i have a question, ive gotten several clones for my first grow, i had gotten them from a source that is pretty new to growing as well. well my planst have severe purple stems, when i had recieved the clones, my buddy said he has some timer issues, and the nutes he was using is dif then the nutes im using, im sure that has a lot to do with it, im sure they are just severly stressed, but what causes purple stems? also i have them in 5 gal buckets with rockwool, it seems the RW stay wet and have yet to dry up completely, i may go 4-5 days inbetween watering due to the heaviness of the buckets, i didnt wanna over water them. but assume that they need food/watering more then once a week. last thing, ide say half of the leave on my plant only have 1 leaf, most of them never split into mulitple leaves, its very weird...ive done lots of searvhing for my problems but am having no luck, im gonna try to puch these through the end of the grow and start resh, i now have some seeds grwing and they look amazing....but any ideas on all of my plant problems, thanks Ben!

Hey all,
Just wondered if anyone could help to identify the problems im having with my kalichakra plants. Ive just sexed them and from 10 got 5 fems and one possible but as you can see the lower leaves have started to yellow. Were in 10l airpots before switching to 12/12 then i figured they may be rootbound so i double potted them. Hardly fed these babies due to repots and have had no end of problems with them. Not really sure what im doing wrong. Watering when dry roughly every 3-5 days depending with 6.5ph. Fed once with plant magic 5-3-3 on one occasion and biobizz alg a mic a couple of times. Im just mindful of overfeeding due to these strains being "nutrient sensitive" as mike from mandala would explain. Leaves are very dry to touch on bottom leaves, yellowing turning brown then dying, starting to move up plant. Also i had noticed befor repotting that the top growth was very thin and much lighter green. Are these babies locked out? Some guidance would be much appreciated

Ha, yeah fraid so UB! I gave them one watering of plant magic bloom, didnt think it would be strong enough to start this off though being an organic formula. My mistake, ive fed them since with the grow formula hopefully this will correct this. Do you reccomend a flush UB? or should i just continue to feed with n formula for a couple more weeks? will this correct itself or continue to spread?

Go with a high N food and watch. Flush if you want. I've found that the "aw shits" with cannabis are usually with you until the end, on the existing plant material that is.

Yeah tell me about it, i seem to have had no end of "aw shit" moments. Im gonna stick with the N formula, the ratio is 5-3-3 so hopefully this may somehow correct the imbalance and try to flush as a last resort.
another quick question for you, do you recommend the use of silicone additives? Ive been trying out this one which claims to thicken stems, give higher yields and kill bacterial pathogens etc, but in your experience are they any good or just a waste of $?
Thanks

good one UB, and cheers for the advice. I thought id leave the plans for a couple of days without checking them so id see a definate improvement/deterioration and i must say after watering with the grow nutes the chlorosis hasnt spread any further and they have definatly grown both in height and bushiness. lack of N maybe caused this at a crucial stage. They are looking much healthier.see what you think:
Ha ha well its a good job hes still taking the time to answer all of our questions because we can all learn from all those years of valuable experience
Just out of curiosity they are still just showing small pistils and were flipped two weeks ago could they take longer to flower if put into 12/12 too early?
If so when would i go about changing the nute schedule to a more flower ratio?
Thanks again for your help

There is no such thing as too early , its gonna finish the same time no matter how long you veg. (depending on the stress levels)

wait till you see flowers before usin a more flower ratio. an even after that dont forget the plant still needs N all the way through flower.

My neighbor's pasture for horse is between our houses. Never thought of this. I guess I'll have to steal some poop.My horse manure works good for me an my girls love it! Also excellent compost from around where my horses eat their hay from the round bales.
I also have a Llama--wonder what that would do for fert.? Better read up on that one. LOL
