hi peeps:)
im well into the flower zone now, got some chunky looking buds forming, and resin glands starting to appear on about 20% of the little bud leafs.
after the hermie scare i over reacted and topped one of the plants, but its top bud i chopped had previous light burn and was growing in a very suspicious way.
the two secondary buds laying underneath were more than happy to take on the job....a bit stuntted,its fallen behind the otherplants in terma of development but i guess thats only to be expected.
......no more signs of hermie ...........yet
one plant is causing a bit of a concern, most of its primary sun leaves have this creeping brown/yellow problem that starts at the tips of the lower leaves and is gradually working its way inwards and upwards.
other plants are also having this problem but its not half as advanced as it it in this one.
during this grow, ive learned a very valuable lesson, which is...
its better to take no action untill you know for sure exactly what the problem is, rather than jumping to conclusions and making the problem worse.
my theroy is...
im using pre-fertilised miracle grow soil, and now realise, *i think* the problem being the time-released nute in this soil, is that you get random, unpredictable "spurts" or even overdoses of certain nutes.
i was kinda wary of this potential problem when i set out, so ive held out using extra fert.
ive given the plant 3 doses of 10-9-19 at half stregnth in total, one right when i switched the lighs over, one when i saw a good ammount of white haier, and one a few days back, so spaced over about 3/4 weeks.i think that coupled with the random pockets of nute in the soil may be the problem, or at least a contributory factor.
