overdrive and carbo load
he says they arnt taking much water like 1 litre a day each
problem is they dont seem to be getting much bigger and needs some advise on what he should do thanks guys
ohh ye he vegged them for about 7weeks

 

[Ringsixty]

your friend should have gave you a pic to post. so, we can see what you consider, bigger.
8 weeks in flower. 8 - 10 week strain

 

[kidneybean]

ill ask him for a picture when i see him tomorrow but he sed to me ther about an inch thick and the main cola's is about 1.5inches thick with the length about 6inches?

 

[jondamon]

You've come here with half a story.

A and B by canna?

Is that coco A and B
Aqua vega A and B
Aqua FLORES A and B
Hydro A and B


Your friend should not be giving only a single litre per day.

If he's in soil. Then he should allow the pot to loose approx 50% of its weight when wet and then resaturate until runoff is achieved.

If he's in coco then he could feed once every couple of days with 20% runoff, or once every hour with 20% runoff, or once a day with 20% runoff.


Come back with either alot more info, or better yet get your friend on here to ask himself.

I agree we need ton more info. Is this a soil grow, hydro grow? Is hydroton coco,peat, soiless mix? What the humidity in the tent? Is he exchanging air in and out? The leds will limit the bud size no matter what anyone will try to say the leds are ok but not close to hps out put. What the ph going in and whats the ph coming out?

 

[kidneybean]

its canna coco mate and he said they used to take around 2litres a day but now ther not taking much, he is using coco

 

[kidneybean]

dont know humidity, yes thers air in and out and ph is 5.5 to 6 and i dont know what comes out

 

[jondamon]

If he's using coco what size pot?

11L?

Is he pH'ing at 5.8?

Is he testing EC?

What's his current EC of his feed?

Is he using nutes with every feed he's giving?

Is he using any of the other canna products? Rhizotonic? ZYM? Etc

WE NEED PICTURES!!!! Its impossible to get a solid answer without pics especially with the lack of info given. You should honestly just have him/her come here. You say you never even seen the plants yourself so how can we help you? Get pics please, there's so many knowledgeable people on here that'll give you great information once we can get some info.

 

[FilthyFletch]

I would assume then he is using the Canna Coco A & Nutrients. Has he done his required flushes to make sure there is no salt/nutrient blockage which would slow the intake of both water and food making growth slow down or stall?Also what strain is this as 7 weeks in basically a hydro indoor grow is a long veg time so these should be rather large before even going to flower. For me 7 weeks of veg would mean my indicas would be good 3 feet and sativas would be 4 plus feet meaning 6-8 foot plants when done flowering.

 

[kidneybean]

his pots our 11L yes, im texting him you see people, he doesnt know ec..., he is using butrients with every feed and no he just uses canna coco a and b, and i will try and get pictures asap, and if you mean flush with water through the coco then yes he thought that might be the problem but they still continued to take little water after the flush and yes 7 weeks from seed and yes the plants are around 6ft, alls i want to know is what is the most common problem you lot would say my friend has? eg too much nutrients? needs more light? etc thanks guys for your time an help ur giving

 

[glockdoc]

i have a friend who grows aeroponicly has grown thousands and thousands of plants and i always ask him to grow chemdawg. his response never changes. "it yields like shit and it CAN be a bitch to grow; very picky and sensitive plant." could be over or under feeding cal or mag deficiency, or even him trying to treat something that appeared to be wrong. chem's can show the "mosaic trait" people confuse it with TMV which is a plant virus and end up trying to treat for it or just simply trash it because tmv spreads when all it really is, is a genetic mutation.. think birth mark for chemdawg.

i can promise you and ur buddy more answers to more problems by SIMPLY POSTING A PICTURE. without pics everyone is just guessing and that can lead to WORSE problems and u dont need that 8wks in. there not cops so dont worry lol... imagine they were in charge of the world??!! it'd be a better place. PEOPLE ARE DYING TO HELP JUST POST PIC

 

[Dogenzengi]

Now that's throwing out some Wisdom GlockDoc, Love the name.
did your friend mention any other bad strains?
good strains??
Rock Out with your Glock Out!

