i agree man that plant is dope bro. freaking huge man, anyway man i gotta say i think u might have calcium deficiency or some shit. have you checked ur runoff ph lately? besides that only thing i know that can help is cal-mag stuff thats got calcium-magnesium only to help out. good luck hope this helps bro
Wow! I totally forgot about calcium and magnesium! I think I will just have to do that next time I water! I think I will use epsom salts to some degree for that magnesium and I will figure something out for the calcium. I had checked on the plant and it seems that the problem is only affecting the same few leaves... it just looks REALLY bad. lol Sadly, I don't think that using Epsom salts is an organic measure, but I would rather have a living healthy plant than I would have soil that is teeming with micro life. I will have myself a little vermicompisting bin set up next to the grow area so that I can try to recycle some of the leftover soil and root fragments for next time as well as a good organic fertilizer for all my subsequent babies... Oh and as another future plan I think I may have to just take cuttings and flower the other Johnnie. She is getting way too big for her breeches and I would be lucky if I could keep her in the little side box that she is in. Just huge! I haven't focused on her much, so while there is some LST work, she is still kind of tall... I might even have to train her down just to get the damn beast out of the box!
No trichome formation as of yet, though. I am hoping that happens soon, though I am sure that will not happen for the next couple of weeks. If mine are even half as frosted as Cannabizness' buds were I will be making tinctures with all the yield with the exception of the 2 months' holding on bud that I will have to save and cure. I am prepared for the first few bowls to be quite harsh, but the tinc will be well worth it, I feel! I think 4 ounces will make me happy.
Yesterday, the plant barely could greet me for all the droopiness, so I watered and fertilized yesterday with about 3 quarts of aged tap water and fish emulsion at full strength. This is the first time I have used full strength on this particular plant. I will check in a while to see how she is doing with that even though I saw a bit of perking up just before I closed up for lights out.
Also, I have been clearing out the dying leaves... They are not just coming off in clumps, but I do feel the need to just pick off the dried ones and the ones that are obviously in the dying way. I take it as a positive sign that none of the leaves that I have pulled off are moist or wet or soggy.... My temps may get a little high without painstaking adjustments, but my humidity is good and low, especially good and low for the South!
Well, I kick yet another test's, ass and I have to prepare for clinicals and start up my afterschool ritual of Smoke 'n Study. I must confess, "If it wasn't for the weed, I would never have graduated from nursing school." Here I am, staring graduation in the face and examining my last scraps of regs before my home grown shows me some love.
Sorry for the ranting, doing well on those hard ass tests puts a little extra pep in my step... Good luck with your grows!
