Leaf damage? Dtw coco

what are your temps and rh%? I have run coco dtw the last few years, using several different nutrient lines and MOST calcium deficiency's I have had have been due to the environment/vpd being out of whack, especially for the light level the plants were getting. For example the air temps dropped to 68-70 in late veg, with 60% rh due to the heater going out, but the plants were still getting 650ppfd and developed some calcium spots. This is because calcium is moved through the plant with the water, so if your transpiration slows so does your plants ability to move calcium. there could be plenty of calcium in the feed still but its not gonna do you any good if the environment isnt right.

Theyre doing much better, the light had to of had a lot to do with it but the rh is low due to being in flower room, 35rh and 65-71F 24/0 lighting.

What does this look like? Week 10 chopping end of week. ec 1.1-1.3 and ph 5.5-6.3. Maxi bloom and pool shock. Temps have been very low, 61-67F mostly. Had some light damage so dimmed light to 75% a couple weeks ago.

I then dimmed the other side to almost off since no plant is there atm. So that made things more cold as we go through coldest days of the year.

Was a bit over worked and cared less for plant in last month and about to chop. Wondering what caused some of this. Its going to be my only strain I work with and just want to improve next time.

There was a time I was sick and had the room hotter so it was too hot in the tents. About a month and half ago. Fed 4x a day to good runoff.

Same question as above but now with a nanner. Week 10 flower chopping saturday. Is it stress or genetics? Its just one. Its not over ripe is it?

I just took a trich shot video lots of amber which is a first for me. Havent pushed it this far after noticing no more white hairs. About a week and half two weeks just sitting no white hairs.

The tops been falling over everywhere and been propping it back up and its on one of the branches that fell upside down.

I read up a little on it on grow weed easy. I can harvest a tad bit sooner and fogute out if it was enviorment, nutes.

Another question, does using maxibloom with N make cloning harder or should it work just fine? I supposed I cloned in high N media only at this point just wondering if I should use mother plant solution on mother, I have the solution.

Spreading this post a bit for quick response and more of them. This also has the problem description info.

I thought I found my keeper to mother but cut weed down to find no seeds but a few weeks later at chop right now, see quite a bit of seeds.

Genetics or grower error? There were light leaks and disturbed it a little here and there. Also light stress and some feeding related burns, not too bad.

Found the nanners. So this must of happened pretty early in flower? Is this bad genetics or my fault or both? Really was loving this strain and still can because its for rosin. It was on the very bottom larf closer to the drip halo. Is it a male flower or bud nanner?

The nanner in the close up was hanging out the stem I think so asking if its a male flower too.

4 weeks into flower about 7 weeks old 1.1ec but ph was suddenly not being measured right and not notice until it was waaay off. For like a month. Fed 4x a day. Maxi bloom n pool shock.

No dryback. Can ph being off take a while to show and appear gradually? What about if you just now fixed the ph and kept in range just few days ago?

Is that why stems are completely purple? Strip lights are pretty weak. If this is ph related, could that cause nanners even if the leaves dont look all beat up?

It's a nanner not a male flower and there could be heaps of reasons she threw out the nanners. It's usually a combinations of genetics + environment but then some strains will throw them everytime no matter the conditions. But if the environment is the cause you can def run her again without the nanners.

I've been running a strain for about 2 years that threw a couple of nanners on the first 2 runs but then after that no problem at all. I gave a clone to my friend and she threw heaps in his setup. So can go either way. I would say that if you really like the strain run it again and see what happens. Just keep an eye out in the last 4 weeks of flower and pluck any off that might pop through.

It was just two spots below and one easily visable on the top where the marshydro was blasting at which I think youre the one who was just saying earlier to raise or dim light for softer ppfd.

I totally messed a few things up I just wasnt so sure because I thought when it says ph, light intensity etc that the plant would look beat up along with nanners.

Mine wasnt too bad looking at harvest but did look like it was going down hill slowly.

But thats great to hear, biting finger nails wondering how 2 plants in each flower tent will go, all eggs in one basket perpetual. Its the best rosin ever so the seeds werent too bad just the fear of losing potency and frost from seeding early.

I will continue a small bean hunt anyway as one suggested. Trying to stear things in right direction since its like that, if goes wrong youre back to buying or quitting smoking it sucks.

Bump, anyone can guess what looks like the issue? Its progressing. The media and roots below sticking out have green algae. My last plant in one gallon was fine. Is it related to being in a cup?

I think build up is happening, need to runoff longer maybe. I had it runoff just a little bit up to now. Is it just from past mistakes?

It must be root bound because suddenly its doing this at feed. More root mass thats for sure. There was a couple days recently that the reservoir stunk up needing pool shock sooner than I added.

Solution cloudy but got better and smell-less but the algae grew notably during that time. Usually I get no algae.

Is being an auto anything to do? What stumps me is here is a mother plant in a one gal just chillin fed 2x a day looks fine. I upped the cup to 6x a day more runoff.

Btw before forgetting to mention, theres a circle cut out of fabric pot to line the cup so coco dont ruin the condensate pump but has many large holes.

I just got done flowering two large plants with minimal issue at the very end otherwise good all through. This plants just tanking.

That cup plant I was suggested needed super low EC and a slow drip all day pretty much. I think that was the answer, makes sense. Super small root ball.

Next plant in question. Kongs krush and watermelon ultra mother plants, how do they look? Noticing 2-3 tip leafs everywhere which means its not happy no?

About 4 months old one gallon pot. Fed 6x a day as ita hooked up to the plant above which harvests in a week. Was going to set the timers back to 2x a day.

.8 EC maxi bloom ph is accurately monitored with gh teat drops to mostly 6.0ph. .5 ec of solution is from tap. Lights at 25% and raised 2-3’ not really caring just trying to not burn them and raise power bill.

.3gs pool shock per 10 gallons 3ppm chlorine. Wave maker. Clean/clear solution.

The right one kongs krush was neglected purposely, it wasnt needed much, even almost considered junking it, like moments away.

I let it grow into the light and the ph mismanagement I mentioned happened at one point. Its been getting solid treatment since I found value in it again and was going to re mother it bonsai.

I wonder though how to keep the new mothers happy or even fact that if I flowered right now I might get bad results, something off in my regamine?
