Zen_seeker’s DIY Mixmash

[Zen_seeker]

Lights out right now and environment is:



That’s good sadly. Dehumidifier is running and grow room doors are closed.

Lights on the temps try for 30*c but I keep around 27/28*c. Humidity can be 38 to 58 in the same day. RH 43% is current target.

Other than the bronzing and burnt tips i think humidity is my biggest issue.

I have the Canna tri-fold leaf deficiency chart in the tent pouch. I’ll get that out when lights come on.

Starting with Zone 2, which is pre-Veg, I seem to see this type of deficiency with bronzing and Manganese type symptoms. This is the 3rd or fourth time, and second time this grow for Twin1.

Very frustrating. Bad timing as well. Going to be offline for two weeks starting on the 24th. So I have about 3 nights I can try to resolve this before I’m on my own.

Clip: (Toppers last clone.)



Twin1 isn’t showing any further signs of stress but I’m still not sure what caused it.


Only other top leaf with a brown spot. The finger beside the bud.


I’ll try to post a few pics before my two week absence.

It will be interesting to see the jump from week 5 to 8.

I will look into adding 3ml/3.5L ProCal next feed. Haven’t used epsom since GNick told me to leave it out.

Garden wise I haven’t been able to pop some old sunflower seeds. (To be fair it’s 10 year old wild bird seed from dads farm but I’ve seen the dam things sprout under the feeder FFS.)

The old lettuce seeds popped, but putting them in soil hasn’t helped any. They get another week before moving on.

30 minutes to make a post...now can I save it?

I think your humidity is to low brother. Usually K is a watering issue but think here it’s environmental. If you go by that chart you also cutting N a bit to soon

Thanks man.

Base is 4-0-0, grow was cut 2-2-4 and replaced with bloom 0-6-6.

I was going to add ProCal 2-0-0 next feed at 3ml or 4ml per 3.5L. Just haven’t looked up yet to see if that’s good.

Sounds like I was looking in the right direction. WDYT? (I’m watching without logging in as it’s a bit faster.)

Yeah id give it a dose of N just to get her to the finish line without major deficiency

Cool, this sound okay for next feed?

ml/3.5L

8 Base 4-0-0
13 Bloom 0-6-6
4 ProCal 2-0-0
3 Karma 0.1-0.1-0.5
3 Tea 0.5-0.5-1

Total 6.6-6.6-7.5

GNick’s schedule is 5-10-8 at this point but we never got to adjust mine to match with what I had before I got banned.

All my nutrients are on page one of my journal if that helps.

Crazy start to my day.

Twin1 was a bit droopy last night but still had a day to go by meter. But this morning I saw this 25 minutes before lights out.


Just managed to feed and take out runoff as lights went out. So much for a slow feed. Usually get 500ml runoff. Got 1.5Lthis time.

Then outside we had a new visitor move in. Probably from the food factory. I’m thinking rat. No chipmunks around here and I haven’t seen a red squirrel in a while. (Raptors moved into the area over Covid.)

Found a lot of dirt and a hole at the bottom steps.


Then I saw something has tried to eat the plants bark through the cage.


Don’t think rabbits can squeeze through but I know a rat could. Argh. Always something.

Garden is okay I think.

Early signs of light/heat stress?

300w light has been at 100% for Twin1 for over a week. And Solo is at higher LUX but not 100% for 450w.

Twin1: This is a few inches below top canopy.

This is the same above leaf. Has a bronze mark.
View attachment 8754

Top down. Burnt tips tonight. Not just yellow but black and crispy. Some of the fingers have burnt side points burnt too.
View attachment 8755

A few leaves at the outside look like this.
View attachment 8756

Solo is not showing anything but typical burnt tips. She’s further from the light.

Humidity and temp have been higher than I like but less than 55% RH & 28c. Lowest in the same week 36% RH & 22c.

Both plants seem to be getting the dark shadows on the leaves that signals purple is coming. IMO.

This would be week 5 now, 30 days after 12/12 flip.

Interesting as hello your observations, grow on brother. SS grower

 

[Zen_seeker]

This might be the last post for a few weeks.

Clones Flower Day 33 W5:

Solo: Seems okay but found a bronze spot last night. Turned down light just a tad.


Twin1:


To many of Twin1 bottom leaves are turning yellow or striped. IMO.

Twin1 healthy leaves on left and Solo is on right. Colour is much richer on Solo.


Twin1 bottom leaves.


Twin1 is all 10” lollipops.



Last feed for both was yesterday.


Pretty sure Twin1 has more than just a N issue but I suck at this.

Really hanging on me now so I guess this post is done.

@SSgrower I’m trying brother. Thanks for the feedback.

 

[Zen_seeker]

Looks like I was at least partly right about the light stress. (Sorry Moe I know it’s wrong but you know what I mean. )

Solo: The bronze mark doesn’t go under the upper leaf. Not exactly a smoking gun but good enough for now.

