Just a little journal............

Hello RoboGro It would be lovely to see them all make it this time love

My main suggestion would be to carefully get them all into seperate pots.
Cannabis plants really have very exstensive roots and will become really entangled when grown in the same tub.
You don't mention what lights you are using, but then again I only really know anything about the one I use which is a 400 watt interchangable MH/HPS ballast. However there are lots of threads and posts on here about lights.


I am having a few problems here at the moment with droopy leaves
You see the thing is I'm not used to having growing problems, normally I just put them in the growroom and leave them to it so when a problem arises I am kinda left a little puzzled by it. Although I do think it's due to the damp/humidity in there.
Anyway I have the fan on now and the growroom door open and they have not gotten any worse...............I just hope they start to pick up soon

I know that really I should follow Latewoods advice on re-potting them (or re-bagging them ) but I'm just trying to hang on and see if they will recover without the extra work


Anyway RoboGro, give some thought about seperating them and keep posting about any questions you have, there are lots of people on here who can help with advice.
Oh, and keep us updated on how they are going on.


Good luck .........................love mand xxx

Hello Just a very very quick update

Well the growroom is drying out, still a way to go yet though, I've held of watering the plants for the last 3 days...............shows how much I overwatered them
However they seem to be recovering now, just a few droopys remaining.
Up to now I have removed 3 males, there are a few not showing their sex yet but there a quite a few females


I'll just post some pics taken a little while ago............


love mand xxx


Oh the white bits on some of the leaves are where I dropped some plant food

[latewood]

My biggest concern is that they have been that wet for days...and they are in the perfect cycle to replant :thumbsup: ...Just egging you on a bit...hope it all works out, xoxo, latewood

ps...it wouldn't take 15 minutes...

Hello Latewood I absolutely agree with you love, now would be the ideal time to re pot them........................but I'm going to carry on as they are
Honestly love they will be fine............promise .........I hope


I do dumb things from time to time you know . I once had a really great big fully budded female and she started wilting really bad. Anyway I was really at a loss as to what was up with the thing, no matter whaat I did it would not recover
Then I noticed something, I used to tie them to the sticks with knots that wouldn't loosen, so the string was cutting into the stem, it was basicaly strangling the thing. So now I always make sure the knots will slip open with the growing

The thing is I am a very lazy grower, I want to grow Cannabis with as little effort and exspense as possible. So I'm just going to leave them as they are for now

Thanks Latewood ....................love mand xxx

"The thing is I am a very lazy grower, I want to grow Cannabis with as little effort and exspense as possible. So I'm just going to leave them as they are for now"

Mand, I come by and visit your grow thread when I'm finished stressing over my own details, just for a sense of peace. You're definitely a hippie chick grower and I mean that with all due respect...I really dig your style of growing.

Hello Keno Thankyou love but in all honesty I'll be glad to see the back of this grow it really is becoming to be a bit of a pain. The problem with the droopy leaves is something I haven't had to deal with before, but the plants are still growing and hopefully as soon as they get to a decent stage of budding they will be harvested.
At the moment I have got rid of five boys, there are eleven plants remaining and I think most are girls but there are a few that are not showing any signs of their sex yet.
It's such a shame about this crop, on the vegitive growing they grew at one of the fastest rates I have ever seen but since inducing flowering I am quite dissapointed with their progress.
However that's how it goes, win some lose some


Hello 9ski9 .........Awwww thankyou for the nice words, however like I said above this crop is becoming a real pain and I will be very pleased to see the back of them so I can start again and hopefully have a straight forward crop next time
I do like the plants to grow healthy and produce as much bud as possible but at the end of the day as long as there is enough to get me thourgh to the next harvest, that's all that matters

I must show you're post to my kids ("You're definitely a hippie chick grower"), you see to them I'm just an old fogie who nags them too much


Thanks guys......................love mand xxx

Mand,
My dear i must say great minds think alike....just a small update back for you on my end i had the same plan 2 months ago to have another harvest b4 X-mas ...altho my garden isnt compareable to yours, i only planted 2 plants under my 400 and hoped for 1 female this time to so fewer plants could hord the light.....last grow was 6 females and it was a bit to crowed for my liking ....ill try to get some pix out for you soon,,,mine have been flowering long enuff to both show sex and i have 2 lovely ladys out of 2 pics.......one is a purple strain......and the other is a skunk # 1....non feminized seeds...i have strange luck lol...out of all my growing ive never once hand a male......and i know the count is up to atleast 20 or so.....and im gonna be starting new babies :-) that way when its time to pick its time to flower again..........hope to see some new pics and new updates on yours....later hun XXX

Hello PPP it's nice to hear from you

Well what can I tell you about the situation here, it's not good , I think that there is a good chance of losing the present crop
Up to now I have gotten rid of five males, leaving eleven plants, out of those there are three little runts that aren't even showing signs of their sex yet. Also the runts seem to be suffering the worst.
I still think it is the conditions in the growroom although it has dried out quite well and the compost is quite dry now also.
I don't think it's a nutrient problem because it has effected all the plants at the same time.
It doesn't seem like lighting problem neither, when I lost a previous crop it was the HPS bulb worn out with age. When that happened they all turned yellow, withered and died within a couple of days..............this is different.

I am trying to resist Latewood's advice on re-potting because I am trying to just follow my normal growing pattern, however I may yet try that


Like I said at the begining of this journal, I think I might be tempting fate too much by doing a journal


I have just included a few pics of the current situation...........guess I'll carry on and see what happens

Mand,

Can't tell there is anything wrong by your pictures. They all appear to be healthy. Don't think it is time for any drastic measures. Just relax. Everything will be fine.
