abundance, deficiency or some sort of nutrient lock out?

im stressing out a bit because my plants have been showing a bit of discolored on the leafs or burns. but i don't go crazy with nutrients. For instance.

these clones were given to me by a friend, i transplanted them in fox farm happy frog soil in beer cups nothing else added to the mix just Great White powder to inoculate the roots. temps are not over 78 at my house i have them in a dome opening the vents a little bit every other day and i spray them with r.o. water one in a while and im not over watering i do wait till they get dry.

plant #1 is a sfv og and has a little yellowing going.

plant #2 and 3 are fire og same soil maybe i should put the clones in light warrior next time.

these plants are docs og they are looking pretty good but have some weird leaf going on. i planted them in fox farm happy frog i added perlite at 75% happy frog 25% perlite. the soil still take a while to dry i thought with more perlite it would get dry faster. the first time i transplanted them i gave them a mexican guano tea brewed 48 with fish hydrolystate ,neptunes sea weed, worm castings, molasses, happy frog 5-5-5 all purpose fertilizerand some alfalfa meal. once finished brewing i diluted it. the next feeding they got was 1/4 strength of fox farm grow big temps are no higher then 78.

I always look at it as.. they are new clones, they were cut off the mother plant, no roots.. they had to develop new roots and are not back in soil growing new roots so they are not always going to look great. what I do is look at the new growth that comes out after the clone is rooted and in its own pot with soil.. This is just how I look at my clones..

your foxfarm grow big is killing your microbes put some of that in a glass and let it dry out you will see it crystallize in a few days. not good for microbial life. stick with the tea ditch the molasses until flowering.

do any of you use
Mycorrhizal Fungi on you plants?

ditch the molasses you say hmmmm??? thats the first time i hear that. shouldn't i use molasses to help feed the bacteria in the tea?

It helps in flower but not fresh clones.

soil ecology is the best way to go mix everything you need in the soil and just use water to feed. a cup of tea in a gallon of water works pretty good.

If your clones rooted aggresively they may need to be transplanted. I notice those exact same symptoms when I leave rooted clones in party cups too long, or when I leave any plant in any container too long.

Can you see roots sticking out of the bottom of the cups?

The sulfur in molasses really kicks resin production into overdrive, so it's not just for feeding the microbal life. Either way, I only use it(or a sweetener with sulfur and molasses in it) during flowering as well.

You should try raw cane sugar. the molasses is a by product from refining the sugar. raw cane sugar has the molasses in it still and it makes a smoother smoke

The product I'm using actually has raw can sugar and sulfured molasses in it, I just thought the raw cane sugar was them being cheap, like filling half the product with sugar water, lol. It's the GH sweetener didn't know the raw cane sugar had a benefit

Just go with the raw sugar they are being cheep by putting molasses in it.

this is what i use and it works awesome

haha, so it's the other way around! I kinda know it's over priced sugar water but the artificial flavoring in it keeps people coming back for more, enough that it apparently seperates my product from many others. Thing is, you can taste it in every strain-and when you know what that 'essense' is it's very artificial and noticable. I'm growing tired of it.

I'm definitely giving the raw sugar a try next round.

That's exactly the sugar I use for everything! Already have a pantry stocked with it

I would use it every few waterings from the first time the buds really start to develop as big around as a quarter dollar strait till the end. every three waterings a heaping table spoon because it does make your soil sticky and can draw in ants.

cool man so your on the bus with me!

The flavor of all your strains will stand out clear as a bell from now on I promise.
