sides of the net pots.

UPDATE Grow #8 Candy Cane Harvest & Cure
YIELD: 1/2 lb. ☹

Oh, I wanted to share something too. I had plants look droopy and had signs of K deficiency, and couldnt figure out why. It ended up being my ph pen giving false readings, even after calibrating. I'm still a rookie, but I wanted to share anyway. Looking great!!

i have had the same experience. I ended up buying a couple of testing solutions so that i could double check the accuracy anytime i have doubts. Calibration solutions can be found on Amazon.

At least this will get me through the next harvest.

Happy Farming

Candy Cane Update: Grow #9 Week #3
Original germination 17 Nov 2020.

Still growing well. I started adding the PS Rootamania at the rate of 1 mil per gallon. There are three gallons in the germination system including the chiller.
Again only four plants, with & without flash. Maintaining PH 5.8-6.1 Temp is a steady 70 degrees.

Candy Cane Update: Grow #9 Week #4
Original germination 17 Nov 2020.
Reseeded 17 Dec 2020

Well today marks the one month mark into this grow. I must admit these seem to be doing a lot better than the last couple of grows. These are from a new order of seeds so maybe it is genetics.

 

[TheBioMaster]

Superb!!

Nuff said.....

My next crop of White Widow (Auto)

 

[AnselAdams]

White Widow Auto - about 3 weeks to harvest. Maybe

 

[Madmax]

Looking great Ansel.very lush and stacking nicely..

 

[AnselAdams]

this is the Auto Trainwreck the left is about a week or two of harvest. The one on the right just entered month 3 of a 90 day cycle. I discovered that my 3 year old lights are at EOL. I have ordered two of the new KIND 430's but . . . " they are in a container somewhere waiting in line". Purchased on Black Friday and they won't get here until mid-January at the earliest.... heavy sigh

I trimmed up the youngin'; here are the before and after photos.

Before: "I need air. . . , my pits are getting sweaty"

AFTER the haircut: I can breath!! FEED ME and Let the stacking begin!!! I'll trim/prune and generally clean-up the rest of the lower branches after she recovers from the trauma I have inflicted upon her.

Finish in sight!!!
