Growing a crop by reading the plants and not a schedule! - Rodelization

[Weed Pharma]

I decided to keep ahead of the routine and give her a more complete defoliation as she has responded well before and the pot was light, but not very droopy.

A look at the leaves showed some deficiencies.

#1 pic potassium deficiency is showing - not isolated to one part of the plant.

#2 pic shows a general need for nutrients (not just Cal/Mag- which she has had plenty of) as the stems are purple-yet the underside is green. (genetics will purple the stems all the way around).
Once fed it should return to green.

I added bat guano (N), micro (N + micro nutrients) and koolbloom (K&P) to the usual watering with suppliments.


AND we wait!


"Schedules? We don't need no stinkin' schedules!"

[MBVapester]

I was not aware of the purple/green thing either. Here I was liking it in my garden.

[FlyingDutchPaddy]

I wasn't aware of that either, sub'bed now!

[Weed Pharma]

MBVapester, you should like it- a sign of a growing garden- you don’t always have to react to it.
In this case, the soil nutrients are getting used up over time.
Many times the plant will catch up with the need without any actions on your part.

[Weed Pharma]

Some space free up in the tent, so I decided to transplant into a 5 gallon pot.
If she flowers, the 3 gallon fabric pot- wouldn't hold enough water if she doubles in size etc..
I found no bugs, no balls and no bloom signs (pistils).
The root ball was as hard as a rock/dry- even though I watered her about 7 hours ago. I didn't dare mess with it or try to loosen the roots but watered with 1 gallon of pHed water to run off.

Put her in the window until the tent lights come on.


"Schedules? We don't need no stinkin' schedules!"

[Weed Pharma]

Take a look at what 2 hrs in window and 2 hrs in tent has done; to this transplant!




The leaves are getting horizontal, to obtain the maximum light from the CoB and she has perked up- remarkably.

It remains to be seen if she gets out of "Cannabis Adolescence" and creates pistils.

Looking great after both of those

[Weed Pharma]

Thank you.

[Weed Pharma]

"Same old Sistah"- different day.

No changes- defoliated

<--BEFORE & AFTER-->>

I decided to just give Dyna-Gro Bloom (2mls) as it's a complete (basic) non-salt nutrient, until she makes a move!

[oldjarhead100]

Saturday will be my 3 week mark so I have to get in there and trim them up

[oldjarhead100]

hey Weedpharma those blue waterier things do they clog up alot I ended up cutting off the terminal drippers and just have the 1/4 tubing it works lol

[Weed Pharma]

I haven't had them clog up. but use mostly clear solutions. -Si, Cal/Mag, GH Trio etc
I have used seaweed and molasses based suppliments too. -Liquid Karma, Extreme serene and Trinity

[Weed Pharma]

Removed the 2 bottom node sets and a cut her down to size- as she is getting too big.



It's past the point, of a sane grow- going on 10 weeks -->> no flowers - no balls <-- Treating it like a house plant!
I may put her up for adoption, lol

[oldjarhead100]

today is the end week 4 of 12/12 and no pistils yet

[Weed Pharma]

I haven't adjusted light- she is getting 20/4 - 24/0 .

[Weed Pharma]

Sometimes, you just have to let them go free.

I kicked her out of the house! (tent)
Maybe she will learn to grow up on her own, lol.


I expected many variables to make the grow interesting - this was not one of them.

a little tough love

LOL

[Weed Pharma]

Exactly and if she grows up, she can come back in , lol

[George4green]

Crazy Mother Nature

[Weed Pharma]

And at the end of week #12, this happened!


I did a major defoliation before I noticed the pisitils.

Out of the window and back in a tent.

I'll take a closer look at her before the next feeding and start what's needed for bloom.
She has just had water and very light nutrients for the last 3 weeks.

[Weed Pharma]

Back into active management of this plant which was banished to the window sill,lol
Placed directly under the chilledlogic V2 LED- as the tent is full.
Noticed the browning leaves- which look like a pH issue- the damaged location is close to the fan, which may have contributed!
Still in bloom- and no signs of re-vegging- which I do not expect.
Overall she looks sparse from major defoliation just before noticing the pistils-
I fed the usual Si,Cal/Mag And Trinity (omitted root excellurator)- supplements.
Also provided a dose of micro, koolbloom. bloom booster and Myco along with Myco food to help get her fattened up and hopefully greener, as I'm careful not to add too much N.

[oldjarhead100]

Looking good

[Mr.furley]

It is looking good Weed Pharma
Do you feel that the time line on this plant is slower then the donor or is she keeping pace with just reading her needs?

[Weed Pharma]

Mr.furley, This plant is much slower than the original Jack (auto)- which had a 4 week veg timeline and this plant was 12 weeks to flower.
I don't think it has anything to do with the reading of the plant- but rather the fact the seed, was random (accidental seed) and not a stablized breeders product.
Certainly placing it on the window sill slowed it down- as I have done complete grows on the window sill (Journal #3) which increased the veg time.

[Weed Pharma]

A couple of days under the bright lights/resumption of nutrients for the flowering stage of development!


She has a huge trunk, but I'm a little concerned with the other branches, as I chopped her up to keep her small- when in the window.

[oldjarhead100]

way to use that sticky pad for a pointer lol

[Weed Pharma]

Away from the plants for a week = neglect, lol

drooping - watered 2 days ago. decide to use a root rake- to pull soil away.
a 2" moat =more oxygen to for roots canopy much lighter leaves



pulled branches away-defoliated-move the CoB away and fed - grow, Cal/Mag and SM90 for roots.
The plant is drinking a lot - will go to daily water.


"Schedules? We don't need no stinkin' schedules!

[Weed Pharma]

And- she has stalled again- I have removed her from the tent and placed on the window sill until it's warm enough to be outside.

I will end the thread here and only post if she uses her summer wisely, lol

[oldjarhead100]

I thought you were going to say fork it lol good luck looks like this will be the last cold night 35 for awhile ,I will be moving plant to the green house either today or tomorrow

[Weed Pharma]

LOL, I have- eventually the fall frost will get her!
