Not real happy with this strain. Prolly more my fault than anything.... but still. Lol

Something is causing some sugar leaves to bend down. I don't believe it's a overwatering symptom (being in a sip), but I believe it's too much light.

Any guesses?

Anytime the leaves look unhappy I always back off the light a little bit.

Any way your pH is outta wack? What have you done recently and when did you notice these sugar leaves?

I haven't really done anything different. This strain did the same thing to me last time I flowered it. It was in dwc though. I don't believe it's ph. If it was ph, wouldn't there be other signs?

I first noticed a week or so ago.

Do they stand straight out at lights on? If so heat humidity maybe? I dont think Id be worried. Strains a different.Whats next up?

Microbes have alot in helping disguise chlorosis and necrosis initially. So classic pH lesions don't show for about 1 week.

Both grows of this stain were done in sips?

Nah, they stay like that. I feel it's strain dependent, because it did it in dwc too. Same light though. I was just wondering if anybody had seen it before. It looks different than overwatered leaves.

My last plant did that- some leaves curled down 90 degrees.

But it kept on building buds.

I figured letting it ride it out was probably safer given my lack of experience than trying to “fix” it.

Can’t argue with the results (‘cuz I get too stoned smoking it to argue. Lol).

But man, was doing nothing nerve-racking.

Hey guys- Two of the three clones I transplanted to earthboxes arent looking so hot. The Sour Diesel was looking hungry for magnesium prior to being transplanted.

The Apple Fritter was a bit pale prior to transplant and the wedding pie has been fine before and after transplant. New growth appears to be OK on the Diesel, but I’m not sure. I sprayed epsom salts twice on the diesel and added 5ml of cal mag to my water in the rez (using RO). They haven’t really begun to drink yet-still on their first rez. I think once they get moving into the new soil and drinking they will be happy but want a second opinion on if anything needs to be done immediately. In hindsight I would have watered them in with a compost tea. I have had success using this exact soil mix in a large bed. (Coot mix using high quality local worm castings)

Sour Diesel this past Saturday just before transplanting showing signs of mag deficiency -It was in a one gallon of Roots Organic and had not been fed for 3 weeks and was getting only RO water. (Ooops!)

Here is the Apple Fritter (left) and the Wedding Pie (right) immediately after transplant. Apple Fritter appeared a bit paler than the Pie on the right Red stems were due to an overwatering right when I got them 63D81901-767D-405B-9F15-480921D7C832.jpeg

Here they are this morning, 5 days later.

I appreciate all feedback and I’m sorry to muck up this awesome thread with some noob plant troubleshooting issues, but I‘d really like the opinon of this group.

Side note- this cut of Sour Diesel is the real deal old school cut from the Albany NY crew. (Mike Klopp’s cut) If anyone would like a cutting I’m looking to share this far and wide as I’ve been searching for this plant for a long time.

Have a great day everyone!!

big 6 has humics, no? Isn't that supposed to be better watered in?

Its chelated through humics according their site. Probably is better watered in but they have a foliar mix listed and my plant did seem to settle in after I applied but could have simply been timing or placebo effect.

Are the in the same space/lighting as before transplant? Might just be getting used to the new environment, I wouldn't throw too much at them right away. Maybe even back off the light some if it's brighter/closer than it was before.

Yeah, they’re in the same tent temps and RH hasn’t changed. I’ll cut the light back a bit while they’re acclimating. It hasnt been a week yet so I’ll be patient. Really hoping the diesel pulls through this magnesium issue.
