Hey Racer have you been using Molasses this round?

Looks like lockout or as Mind said a Mag deficiency or maybe too much heat, if it's just on the tops it's more than likely heat.

If not try boosting the Mag a little on that plant to see if it helps, if that doesn't help it's likely lockout/salt build up and you will want to flush and let the plant re-coop a little.

Also as far as the claw thing, that's usually over watering in my experience.

Hope this helps =P.

nada doobs... i haven't been using molasses at all this grow since i had so many issues with it last grow and you had mentioned before that it could cause the ph to drop to low and cause lockout.. maybe i will use some clearex when i water them next and see what happens..

Then my best guess would be Mag deficiency or something's going funky with the Ph, leaning more towards Mag deficiency though.

yah mm.. the one dope is just about finished.. mayb take her down this weekend.. and the og and the other dope have maybe a week or two left on them.. won't be long till i'm in the green again, lol.. thanks for following along..
i'm thinking of doing some ak47 next along with ssh and strawberry dlite.. still not sure, but i'm leaning towards an all sativa grow... and those three sound nice.. what do you think mind?

The quick and easy on the pocket book answer that I know of from the Jorge Cervantes Grow Bible is an Epsom Salt spray. Used it on mine and so far it looks so much better, and only after about a week. You may be to far along to make much difference but its worth a try.

I have only heard of good things about the AK47.
ssh is good from what i hear,But Doobs thinks it overrated.
Don't know never have tried it.I am sure whatever you decide on will be killer.

Maiden this month right.

yes sir.. i think my buddy said the 11th of july, which isn't far at all.. haven't heard much from my boy other than that he has the tix and that's about it..

yah, i talked to doobs about the ssh, and she told me the same thing, that its over rated, but i don't know what breeder the one that she smoked came from.. maybe it came from ghs or some other bunk breeder like that.. i got mine from mr nice, so i'm pretty sure it will be pretty dank.. i do love my hazes though.. never grew one before though.. i even have that silver chem from cali connection, but i'm not sure how much the chem will affect the sativa high that i'm after.. decisions decisions..
i also hope that everyone who follows along with this journal has a nice and safe holiday.. mind melted pipe dream doobieous and dr gruber and all of those in the background who are following along but don't say much.. i hope that you and yours have a nice safe fourth..

alrighty than.. i took some new pix of the og kush last night, and is it ever looking lovely.. sooo many buds, i think this is going to yeild pretty good for me, thankfully.. nice tight nugs.. not the biggest colas i've ever had, but soo many smaller sized nugs that it will more than make up for it..

thanks dr gruber.. i don't really want to talk too much about the dope plants.. i have to admit that i'm pretty disappointed to say the least from these two plants.. ii screwed up my dates the other day and took one down, and i think i may end up getting maybe about 3 dry grams from that one, and the buds don't even look all that good to be completely honest.. really loose and airy, not to mention that i may end up with three grams from it..
i took a good look at the other dope yesterday, and i don't think its going to yeild much better than the first one.. what a let down.. it looked so promising up till recently.. i know i had that weird thing going on with the one dope plant that you saw in the second to last batch of pix, but i don't think it should have had that big of an effect on the yeild like that, but who knows, maybe i'm wrong and it did affect it that much, but that doesn't explain the low yeild on the other plant that doesn't have the same issues.. i'm hoping that the buds on the second dope will get a lil tighter since i'm letting her go a few more weeks or so, but idk honestly..
i keep trying to think what i may have done wrong, or what i may have done better, but i'm really not to sure, as the og looks wonderful and it looks like its going to yeild atleast two o's or so for me i'm thinking.. i just can't figure out why one plant would do so good and the other two flopped.. they are the two worst yeilding and looking buds i've grown thus far, and i can't quite put my finger on why? idk, but its definitely got me down alot.. i'm just glad this wasn't my first grow or i would really feel like a failure.
i talked to pipe dream about his dope plants, and he said that his turned out pretty nice, and his yeild was definitely much better than 1/4 o from two plants, but who's wouldn't be? lol..
the only thing i can say is that i'm sooo glad that i decided to grow that og as well as the two dopes cuz its the saving grace of my three of four months of growing these plants out..

So sorry to hear that about the Dopes Racer.
when I had a mag def I only got about 3 g's per plant, so maybe thats the problem. Do you have clones from them? If you do I'm sure you will get a better yeild if you can correct those problems. In my limited expirence Mag def seems the easiest to identify and fix for me, the epsom salts seem to work wonders for it. Maybe you could contact the Doc, send him some pictures and he may have better info for you.

Well, anyway the OG looks good and maybe can carry you for awhile.

Good Luck-dg

SSH is over rated lol, then again what do you expect from a girl who likes Indicas over Sativas?

Honestly I'm really not a big Sativa fan in general, you could switch the breeders around all day and I would still think SSH is over rated because it doesn't give me the knock you on your ass high that I prefer, and I think there are better Sativas out there personally (Then again it does take quite a nice Sativa to impress me lol). I like the whole you're so damned stoned it feels like you've just woken up and are a zombie and nothing in life can affect you lol. Especially when the Misses gets pissed lol.

The DNA KushBerry is germing, you can see the root popping out, not quite all the way but close, just thought I'd let you all know =P.

Doobs is baaaaaaaaaaaack woot!

nice.. like i said, im not too worried about it as its nearing the end of its life anyhoo's, but i will give her some cal mag tonite along with her usual nutes before i go to bed and see if that helps them out some or not.. if not, eff em, lol..

Hey there...just wanted to let you know that the cal-mag problem you are having is totally normal for the plant. It is a big pain in the ass to get rid of and it didn't seem to affect the plants to much, but when I talked to Greenthumb about it and sent him a pic...he freaked out and thought that we were ruining them. I think he overreacted a bit and it seems to be a constant problem with the strain. We never got rid of it because it showed up so late that we were about to flush so it would have been worthless to try. Now we are flowering our first mommy and she is showing signs of iron deficiency. Seems to be a fickle plant once it gets later into flowering, but the smoke is so worth it. My beautiful mommy smells like sweet juicy berries, I can't wait to smoke her.

thanks bnk.. its good to hear that it didn't only happen to my plants, lol.. yeah, it also showed up very late in flowering for me as well.. to the point that its almost silly to try and correct it like you said.. gotta love the smell of the dopes though.. such a nice friuty smell.. i am horrible with smells, but this one smells good for sure.. can't wait to try some
