so if i add some dolomite lime do you think it will even it out ? i didnt realize that MG was so high in nutes already.....as far as lighting goes, you think i should just run clf's all around them ? instead of the shoplights ? what do you think about m humidity % ?

oh i also cut slits into the cups after the soil dried alittle

Orange bud is pretty stinky. It is skunk after all.

And yes. You need ventilation. Air, Light, Water, and Nutrients. You cannot do this leaving one of those crucial aspects unattended.

the leaves on my plants feel very dry??? is this an early sign of a problem? i transplanted them into 3 gallon grow bags yesterday they are 2 weeks old and i only gave them one 1/4 strength dose of nutes so far

I have a plant i've had in veg for about 1 month and its now on its 7th week of 12/12 It has MANY flowering sites but my issue is that hairs are turning brown now and the buds havent grown or filled up yet... the plant is about 20% hairs turned brown.... and none of the buds look smokable... although crystals have began to grow... but no dank smell??? Any thoughts anyone please?

Had what looked like all female plants, now two look like they have pollen sacks developing 6 weeks into only at the very top of the plants, could be from a few recent power outages and irregular light schedule? hate to waste two pretty developed plants, they are next to one female that isn't showing and signs of pollen sacks, can i pluck them off or will I end up with a seeded crop?

my bottom leaves on my plant are starting to loose their color and turn yellow, and getting some brown spots on the top leaves just a bit not much, caught the brown early i guess. what could this be? i gave it superthrive like 2 days ago and its in FFOF

Sounds like your plants are hungry. Nitrogen and Calcium are in high demand during weeks 4-8 of vegetative life.

If you have some nutrients to work with I think it sounds like a proper time to feed once and see how the plant responds.

Do what you can to knock all of them off. If more keep coming you'll need to cut them down to preserve the rest of the harvest but I had this happen before and I managed to get all the sacks off. It's a lot easier when it is a "natural" hermaphrodite from the bottom to the middle, and all female on top. Other herms, the kind with male flowers and female flowers mixed together, are pretty much impossible to manage and have to be removed.

ive got some veg stuff from botanicare and liquid karma, should i use them both with some cal mag in the water and protekt? also i super cropped them and when they bent over the plant kinda broke but is still alive. only thing is, at the tear it looking a little scabby

10ml of the Botanicare "veg stuff"
10ml of the Liquid Karma
5ml of Cal-Mag Plus
1ml of Pro-Tekt

That should be within reason (EC <1.0) and you could feed that once without damage. I'd recommend offsetting feedings with waterings to ensure you don't get any build up.

my babies are starting to get yellow leaf tips during seedling stage should i worry???????? yellow cotyledons. running off 14 cfl's in a chamber, then moving to room when veg.

Yellowing cotyledon and yellow leaf tips is not a good sign.

Can you provide more information about what they are growing in, how often you are watering, what the temperature is, what genetics they are, any nutrients you've used or added or mixed in, and the pH of your water?

Please be as specific and detailed as possible. "Some cheap potting soil" isn't going to cut it. We need brand names and numbers to diagnose the issue.

You're probably just over-watering (too frequently).

Anyone have anything to say about the above question?
Also wondering if you can have "too much" perlite mixed in with your soil? +rep

how long after the hairs show does it take for your bods to fill p and wrap around the stem??? because mine have been shoing for about 4 weeks now and theres no smokable buds really... 7th week into 12/12 btw

