Seeds or clones, source? Seeds, Purple Kush
How old are the plants? 8 weeks into flowering
How big are the plants? 2 1/2 feet average
Lighting wattage & distance? 1000W HPS, 2 feet
Soil ingredients or hydro system? Soil, OceanForest, 1 cup guano added per bag.
Container size? 3 gallon pots
Watering frequency? How do you judge this? When top 2 inches gets bone-dry
Fertilizers used and how often? Calcium and Algamic every 2 weeks (until week 3), one shot of Bio-Bizz Bloom mixed with Fish-Bloom at week 5.
How do you ventilate the space? Good ventilation
Other details? Include photos if possible. Foliar with (alternating) Calcium/Magnesium, Algamic, Fish Mix -- every 3 days, stopped at week 3 of 12/12.
These plants looked great during veg. I babied them, foliar-ing them every few days with everything good. At 2 weeks into flowering, they still looked healthy (lush green, shiny leaf surface) and formed big, nicely-shaped flower-clusters. I kept waiting for the resin to form on them, but at week 5 of 12/12 they were dry as a bone. Now they're big bushy colas, lots of long healthy-looking white hairs -- but no resin.
My friend just finished these same seeds -- awesome quality, so it's not genetics. At week 7 of 12/12 I tested my soil pH, hard to know how accurate it is with soil but it read 5.8. I figured if the reading was off a bit it could really be 5.5 which would be nute lockout. I added GH pH Up to tapwater (7.4) to bring it up to 9.7, drenched them in that (takes a lot to pull soil pH up).
2 days later re-tested soil and it was at 6.4 - perfect. In the week since then I've noticed a very light resin-formation for the first time, but it's not anywhere near where it needs to be. And also now they are shooting out fresh long white-hairs, as if they've decided to start flowering from the beginning all over again. And theyâ??re healthy-looking flowers......... Totally confused.
