This is AK47 in day 47 of flower. Coincidence?
The leaves are getting pretty yellow on 6 plants, but not on 2. Why? The two healthy-looking ones in the middle of the scrog are identical in every way, except for what happened to them during cloning.
All plants get the same nutrients pumped from one reservoir on one timer. As far as I can tell all plants exist in identical conditions. All plants are from one mother. Here's the difference: I thought that I was not going to use those 2, so they set in the aerocloner for 10 days. That's 10 days without a direct light source, and only a tiny bit leaking in from another room. 10 days without air flow. 10 days without any circulation in the water, or any moisture on 80% of the roots. Only about 1/2 inch of roots remained in the water.
I thought these plants were dead. I decided to put them in the system with the others, 10 days after the others, more for an experiment than anything else. They came back to life, ended up about half the size of the others, and look in much better health. Was it the stress that hardened them up and made them SuperPlants? Or what else could have happened?
And furthermore: This is only my second grow with the AK47's and the yellowing happened last time to all the plants. I have heard of the leaves yellowing during flowering from many others so I assumed this was normal. But the 2 SuperPlants look so much better, like maybe they could go on flowering for another month. The others look like they need to be harvested.
What the hell is going on? I'm confused as to how this happened. I must be doing something wrong, but how can I be if those two are so healthy? Do the yellowing ones look normal to you guys. Well that's kind of a dumb question considering how normal the 2 good ones look. I guess what I mean is, is the yellowing during flowering normal for AK's?
