Great thread UB and fellas! Im currently using a product called mycoroot which is made up of locally harvested and cultured endo and ecto native to my country's soils/climate etc.
Im using a peat mix with fine dol lime; perlite; worm castings; steamed bone meal; blood meal and very light touch...
But that's exactly the problem here I think. Switching to 'bloom' nutes with low N values and high P and K will do this to most plants. I had a similar yellowing and falling of lower leaves 6 weeks in and a fellow grower suggested i switch back to my veg nutes. I thought i would try it on 3...
I am not familiar with using coco and flood n drain, but they look over done.
They are way too young to get such high amounts of food.
I would think to try and flood them less often than 8 hours... maybe 12? They look too wet.
Good luck,
Trich
They will be fine, I had the same problem. One day without light will not induce a flowering response as long as you just carry on with the same light schedule you were running prior to the outage.
I know you can harvest more than once, I've done it. Generally the yields diminish and the vigor of the plant isn't the same anymore so the way I see it is nature made mj to be an annual so I treat it that way.
Sorry if I sounded like a douche just had a bad day. Welcome to RIU :mrgreen::mrgreen:
Are you for real? If you cannot contribute proper help, rather try not to. Second harvest? This person is not picking apples man, it's MJ. :peace:
vlokdog, If you follow the advice of growers like 'it's 5 o'clock somewhere' or roseman you won't go wrong.
Good luck
Some advice.. You need to invest in bigger pot/s, 5 or 7 gal minimum if you wanna grow proper bud in soil. Then transplant that biatch of a rockwool cube INTO the soil, not on TOP. (making sure to take the plastic off the sides of the rockwool) That is where you are having probs with droopy...
What are you growing them in exactly? I see rockwool and soil? They don't look too bad but it seems to be a trace element deficiency.
You need to gradually feed them a food with added trace elements. The droopy leaves are either from high temps or the roots are too wet, or a combination of both...
I would hold back on feeding anything for the next few weeks... The necrosis (spots) and brittle leaves are normally signs of over feeding or salt buildup or both! (If you are sure you don't have mites) For soil your ph is way too low and raising the ph of your water/solution will not help much...
Firstly, the intensity and color of your lights will have a lot to do with your problem. You cannot grow decent stocky plants with poor (shop) lights!!
Invest in proper grow lights and half of your problems would be gone. Secondly, you will only run into problems by planting multiple plants into...
Hey man. They're actually looking very healthy for only using floros! You would have more branching if you use better light.
Don't worry about the stem coloration, most of the time it is genetic influences. By the look of some of the lower leaves I would hold back on a few feedings if I were...
