The Irish Growers Thread!

She's nestled amongst the canopy of the bigger plants so I dont think its wind issues, temps are low tho 22-24 and rh 80%. Ill pop her back on the heatmat with the auto and see if she perks up.

Also im a fuckin gobshite! Sussed that zinc def in the veg tent, and been ph'ing the water for all the vegglings as I go untill I refilled the big tank (yesterday).

And lately ive noticed the Galwaygirl #2 hasnt been filling out like her sis, neither has the bbog... and today while adding ph down to the tank the penny dropped... poxy zinc deficiency!
I hadnt been treating them cause the leaves looked fine, but they only got the bbfm at the start of flower... different stage of growth, different symptom, different pain in the ass.

So im gonna let em dry out completely, ph down to 5'5 for the next watering and give em a good dose of mollasses

Molasses want do a thing this late.

They're about 2-3 weeks behind the one coming down next week. So 4 weeks ish?

I go through quite a few vapes and would never blaze good weed.
A good few friends are now fully converted.
Best vape for a smoker is the VapCap as it is somewhat similar ritual as smoking.
I never mixed tobacco with weed.

Zinc def is rare enough are you sure?
Did you check for seeds? pests? what booster are you using?

I think its lockout rather than a deficiency. Hadnt been ph'ing my water so over time the soil ph raised. Ive adjusted the ph for all of em now tho so shouldnt happen in future.
No seeds or nanners or bugs, no boosters besides alga mic or molasses just plain water.
Flower tent is 28c rh 35% (at the top of the canopy)

Alga is organic and very slow before it is usable by your plants and molasses is only food for microbacteria, so basically plants are hungry.

Ive got the plagron alga bloom there too, might give em that for the next 3 weeks and then a week of plain water before harvest?

 

[budsahoi]

^^^^^^ too late for that you need fast acting.

Having a hot whiskey break, fucking freezing here.

 

[90'sStoner]

Ill just keep the ph adjusted so and learn for next time.

@ae86 grower read up a bit more bout that stalk splitting and talked to my friend who did it in spain, decided to give it a go and see what happens.

Did that with some Auto Daquiri Limes by Dutch passion a while ago. Don't know if it did much, but I pulled about 350g from the biggest girl i had at the time. So it definitely didn't affect the yield.

From what I read it should increase trich production and force her to start using up sugar/starch reserves in her leaves before harvest
