Sick Iranian G13?

This plant looks like no other I've grown. I don't know if its leaf shape is genetic or caused by something else. It's a Iranian G13 from seed in a 5 gal DWC. RO water, 4 Air stones, res @ 60F. Botanicare cal-mag, grow. pH set to 5.6 twice daily. I was having a problem and I tried backing off the nutes. Ever since I backed off the nutes my pH has been moving +0.1 every 2 hours or so. Roots and res are clean and no sign of rot.

I think you're spot on with the excessive cal-mag. I made up a new bucket which should hopefully remedy the problem.

I try to avoid a lot of the he said she said on the forums but could you indulge me and elaborate on your disapproval of Dr. Greenthumb? I've emailed them several times and always got a quick reply, even on weekends. Could you also throw out a few breeder recommendations that cater to short season outdoor strains.

Thanks.
 
heuheuheu, meet cres. cres, meet heuheuheu. cres has dedicated many years to breeding early finishing strains. Have a little looksie for yourself and do a search for people on the forum growing his strains. Plus, he sells through the AFN seed shop!
I dont ever like to push anyone into my gear. I would much rather let the green speak for me. Besides I know nothing about heuheuheu strain needs.

I know who he is. I honestly wanted the answer to my question and I also wanted to see if he would hype himself. An old timer once told me not to believe the hype. ;) I've had some of your stuff sitting in my basket for a couple months. Think I might pull the trigger. In order of importance I'm looking for: Sept finish, mold/pest resistance, highest (quality x yield). The Early grape and bluebonic guerrilla caught my eye.

In your DWC is your PH swinging so bad you must PH correct daily? Down? What is the PH of your water? and what are you using for PH down? and what have you replaced the cal-mag gro with?
I was originally growing a WoS auto for my first DWC. It was going great and the pH was rock solid. I had a pretty bad cal-mag deficiency so I had to up it to 10ml/G. It hermied on me so I tossed it outside and started the IG13. I thought I was running into the same issue. So I did the same thing. My pH was swinging from 5.7 to 6.6 in 24 hours. Just calibrated my blue lab and adjusted with GH up/down.

I dumped that bucket and made up a new one with 1ml/gal of cal mag. I'll update tomorrow.
 
Problems..?....:wiz:
 
I'm sure I read something about seeds having to be tested for 100% auto. I'll have to take a look, might not have been you personally that said it but I'm sure I read it somewhere.

Beaver your missing the point mate,the point is cres has never said his strains are autos and AFN is not just a 100% auto forum

I have nothing against cres whatsoever it shouldnt be taken personally. Nor TBM do I have a problem with early finishers and honestly I think its great that you advertise them as early photos as opposed to autos and state things such as "1 in 15 will auto" Maybe it was another user that said the seeds had to be tested 100% auto and not a mod so I may be wrong. Personally I'm just getting a little confused when I go to the website and having to check whats what. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

What you read was that our Autos will be for sure autos and have to be proven to be autos. Nothing about not providing photos or early finishers.
Just that the buyer doesn't have to worry about any of our autos not auto-ing like the many other crappy autos put out by other Banks.
100% proven with the tests available for viewing.

That's exactly what i read, my bad, my misunderstanding.

i dont know much about breeding or seeds as im rather new(oh but i will)..but what i do know is actions speak louder than words,all the reccomendations i have gotten for seeds were right on...the seeds i got were a pleasure to grow and not once did any of the mods give me any info that leads me down the wrong path,we all have to put our big girl and boy pants on when doing the seed buying and research anyway ya got use a little common sense,and maybe im outta line but for a min there it sounded like you had some kind of beef with afn...like tbm said man ya better check ya self....alll the info i have learned here i could not put a pricetag on(and thet do it for free for the most part:crying:)just though i would put my two cents....
IF YOU DONT LIKE WHERE YOUR SHITTING FIND A DIFFERENT TOLIET!!!!!!:crying:
