Here we are a 5 days later. A4 pheno just wants to grow tall. It was a good 3 inches taller than the others. Not really going to work in my setup and height restrictions, but culling the mother plant is really challenging.

If ones to high you can supercrop(think that's what it's called) it at the higher parts, so you just pinch the stem on the branches that are higher till they bend a little bit. Hopefully that will let the other plants catch up height wise. The taller one will get bushier with more tall side nodes.
Just look up supercropping it's a great way to control height and promote side branching

I did some lst with the two main colas last night. These are only 1 gallon pots and they started 12/12 when they were just 8 inches tall. I don't expect them to get too tall. When I figure out the best pheno, I'll run a scrog setup with a couple of those pants in larger pots.

Compost tea started today for Thursday watering.

3 gallon water
2 cups EWC
3 tsp fish fertilizer
3 tsp kelp meal
1.5 tsp seabird guano
1 tsp unsulfured molasses

I was considering adding recharge in my compost tea, but decided I will continue that with a separate watering following the compost tea schedule.

Mother tent is real crowded and conditions are not ideal. Guess it will be a little stress test for the ladies to see how they handle things. Still aggressive growth with weekly pruning to keep the canopy away from the lights.

At lights on tonight I noticed the tallest cola on both A6 plants had fan leaves that were clawing hard. All the rest of the plant growth was fine. All the other phenos did not have that, just A6.

I'm currently growing some Gelat OG clones from 2 different mothers i cloned and 1 pheno also has clawing leaves on some plants. My PH, EC, temps and humidity are all ok and just can't figure out what it is.

You got any idea what it could be and if it really affects the plant? I just started flowering 2 days ago so i am unable to see if there is a difference in flower rate?

I haven't done anything different in my watering/feeding schedule. The rest of the plant is looking solid, and it could be any number of different things leading to clawing. It's possible this pheno is a slow eater and there is the start of nitrogen toxicity, but that's just a guess. I'm not too concerned at this point.

That could be my problem as well i guess by starting to soon with biobizz grow while using new light mix soil that already contained enough. Will be feeding pure water now for a week and from there start using bloom while being in week 2 of 12/12.

Just make sure your plants are happy before flipping!

I already flipped them a few days ago so no turning back from here. this i day 4 where i am feeding just water 500ml a day on 7 liter pots and will start feeding bloom nutes from day 8 so week 2 12/12.

Color is a bit dark on the bottom leaves so that could explain it as well. They all grow about 1-1,5 cm a day so i guess it won't be to bad.

Growing in 1 gallon pots is a bit tricky. At 3.5 weeks of flowering, running into some plant stress issues.

About a week after giving the compost tea, noticed some yellowing on A4. Then the lower leaves were really light green/yellow.

A couple days later.

Thinking it was nitrogen getting depleted during the stretch, added 1/2 strength 511 Alaska fish, just to give them a little boost of nitrogen. However, the leaves are still slowly yellowing and dying off.

The A6 and A12 clawing is getting more severe.

You sure it's not a side effect of the Nitrogen toxicity? I see the clawing became really worse and those leaves usually become yellow and start to die if it takes to long to be corrected. Once i noticed the leaves starting clawing i started flushing right away for 6 days and it never became worse. This is from today, 3,5 days after the last picture.

Did you flush at all once you noticed it? If not what kinda bloom nutes we're you using after? Some of them still contain a big portion of N which means you never solved the issue.

I gave the plants their second compost tea Sat morning and then went away for the weekend. No 511 fish fert this time. Came home Monday and had to wait for lights on to check on the girls.

Tonight will mark 40 days. Should have another 30ish to go. Still going with a weekly compost tea and slowly increasing the bird guano in the recipe. Along with a weekly recharge dose a couple days before the tea. A7 pheno stinks like concord grapes. The rest aren't producing a ton of unique smells just yet.

Plugging right along. Plants are still stressed and I'm thinking it is still related to the small container size.

A7 stinks like Concord grape and noticed signs of a slight 'blood' pheno while trimming the mother plant. It isn't as pronounced as some pics I've seen that expressed this much stronger, however it's still pretty cool.
