Well Done brother! You have her looking good again! her leaves are up and prayin again!

 

[Trapper]

Thanks, Bri

I think she's gonna improve a lot now.

Thanks, Free!

LOL, TGB But luck can be denied... Still a newb and I'm feeling particularly newbie today.

After administering the stronger feed, there is now lush green soaking into the leaves, like dye in wet cotton, expanding from the base
of the leaf where it meets the stem, outward.

I'm going to let the progress go a bit before posting pics so as not to jinx it.

We'll see if it continues but those that went with "Friggen feed it, it's obviously hungry!" were the winners! (it looks like, initially anyway)

Cheers, Guys!

Hey Trapper, the winner is the one who gets a nice plant at the end of the grow
and everyone that chipped in advice is obviously is rooting for you to have a great one.
That should be a pretty good feeling.
I don't know about gbd, but I am learning everyday and I mean specifically about growing cannabis.
I have found that it is best to pass on what little I know as I learn it, I retain it better that way and because I am given to teach non-conformists and heretics, they challenge what I am saying!
Which in turn provides ample opportunity to eat humble pie and be more certain of what I know and don't know.
We all love a plant that is extremely diverse, and once a person learns some basic plant husbandry, very easy to grow at least to average potential.
I know that when I have helped someone grow out a good plant, I feel excited for them when they achieve that end.
So that is really how I win on AFN, when I see that someone got a good grow, and I helped give them a bump in the right direction along with all the other great folks here.

Good feelings at you
GB

Yup! And hopefully if some poor newb is experiencing the same thing, they can stumble upon this
and learn from it as well...

That's how helping out once can expand exponentially when it's in such a supportive community

 

[Trapper]

I think I may have identified and solved another problem I was experiencing...

CO2...

To recap, I have a MyCO2bag Bloom Box (mushroom/Biomass deal) in a styrofoam cooler about my grow closet. It has an air pump
in the bottom of it and lines running inside the cab. The theory is that the bag fills the cooler with CO2 then the pump evacuates it
on top of the plants.

On my first grow, I hung 2 Exhale bags in the cab and since they were emitting a small amount constantly, and the cab wasn't a tent
and not sealed as well...I think it was a completely different scenario than what I have now. But I mention it because I don't think
I really experienced any issues with the bags continuing to emit CO2 during lights out.

I wasn't expecting this set-up on the second grow to be overly efficient or more successful at delivering more concentrated CO2...
I think I was wrong.

I have the system set up on a timer and the timer was delivering CO2 from the cooler for 4 minutes, every 3 hours. The four minutes
was based on the premise that it really wasn't "filling up" the cooler with pure CO2 so I wanted to get everything I could out of it
and figured 4 minutes would be enough to completely evacuate the cooler.

Lights out is from 12:30 to 3:30 daily, so CO2 was shooting 30 minutes before lights out (12:00 shot) and shooting again at 3PM,
30 minutes before lights came back on (in the dark period) and I'm hypothesizing that the CO2 I am delivering is more concentrated
than originally thought...which is a good thing as long as I KNOW that....

So, to remove the shots right around and during lights out, I changed the timer schedule to remove those two shots...last pre dark
shot is at 9AM and shot after the dark period is at 4PM. I also shortened the duration of the pump run by 3 minutes...a quarter of
the time I was running the pump.

I also moved the lines to a little higher in the cab, instead of hanging right below the lights.
I did this all last night after getting home from helping a buddy pack out his elk, and I have to say...they look a little
better this morning. I hope I can get this new set-up dialed in before to long.

Little Pic update:

They aren't solved but look to be improving.
Started giving them a little Tiger Bloom since we're almost at Day 40 and the PA has pre flowers (and isn't going up anymore)
Gave the Shiz a tiny, tiny bit of Open Sesame because she's in better shape than the PA.

Cab pics of all the kids:







PA - Day39:









Shiz - Day38:










MysteryX - Day24:



So most of the yellow is gone, but I'm pretty sure that there is either lock-out or stunted root development involved...these kids
just seem to be laboring for every little amount of growth. Something soil-based (or amendments to soil) that I just got sideways
on...The MysteryX is privately bred and could potentially not auto, I'm certainly not saying it's slow growth is genetic...because
I undoubtedly FUBARed it, but I wonder if this amount of development, at day 24, is something worth continuing to pursue...
I might cull it, do a pot with my old medium set-up and examine whether or not that was my issue.

Cheers guys, sorry it's not a better show...hopefully the finale will be pretty.

Good evening Trap.:Sharing One:
I'd say 86 the Mystery X and do as you suggested in going with the old medium.
I spy some empty airpots in that first pic

 

[briman]

No need to appologise brother! We live, we learn. Simple as that! Like Ronin suggested, cull the plant and go with your old medium. I too am having problems with a new medium. Best of luck!

 

[Grey Bear]

I am loathe to kill em, but you will do fine with the other two and hopefully be ahead starting a couple of new ones in a mixture that suits you better.

You could always try a bucket of H2O for medium!:Sharing One:

 

[Trapper]

Yeah, I could probably get 4 total in there right now since I won't be having any overcrowding
issues with the PA and Shiz.

I'm just super curious to see if this batch of 50/50 medium was to blame...I kind of suspect a couple things, it would be nice to confirm.
