Watch for ph and over watering if you see molybdenum deficiencies. Usually a sign / bi product. Super rare / unusual for that to be the root cause.

When I see molybdenum issues, it's usually soil ph and an inability to uptake phosphorous.

As much as this thread talked up SSDD, I assumed I'd be at least a little dissapointed with it.

WRONG.



Really nice smoke, looking forward to having it cured. Amazing pain relief. Almost instantaneous. Nice selection of phenos from 1 pack, too.

that's exactly why it is my head stash and i've grown it exclusively now for ... wow, maybe two years? i've grown out at least a dozen packs and think there was one pheno i wasn't crazy about but the rest have been great. some way more amazing than others but all amazing aches and pain relief! the cure really brings out some yummy smells too. congratulations on a successful SSDD harvest :weed:

My testers which arrived in the mail 4 weeks ago today.
Dragonsblood F4 x old mother ghani (Mother of Dragons)
IMG_0293.JPG Love the structure thus far staying very squat but also has nice branching underneath, no obvious variation yet but obviously very early. A few took a couple days longer to pop so they are a few days behind and the one on the right grew into the light last night got a little burnt on the leaves but should be fine.

Sorry for the vague reply. It was late last night when I posted. I wasn't talking about seeing a molybdenum deficiency. I was talking about have enough molybdenum to convert nitrate into protein. I do soil prescriptions on the side, mostly because I enjoy it and enjoy helping other growers/gardeners/farmers out, and most soils have an inverted NH4 to NO3 ratio, too much nitrate in general and not enough Mo to compensate for the levels of nitrate. The same goes for nickel, but nickel is needed to convert urea into ammonium and urease. Anyway, I'd shoot for 0.5 ppm minimum in a soil test. In my own soil I have Mo at 3 ppm because my soil naturally has around 14% organic matter which will all be converted to nitrate eventually. In one of my greenhouses I may bump the Mo up to 5 ppm, but the would be the max IMO. I wouldn't push Mo past that.

And @Jp.the.pope you're right in saying pH has a significant role in Mo uptake. It's the only micronutrient that increases in availability at higher pH levels so if you're pH is too low then your plants most likely won't be getting enough and even more so if you're media doesn't have enough in the first place which is true of most media/soil. Also excess nitrate, which is common, also inhibits the uptake of phosphorous so you hit two points of excess nitrate in one post. It's not good to have too much NO3. It makes for weak, disease prone plants. They can look healthy, but it's not necessarily the case. Put those plants outside and if they are magnets to bugs or fungus pressure that would be a good sign that they're not really healthy.

Speaking of soil testing, if any of you guys want to send in soil samples to be tested you can PM me. There's only one lab in the US that I would send samples to if you're running a lightweight mix. And if you're in straight dirt, like me, then I have another lab that I'd recommend. I'd also send in a water sample. Water is your first nutrient and can easily have a major effect on your soil.

5.8 from day one. My res is really stable.
I'll look into Mo and Nickel uptake values for the dro dro. I'm always over watering (:

Blood Orange X Genius Thai making me want to go grab a larger tent this weekend and plug the rail in :eyesmoke:

Two phenos looking just about identical except height

The Goji will be alright ;) Day 33 She is showing slight tip discolor. Glad I flushed when I did. Good looking out folks.

Oh no, the dro dro ;)

My soil gets finicky if I don't treat her right. Hope yours peek up buddy.

Send in a soil sample and you can learn a lot about your own soil. You'd be surprised how many people's soil is way out of whack. The only thing that saves a lot of people in these soil/soilless mixes is the amount of aeration used. For example, if you were to do a Coot's style mix in straight dirt your plant would probably be dead in a week or less. A lot of aeration basically helps the plant have enough space in the media to keep from getting poisoned to death. PM me if your interested in soil testing. I don't work for a lab and I don't make money off of the tests.

To keep it Bodhi related:
BBHP, hash plant pheno just under 7'. One week into flowering.

BBHP, Blue Dream pheno just over 7' and taking up space. Skywalker OG X Pipeline (aka Andy Irons OG) behind her.

2 Jamaican Goji's (front and back) going nuts. 8' at the tallest branches

No idea about the dro bro, but Mo, Ni, Se and Co would all be pretty small amounts. You could probably look at Dyna-Gro's ratios to get an idea. It wouldn't be hard to hit toxic levels with any of those.

And nice looking plants too!

What's up fellars.

Does anyone have experience with Space Monkey? Did some digging around and found one guy who had a batch of hermies from it - not sure if it was early samples or stress induced.

Gonna be my 2nd seed purchase, hoping to get SSDD, Goji OG, More Cowbell and Space Monkey - should I be cautious of any of these as a novice grower?
