Going to start a grow journal for personal use and out of boredom.
Need To Know:
Started as a clone, given from a friend of mine. Unknown strain, infected with some awesome White Powdery Mildew. Probably because he stressed the clones out and left them in a box for a long time with no circulation or light, or they got infected when put outside in his garden. The clone was started pretty late into the season, i cant remember the exact date but it was definitely passed the point of an ideal start. Regardless that wasnt going to stop me.
Background:
2 grows before this, one involving a single plant, turned out terrible, got maybe a quarter. Last grow was 9 plants, 4 sweet skunk, 5 northern lights. God that was awesome. Rain got to it, a lot of them got budrot, had to sacrifice a lot of my crop but got a few oz out of it in the end. So im still a pretty big noob, but i've grown plants not just weed for almost all my life, love greenthumbin.
Soil:
So the soil is pretty mixed up.. There is some peatmoss, perlite, some cow manure from a local farm, and some soil from my garden, mushroom manure.. just a lot of stuff because ive re-used this soil and each year i always add some fresh stuff to it give it some more kick.
Feedings:
So in total my ferts have been approximately like this:
-2 doses of Miracle Gro tomato at the start. I had nothing else.
-Then throughout most of the veg state ive fed it GreenPlanet Medi-One 4-3-3. Starting at a very mild dose and ramping it up each time. I cannot give precise measurement apart from my last dosage which was 15ml/2.5gal, because it was awhile ago.
-Since flowering has started i have stopped the Medi-One feedings, and switched to Jungle Juice Micro/Bloom. First feeding was very mild because it was soon after the Medi-One and i just wanted to begin adjusting towards bloom nutrients. 4ml/to about 30 L.
-Plant began to start show signs of yellowing within the first week-second week of flower, maybe 1 leaf a day turning yellow, it wasnt super severe:
But i decided to dose with more nitrogen since it was still early in flower and the plant still needs some nitrogen for the initial flower induced stretch.
10ml micro, 10 ml bloom Jungle Juice / 10 gal water. (i was pretty worried about the sudden increase, but the plant just seemed like it was a hungryyy plant throughout its entire lifespan)
-After this dosage, there was VERY minor nute burn, and i mean super minor. Maybe 2-3mm up the tip of the leaf. So i was debating whether to flush it or not... Decided not to since it was soo minimal and so far the nute burn has not advanced anymore so hopefully i made the right choice.
Earliest pics i have:
Beginning the LST method if its even called that, i just bend the fuck outta my plant, always done it like that, like to keep em low and bushy and spread out.
Taken 5 minutes ago:
I realize I am startin this journal a bit late.. But I'd still like to document the rest of this journey, and my dealings with WPM, maybe itll help out some other growers down the line. Got a lot of free time now too so ill keep updatin. This plant is breakin into its third week of flower i wanna say. Maybe just shy of that. Its a primarily outdoor grow, moved indoor when its rainy/super cloudy.
The growbox:
500W HPS light, i keep the fan blowing on the ballast to cool it and spread some more heat around, temp range is pretty good from 20-24. No humidity meter
.
So today's entry will be something as follows:
Found about 4-5 leaves with some WPM, maybe 3-4 spots on each(first time since about 2 weeks). Seems pretty mild, havent sprayed the plant down with anything yet, waiting on the dark period. The day was super nice and sunny, plant was outdoors most of the time. Will bring it inside for the rest of the light period since there is no more direct sunlight available. The plant will stay indoors till morning, if sunny, itll go outside, if cloudy/rainy, itll stay inside.
After the feeding a few days, leaves are still yellowing even with the added nitrogen. Either it is not enough, or this strain simply yellows early on in its flower. I figured switching to chemical ferts would have more bang so going with a strong fert ratio would fix the yellowing/assumed nitrogen deficiency. I cant say that is has. Fan leaves are still going yellow so Im just going to go with that being attributed to natural yellowing due to flowering. Its about time the buds start gettin a lil fatter. Also as im writing this, I just realized the nute burn may have burn the cause of the WPM outbreak, the stress may weakened the immune system allowing the mildew to take hold.
Lets see whats up tomorrow.
FEEL FREE TO POST AS LONG AS ITS CONSTRUCTIVE/ADDS TO THE GROW OR PEOPLES KNOWLEDGE SOMEHOW.
Also i read WPM is not a fan of water... Which is weird. But apparently misting in the early morning before harsh direct light is present is beneficial in thwarting this fucken STD of a plant disease. May try that.
