CannaGranny’s Corner a Thread For General BS and Good Will On BudBuilders

CannaGranny said:
That’s how you learn! Try it all. This one has me on my ear! I have thrown worm tea at her, top dressed her with worm castings and watered them in, seaweed, farmers pride grow, flower girl, and an organic bat guano tea. Not many tricks left in my bag.
She is super pissy about water too. She needs water a full day before everyone else, uses double the water of the others. If you let her get the least bit dry, she will droop and shed leaves.
I’d like to say will be my last grow of her, but I know it won’t, as I’ll swing at it again until I figure it out. Is my nature.

Some plants are just nutrient pigs. Sounds like you got one there.

So that probably explains some of the other issues besides the leaves being eaten up looking for N. At this point I would just ride it out with your normal nutrients. There is so much other stuff in the media I really do not think you can fix it!

Just so you know, all of those things are a part of my regimen on the regular at different stages of my grows. The only thing this Lady has got that the rest did not was a top dressing with worm castings at week three when she started to burn the N and a couple of days ago some flower girl watered into the soil.
After the top dressing she corrected herself and was looking up. At week 4.5 she began to yellow again.
Im just hoping we can make it a couple of weeks to which time I would have taken her to plain water.
So it’s not like I have just assaulted her with N.
Im trying to learn how to handle her next time. Cross your fingers for me!

Do you have any calcium nitrate?
 
Anthem275 said:
Can you mix about 10 grams in a gallon of water and at the same time use your standard nutrient feed?
Click to expand...
I can, I will try that. I’ve never had a calcium deficiency as my water is full of calcium and I also know that calcium increases the uptake of nitrogen while in flower. At this point, I’d be open to trying it though!

Calcium Nitrate is the main Nitrogen component in most nutrient mixtures. The extra calcium will not be a problem, adding the calcium nitrate to see if it will stop the plant consuming leaves. I just looked up Molders Chart to see if there is an interaction between N and CA, did not see anything. . So I am a little lost on that part.

Isn’t Calcium Nitrate the result of combining calcium and nitrogen? Maybe I misunderstood that process?
My info about cal causing a bigger nitrogen uptake came via an old grower.
Anyways what I have on hand is 50-0-0. That work?
 
Man oh man what a gorgeous moon tonight! Full and orange. Called the Beavers Moon. I know I’m gonna be chasing it around the yard with a camera. If you can see the moon where ever you are, it’s worth the look up.
 
Sounds like she wants a 30 gallon pot....this is that outdoor legend plant right? Maybe she just wants to make a redwood tree

😆🤪

I'd like to say my plant I had during my first run that I cloned and took outdoor was similar...just hungry and eating herself up....one thing that I did notice is I had 2 soils and the one I'd say had more nutrients to it held green longer.

No, this is that Virginia strain.
This is the only one I have ever had to do this. I just have to assume there is something different about her.

Yes and no. Calcium Nitrate is a solid dry salt. Is comes together and forms a molecule that combines both of these. It is like 15.5-0-0 and 18 percent calcium. Once it comes into contact with water is breaks down to calcium and nitrogen.
Use 4 grams of your 50-0-0 in 1 gallon and see if it stops the plant from taking nitrogen out of the leaves.
 
Mornin ya Menz!
Gonna be another pretty day in the Zarks this morning. Sunshine and a high of 60*. Crazy weather for us. More like Northern Florida. I’m not complaining! Already has saved me a pallet of expensive hardwood pellets. Also giving me a chance to burn off a bunch of softwood pellets that are not such heat producers.
Going to hit the problem child with some calcium nitrate today. Fingers crossed that this fixes her ills!
Thank you to all that has chimed in and helped to plot this course of action. Big thanks to @Anthem275 !

Morning PAL.

Glad you have a plan. Even with data not much help for you here. 😞
Glad you’re able to use the softwood pellets. Hate to waste things. I had wondered earlier if it was worth it to mix the two pellets together? Burn a little faster but a little warmer…IDK?

All the hype about seeds and auction had me go look. Bastards…I got hooked. 🤦

Woke up early and took a peek at the auction again…could have saved another $7 if I had waited. 🤣
So not going back any time soon. To tempting and it’s supposed to be the season of giving. 🎄

Have a great day all.

Mornin mah friend Zen!
On the pellets, I’ve never mixed them as the flow rate has to be set for the hardwood and it’s a bit different than the softwood. I only bought the softwoods as they were all that was available during that nasty C word. Man, what a difference they are too. Burn much dirtier and not near the btu’s of the hardwood.
I had a pallet and a half left, I’m down to about ten bags. Be glad to see the end of them!
Sooo, what did ya buy at auction?
 
Went in but had a 3 out 3 consensuses that what was being asked was not going to happen today~!
IMPOSSIBLE to be on roof with a dusting and even an 85 foot lift. Safety first~!(y)

My work is in the valleys of death~!:oops:
Try again tomorrow~!;)

Fed my seedlings full dose 3-2-1 this am and they look happy still in solos.
3 out 4 of my DFG are above soil so that looks good also~!
Just installed new 'filter' in humidifier and think it may be helping?

First week of November I was looking to get a friend a gift and found this.

Went back on the long weekend to get a second to share and found things to crazy.

Stopped by last night and picked up this.

I was watching/looking for G$ but had an urge. 🤷‍♂️

We stayed home too.2 windy to hang a tarp here and run heat. I don't mind the cold but the stone and mortar hate it.

Holy smokes! Man, what a pitch! Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
I’m prepping to bag all of my seedlings. So far, so good!
I got rid of my humidifier that had to have filter changes. The filter was running eighty dollars and needing changed about every six weeks due to lime and calcium content of my well water. This new one is a pain in the ass to clean, but much cheaper to run.
Do you add balls to your water? (No remarks from the joke section) this helps a lot!IMG_1472.jpeg
 
First replacement.
I let the other one get 'funky'.
I don't expect regular replacements but found mine for $24.
Not bad.
I am wondering about something in the water though.
My lights shine right down into it.....
Enough to form algae.....

Mine has a sterilization UV light in it. Mine also has balls! Blue balls to be exact 😂🤣🥹
They actually seem to really help, as long as I remember to change them out once a month.
 
Morning fam!

I've been absent, had a nasty cold for a week I'm just now getting over. Missed Thanksgiving with family and everything 😔

Cold AF here... Lung room got down to 62 yesterday, lights off.

So this is my first go for making chocolate.... Still happy with outcome. Came out of mold clean. I have a few tricks to try to do better next time, higher fat cocoa or add a lil infused coconut oil to raise fats.

I touched the top right before picture and didn't realize till after the pic that you can see it, oh well

I made two bars, 3.5 for each.
