New Grower Hog's First Grow

Day 48/45: Muchacha/Forum Stomper +Strawberry Nuggets x Pink Panama
  • Day Temp: 78 Humidity: 68%
    Night: 72/71%
    Light: FCE4800 16" @ 100"

    Raised the light up 4 inches today. Seeing if I was light stressing the plants. Muchahcas new growth is yellowing, thinking maybe still soil ph issues or over abundance of a macro locking out a micronutrient. Just gonna keep an eye on it and troubleshoot my way through. SNxPP I think I was light stressing as it is tallest and it leaves are all tacoing and twisting weird directions. It is stacking on tons of small frosty nuggets though! Forum Stomper is looking great! Thanks for following along

    Day 49/46: Trouble Brewing
  • Well the Muchachas are getting sicker. More yellowing and weak new growth. Forum Stomper also got some brown spots and leaves getting lighter in color. Gave just plain rainwater ph 6.5. Planning on trying a foliar feed with humic + kelp and trying to get a good ph reading on my soil. At this point I'm leaning towards thinking that an abundance of some nutrient(s) is causing a lockout of others :wall: Frustrating but ill get it figured out.

    Day 50/47: Before Recharge
  • Temp: 80° Humidity: 63%
    Today I added Recharge to a 50/50 mix RO and rainwater, Ph 6.5 and fed each plant about .5 gallons just after lights on. They're not looking great, but hopefully this will turn them around. Thanks for following along.

  • No change in the Muchachas, might be getting worse... just giving straight phd water. Forum Stomper looks like its deficiency has stopped getting worse and has had some noticeable bud growth. SNxPP is about the same, some bud growth think but Im having a hard time telling. The buds that are there look nice. Things aren't going well, but I'm packing in a lot of learning this first time through. If the Muchachas keep deteriorating i may chop one, let the other one fight it out so i can learn from it, and pop a couple new seeds.

    Muchachas are in bad shape
  • So, I think I may need to start considering cutting my losses with the Muchachas and starting new seeds. 52 days in and they're not improving. Still yellow, I can't see any nee calyx development, and they seem to have stopped drinking... It would suck to chop them, but not a total loss as I've learned a lot from them. Not doing anything yet, just thinking the time, space, and energy could be better used if these won't amount to anything.

    The Muchachas are hanging on. Gonna give them some Epsom salt with their water per @DDubs suggestion. They've definitely slowed way down drinking but are still reaching up for light, so I'll do my best to get them healthy again. The issue seemed to occur right when they went into flower.

    I've started the Mephistos on FOOP bloom nutes. Forum Stomper was showing some sign of deficiency and SNxPP hadn't shown any noticeable bud growth for a couple days so I decided to see how they reacted to 1/3rd strength feeding. FS looks great and SNxPP has started stacking some more on its buds.

    Day 53/50
  • Not much change in the Muchachas. Forum Stomper is getting lighter green, not sure if it's a deficiency or just natural life cycle at this point. SNxPP is slowly packing on little s buds.
    Any thoughts or advice would be appreciated

    Day 54/51: Back On Track
  • The Muchachas seem to have turned the corner! They're at least drinking again, throwing out pistils, and starting to form buds.

    Day 55/52
  • Headed out of town and leaving the girls for about 36hrs. They got a good watering last night and again this morning with Recharge and Yucca extract. Should be fine until I get home. It will be nice to see how much they grow. I poke my head in and look at then so often its hard to tell from day to day how much they're changing.

    Day 56/53
  • They made it through a day and a half just fine. Maybe a little extra thirsty, but no worse for the wear.
    Forum Stomper has a strong pinesol/incense smell. Strawberry Nuggets x Pink Panama smells like fresh berries! The Muchachas are trucking along now.
