LEAF CLAW MYSTERY AT BUD SITE

[stinkyattic]

All right, I'm glad to see that your runoff is in range. That's a relief.

You should be running a flower nutrient with virtually no nitrogen in it from here on out.
Don't forget to mix extra perlite in your fresh soil. A large part of the problems caused by a plant being root-bound is that the roots can't BREATHE. This is especially important when it is chilly in your grow area.

I guess this is simply an issue of too many cooks spoiling the soup.

yeah, to many cooks, who all tell me to take a hike
I cant even walk. LOL

I have introduced two small space heaters - SOLEUS M12
# Supports a better health environment; doesn't burn oxygen or stir up dust -
# Produces bio-energy heat that promotes skin, cell, and circulatory health

All pots are up on insulation squares.

I have taken 15 out of 5gal and put them in 7gal
I have taken 15 out of 4gal and put them in 5gal
I left the rest alone, which all have no signs of the claw...

since other's are reading and keeping tabs.
I did this all alone from my wheelchair,
so don't think i didn't put any effort in

new medium:
soil/soiless mix - roots organic
mixed with lots of pearlite

any plants with the claw' have been replanted
even before the re-pot
some plants were snapping out of the worst claw' symptoms
- after only two rounds of adjusted feeding
where round one was just water and
round two was half normal solution.
leaves did not miraculously uncurl,
but new growth seems stable, upward, uninhibited


I bought all this out of pocket for a crop that will be split
I heard,
'your wasting alot of money and supplies,
and for what, a few inches of root growth,
I re-potted anyway, i figure I should do my best to create the best possible root environment, regardless

another friend told me that the specific strain I am growing,
the one with the worst claw signs (Mr.nice)
I was told flat out -
"Mr nice don't like to much food
you have to feed it less than everything else"

so probably this was all from too much nutes / N
and of course the sub-par root environment / cold
i guess different strains are fussy about different things
just like people....

cant wait to have another problem
to get advice in the forum for
and then out of ignorance
ignore all the advice i gather.
also cant wait to smoke that zig-zag
that i cram my harvest into

You're gonna get a whole heck of a lot more than a zig zag out of the harvest, and the next crop, you will certainly avoid this whole mess.
Remember that in flower no strain, not even a heavy feeder, likes very much nitrogen, which is why bloom ferts contain only a tiny bit.
And just like people, plants are fussy about their feet being comfy.

Just wanted to let stinky that I am originally from MA.

Cool to see you holdin' it down all the way over there in mass.

I came all the way to CA to have the freedom to do all this.

Yeah. comfy feet. nice fluffy warm wool socks

none of those soggy muddy small rotten socks they were wearing before

I got everything new stockings for christmas.

God Bless. And to all a good night.

I will say.....I am quite impressed with all your hard work. I hope it makes the difference for you and your crop....good job taking the bull by the horns and making it happen. :thumbsup:

Merry Christmas!! :madnoel: :areindeer:
