Joe's Summer Outdoor Grow Log

**joeblow123** · 07-07-2012, 09:58 AM

I am a little late as usual starting this but anyhow...
Any feedback/comments/suggestion welcome

This is my third outdoor starting from clones
Soil - Fox Farms Happy Frog
Water - Tap settled in cans to burn off for at least 3 days before waterings
No nuets yet
~10 weeks old as of this post

week 7

week 8 - roots are starting to show on the bottom of the 1 gal containers. I transfered them to mostly 10 gal smart pots filled 3/4 of the way with Happy Frog. Still no nutes added

week 9 - no sign of problems with the transplant

week 10 - growth seems slow. notice quite a bit of leaf curl. some buds have brown spots? any thoughts? is this normal?

So I am ruling out neut lock as they are not currently getting any besides what is in the soil. Heat is not an issue it has been mid 60s - mid 70s. I am only water once every five days or so the soil has been retaining moisture well. Not watering until it is dry at least 2 inches down.

I am thinking about starting some nutrients next watering cycle. TIA for any feedback.

first off, why are your plants flowering already this early?? Brow spots can be mold/bug issues. from the looks of it id flush all ur pots with ph adjusted water, and see if that doesnt help out.

the brown spots i'm seeing just look like withered pistils right? they are pretty far along in flower so a shot of nutes would help them out. they look kinda dry to me but those air pots do dry out more. otherwise you just got some early flowering weed that looks good. maybe some cal mag for the spots

leaf curl is typically heat stress.... typically....

brown spots... are they getting larger? (spreading) Necrosis

I have no idea why they are flowering. It seems way too early and the same thing happened last year. They get full sun almost all day. I thought that flowing should not kick off until there is at least 12hrs of dark. pissing me off...

Is cal mag still needed if i am using tap water? i let the water sit for at least 3 days before using it and then adjust the ph between 6.6 - 7.0.

I have been keeping a close eye on the moisture and it seems like the waterings have been sufficient.
