I have to agree with Meta here... You should see how sorry my plant looks at the moment, having survived PM, freezing temperatures, etc.etc etc. - basically all of the fan leaves are gone or yellow, and yet... the buds keep getting fatter and frostier and I am hoping for the best in a couple of days...
i know bro, ain't that the truth lol.
thanks dread, that's good to hear bro. i mean, not that your fan leaves are yellow/gone, but that the buds keep getting fatter! gives me more hope. can't wait to see your finished amnesia
. good luck with your first "start-to-finish" harvest man, and take some pics!!!!
thanks bro, appreciate the encouragement!
yes, i haven't given them molasses in a while. i think i will add a tablespoon in my next watering, as well as try to mix in some bone meal into the soil. i have a feeling both plants are deficient in phosphorous and cal/mag (as well as nitrogen and probably everything else, lol). the molasses won't hurt, thanks kmk.
glad you asked grandaddy.. i just took a couple videos of the girls. blue cream is not looking so hot, dropped several more leaves since last night and doesn't smell so good... i'm hoping she's over the worst of it. amnesia on the other hand is looking better than last night
. the foliage is stable, she smells fine, and the leaves are green (probably a little too dark green though, which may indicate phosphorous defiiciency). i won't water again until tomorrow, but tomorrow i will try to correct the phosphorous problem.
well, BC's smell reminds me a little of that "drying" smell that you get when you are hanging the plants to dry. kinda hay-ish. the buds smell fine, but you have to get very close to smell them. i think there might be some damage to the stem system (perhaps) that's causing the drying, and i think the bone meal tomorrow will help with that. i need to be careful not to over water or under water.
. thanks to you guys's encouragement, i'm not too stressed about any of this. i will keep doing what i can with the best of my knowledge and greenthumbedness and riu resources, and ride the next few weeks out. if i'm forced to harvest blue cream a week or two early (original target was april 15), then so be it. just means amnesia will get more light for the last few weeks.
I wouldn't worry too much about the smell. It's probably a mix of chlorophyll and the decaying yellow leaves.well, BC's smell reminds me a little of that "drying" smell that you get when you are hanging the plants to dry. kinda hay-ish. the buds smell fine, but you have to get very close to smell them. i think there might be some damage to the stem system (perhaps) that's causing the drying, and i think the bone meal tomorrow will help with that. i need to be careful not to over water or under water.
i'm also glad that amnesia is doing better, because she was always my prize girl to begin with
thanks meta, i'm gonna take a closer look at your girls to see if i can spot the purpling you're talking about.
thanks brotha, i'm trying my best!
yeah, that's what i figured dk. when i tossed out the worst leaves last night and this morning, the smell got a little better, so i think you're right!
thanks a lot stoney! i have a feeling blue cream is gonna start improving in the next few days now that the nutes are more balanced (i think/hope).
. still looking frosty and alive, i think.
thanks a lot grandaddy!! i was taking the dark-green color as a sign of phosph def, maybe i was wrong? my flower nutes (flora nova bloom) have 4-8-7 (npk -- i think i gave you the wrong info the last time you asked), and 4 (cal) and 2 (mag). i'm glad you asked, because i hadn't realized that they had ANY cal/mag. maybe the bone meal won't be necessary, but molasses couldn't hurt, right?
oh sorry i didn't warn you meta, i just keep my bib on at all times. gets old trying to explain to people why i have it on, but i just say "trust me, it's for some dankity" and they walk away. thanks for the non-scientific advice bro, always appreciated!!GREAT, now I gotta change my shirt cause I forgot my bib and drooled all over myself...LoL...Dawg, with frosty nuggets like those, you don't need to worry about losing a couple little bitch fan leaves...just slap those bitches around a little bit and tell 'em to get back in line, and in no time we'll be matching some dankies!
P.S.-Sorry I couldn't offer more "scientific" advise this go around, I'm listening to rage against the machine, so yeah...
Jesus christ monkey balls. The Amnesia is starting to take over as my favorite of the pair.and in keeping with the positivity, here are some pics of ladies' buds, in kmk-friendly format

thanks for looking it up grandaddy. that easy plant guide looks handy, just downloaded it! i wish i could fast forward a couple days to see how my girls are doing, the recovery is slow, but i think they'll overcome.
hahaha that made me laugh bro. thanks dk. the buds of amnesia smell piney and fresh. blue cream (when i get right up to the buds) smells sweet and tangy. both very pleasant smells actually. can't wait to smoke these biatches.
haha man i gotta remember to post a warning next time. i think the hats are perfect actually. they are already doing their job sustaining the bigger buds. i'm barely using any lst-wire right now, just on a few of the main branches and the stem. thanks for the compliments bro!!
