This is my 2nd indoor grow, I saved one female out of 2 from the last grow. I cloned her and brought her outside. I pollinated the outside plant with some pollen from her brother with a foxtail trait. I got 3 seeds. Not as many as I would have liked, but the male ended up dying. Not enough perlite or heat inside to dry the soil out, root rot and fungus gnats. I got those cleaned up and here we are.
I originally used FFOF for this, but didn't have money for any when I transplanted. I use a mix of organic potting mix, perlite, EWC, FF High P bat guano + mycos, elemental sulfur + gypsum, and dolomite lime. I pH my soil to 6.5. I'm using smart pots, 3 liter for bubblegum, 7.5 for my bagseed.
I just flushed last night, as the leaves had what appeared to be salt buildup on them. My bubblegum looks to have a deficiency on the lower leaves, possibly P in veg, but I will post pics for confirmation. I've had the bubblegum from clone since Oct 4. She has been LST'd and fimmed once, which mostly just lead to more side branching and not so much more branching from the top cola. The bagseed is 2 months old in veg. She has been LST'd, topped twice, and FIM'd once. She has shown P deficiency for about 2.5 weeks. I have just ordered Jamaican Bat guano that is .1-12-.2 and will top dress with 3 Tbsp for the bagseed and 1 Tbsp for the bubblegum, as the pheno I have is 12 weeks flower and has been known to feed heavily. The bagseed's deficiency has either progressed, or when I flushed, I caused some nutes to lock out. I'll post pics so you can see what I mean. Thank you all for taking the time to read, and for following along.
Above: Pic 1 shows a top fan leaf from a clone that was just cut next to an older fan leaf from the bottom of the plant that shows an unknown deficiency. Please help diagnose. Yes, I've visited the plant problem page. Sorry for the crappy CFL lighting.
Pic 2 shows a lady bug trying to lay eggs on my bubblegum, does this mean I have active pests in there?! I noticed some leaves with holes but I thought they were from when I pulled a catapiller out of my room. Anyone got some suggestions?!
Pic 3 shows the bubblegum when she is about 12 days into my possesion, she had been topped and LST'd and had a few fan leaves trimmed when this was taken, she has since been transplanted.
Below: Pic 1 shows the deficient leaves (sorry about the quality, still asleep when I took it) right above the temp/humidity gauge and in the center, underneath the canopy.
Pic 2 shows deficiency in the bottom left and middle of the picture, taken about a week ago.
Pic 3 shows the deficient leaves last night after flush, and Pic 4 shows them taken today.
Again, these are lower fan leaves, my pH is 6.5, oh and my temps and humidity are 32% low, 64% high. 71F low and 88F hi. I water with silica, Unsulfured Molasses, and carbon filtered water. I foliar feed with kelp meal. I fed a tea once during veg consisting of EWC, guano, kelp meal, silica, and molasses. The silica and molasses are only every other or every 3rd watering, I alternate, to give it a chance to be used, and to create diversity for the roots. I also use neem oil occasionally for the fungus gnats since we had a good wet week of rain here and they've been breeding around the house. Saigon Cinnamon works WONDERS on those fuckers! They hate the smell of it and leave your plants alone! A nice dusting around the base of your plants will prevent them from breeding in your soil if it is too moist. Good drainage is important!
PS These smart pots grow some retarded root structures!
