Yes!
they look vital, though a tad stripey there too...those leaves make me think of chlorophyll water, that's what I'd be watering them with hehe

 

[mattyblade1]

Yeah mate roughly 3 weeks, shes about 30 days in and breeder says she finishes in 45/50 days.

Tidy looking mate. Nice work

 

[mattyblade1]

Not happy with the buds underneath closer to the net, they're just so small. I have had the light around 2ft away as somebody recommended, but I just don't think its getting to the lower buds properly, so I've dropped it down to about 1ft away from the tops. Going to keep an eye on it, for signs of bleaching, but after 12 hours with it that close she looked fine this morning.

Have you cut the leaf back to fuck mate ?

 

[mattyblade1]

Woa look at that hairy girl - broad bud time hey
Doesn't seem much bothered by the horrid things you're doing to her -- but then again, she should be used to it by now

Boom!

Yes Cali. HNY Cali. What do you think is the cause?

 

[TheStickMan]

I'm experimenting with light distances from my plant as well as the actual footprint of my light I'm gonna really train these as last grow I got a lot of small stuff I'm gonna trial fit my screen today I'll be back with pics

I always pushed it to the limit distance wise, I was able to have my 400w HPS with the heat spreader around 4/5 inch from the tops with little harm.

It's been a fucker this grow, she was fine and then all of a sudden the pH just started messing up, it hasn't helped me being away a lot. I've been working away far more than usual, even when I thought I'd have a good couple of weeks at home over xmas and new year, but nope! lol

 

[calliandra]

Yes Cali. HNY Cali. What do you think is the cause?

oh, I think when leaves start to lose their chlorophyll it can be due to lots of things (revolving around pH, Calcium and Magnesium mainly, but not sure, I've forgotten again sorry).
But what helps the plant get back up to speed is chlorophyll water (=handful of young leaves chopped with water in mixer) haha

I've done plenty of defoliating mate and she's done a lot all by her self lol crispy dead leaves

Aw man I was pulling your leg
Yeah the being away part... we really should get back to those mobile growbox plans

Sounds like I could do with some of this potion!!

when the leds get too close my leaves start curling up like a canoe having 2 plants is a bit different but if my estimates are correct they should fill in the screen faster in spite of your ph. issues I'm quite envious of your bud development I trial fitted my screen & it's still a bit early these are growing about as wide as they are tall I'm feeling better about this grow now

Haha yeah I need to kit the van out definitely for mobile growing!
But my main plan is trying to win the lottery so I never have to work again and can just become a full time gardener, but it just doesn't seem to be working, I don't know where I'm going wrong!! lol pick me 7 numbers out please Calli between 1 and 59

Your lasses are looking nice and healthy there Herk. Fingers crossed we both have a better second round with the new lights. My issues come down to neglect, needed more time spending on her and the fact its DWC, I reckon a RDWC would be more forgiving, better control, but all I can work with for now is just normal DWC.
One thing with this grow is the amount of broken off shitty roots floating sround in the bucket, that I can only imagine contributes to the drop in pH. There isn't much info on the net about this strain, but on a different forum someone has said that this strain has a shitty root structure, which mine has as well, its just a big scraggilly mess, compared to the normal Captain Birdseye bushy beard rootzone.

 

[horribleherk]

decaying roots can lead to all kinds of weird shit I reused some rock wool slabs that had roots in them I never could get things to program & they stayed puny as a result but I think you've pulled this one off

Its weird mate, it's as though she likes the low pH.

I bet you have all the equipment that you need for RDWC aside from maybe a few fittings. I bet if you could tune in your water levels and reservoir temps on recirculating system, your yields would be fucking insane. Plus you can plumb up your res outside your grow space. That's always a bonus

Should I up the Cal Mag??

 

[mattyblade1]

Then you've done all you can. Anyway she's looking fine.

 

[calliandra]

no lol - I don't know how to feed nutrients like that and I have no idea what ails your plant specifically! I was just saying that chloroses can be caused by a multiude of different issues, pH, which you seem to have had on the menu yourself,being amongst them
