Tempting Fate ................

Hello Happy :) , How are you ? .................... well I hope :)
Hmmm they seem reasonably healthy so far, "little runty's" bottom leaves seem to be dying off quite early though ................ sooner than usual.
Oh and I noticed this morning that another one's bottom leaves seem to be starting to go the same way ....................... never mind the new growth seems fine ;)


I'll just post two pics from this morning, that will be the start of day thirteen since sprouting ............................ I'm even keeping count of the days now :o



love mand xxx:)

Mand so when do u think you'll switch to flowering?

Hello Buk :) , I really don't know love, it's going to be a long grow this time ;)

I'm just trying to think when, it's nearly the end of March now so prehaps something like end of May beinging of June possibly ?

I think I've been inducing to soon on the last few grows so I'm going to try and let them get a little more mature this time if everything goes ok :o


love mand xxx:)

:eek: WoW Mand end of May. Yeah I guess it is going to be a long wait but I'm pretty sure you will have great results, are also going to give them more time before you cut them at harvest time? As for me I think I might go and switch in the Middle of April:thumbsup: So are you going to top ur plants this time around?

Hello again Buk :), well I will be pinching them if they survive that long :o

I'm not kidding Buk I really could swear, this growing lark has become a right old pain in the arse this last year:( .
I don't think the runt will last much longer the rusty coloured patches are spreading and there is a little on the leaf of another plant. Anyway I've rasied the light slightly as the leaves have a dry feel to them, I'm wondering if it might be that causing the problem.
Also if things manage to settle down I think that a little re-potting wouldn't do any harm quite soon.

Honestly Buk if I felt more secure doing it I would pack the lamp away and do one great big outdoor grow a year, it's so much easier.

Well love I think I'll just go and have a sulk now :o ;)



love mand xxx:)

Give these plants some hope I'm sure they will pull through. How did u make ur composet this time did u use ur famous reciepe like u always do? Oh Mand I dont like to hear u worrying over the plants I know ur a phenominal grower and can pull this one through. Dont worry so much they are "tough little buggers".;)

Oh mand your poorly little babe :(
The re-potting sounds a really good move, fingers crossed the runt does pull through for you.
Hope it's nothing worse than heat damage, though when you said it had spread to the bottom leaves of another plant i can't help but think 'pathogen'.
After catching up on all your updates i'd say not starting the skunk seeds was a very good more, widows respond very nicely to some training & will fill your growroom nicely. :thumbsup:

I'll be watching nervously for your next update of the runt mand :o


PS. Thanks for taking the time to have a look at me JTR, she's been a real pleasure to grow thus far. :p

Hey, Mand. How's it going? :)

The plant's are looking nice -- we can only hope 'the runt' pulls through, but I'm sure it will. So no worries about that.

Then let's hope they survive that long.

Hello Buk :) , I was a bit annoyed yesterday :o
You know it's was one of those days were absolutely nothing goes right ...................... mind you most days tend to be a bit like that :rolleyes:
Mind you I seriously would do one big outdoor grow a year if I felt comfortable about security, it really is so much easier and I think it's a more natural way of growing.
It does have it's problems though, the buds tend to be looser due to the limited sunlight but the biggest problem I found was "bud rot", I lost quite a decent percentage of buds due to the wet and damp weather we have around harvest time.
Hmmm just thinking a greenhouse would be good ;)



Hello alchemiser :), I think you've hit the nail on the head so to speak .................... heat ;)

I actually put a thermometer in there for the first time ever because I was concerned about the cold. Anyway I put it at the side of the plants and it was reading around 60 - 70F. However last night I moved the light up and put the thermometer on the plant pots, anyway this morning after the light had been on only for about half an hour I saw it was reading nearly 80F, which means with the light being so close it must have been getting awfully warm under there. So I'm hoping that I have just frazzled them a bit :o
I think they are looking better today and I have also nipped the damaged leaves off, I never keep damaged leaves on I think they just take energy away from the good leaves.
I reckon that the leaves felt far too dry as well, which also pointed to a heat problem.
It's just a matter of waiting now to see if that cures the little problem ;)



Hello Kush :) Ah I think I've just been making silly little mistakes and I'm hoping they go ok now.
To be honest I've had my mind on other things just lately so maybe the growing has been a bit more "half arsed" than it usually is :o



love mand xxx:)

Looking good Mand
