Hello :)
Well I wasn't going to post an update for a while but I have a feeling that everything is not well :(
The problem is that the leaves are starting to look "limper" by the hour.
You know when anything like this happens, I just wish they would die off so I can start a new fresh lot ;)
feeling kinda sad :( .....................but these things happen ;)
love mand xxx :)
Youll probably have to wait for a more professional opinion, But I think they look great :D not that helps ofcourse... Maaaaaybe hmm lemme think no well OK only thing I can come up with is over watering and I'm sure youve thought of that already :eek:
Hi mand,
The pictures suggest that you may be dealing with Phosphorus problem. What medium are growing? How is your pH ? How is the grow rate of your plants ?
Hello Guys :)
The medium is my homemade compost, I've been using that for the last 6 - 7 years with no problems....................but theres always a first time ;)
The Ph value, well that's something I've never bothered about, I know it has something to do with the alkaline and acidity content of the soil but that's it really :o
The rate of growth has been quite phenominal, it is prehaps one of the fastest growing crops I've ever grown.
Over watering is a possibility, you see I have the little condensation problem I described on the last page of this thread, and since that started I've noticed the drooping.
So I've now got the growroom door wide open and a fan blowing in there to try to dry things out ;)
Thankyou guys for you're suggestions I really do appreciate it :)
love mand xxx :)
Hey Mand, with good genetics, I have found that the roots grow much faster than schwagg...and I just re-potted 2 of my blues and they were borderline rootbound...I re-potted them and they grew an inch overnight...you can do it...I would...latewood
..no food or clean clothes...roflmao........
Hello Latewood :)
Firstly love you're going to have to bear with me on writting this as I am quite ..........well I've had a couple of joint's and it's going to take forever to write it :o
Firstly I don't think it's a nutrient deficany problem, I've never had that before. Also there in seperate pots and this is upseting all the plants, so I'm not convinced it is a nutrient problem ?.
They are definetely root bound in there pots, but then again they always are :o ...............I really should use bigger pots though ;) The next grow I'm going to grow fewer plants and in bigger pots :)
I think it's the condensation/humidity problem it's bad. Of course I made it worse I noticed the leaves drooping and I thought they were thirsty, so I watered them more :o . It's that bad that the door has swelled up so much I have to use a screwdriver to prise it open :(
Anyway I have the door open and a fan blowing in there despretely trying to dry the place out.
I really have never know it this bad before.
Oh dear that took some typing :stoned:
love mand xxx :)
Oh Latewood :) can you tell me what Schawgg is :o
excuse my french...shitweed!
I have a real good...Oh before I forget; you know I was answering your question. Not calling your plants shitweed, right? right!...
...Ok I have a real good option for you...I read this on a site called treatingyourself.com...
It is a mmj site/community-canada...anyway, one of their
Moderators; Pflover, replied in a thread about replanting...something along these lines... :thumbsup:
Just lay an unopened bag of potting mix on it's side, slice an X in the middle,
the same diameter as your little pots, then take plant to be re-potted and
remove it from pot and set it in a hole I dugout in the opening of the bag.
Then scratch up the outer sides of the rootball and work into a nice mound.
Poke holes in the bottom of the bag water and watch her thrive...
I think this is good advice...In your case, Mand, I thought that this would be a simple remedy to your need for root growth...and your wetness problems.
Take your compost and put it in a heavy trashbag...tie it up...set it beside
plant to be repotted...cut hole in bag...scoop out enough to make a hole for
your baby, and set her in there. don't forget drainage. this wouldn't work for
everybody, but it sure could be a quick-save for you...
...the idea has got to be tried by somebody...latewood
Hello Latewood :)
I'm still trying to dry the place out, I have the door open and the fan blowing in there ;)
I like the sounds of what you suggest but I'm just going to give it a litle more time to grow as normal because I'm really tight for space.
I used to grow them in smaller pots than this :eek: that's why I never worried about the roots.
Anyway like I said at the begining of this thread it's probably a bad idea to do a journal in case they all die.................. :( . It will be such a shame if that happens because up untill now it really has been one of the fastest grows I've ever done.
Well today I am just about to go out shopping :) , so Ill leave the door open and fan on and see what happens.
Thankyou Latewood ;) .........................love mand xxx :)
Hi Mand, I just wanted to say thanks for your postings on here. I'm new to growing and have been reading ALOT of the threads on this site. So many helpful people sharing, way cool! :pimp:
I'm on my second grow right now and find that I'm really pulled to your growing philosophy of keeping it simple. On the first gro I started with three seedlings, two died and the third turned out to be a male. With this gro I started with ten seedlings and only two died. They're in a rather small fish tank and maybe a bit crowded but if I cut the light back in another two weeks and remove the males I think I should be able to bend the remaining females around into the open spots and get some good secondary growth. I'm also using your stick idea and getting them use to the idea of bending in the direction that I belive I'm going to want them to go.
Any feedback that you or the other super growers on here could give me would be much appreciated.
The first pic is an overview of the tank, the second pic is of the "Baby Girl" she hasn't changed apperance in the two weeks these gals have been growing. I've sorta become attached to her and would like to see her make it. :o Any ideas?
