Colombian and Colombian Crosses

[growsinse79]

Just planted Colombian Saucyballs. I made the cross a couple years ago and only grew one so far. I have 2 landrace Colombian going to cross back to.

Colombian clones main tops cut 8 days ago

Day 6 flower. I cut another node off the Colombian. I would never top normal plants a week after flip, but these are not normal plants. I'm attempting to make them little dwarf plants that will actually finish in my small space.

Lots of blue to keep them compact if you can.

I'm using a 4000K HLG now. Figuring out the feeding is impossible. I have the same problem as last time; they show deficiency then I feed 1/2 strength and it's too much. Hopefully someone knows the secret recipe and shares. These are the hardest plants I've ever grown- trying different things to make it work.

I wish I had advice for you but there are way better soil growers here than than me, including you.

What soil/nutes are you using?

Promix and dynagrow/bloom mix so its almost like hydro except I tip dressed with EWC and Strawberry Fields.

I remember that grow -didn’t you clone those Columbia in flower to get them to the finish ?

I did, but for some reason it revegged under 13hrs dark. Maybe they can't flower until they have enough roots? I've had lots of plant that delay flowering if I flip before a transplant takes hold. So IDK if I'll do any better this time, but I'm gonna try.

Colombian Saucyballs day 4. Colombian clones day 12; pretty sure they are getting roots now.

Getting warm there yet? We had flurries today! I’m not that far north of you.

We got to 92 last week,and back to 57 today. Supposed to rain all week; my tomato and peppers don't like it the turnips and onions love it. The carrots are just pissin me off now.

Is this a nute problem or invisible bugs? I got rid of the spider mites-or at least I can't see any. Thought maybe calcium so I added that last feeding.

Leaf Septoria?

Leaf Septoria?

Maybe? I don't see any black though and they aren't falling off, plus the rh has been good. I swear, I have more problems with this stuff. Normally I'd be half way to harvest now. Probably another 2-3 weeks before they make a pistil.

Day 8 for Colombian Saucyballs. 4 looks like I expected, but 1 looks like pure Colombian. It is entirely possible that it got some stray Colombian pollen I used to make the Saucy Colombian. I guess the only way to know for sure is to grow it. Problem is I'm not going to have room to grow all of them.

I'm not used to seeing you with nute problems. Your stuff always looks perfect.

The shape of the leaves are a bit strange on the larger group a few posts back. Are they taking after the parents? Any special feeding needs on those?

I get why you mentioned calcium, but does not really fit what I usually see for a Ca def.

IDK, the stems were pretty hollow. I never did get the Colombian right last time. It finished and made ripe seeds, but it wasn't pretty.

Looks like a tough plant to grow if you can't pull it off.

You know I'm a hydro guy and I should stay in my lane, but that girl you just posted looks hungy and really airy, like it's too hot. But that makes no sense being columbian- they are used to heat and humidity.

You have me scratching my head on this one.

It was summer and it was too hot. Plus I had just started using led and was probably too close. That was about day 145 flower. I'm sure it had root problems. Trying to learn from past mistakes, but it's gonna get too hot again pretty soon.

Day 13f. As I was mixing nutes today, I noticed the bottle is almost empty and I can hear solids in the bottom when I shake it. I usually don't bother testing ppm anymore because my good meter broke and the other one is not calibrated and cheap. So anyways 1tsp old nutes was 300ppm, the new bottle was 385 ppm. Depending on what the solids are though-maybe part of the problem?

What nutes are you using?

Dyna foliage plus and bloom. It's tough to dial in. They look hungry so you feed them half a dose, then the leaves curl like the 2nd pic.

I know nothing about your nutrients but that sentiment could possibly

this was 2 years ago day 37. 12-12 from seed. I threw them away and used the clones. This time Ive been able to keep them shorter, so I'm hoping I can flower these. Same batch of seeds from Medellin.

CSB day 9. The one in back looks purebred.
