OMG

Actually every one of you hit it.

It is at end of life. The BloomBastic has very, very high amounts of P&K. When I figured out it was a week older than I thought....goof on calendar (and not divulged on purpose)....I decided I better flush it quick. It turned this in 2 days. I even flushed again after this picture and it damn near dropped every sun leaf. ... save on trimming them off, self trimming weed...yah....I am really getting lazy in my old age.....oops off on rant. Back to at hand. It also was very root bound, and the bottoms of the root ball were beginning to brown at kill a week later. Because of the N being flushed out of the Ocean Forest, there became an immediate N deficiency and thus the yellowing and leaf dying.

The whole point of this post is to:
1. Play and have a good time.
2. Show, that all that is yellow is not necessarily bad.
3. Everything you do to a plant shows up later and can be hard to figure out. Fast movements can equal disaster.
4. One thing can lead to another and the waterfall effect always has to be considered.

Hope we had fun doing this.

:yippee:
Yay we all won...............
So is our prize that we get to try that Washougal Widow ;)

Great thread WW:thumbsup: kind of a "reverse engineering". I hope that some of those that freak out over every little thing, see's this and learns to relax a bit.:jointsmile:

FoxFarms Ocean Forest.
Aired tap water a quart or so every other day or so....depending on temps.
(It has been very cold last 2 weeks during nites, temps in 50's in garden.)
5 weeks at 12/12 1400 W HPS hortilux.
BloomBastic 3 weeks ago at 1/2 mfg dose.
Molasses 1/2 tsp per gal per week.
It is currently the only plant in the garden doing this. (Washougal Widow)

Looked like it is dry so I watered it a lot and let it dry, then after the next watering this happened in 3 days.

I already know what it is, just looking to see what folks can figure out from what I gave you. I will advise Rusty Trichome what it is in advance so I can't be swayed to change my mind.

Let's play :jointsmile:

well, this should be fun. your using bloombastic...your not to use it when pk is high, as it is an additive of pk. so molasses probably wasnt neccessary. then you said half strength bloombastic so maybe some molasses was needed. id say watering in this case is not the problem as it was dry; assuming everything else is correct(ph, ppm, etc). affects of bloombastic will be noticed in 2-4 days which would lead me to conclude that N is low and any result of this use was incurred by the user based on the flower time of the strain. of course there are other factors such as...was it transplanted in ffof, were there any other feeds or adds, cold could play a small factor but not in 3 days, strain, ph,pot size, blah blah blah, rusty would say fill that f'in form already:D

I agree...awesome thread and good lesson ;)

LOL, me too

my question now is, what did u cross the widow with to shorten the flower time..from what i understand, white widow takes 8 to 10 weeks to finish

OOOOOHHHH! new game!!!! :D


Guess the cross!


well,... Washougal later posted that he goofed on the calendar, and it was over a week older than first posted, and it was harvested about a week or 2 later, depending on interpretation of wording.

So 7-8 weeks.....

AK47 has a short flowering cycle, but that would be "White Russian" (white widow x AK47)


Soooooo,.... not being a breeder nor much caring to try. I'm tapped.

Frankly I do not know what the father was, Northwest Mint maybe. It retains all of the widow traits except grows like a pure indica. Just as hard to clone as the parent is too. Pure accident and the only seed in that harvest. Maybe I should get some nanners on her and see if I can feminize her? Or cross with another heavy frost plant.

Actually, OMG is a saying that's been around since the early 80's. (the movie Valley Girl) That would be like running WW up the flagpole for using CIA or FBI as a texting shorthand. Nice try though. :jointsmile:
