Papaya 12/12 From Seed 250 HPS Stealth Dresser Organic Grow

Hmm, do you think those spots would be because of fungus? Have you tried neem oil? I was reading about black spots on tomato leaves caused by fungus (causing root rot) the best solution it says using sulphur or neem oil (both are approved for organic farm). Just an idea. Oh one more thing, sulphur is used to lower pH of the soil also.

M stunned the way these are starting to grow. Im speachless.;-(

Are you saying that in a bad way?? #3 has its issues I agree, but the others seem to be doing OK... Nothing spectacular but could be a lot worse??

Thanks for the idea, it very well might be but since it is only affecting the one plant I don't know if that could be possible. I am almost 99% sure its some sort of PH issue locking out nutrients, I should know if that meter ever arrives.
I just don't want to start trying a bunch of things until I test my PH run off and have a better idea. But thanks for the helpful info!

Have you tried just flushing it for now hell its going to be ruined before you get your meter at this rate

Johnboh · Oct 28, 2009

Flush it now man, stop wasting time waiting for the meter. i would pass a ton of water threw that bitch. more the better you gotta wash out all the built up solids in there

Fditty00 · Oct 28, 2009

Not in a bad way. I just dont have a answer. I read about FF Sledgehammer. It unlocks the roots so theyll start takin their nutes again. Just a thought.

dont give up yet let them grow a little longer

blazermon · Oct 28, 2009

I attempted to flush her a few days ago but I didn't use enough water. Tonight I put 2 liters of water through her and since it was already wet water was coming through the entire time.. I also gave the other 2 a much larger then usual watering and drained the excess off, the other 2 still look fine though no problems at all.
My estimation from when I first saw sign of sex is that they are at 4 weeks of flowering. It is an 8 week approx. strain so they are half way through... I am hoping things can turn around since all the new growth is still fine on #3.

Dont believe the time frame that nirvana sold you on. There is no way to say that your plant will be done in exactly 8 weeks.

To many variables to say that it will take only 8 weeks or exactly 8 weeks. every plant is different and every room yields different results.

you will know its done when the trics are ready

I agree John. I would never just cut it down cause the time was up lol... Just as a very vague guideline I am only half way through so its not like I only have a week left to deal with or something, you can tell even by looking at the buds that they have a long time to go, which makes me happy cause they should bulk up a bunch

On a happy note I have 4 new seedlings from that bag seed that are doing great! Well actually 6 but 2 are going to a friend.

the grow is lookin good dog.....i also had a problem like this with one of my plants,and i was told that its ''white mold'' it started showing grey spots,and eventually killing the whole leaf like yours,,it also started attacking all my new growth really quick,so i choped early,,,,i wasnt sure if it was gonna start on the buds after......good luck g.. :peace:

blazermon · Oct 31, 2009

So I e mailed the e bay company asking where the heck my meter was, well turns out the guy never did send it, nice to know I was checking my mail every day the last 2 weeks hoping for it to arrive!
so i am getting a refund.
So today I am going to the hydro store to buy one....
So I flushed #3 really good, should I do one more flush and test the PH of the run off water when I get home on Sunday.

Fditty00 · Nov 1, 2009

It cant hurt..

Day 50:

Well I FINALLY bought a PH meter locally, I brought it home and tested my plain water, well NO WONDER... It is sitting at 8.5!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SO even that flush that I did on them I was using horrible water, I am sure they are probably fucked now, even #2 is looking bad now, and as I was trying to flush them all with proper PHed water I accidently bumped #2 I think cause the top bud was bent over sideways like I supercropped it or something,
Anyways here are some pictures from last night, sorry to let all you guys down but this is a VERY good example of why PH is so important.
I will continue to feed them with Proper PHed water and feed solutions from here on out and we will see if they can possibly recover, I will not cut them down until they are actually dead because I want to see what happens.
At least the new 4 are up and at em...
Anyways sorry again its a very sad day and FUCK THAT E BAY PH METER GUY GRRR

Dont worry bro. your plants are almost done as it is. just remember that every grow is an experiment. dont let it get you mad or bring negativity to your life! I have seen alot worse off plants than these.

Just ph your water and keep feeding them plain water now. just think how much better your next grow will be!

londonfog · Nov 2, 2009

Hey this grow was very helpful to you ...You learned something very important and was able to show others as well....You still will get something for your work..... and the next round is only going to get better...keep it up :weed:

Fditty00 · Nov 2, 2009

We dont smoke the leaves anyway! Youll still have some good smoke and they should go another 3-4 weeks

Ive got faith that theyll make a turn around. Rock em til the wheels fall off.

I completly agree, life is all about learning and I try to live by that in every area of my life. Sorry that "fuck that guy" line was kinda rude lol don't get me wrong I am not stressed nor angry especially since I have a nice Ounce of Green Crack Kush I am medicating myself with right now lol

So you don't think I should ever feed them again? Just water until the end even if there is 4 + weeks left possibly?

Yes I learned a very valuable lesson.. And next time someone tells me that PH isn't important I have first hand experience :-)

And there will DEFIANTLY be many more rounds to come and improve I promise!

Haha Yup your right not smoking the leaves although I was dreaming of some bubble hash lol.. But I completly agree I think these buds are saveable especially #1 which is unhurt as of right now and might end up being the best one lol I think somewhere in this journal I even said #1 could be the best as crazier things have happened LMAO
But don't worry I promise I will not be cutting early.

Thanks everyone for the support!! :leaf:

Johnboh · Nov 2, 2009

I worded that wrong. I wouldnt feed them for a bit. Keep a close on eye them, might be a good idea to flush with some properly phed water. then i would do another straight watering after the flush then go back to feeding, this is of course if time allows for this. Do what you think would be best for them. I recommend letting them have a resting period to sort of speak with just plain ole phed water.
