Septoria, deficiency, neither, I don’t know?

Thank you sir, getting close!

Awesome looking ladies Rama!

 

[Rama777]

Thank you so much, so far so good! I credit you guys, the intelligence of the plants and I suppose myself just a little for making sure that they have good soil, proper moisture and a healthy environment ;)

It’s kind of insane how much I enjoy this! On my farm, I always have what amounts I imagine to a hundred thousand or more plants. Like take a bed of arugula. Those plants are so freaking densely planted. There are probably many thousands of individual arugula plants per bed. I tend to the BED of the arugula, not the individual plants. I suppose peppers and tomatoes get more individual attention. But even then, it’s just not the same. Providing so much care for just 4 plants is a whole ‘nother experience and one that I am fast falling in love with..

It does keep the days interesting!

Welcome to the team man, seems we have someone who has gotten bitten by the cannabug

Speaking of, I decided to put together another tent :))

It’s a 2x2. I have absolutely no room for anything bigger. Though later I will possibly add another 2x2 in another corner of the room. Anyways, I’m thinking of a few ideas.

1 - veg 4 plants for around 4 weeks in 3 gallon pots, or 3 weeks if from rooted clones and then move into the flower tent, transplant into 7 gallon pots, veg for 2-3 more weeks then flip. I would train them the same way as these plants more or less.

2 - veg 4 plants for 6 weeks in 3 gallon pots and accomplish this by taking the main tops that are trained out to start curving around the pot so that I am controlling not only top growth but also horizontal growth. Then, transplant into 7 gallon pots, move to the flowering tent and let them settle for a few days then flip.

3 - Veg 4 plants for 6 weeks and do no training besides topping so that the growth is focused upwards to not overfill the horizontal space and then move to flower and flip, IF and only if I know I’n working with a 2x max stretcher.

4 - Veg 9 untrained 3x stretching sativas for around 2.5 weeks in 1-2 gallon pots then transplant to 3-4 gallon pots, move to flowering tent and flip.

Are these all plans that are within the realm of achievable!?

Options 2 and 3 are my favorite ideas, though they probably push the limits the most.

 

[Rama777]

Okay that’s fun stuff to think about but actually I have a question that actually matters right now :)

My calmag bottle (I use RO) says to use 2-3 teaspoons per gallon. I never have used 3 although this strain is said to be “calmag hungry.” I’ve alternated between 1 and up to 2 teaspoons. Then I add my nutes if I’m using them to get to 825ppm. I worked up to that.

My RO water reads like 10ppm or less. I hadn’t checked the ppm after first adding calmag. I’ve now discovered after doing so that 1 teaspoon of the calmag brings up the ppm to 350. Seems insane to even suggest 3 teaspoons on the bottle no? Bastards. Good thing I haven’t done that.

Anyways, I now know that they’ve mostly been getting 350ppm of calmag. I think just once they all may have gotten roughly 700ppm of it.

Is 350ppm calmag with every watering for “calmag hungry” plants appropriate? Definitely worth noting that my veg nutes have calcium and magnesium in them as well. But, I had asked them about the calcium and magnesium content and they said for an allegedly calmag hungry plant that it is normal to add some extra.

So, my intuition is…if 350ppm is an appropriate amount, I’ll continue using that during watering only. Then, because it’s also in the nutrients already, when they get fed, lower the initial calmag dose to say 1-150ppm before adding nutes.

These are ideas without any basis so please steer me in a better direction if my guesses are off!

Also have a couple ladies scheduled for a feeding tonight. They still have some downward curled leaves. Also the teensiest needlepoint browning of tips here and there. It’s mostly on the midsection of leaves, so probably not related to any light or wind stress. Top growth is in the yellowish phase again, which I believe signals rapid growth. I’m gonna wait to water until I get some advice about my question from above concerning the calmag ppms and scheduling. Also not sure if I should skip giving them nutrients, forge ahead with full strength or back off a little. Sorry for all the questions :/

Toss a water only feed through there to get those ladies eating the little bit of extra n down there. It’s totally ok, it happens. Sometimes it’s good to break a nute regimen to try to balance out your medium a bit. Strain nute dependency changes slightly from cultivar to cultivar. Or cut your grow nutes in half for a feed or two. Either or. Don’t worry too much about it unless it gets worse. I dig how thorough you are with them.

 

[Bdubs]

They are fine! Keep up what you’re doing. Look at my grow. Curled tips and a slight burn on the tip is primo!

I'd agree with me good mate the Captain on this one!
Slight burn and curled tips is not primo it's over fed!

 

[Rama777]

Shit, I will definitely read your replies but I need to show you something else that I don’t like the look of one bit. Picture coming

 

[Bdubs]

Ok, if it isn’t progressing you’ve pushed her to the limit without burning her. If you were lower than optimal, you’d have no burn and no indication you are pushing the plant to the limit with available light.

Inward folded leaf, droopy leaf above it on the same branch. As I was messing with the plants yesterday I noticed this branch top felt kind of weak and limp. What’s the prognosis?

 

[Rama777]

Most humid day of the grow if that means anything.

 

[Bdubs]

uh huh. What am I looking at? Healthy plants getting what they need with the right color. Little bit too much water when you feed.

 

[Porky1982]

Ya plants are fine. Just a touch to much N.
Let em grow and stop worrying about them!

Knocking on the door of a nitrogen tox. Water it up homie! Not there yet, but you will be. That’s those leaf points that are looping down are telling you.

Don’t get technical dude. This plant is going to be fine. Don’t mess with it. Stay consistent.

DARK green leafs and glossy is nitrogen deficiency. Aqua blue hue is progressive N toxicity.

You are solid!
