Grow Room Onyx/Himalaya Blue Diesel Auto's - small tent

[Bixit42]

Yeah they have gotten a more pale look the last week, but that happened as the soil was running low and i was waiting to feed.
After that i have done 2x feedings the last 5 days with around 2ml/1.5l total.
This resulted in a light nute burn on both plants, displayed by the yellow tips.
The bleaching could also be from the HPS, as some parts of the plants are 30-35cm from the lamp now.
I have seen some light burn spots on certain leaves as well.

I know the dose seems horribly low, but during my last grow with photoperiods which had a lot more mass,
they would burn at anything above 2ml/1.5l. Recommended dose on bottle is 5ml/l, which i can only assume
is ment for a photoperiod 1m+ tall plant. Not to mention the fact that everyone tells you to use 1/2 or 1/3 of recommended label dose.

There is a product called Canna PK 13/14, which you are supposed to use mid-flower for extra phosphorus and potassium.
Well i figured molasses would pretty much do the same thing, and cost me one third as much, so i went with that.
Will have to try adding some of that asap i guess.

Thanks for reply!

Edit: Oh wait, molasses is the same as the Booster products, not PK 13/14. My bad.

Howdy, Bixit Subbed up- Your Ladies are looking good!
I agree with blue, they look a bit hungry. That said, if you had a transition from soil food to nutes, they might be playing catch up
Best to you!

Hey Waximus! Welcome
Yeah there were a few days without any available nutrients, but hoping the defs will slow down now that i have started proper feeding.
Will see in a few days!

Back with another update and in need of assistance!

I have pretty much got the Onyx dialed in with the flower feed now, lower yellowing and the pale color on top seems to be slowing/stopping.

My problem now is with the HBD... Even after increasing the flower dose to 2.5ml/1.5l, an Mg def seems to be heavily in progress.
Yellowing lower/middle leaves with green veins have gotten progressivly worse the last 3 days.
Tried to find some epsom salt as a quick remedy, but can not find a single store here that sells it.
All i have is finely ground dolomite lime and more soil... Top dressed a little dolomite and filled the pot back to the rim with soil.
Will have to order some epsom salt online, but will this work as a temporary fix?

Nice work Brixit42!:tiphat:

Thank you jack!

Here is day 45
Onyx left, HBD right


Starting to see some crystals! I think both plants still look pretty pale, but i have now upped my feed to 3.5ml/1.5l and keep seeing new nute burns after...
The buds on HBD are looking a little scrawny still, probably from lack of nutes. Hoping they will gain some more weight the last 20-30 days.
Really wish i could afford a bigger setup and some proper products, this all-in-one feed is letting me down :c
Even if the defs keep on going, i'm going to guesstimate 20-30g total harvest, which is a decent return for the investment anyways

You're killing it with those plants!

 

[Bixit42]

I'm guessing that means you think they will pull through, jack? haha

Mmmhhh dem crystals...
Onyx is def filling in that main stem nicely.
Smell of HBD is like blueberries mixed with strawberries and gasoline
Tried chewing on the branch of a leaf that i cut off, and it had a sweet taste to it hahah.
Let's hope the taste is in the smoke as well!

Sorry about the lack of updates in this thread, been busy times lately.

Anyways, here we are at day 59 of the Onyx/Himalaya Blue Diesel Auto's.
According to short stuff website, they should be complete at day 65, but i am going to let them go a minimum of 75 days before chop.

Onyx left, HBD right.


The Onyx seems a lot more hardy than the HBD... The buds of HBD are kind of just foxtailing and not blowing up.
0-15% humidity and 29c average probably aint optimal conditions for the girls. Got some bleaching and burns, but not much i can do at this point.
Even with the foxtailing buds, the HBD main stem is starting to fall over.. Well, guess that means she has a little weight at least
