You have serious nutrient burn AND deficiency issues. ....
With respect; This is a community thread and NOT a Q&A thread for problem grows. Please feel free to participate but if you introduce yourself first others will feel better about helping you.
tsboss, yes, cotton candy can be a very tall plant. I know it sounds scarey but snapping the stem (pinching till you here a "pop", then stem bend over) as Moebius suggested is an effective way to keep the top from getting into the light while keeping the rest of the plant well fed. Here is an example of some C99 that went crazy tall on me. I snapped the stem till it hung over at about 12" from the top. The top lifted back up on it's own to about 90°. The colas formed anyway, it stayed out of the lights and still got some nice yield. At the time it was the hardest thing I'd ever done to a plant.....now I'd do it in a heartbeat.
You should go here to find what ur problem is. You have the best knowledge of how you were feeding and how much
Thats the problem with organic concoctions and potions. Unless you've made it yourself its extremely difficult to deduce what you're actually giving the plants, its made more difficult when the manufacturers gives their products names like 'Aphrodites Asshole' or whatever they call it.
You gotta supercrop that stem man. Watch a few videos on you tube and learn up on the process, its the only way you're gonna get out of this situation...
Yes, I have had this happen before with other strains. I don't believe it is strain dependant as I have never grown C'99. It didn't effect growth any and did save some time as I only had to wait for the 2 branches to get where I would have topped it above the 5th node.
Yeah, I'm definitely not complaining, the plant took care of the first topping itself!
This will be really interesting Doc? Remind me what you're breeding .. Plushberry x ????
I'll be crossing the following:
Doc D Thanks for running this experiment, I've wanted to do something similar for awhile, but the soil is so easy to start in.
Watt, I'll definitely keep everyone up to date. I'd take a picture, but we've all seen a clone starting out in a solo cup
I didn't PH because I just really wanted to see if I could get away without having to lower. PH'ing plain water, even with just cal mag, never seems to stick. It's always bouncing around when you swirl. It will state 6.2, but swirl it around and it goes down to 5.6 or 5.7 and climbs back up. I just never feel like I have it locked without tapping some nutes in there (which is what I wanted to steer away from with the OC+). I added some roots excelurator to help boost root growth. If I start seeing some lockout, I'll make sure to PH them properly.
