I'm growing out barney's liberty haze and I've heard it has a few phenotypes -- where some people's goes up to 6 ft and others is more indica dominant that goes up to maximum of 3 ft. I don't know which one I have so far (I am newb), but am experiencing some problems with the liberty haze plant. I added 1/4 strength nutes (FFOF) and 1/2 strength CAL MAG on Wednesday, been watering with regular distilled water since -- gonna nute again tomorrow or Tuesday depending on soil moisture levels.
I saw what seemed to be a calcium deficiency on the liberty haze, but it appeared AFTER I'd added the nutes (about 2 days after) so I didn't want to add anymore nutes. I added just water after noticing this (as the soil dried) because I heard calcium can't be uptaken without adequate moisture in the soil. Now, the leaves perked up after a while, but now the leaves seem droopy at the top. I don't know if this is because the plant has stopped growing vertically so the TOP most leaves are smaller now -- or is it just a Ca deficiency (did not show up on any newer growth after watering)?
Please see attached pictures and help! I really do NOT want to lose my liberty haze. Can you tell from the pictures whether its a calcium deficiency. I've tried to look up nute requirements for this strain but can't find ANY information on whether or not its a light feeder.
I was thinking of transplanting the smart pot DIRECTLY into a LARGER smart pot --the extra soil should provide the needed nutrients for the plant to the end of flower right (minus Cal Mag). I don't know what else to do with this ; there's lower leaves dying on this plant too; they dry out and just die.
I'm guessing because the TIPS aren't burned its not nutrient burn so it HAS to be a deficiency correct? I also know (or have heard) soil takes 1 week to see the changes -- so since I just added the nutes on Wednesday, the Ca deficiency that showed up shortly after wasn't due to the nutes was it -- perhaps the plant WAS deficient and then it got the nutes so I will see improvement soon?
I'm REALLY hoping that it's just a sign that its stopped growing vertically because I'm out of vertical room ... otherwise I'm going to have to move it elsewhere or get a bigger tent to accommodate all plants. I really messed up by planting THREE plants in such a small space -- I just wanted different strains, didn't know they would grow to be THIS huge and now three plants are crammed into a small closet tent (not TOO small either). Next grow is gonna be in a completely separate / dedicated room with 2 1000w lights supplemented with 2 400w on the sides, LST'd to increase yield massively in 10+ gallon pots to avoid watering / nute issues etc -- this is my first grow! I really don't want to lose the plants because I don't have a good link for weed where I live - my dealer always get hermie'd weed which is TERRIBLE in potency. I'm tired of smoking crap that gives me a VERY VERY minor head buzz for like 10 minutes. I'm still about 30 days from flower, so want to fix any possible issues before worsen. I've invested almost $1000 on this (little things add up), but it's not about the money to me, it's about having some good medicine.