(I think the microscope glitched when the fan blew on the leaf. Shifted.)

She’s looks a bit more purple to me and starting to swell. A few pistils look dark now.


I hope she keeps improving.


Twin1: She’s enjoying the higher temps and humidity today. (Solo seemed happier too but Twin1... you judge.

One or two fingers with little burn marks but that’s it. So far. And not on the highest leaves. Otherwise she’s rocking it. All leaves pretty much horizontal top to bottom. Glad I got this on film, so to speak.

After this I’ll either BBQ at least one plant or have a last minute deficiency kick in. Probably started by overwatering. (As I’m learning to feed the plants when they say, not the meter.) Leaves really tell you a lot when healthy. Harder to read when unhealthy.

Wifey wanted to try the cucumber before she left. Just in case wildlife comes for it.

About 4.5” long and 2.5” diameter.


As promised it tasted great!
(Sorry, can’t remember who shared ATM.)

Environment the last little bit.



Almost forgot. I made this today. Had the idea a while ago but wasn’t sure if it would fly. It’s basically a weighted net. About 6’x4’ to go over Twin2. I think it can work but it’s the leftover cheap nylon 6” square holes net. Raining so It will have to wait.


Sounds like I’ll be able to check back one more time in the morning.

I apologize for missing everyone’s journals. I’ll try to catch up in a few weeks.

Hope I have some juicy bud pics to share in the near future.

Week 8 Flower Day 52:

For the last two weeks I switched to ProMix 3-6-12. The Botanicare KIND nutes didn’t seem to fit what I was hoping to do. Tossed in ProCal 2-0-0 last feed to help Twin1.

Twin1:


Solo:


Some buds:


Humidity and temps have been high, especially in night mode.

Each day of the heat wave was a fight with each night only bringing minor relief.

Surprisingly temperatures in the 28-32 Celsius range didn’t cook things as long as the humidity was between 40-50 percent. Or so it seems.

Bumping the SCROG light above the 300w LUX seems to have improved bud production but also started bleaching/burning of leaves and pistols after a few days. I put it up and down from day to day depending on the tent and room temperatures.

I have noticed that the heatwave killed or at least slowed the purple onset of color. Solo has more purple but not like usual. I’m assuming it’s due to the higher lights out and on temperatures.

Both are getting yellow washed out leaves but Solo looks good. Twin1 seems to always have a few yellow every lights on. While Solo is more weekly.

 

[Zen_seeker]

Twin2:


Trimmed the base and thinned out middle a bit. Rabbits are becoming a problem.

 

[stonemason]

Looking great.

 

[Zen_seeker]

Looking great.

Thanks man.

I think this week marks my first year. Crazy how time flies.

 

[Zen_seeker]

Had to turn down the lights. To hot the last few days and humidity is not letting up. Fear a BBQ is coming.



Top two are Twin1 the rest Solo.

 

[SweetLeafGrow]

For 2023 I decided to start rolling with douche nozzle.

I know I'm late to this party but I like to strengthen douche by adding a descriptive.

Brothel Douche Bag

It's the red light district douche.

Think this was meant for another thread bud but thanks for the visit.

 

[Zen_seeker]

Had to move things around. Twin1 is about 6’ at the top three branches. Also made some rabbit changes and solar night lights.

Finally getting enough rain to call a watering. Took most of the day just making humidity. No different working in the rain or when it stopped. Just as damp.

Cooler temps coming. Can’t wait.

 

[Zen_seeker]

Can’t sleep so pics in the rain. Miss having a porch. Gazebo is close but not quite the same.

Riding, bike or motorcycle, was also cool some nights in the rain.

I’d walk Willow but she’s not a fan. Hard enough getting her to pee in the rain.

Basement humidity is up to 80% with the all day rain. Tents fighting to stay at 55%.

Think tomorrow is going to be worse. More rain. More humidity but cooler temps start.

Few days old pics:


Had to turn both lights in flower to 75% which is about 500 LUX.

Twin2 has had bug issues and was throwing 3 fingered and 3 fingers with a thumb leaves. (I kid you not.)

All have had heat and high humidity issues. But who hasn’t?

Just busy and exhausted.

Flower Day 59 Week 9:

Solo:


Twin1:


Twin1 is drooping. Branches are heavy. Had to start soft wire supports. At least this is a good problem.

Purple is coming again. More in patches up top. Pretty sure every leaf has the claw and canoe from humidity.

Feeding tomorrow.

Same problem as me. When I was trimming this run I ran out of jars so I had to go raid the pantry for empty spaghetti sauce and pickle jars.

Wife and son picked up 4 big jars for me a month or two back. We might need a few more.

Thinking about giving the healthier buddies branches from Twin2. They can jar their own. No one remembers to return them so far, but only been twice.

Here are the current plants.

The cannabis plants are all my own clones now. I grew the plant from seed and liked it’s older sister so much I cloned these before I even knew the sex. (Only had one male out of more than a dozen pop.)