hello mr ganga , i have been reading your threds and seem like the only one to help . i have some UK blue cheese, its my 1st grow so i have made many mistakes but also i have learnt a hell of a lot. i have just two ladys, i got them when 3'' tall (clones) they are in Canna CoCo medium and i use only Canna organic products including Canna CoCo growing solution A+B, Canna Rhizotonic, Canna Cannazym. they vegged very well under a 250 watt CFL in a medium sized closet equipped with fully reflected interior , well heated (78º) with a fan blowing in cool fresh air from the bottom and a extraction at the top. Vegged for 5-6 weeks (1st mistake , too long too big) I did train them though , i topped twice and tied down the main heads to grow out as well as jus up.. now i'm in a different room set-up with a 600 watt hps lamp again 78º extraction at top and now two fans(1 top , 1 bottom) 12/12 light cycle still using Canna products but now including Canna Boost for flowering and on my 3rd - 4th week at the PK boost stage (Canna PK 13/14). All was sweet till a few days ago when the heads stopped growing an new leafs were deformed lime green. i thought i reconized this as root cramp so i quickly repotted to a larger size. After a few days they started to grow again but the new leafs are still deformed . my ladys are over a metre high now (44'') . do you think they are still sorting themselves out from the stress of repotting? everything else about these bitches is perfect, they are the thickest plants iv ever seen , mor like bushes rather than 2 plants . Mr Ganga i made a rookie mistake an pls forgive me.... due to their (unwanted) size i panicked about lower growth an introduced a 125 watt CFL hanging down on one side and a 250 watt CFL on the other .... wrong spectrum of light , white/cool blue not white/red like my 600 watt hps . but i noticed red hairs on some heads way too early so i removed the lamps. they stayed in there between 5-7 days and now the red hairs have gone an all is white.. but will this have any genetic affect on them?? pls help bro - your the only one lol . btw i lern from your threds .... Phaze (england)

i will try an get some pictures up but wanted to see if you still reply to these threds before trying to confuse myself with trying to load pics as im on a PS3 no PC lol.
Oh, an when i say rookie ? i mean , i ent a complete complete complete rookie . just experimenting as i have been included in many grows before but never from start to finish on my own..
Thank you in advance - Phaze

Welcome Phaze,

Don't worry about the knee-jerk reaction of repotting. There's nothing you can do about it now but try to learn from the mistake.

With the new single bladed mutated leaves I've seen this happen only one time with my own plants. I think it happens when there is a frequent dark period interruption but not long enough to really revert to veg. Make sure that when it is dark, it stay 100% completely dark the whole time. I'm talking about: not enough light to see your hand in front of your face sort of darkness.

If the issue has a nutritional or pH cause then I think that could be resolved by flushing your coco. The PK 13/14 probably wouldn't cause this issue because from what I can remember this is more related to the nitrogen in the plant than the other elements. Nitrogen is crucial for healthy protein and hormone manufacture. Canna Coco A+B carry more nitrogen than any other element and if you had been running just A+B and Rhizotonic during that long period you could have been over feeding without enough run off.

A quick way for you to know if it is a nitrogen issue is to remember back to early flowering, the first week or so. Was the plant VERY dark green, almost to the point of being this blue/black/green sort of shade? That was probably an imbalance of N to PK that started a while ago which you are now just seeing the effect of.

You can take the best course of action as you have the most information in your garden. If it is a lighting issue, and you know it, then take care of that. If you think it is nutritional or pH then you can run 3 gallons of pure water per gallon of coco through the planter, drain it clean, and then feed again with this mixture:
1.25ml/liter, 5ml/gallon Canna Coco A
1.25ml/liter, 5ml/gallon Canna Coco B
0.5ml/liter, 2ml/gallon Canna Rhizotonic
2.25ml/liter, 10ml/gallon Canna Cannazym
3.5ml/liter, 15ml/gallon Canna Boost Accelerator

Depending on the starting EC of your tap water this should take you to around 0.8EC to 1.0 EC with a balance of nutrients in a ratio of 2-3-2 with 2.5 Ca and 0.5Mg. The magnesium is a bit low in the mixture so if you were to add anything you can use a pinch of Epsom Salt to up the Mg and Su levels just a few ppm. Don't over do it.

That would flush the media clean, and start to rebuild your buffer. Stick with that high phosphorus mixture for a while, coco provides enough potassium naturally and you don't need the nitrogen at the moment. Keep an eye on your magnesium and your pH and you should be good to the finish.

i'm sorry to jump on your thread but i'm having the same problem.......bottom leaves are almost yellow and the top leaves have brown spot in the middle of them and the tips look reddish brown as well.... I'm using nova bloom, floralious, liquid kool bloom, and pineapple rush. The plants go through a gal of nutes in two days so i thought i was over feeding them bygiving them nutes that much so i flushed with nothing but ph bal. water and it seems to hav gotten worst. I'm 5 weeks into flowering and the buds are coming along nice. I dont want my plant to die this close to harvest. should i go back to feeding them every two days??? any info would be appreciated!!!!!
