THE SEARCH FOR MIZ DUBYA
(We've gone Bushy!)


Well, we may have a little problem. Looking at the pics below you'll see the main cola. Nearly everything has stopped. Vertical growth, bud production, nearly everything as far as I can tell, for the last several days. She had a growth spurt after upping the nutes to 85% then just stopped dead. The cola does not look as I expected. Individual "pinky-finger" sized spindly buds are growing off the main stem and are not "clumping up" as I would have expected. She's put a lot of effort into sugar leaf production, but not flowers. This plant has been weird from the get-go, so maybe she's just expressing her jacked-up genetics. IDK.
Or am I just being a spaz?
Any ideas??

Sorry for the crappy photos. I need a better camera.

UPDATE: I've moved the lights back and repositioned them to keep the heat off the main cola. She's getting a bit "leathery" up there and I'm out of room now that she's 5'10" tall!! I did a res change for shitz and giggles and the root ball has GONE INSANE!!!!!! It has tripled in size, completely filling the bucket since the last res change a week ago!!!

WTF?? Is she just very slow or is her "clock" all messed up? After a 60 day veg and 40 days in bloom and she's just now getting serious roots? All in one week. I hope this is a sign of better things to come. :grin:

:peace:

Miz Dubya is a VERY hungry and thirsty girl! As much water as she's drinking, I may have to start overfilling the res a little! :grin: She's also become a little piglet on the nutes! Another 300 ppm down since yesterday. Add-back tonight is 1.25 gallons of 5.9 RO water as well as 10 ml Micro, 20 ml Bloom, and 5 ml of CalMag for 1270 ppm. I wonder what would be a good maintenance level of CalMag would be? Looks like the way she's acting, slowing down, daily feeding will be required.
:pighug:
I've moved the lights to the wall/ceiling joint (horizontally mounted) in the tent and they now shine at around 45 degrees downward. This gave me another 8-10 inches to play with and took the heat off the main cola. Finally, some flower fill-in activity overnight and today on the lower colas.

Sorry for the crappy pics. I know what few of you wander in to look need something better than the cell phone gives. :grin: Hopefully, I can get a camera before I start the Dragons. Yessiree, I'm starting them as soon as this grow is done!

What a weird plant. Now she's stretching again. I've never seen anything like it. The tops are stretching and the blooms are scattered all over making them look like cactus needles. But since nobody seems to be looking, asking questions here is absolutely useless. Guess I'll just slog along and keep going out of shear boredom, but this log is becoming a waste of time. She may not be as pretty or as interesting as others, but she's mine. Jeez, I sound like a Dad with an ugly kid!
:dunno:

Stretched cactus tops.

Hi bro,


How many watts of light do you give now ?
I would recommend to give some foilar feeding!
How much air blowing trough your bucket, are the airstones still free, because can get clogged!
Give here some PK13_14 and some bloombooster and rootstimulator!

I recommend to get some good genetics next time!

I have to agree, they do look a bit strange. Don't worry, someone will come take a look, I'm sure someone has an answer. If others are like I am, I have so many grow subb'd that I lose track of some until I notice a post about it. I don't get notices of updates on my sub'd threads so unless I go look for them, I can't keep track. Also, I thought mine had stopped upward growth also b ut I've seen another spurt the last couple days. It might be the last hurrah so to speak. I'm taking it as a sign their in the final stretch for sure.

It looks like the buds are just starting to from, have patience and just keep feeding this ugly sister and she will reward you!
 
Oh she's fed well and has 800w of HPS, but she's had jacked up genetics from the get-go. This was, as the title says, a training grow for DWC, but MAN she is long-winded! Stretch, bud, stretch, bud, STOP! (for 5 days!), stretch, bud, stretch...ad nauseum.
I'm running out of room! :grin:

Sounds like a problem we all should have! :pighug: :Sharing One:
