Just a little update this morning.....



:( My soil ph seems ok afaik now. she's close to 90% dry id say though after watering sat midday.

Also bfq what do you mean by thinning her out over the next while....not sure if i get what your saying, removing more leaves.....that'll just stunt her again and delay it even more wont it..?

Last dose was 1 teaspoon Nutes, npk 10-52-10, along with 1.5teaspoon AJ into 1/2 gallon the morning the problems happened, i think on thursday, last watering was sat morning. Last i did molasses was probobly that monday or tuesday before, with a teaspoon molasses into 1/2 gallon

Today she does need watering, weight is almost empty as she feels.

She was flushed with 1 gallon on that thursday night with a tspn of AJ, and yes probobly in a hurry, and she needed no more AJ either, so mistake 20.

So many mistakes i see myself doing....that hindisght is just retarted.

Bust my book out, i'm really not sure what to do, seems that she's suffering from Zn deficiency, little leaf, and chlorosis of the intervarial areas, because of the K lockout, or Ph. I did buy some ground domolite lime, could not find hydrated lime as suggested to neutralize ph, and add some Mg back, which was because of the ph imbalance that looks similar to Zn deficiencies. thats about all i can find.

I'll cut the nutes back and drop the apple and molasses.

The nutes are expert gardener. I'll probobly stick with these nutes till i can get some fox farms, etc. So i'll just cut her back extensivly, as she was doing great for the longest while with this stuff, then shit hit the fan.

So what do you suggest i do for my watering today?, 1/4 teaspoon strength nutes into a 1/2 gallon?

Thanks for you help, so helpful :)

personally, i think i would want to get the nutes stabilized... since you have things out of whack some how. from here on out i would make sure she has pH'd water and give her exactly what the instructions on the nutes say.... unless that soil is still a pH mess. if it is, i would stick to just pH adjusted water (set properly, do not try and compensate for the soil's pH) until the soil is in order.

as for that lime, tough call... that is usually intended to be added to the soil mix before growing starts... i have no idea what sprinkling some on the soil and letting it leech in with water would do... you might get some vicious pH spikes in various parts of the soil.

i *think* i would try and stabilize it just by watering... but i KNOW i would do a lot of research on it and see if maybe i could find someone else who had gone through this and fixed it.

Db, shit hit the fan thursday afternoon......watered her in the morning, she started showing curling like a rams horn that night, i flushed her then with 1gallon, and the next day the blotching started.

Well Db suggested at 1/2 nute strength, and bfq you suggested plain water, so i'll do 1/4 strength, and just let her slowly get back into order.

I got one of them little analog ph meters with a needle in it, and i have to stick it in sorta at an angle so i dunno if thats throwing off the reading or springs inside. But it says soil needs to be slightly onthe muddy side, so i'll stick it int he soil, dry as is, the water her, and let it seep in and hopefully it'll read......hasn't came up yet for the soil, except that actual chemical added soil test for ph i did the other day. As for phing my water, i'm just sticking the probe into it and letting it sit for 2mins then reading. ~6.8

no, i suggested plain water if the soil was still a pH nightmare... if the soil is close to where it should be, i suggest following the instructions on the label ;)

I know its recommended not to use MG nutes but i grabbed some other nutes from a friend to try.

MG general purpose stuff, 15-30-15. I got about a 1/2 cup or so of it to use if need be. No money for the time frame either so it'll have to do for now till i can get something better. I figured it'd be better than the 10-52-10 i have, as Db said it was too much P. So the MG is a little more moderated.

I'm rather liking my journal though so far, i need a bit more organization and better documentation.

MG aint the end of the world... dont let the haters fool ya ;)

dont get me wrong, it isnt great, but it also isnt like gasoline.

my opinion is that MG is a "hot" fertilizer so when us over eager stoners use it we roast our plants unless we can manage to be chill with it.

Just a little update this morning...

She seems to be stretching upwards more, i have about 2.5-3" of vertical room left.

Top



Still some curling going on. But the large majority seem to be pulling straight again. And the Zn def is slowly backing out.



Close up vertical of a head.



How's she looking?
