What's going on everyone? Been a while since I have posted, so let me get everyone up to speed...
Today is the one month mark on my Sensi NL and Skunk #1 Auto grow. They are in
OF soil, and I have been using the Fox Farm trio pack along with Voodoo Juice and Piranha. The Skunks' all started flowering around day 20 and the NL's began flowering around day 25 or so. I have been feeding at about half strength, and my last feeding was 1 tbsp Big Bloom, 1tsp Grow Big, 1/2 tsp Tiger Bloom, and 1/8 tsp Open Sesame. I also watered today, with only Voodoo Juice and Piranha added. I switched over yesterday from my iPower 600w with a MH lamp, to my Solis Tek ballast with a 600W Ushio Higro Lux bulb. Everything seems to be doing pretty well, except when I went and checked on them today, I had a few plants (mainly the NL's) begin to show "the claw" on the top leaves. Now I had heard on autos, giving them N through the beginning of flowering was beneficial, and I am beginning to think I may have over done it. When I shut the MH off yesterday and pulled them out, they were a very dark green color. I have always ph'd the water and nutrients, and I top dressed the soil with dolomite lime a week ago.
I just wanted to get you guys opinions on what I can do about this problem? Today was the first day I noticed it, and it was also the first day of switching to HPS. I am not sure if I should flush the ones that are affected or just feed them straight ph'd water for a little while and see what happens. I am trying to avoid stunting them, as to not decrease my yield. If you guys have any thoughts and or suggestions, please let me know. It would be greatly appreciated! Thanks again guys.... Here are the pics...
Northern Light, day of switch to HPS. Showing the claw.
Skunk #1, probably the tallest of them all at around 22".
Another Skunk #1, this is on is probably the lankiest of them all. Nice flower sites though.
Northern Lights, showing the claw the worst, see pic with HPS on below.
Sorry for blurry photo, NL. Stockiest plant, most indica dominant. Showing signs of the claw almost as bad as the one above. My favorite plant of them all, lol.
Group shot of everyone, disregard the little guy in the back, hes been stunted and a run since day one.
NL showing the worst clawing out of all of them.
Same plant as above, close up. Showing bad signs of the claw on the top leaves...
This is another NL that is also showing signs of the claw, not as bad as the above one, but it is definitely there.
Skunk #1 with a few of the fingers of the leaves starting to claw.
Group shot of the entire room, with HPS on.
Flowering sites on one of the Skunk #1's.
Another shot of flowering sites on the same Skunk #1 as above, this is the lanky one.
Flowering sites on the tallest plant, Skunk #1.
Here is the tallest Skunk #1 of the lot, very branchy.
This is the very lanky Skunk #1, has good bud sites however. Might have to tie her up.
And here is the biggest of the NL's. It is also showing the claw, this is a very bushy girl with a ton of branches.
So as you guys can see, the NL's are definitley being affected more so that the Skunk's by whatever is causing this. If you guys could please let me know what I can do to correct this problem while it is early, so I can get on without stunting them too bad. Should I flush them, just give them ph'd water for a few days in a row? Just give them ph'd water every few days (normal watering cycle)?
This is my first autoflower indoor grow, so I am very happy to have made it this far relatively problem-free. In the past, I have been a photoperiod green house grower (all organics), so all of this is new territory for me. I would be devastated if I ended up losing my girls over this, so I am trying to stay on top of this issue and get it resolved as soon as possible.
+Rep for any and all help, I am in desperate need of a solution to this problem. Thanks very much for taking the time to read my post, and I greatly appreciate any help!
