Thanks owl, another quick question...do I give her the full mixture of nutes I have to feed her? Or just what I think she's lacking?

Start with what you think you need. Then if it improves, then awesome! If it doesn't, you've learned something new, and try again with the next best solution(that's what doctors do ;) )

Or if you only have a broad spectrum fert, then go ahead with that. Either way man, cuz if you can fix her quickly, then you aren't risking more time/yeilds.

Thanks for the quick responses owl, we'll see how she looks in the morning. Her lights go out in an hour and I don't want to water/feed her too much before bed. (is that right? or does it matter?)

Day 19


The leaves are still curled a bit but have stopped yellowing/spotting and are looking sooooo much better. I gave her a full feeding today but lowered the ppm quite a bit. I would really like to get this plant dialed in before it suffers too much. But she seems to be doing alright/better, and the bud sites seem to be growing a bit (not much but a little). I'll post pictures a little later, don't hate too much I know the leaves are curled and clawed ect ect ect.

Day 21


Well it's day 21, man time flies. Just seems like yesterday we were making jokes and tossing a seed in a cup. Well 3+ months later it seems to be happy and filling out nicely. We took pictures with my gf's iphone, holy shit that thing takes pretty damn nice pictures. Anyway, she took a bunch =)

Notice how I took your advice and added 3-4 more stakes lol Still trying to get a handle on those curling leaves, but at least the yellowing/spotting/ and growth stunting seem to be under check and doing much better all around. With the ups and downs of this grow, I'm super happy with the development at 21 days. Seems like she should fill out nicely =)

They'll fill out MrTokenPuff! It's never stops surprising me how much they swell in the last couple of weeks...;)

For the most part any leaves that are damaged like that are not going to revert back to normal. She won't produce any more leaves at 21 days into flower so the improvements from here on out are not going to be as noticable as the damage was. After a while you'll get to the point where you can just look at your plants and they will tell you what they want.

Hey I just thought of something that will help the buds swell besides being staked....backstrap mollasas! Between 1-2 TBLS/gal every watering or every other watering right up till the last week of flower. I used to use mollasas but with so many plants I started having a problem with fruitflies so now I use Nitrozime instead. Also mycorrhizae every two weeks from the start of veg up till four weeks from harvest. I just started using this stuff myself and when transplanting I can see that the root system is much healthier and larger with it verses without it.

Perhaps some pics without the hps on sometime ; ?)

Thanks Highlander, I actually already add backstrap molasses. I didn't know that it could safely be added to just about every water/feeding. Is there anything else that I can add to my waterings? I checked out that mycorrhizae and stuff looks awesome, I'll probably snatch some of that for my next go round. Seems like it could be really beneficial. I moved some stuff around again today, and actually moved it to a smaller box (what's propping it up to keep it close to the light). She seems super happy since I added the cal-mag and fulvex to her. Anyway, here's a pic of what my simple feeding consists of lol.

What's the calcium/magnesium ratio in that cal/mag bottle TokenPuff? I've got individual bottles of each and usually add them together if needed, just not sure of ratio...

Nitrogen - 160-250 ppm Calcium - 160-280ppm Magnesium - 45-75ppm Iron (Fe)- 2-7ppm. Use 5ml/gallon...I hope this answers your question. Now for my question, it says for best results use every watering or feeding...Can I add this to my watering with the backstrap molasses?

Thanks for that!

Yeh, you can add it with your molasses.
(Molasses I use every watering/feed at 1 teaspoon a gallon, not as rich as Highlander's taste...just so you know amounts aren't something to get stressed out about ;))

Awesome, thanks for the reply sworth. Is there really anything other than the rock resonator that I shouldn't add every watering maybe with a lower ppm?

Just ordered a gallon of bs molasses i use it at around 1tbsp/g. It did wonders when i was going synthetic. And it's almost essential in organics. forgot to order more myco. Also, adding lime to my soil made a big difference too. It neutralizes the soil ph to 7.
