Hey! A bit overconfident bout' something you dont have the details about here. mr...

100W HLG QB 40 cm above the canopy. I actually calculated that the light is sufficent so Im right here and you are simply wrong. Its as simple as that, but thnx for the input, sunshine;)
I think stunted crisp there would not agree it is sufficient.

Im now pretty much 99% sure that the problem is fixed. Will post a pic or two tomorrow. Just to be clear: Everybode who came with the helpfull advice of feeding more and water more was right, but I kind of already was aware of that. The problem was that I did water enough, fed em well and gave them a good light. The problem I was trying to find out of was what on earth I assumed probably in the root zone made the plant unable to eat right?

I should have given a better description of the problem. My bad.

Anyway. Thnx for all the advice you gave me. Its highly appreciated even if some maybe comes in a bit of a rough wrapping;). Love and peace to you all of ya!!!

Looking really forward to this next growth(s) btw. I got the one on the pic and 11 more plants. Its 5 different strains all from Purple City Genetics ((GMO * Strawnanna), (GMO * Purple Punch), ((F1Durb*Gushers)*Strawnanna), (Dosidos * Watermelon Zkittles) and (PCG Cookies * Watermelon Zkittles). That should not be that bad, should it?

0.6 ec of what? Looks like it's hungry.
It was hungry because of some root problems it turned out to be. Been feeding them the same and kept them the same distance under the same light and now the look nice again (except from the naked stem as I removed all the yellow leafes. All of em started to grow good side branches also...

Thanks for the help, my friend!:)

First, I would supercrop above the 2nd or 3rd node and strap her over so she can't stand right back up. Move your light closer/get better light?
Then start feeding 2x/day @0.6 to decent runoff. Should perk up within a couple days, if not go to 0.7EC, continue.
I did not shape it beacause of the problem. I will have to be a little more creative now as the two biggest are close to 60 cm tall... My plan is basicallt to crop the main stem and tie it down flat and have like 10-16 of the best side brances as main tops. Best I could come up with and please come with advice if you could provide useful insights here:) Planning to flower 4 in a 4*4 tent

Some pics and I think all would agree that them plants have taken a big step in the right direction

I did not include a pic of this one, which is a GMO and Purple Punch cross. This one was fixed and repotted one day before the plant on the next pic.

The next one is the same as the one in the pics of the sick plant (they all looked the same). "Some" improvement here as well. Its a cross of GMO and Strawnanna and it is two weeks younger than the two others/a bit smaller....

The final pic is of one of the two (F1Durb*Gushers)*Strawnanna I got rollin in my tent. They were fixed and repotted two days after the GMO*Purple Punch and looks about the same as that on did at the same point of time

So to learn something here: Is there a kind sole who can tell me what that brown gooey was and how I can avoid it in the futere/what I did wrong?:)

You've posted one pic of a plant that looks like absolute shit. I'd be embarrassed. But whatever. Here's your participation trophy, cupcake.

You're a troll. Aren't you? Whether you know it or not.
No sir. Im not a troll. Im just not that good in providing all relevant information. English is not my native language so Im kind of thinking about words and grammar and forgetting things I should have written. No disrespect meant I assure you!!!

I dunno bout ya brown gooey, but your lack of side branching hurts my heart.

You said the light was sufficient. I trust you know your stuff.
I used the same lights as I always use and have calculated that its about right intensity and bought good stuff QBs from HLG. When it comes to the sidebranching I totally agree. They gave me many nights awake with tears in my eyes. Never had any major problems in veg, really. Some cal-mag deficciency but thats about it.

It was really strange I can tell you. The plants suddenly showed all kinds of deficiencies with leaves yellowing quick and falling off, did hardly drink anything and looked like the did not react to the light as they should,

As you can see on the first pic the side branching have more or less exploded on that one the last three days or so. The three others looks like the sidegrowth have picked up for, but not as explosive and at an earlier stage....

The only strains in the crosses that I have consumed before is Strawnanna, which I enjoyed very much. The place I live is a really small place in the mountains somewhere at the Balkan peninsula. The population is way below 1.000 and its a 5 hour drive if you need anything than groceries, stuff for hunting and fishing, simple repair tools and gasoline. Its very very peaceful and nice, but you need to drive at least the 5 hours to get hold on some noe-smokeable stuff so I have to make my own if I want a product with ok quality and if I want to try some new strains...

I kind of like that!!!
