No Title
Friends, it is with my head down and my pride shoved down my throat that I face you tonight (drama time baby! It's the lucky hour!). My negligence, stonery and procrastination have culminated into one motherfucking stressful week at the Acres, pardon my French. Read this and remember, what not to do. As it always does around here it started with thrips. I sprayed them once then another time a week later. Bad. Follow up within 2-3 days max. Damn it lucky you know better! Yup, I do. Part of my other business is to use pesticides(not the friendly ones) and I hate mixing the stuff and spraying, can't stand it. So I do it as little as needed and it works out fine. Not so much with a (potential) cash crop. So thrips "came" back again and again...to the point I had to do something and do it right the first time. Grow shop stoner dude suggested azamax at 1oz per gallon 3 or 4 days in a row. Fine by me. Desperate times...the result is on the pictures, droopy hell hole of a shed...for x y z reason...
Another thing to consider is my frankensteining of nutes feeding. Realized that emerald harvest's sturdy stalk and cal mag should be used on water only days. Been using it every time I feed them but straight h2o on water days. Maybe that's what causes the curling of those top new shoots on the veggers? Also, and I feel stupid having thought it was going to be fine, I have left over tiger bloom from AN. Been adding it to emerald harvest nutes for the bloomers, all of it full doses....tsss, tsss, tsss, lucky what the fuck where you thinking? I wasn't apparently, not at all...nutes lock up causing the curling down? And drooping? Last feeding was Sunday. Run offs were phed at 6-6.5. Same with soil ph and nutes feed.
Also, could all the spraying of azamax coat the leaves so much that they're chocking? Could I water veg and flo with straight water to clean them up? Use a small amount of soap too?
Last but not least. The lec. Oh yeah sure go ahead, take away the t5 bay and replace it with a lec315 and after only a day or two against all the manufacturer's recommendations and basic common sense really, just drop the fucker about 13" from the top! It will be fine I promise! Sigh...burnt leaves...which I didn't see right away of course because the leds next to it turn everything purple! My one clue should have been the burning sensation on my hands every time I work under those lights, damn Damn brain!
So.........as of tonight Thursday, the last azamax spray for veggers(3rd appl.) and flowers(2nd appl.) was Tuesday am (no lights on etc...did that one right...). I flushed all the plants with phed straight water Wednesday night. Things seem to be improving slowly. The veggers, the new growth are reverting back away from the curling. The flowers, leaves are straightening up a bit, I think the chi has started to flow again. Thrips on the other hand are nowhere to be seen, that part seems to have worked. Once everyone is healthy again, I'll spray the veggers only one more time.
Right now I don't know what I'll end up with with all this stunted growth in this part of the cycle. Time will tell. Until then thanks for stopping by and yup go ahead kick right here, that's my ass, go for it, I deserve it...thanks...
