I have now clue what in the world one of my plants are doing. When I do a res change it goes crazy. Some of the leaves stand straight up and slowly flip upside down. You can literally sit and watch it happen. They are going on day 8 of 12/12. My set up is dwc, Water res is ph 5.6-5.8, water temp is around 69F, humidity 48%ish, room temp 71F, PPM 1048 (I start out with filtered water with ph 7.8 and ppm of 80is and adjust before changing), I use 600w Full spec LEDs, I had a scare once with roots getting brown so I use 2ml of H2O2 per gallon on res change (once a week), I use air stones, soooooo now I’m just wondering if it’s normal for my plant to pitch a hissy fit or am I doing something wrong. In the pick the one leaf is starting to do it..... uuhhgggg

I currently have a Black D.O.G. strain that is doing that. I notice it does that when I dose heavy with H2o2. Not saying you are dosing too heavily since 2ml per gal is quite low (assuming its 3% from drug store). Just something I've noticed on certain strains when I change my res and dose with H2o2 a little hard (like 12-15 ml per gal). Nothing I'd stress over though.

I use the kind I got from the hydro store. It’s medical grade 35%. He suggested 3ml per gallon and said some people use 5ml per gallon. I felt that may have been over kill so I just did 2ml. What’s crazy is that it’s just one plant. The other does not do this at all. Besides that the plant is super happy. Growing like a WEED! Lol I just thought it was crazy. The plant is a hybrid orange fruity pebbles.

I have a animal cookies that started flipping the first 2 big fan leaves part way through each day, my take is its a very expressive pheno, when it had enough energy input it would turn the leaves facing down or to a back wall depending on where it was for awhile then flip them back and stand out and go. It is my pick out of the batch, i look for traits like these that are a little different then most, imo usually a real stand out winner has somthing different about it, somtimes the real shitty ones are the standout different ones though

Ha that’s funny. All I could think was she was being a temperamental little be*#otch. But like always, I am OCD so I didn’t want to be killing her.

Is the FPOG cross an Obsoul33t strain? I was chasing down some FPOG x Orange Tahoe seeds for a minute.

It’s the FPOG x Rare OJ I think it was originally forbidden farms maybe. I just got it since it looked pretty. (Yeah that’s the woman in me) It’s my first DWC and I got clones so if I killed it I would not have been devistated.