 

[Trousers]

his pots our 11L yes, im texting him you see people, he doesnt know ec...,

imo, if you grow in hydro, you must know ec/ppm. It was vital for me to properly feed.

he is using butrients with every feed and no he just uses canna coco a and b, and i will try and get pictures asap, and if you mean flush with water through the coco then yes he thought that might be the problem but they still continued to take little water after the flush

Flushing is a bad idea. That might be why the plant is not taking as much water, because it was flushed.

and yes 7 weeks from seed and yes the plants are around 6ft, alls i want to know is what is the most common problem you lot would say my friend has? eg too much nutrients? needs more light? etc thanks guys for your time an help ur giving

7 weeks, 6 feet tall from seed?
Not buying that.

DO NOT GET ME WRONG when properly grown chemdawg will seduce the shit out of you. as far as HIS STANDARDS and what hes doing it for is simply weight with potency. now im not there with him cali where he now lives but i can promise you when i say weight and potency its exactly that. strains he grows are blue dream (thats his #1 prize gets grown year after year )alien og, girl scout cookies, sour og, og kush , jack herer, purple jack, chesiel, sour diesel, larry og, platinum bubba, jacky white, LA cheese, GDP, Mr.nice and a hand full of other strains. him like the chemdawg is picky, being all in it for the dough require the strain is potent and most importantly puts out in his eyes. he grew some romulan that put out but wasnt potent for shit so he never grew it again. could of been just a bad cut idk. he comes back to the east coast ever month or 2 i can ask him what he would recommend. when he got me into growing in 09' he recommended Reserva pervada and DNA for not to steep priced quality seeds. this was before he moved to colorado and cali so most of his strais are clone only but he does run some seed strains. im running 2 s1's of his larry right now and its growing extremely well. unlike his larry thou mine are indoor his were an outdoor run, idk if he did it indoor aero like he usually does. Love getting batch of outdoor then indoor or vice versa of same strain same cut. some dont change much just hashier taste, and then some are just the sweetest fucking tasting thing.

 

[kidneybean]

so chemdog was a bad strain to choose then? what would you lot say was a good strain for high yeilds and a strain easy to achieve high yeilds, with good potency aswell? thanks alot guys forgot to mension that thers still a shit load of white hairs and the trichomes are clear, would use say throw an extra light in ther?

 

[jondamon]

Of course throw another light in there because that's the answer to all problems.


Really is that a serious question????

FUC-KING post pics or once again we're just guessing. If you can't do this simple task then stop asking. Everyone's trying to help you but if your not willing to provide us with what we need then what's the point?

White hairs and clear trics just mean the bud is still immature. Throwing more light into the situation is ,most likely not the answer.

The most common issue I've personally seen is people tend to over water their plants. You need to treat it as if it was just another tomato plant. Some give too much attention to the plant and actually end up loving it to death.

 

[glockdoc]

yes it is a lil hard to keep calm because we are just retyping the same shit lol but lets try and be peaceful. adding more light could help boost yield thats it, if you still have some weeks to go in flowering. and from your DESCRIPTION which is somewhat useful compared to our POTENTIAL observations ( u leave us with little to none) your chem seems sativa dom. one solution (this might start a unnecessary heated debate "Wait for it.............") is to drop the light hours every week or 2. change timer to 11 on/13 off this week for a week then 10/14 from there on out. they should stop throwing out white hairs, ripen up a bit, and swell a tad. other then some unwanted potential stretch that should speed shit up for ya. but for the 10th time its just a guess and for the 1000th time post a pic and we will have you enjoying quality chemdawg kushy/lemon/chem/funkyness. you not posting a picture is wasting our time TRYING to help and more importantly you could waste the time u spent growing that thing if one person give u a solution to another problem based on your TYPED DESCRIPTION and ends up frying your plant!

borgey im from R.I too were about r u?
