Evening all,
Well... getting a super late start this season. I had a bunch of killer strains planned for 2017. I got a cutting from a m8 of mine I stupidly didn't quarantine and my babies in veg ended up getting root aphids. I have no one to blame but myself for that. Either way, I tore down everything, sanitized, and had to start fresh. Ended up having to go out of town for family issues as well which delayed the re-start further.
After everything above... I ran into some serious nutrient lockout from a combination of things. I believe it was a PH issue, combined with some over watering, and intense exposure from HID lighting on the wee ones. The plants basically stopped growing entirely, got super yellow/brown, looked absolutely horrible. I've since corrected this issue, adjusted PH, replanted into larger containers, and dialed my MH down to 300w instead of the 600w I was running. I had a good distance from the canopy but I suppose the intensity was way to strong even high above the plants.
Popped 15 beans (all BOG's gear)
5x Bogglegum
5x Blue Moon Rocks
5x Lifesaver
15/15 Germination (100%)
1x Mutant (I killed off)
1x Twin (still alive)
Medium: Happy Frog
Nutrients: Cal-Mag, Guano Teas (extremely light dosage)
I'm an OMMP grower here in the state of Oregon. I grow just for my wife & myself. I have 14 plants left, still looking very rough but definitely improved over where they were at. The plants will be going out a bit later this season because of my rough start/s. I'm hoping there are no more hangups. We had some nice sun for a change here in Oregon so I've been gradually introducing the plants to this natural sunlight whenever possible. I'm expecting to plant outdoors at the end of the month, or possibly early next month. We still have a lot of cold temps & rain rolling in during the coming weeks.
Wish me luck guys! I've had a few accidents + bad luck along the way, and I'm hoping that's all behind me for the remainder of the season.
Cheers,
Kas
