Abuse by Neglect Grow

[Weed Pharma]

I have roughly 60 days to go on my last grow of the year- some extra soil & a strain I have never grown.

Northern Lights Auto by seedsman is a 55-60 day plant with low nutritional needs, my 3 gallons Roots Organic Original should carry it.
I have a corner in my 2x4 tent under 200w (total) CoB&ChilledLogic puck- so will only use overlap/indirect light.

I plan on doing as little as possible and expect the same in results- Lets see what happens!

6 oz plain water over seed and 2 oz in outter germbag.


Placed a 5 oz plastic cup over the seed and banished to the corner of the tent @ 20/4 schedule.
I'll check for a sprout in 3-4 days!

THAT'S IT- water and top if needed.

Subbed. Can’t wait for my germ bags to come in!

[SoOrbudgal]

OK I subbed. I love easy peasy.

[Weed Pharma]

Too close to the fans and the seed's germbag was drying out-
Moved away and added 2oz to inner germbag to insure seed stays moist!

[SoOrbudgal]

Good catch way to stay on top of "neglect" LOL it's that simple when good growers pay abit of attention and have some knowledge of growing.

[Weed Pharma]

LOL, I know- I noticed when my head was in the tent- topping the plant next to it!

[Weed Pharma]

I looked under the cup last night! (day#4).
I would guess- by the stretching for light- it's been above ground for 1 day.
Removed cup/dome.

I watered with just 1 teapsoonful (5mls plain water) over the seed helmet (to soften) and at the stem.

Time to let it dry out for 4-5 days, so it doesn't dampen off.

[SoOrbudgal]

And she's off and running

[CanadianaJonez]

Subbed. I learn something from every one of your grows! Thanks for sharing!

[Weed Pharma]

Looks slightly stunted - 500mls water in the germbags and another 500mls around the germbags.

[Weed Pharma]

She's an ugly duckling for sure!


growing well, so I moved her closer to the light!

Normally, I would be all over this with Si and CalMag- but not this time.
Let's see if she outgrows this!

[Weed Pharma]

SoOrbudgal, I have been using plain water- brita filetered for chlorine, 36ppm and a pH running 5.5-5.8 usually. No nute until last night when I added a small feeding dose of GH micro- before/after pics in a few days

[Weed Pharma]

alltatup, after you said this I looked and it is a mutant- with 2 sets of single leaves and the first real leaf set at the 3rd node. In the past I have had a Jack Herrer that looked like this, but grew out of it in a few weeks. I suspected stress & watering practices or lack of in this case, lol

[Farmall]

That’s the neglect part....

[s62]

See attached. What’s your guess? (Assuming ours are suffering a similar fate)

[SoOrbudgal]

Ya know fellas I have one large branch with that mottling since in july on a burnt cookie strain. I've not seen it go anywhere but on that one plant and branch. The buds aren't any smaller or seem to have been effected at all. I don't know what it is I thought TMV but honestly I don't know it's not seemed to harm the plant at all for me.

[s62]

Mine is getting worse. More mottling, leaf texture degrading, physical deformations to leaves. Seeing it now on plant next door. Hoping it halts there. Waiting and watching and crossing my fingers that someone here has an answer.

[Weed Pharma]

s62, I'm not sure- usually the plant outgrows it !! but have grown one that persisted:

[SoOrbudgal]

I just went outside to empty the f-ing rain off the canopy looked closer at it again. It has not gone to any other plant it is only on one large brance the leaves now have a more lighter more off tan look with mottling?? The buds are smaller at closer inspection look almost like first budlets appear. So it is affecting the quality of the one branch i'm contemplating removing it. Damn it's a tough year for me here, my others are getting worrisome with this early rain.

[Weed Pharma]

And she gets ugly enough to act on: This was 2 days ago and I added a light feeding of GH micro.


Today: Notice the brown spots on lower leaves developed along with the mottling = Calcium issues




New growth looks OK- The pot is heavy, so will wait and then begin Si/Calcium with water.



The other issue is the first two leaf nodes are single leaves only-first one is stunted and one normal except for Calcium issue.

Since I'm certain of the nutritional issues- these leaves will be removed, the next time I water the plant, but the pot is heavy as she has just started to grow well.

[SoOrbudgal]

So Weed Pharma you think that mottling is a calcium issue in the soil? Hmmm i'm wondering if it's the seed strain that feels the deficiency? I used same mix with all my outdoor and only one showed this issue. She is strong grower, no other issue but mottling on one branch never traveled further. It's a cookie strain that's showing this on mine.

[Weed Pharma]

Mottling can be from many nutrients/minerals- it wasn't until I saw the developed brown spots, that assured me it was Calcium.
I've only had it last this long, one other time, so not sure if it's strain/watering/soil etc.
After I started routinely adding Si and Cal/Mag to ROO my grows improved dramatically.

[SoOrbudgal]

I don't have brown, just mottling i'm not worried anymore just don't want bud rot at this point.

[Weed Pharma]

She has been sufficiently neglected this week- lifeless-drooping this morning!

gave 1.5 liters watering with Calcium & topped

At 20 days topside- she has bounced back for more neglect!

[alltatup]

She is a true sucker for punishment!
