Bob Bitchen's Beans Meltdown F1

It's a sickness 
Four weeks flowering done. It was Thanksgiving in Canada this weekend so I was away for a few days. For some reason my nutrients got hot while I was away. One plant was really unhappy, signs of burn on almost every leaf. The middle plant had some burned tips and the third one didn't seem to mind at all.
I flushed out the one that was bad and cut the nutrients back even further. Despite the burn they're packing the bud on quickly.

Forgot my weekly update. Plants are doing well. @curious2garden helped me get the burned plant back on track. It looks a little rough but the problem is no longer progressing. It doesn't seem to have affected the bud production. My smallest plant is kinda odd. The buds are almost completely round like golf balls. Never seen anything like that before.

Very nice LG..
Thanks! This crop has a bit of an odd smell. Kinda like a mix of cheese and allspice... not offensive, just different.

Cheese and allspice, I can only imagine how that weird combo of sents smells like
Happy Monday update. Plants have really kicked into high gear this week and they're getting fat. I'm pretty confident saying these will be the largest buds I've grown to date. The leaves are pretty messed up on plant 1, but the buds show no signs of slowing down at all. I don't smoke leaves so who cares lol.
The buds on the little plant keep getting bigger and bigger. They're weird, like totally round at the top.

Absolutely! Honestly I just want to get through this grow and get started on the pheno hunt. I switched to AN Sensi coco for this grow and it's been a disaster. So much sediment in the lines is causing things to go out of whack. Curious2garden thinks that's why plant #1 got so messed up. How a plant can burned and nutrient starved at the same time is beyond me. I'm hand feeding that one with GH Flora and the other two are still getting drip fed. Once this is done I'm going back to GH.Looking very good.
Are you getting excited to taste them yet?
The new generation were planted last night.

I had to read that twice for a minute I thought she said cheese and old spiceCheese and allspice, I can only imagine how that weird combo of sents smells like
I have been considering blumats more and more, but clogs scare me. How many runs have you done with them? Is this usual, in your experience, or are that brand nutes just really separating for some reason?
This will be my third run with blumats. With GH Flora I never experienced any issues with sediment, it worked flawlessly. I think it's the part A for both grow and bloom as well as the AN calmag that caused the problems. It feels gritty on your fingers. I suspect that the sediment was making its way into plant one in too high of a concentration which caused the burning. It almost looked like coca cola when I purged the lines into a container. After a while all the sediment would settle to the bottom and it was clear.

Just thought I’d update on my 3rd female of meltdown.
The first two ladies were cloned and chopped.
I never like doing that but just don’t have room for seed plants in rotations. But This last one to show sex( took like 12 weeks) is just a unique one.

Have you flipped into flower yet? Mine showed sex about a week after flip.
Getting near the end. Everything is starting to fatten up. Definitely the largest buds I've ever grown. I'm guessing three weeks tops. Even the dwarf plant is packed with perfectly round fist shaped buds.

Great job LG !
I’m glad they came out well for you, I hope the taste & high are on point for you too.

No haven’t flipped yet. With my setup I can’t flower any seedlings. So I have clones off all three phenos. 2 sets are going into flower with couple weeks tho!! The last female took literally 10 weeks to show sex. But she’s a sexy one.
Nice work! Plants looks great!!
I couldn't be happier thank you again Bob! Just goes to show how important genetics are. The 11 seedlings I have going are looking great too.
I'm ditching the AN nutes and going back to GH Flora for the next grow so I shouldn't have those sediment and burn issues.
That's a long haul to get to bud. Why can you flower seedlings? Just curious.
