ok mate ill have to check it tonight lights dont come on till 9 also could abit of the redness be due to cooler night (lights off) temps

No, not on the stems.

It can happen on leaves and buds but the plant would need the correct genetics to do it and it usually happens in mid to late flower if so.

ah ok then m8

to save me wasting the next 3 days on interwebs does anyone know of a list anywhere for strains that are IBL or close to it that are 8 weeks flower or under?

You need to be using Magnesium/Epsom Salts every time you feed.

A teaspoon per 10L is about right.

Looking at your photo's they need some more to flatten the leaves out and stop them folding like tacos.

Other than that they're nice plants, maybe a little more Calcium will be needed in the next couple of weeks.

alright yorkie
quick question i have always used canna terra professional soil but one run i used bio bizz and one run i used bat special both these soils the veg cycle was really really healthy but when switched to flower had probs with cal/mag def and had to use Epson salt now every time i have used canna terra soil i have never seemed to need to used it do you think bio bizz an bat special lock out cal/mag or what do u think would be the reason always fed same feeds

I think some of serious seeds original 6 lines had a couple.

I don't know about a list but there's really only a hand full of true breeding, stable strains around.

Then you'd have to find the original IBL version of that strain name as every man and his dog has the same named strain.

To start off with Sensi's 'Skunk #1' is a stable IBL and is done in 8-9 weeks.
Serious 'AK47' should be another but I don't know flowering times.

The best advice would be to stay well away from modern seedbanks and go for the old-school original guys.

And unfortunately stay away from Mr Nice, Shanti had most of the proper true breeding stock from back in the day kept at the GBT facility in Switzerland but that's all gone to shit since he got raided and did prison time.

cheers, basically looking for something under 8 weeks flower, stable/uniform fairly short and nice n fruity, am looking at BOG seeds atm but wanted some other options lol

 

[The Yorkshireman]

Under 8 weeks and you're asking the earth mate.

Not 8 weeks from flip anyway.

I'd guess at poor PH.

Canna Profesional range is supposed to be buffered better, that's the difference between their coco's at least.

Although it's not much help after a few weeks as PH is connected to Nitrogen uptake.

Just smoking a joint of this db x SK and it aint half bad yano can feel each drag on the chest which is a good thing and it don't taste too shabby either not.bad for about a 38 day bud lol

well, around 8 weeks if you get my drift, just fed up of the whole "9 different phenos from a pack of 10", want something a bit more uniform and wanna do some quicker flowering ones to get a bit of money under me instead of waiting 10-11 weeks every time

 

[Ghettogrower187]

Think I'm gonna pull a re veg on this fast finisher hope it works if it does we gotta 6 weeker on our hands an a decet smoke too....never done a proper re veg from a flowered plant tho....do u just leave a few bottom nugs on and a nice bit of leafage??

last time i revegged one i just left the 3 or 4 bottom branches on with popcorn n a few leaves, chopped everything else off so was only 10" tall again lol

 

[Ghettogrower187]

Yeh that's what I was thinking only enough to throw some new growth out so I can wang a few cuts off it....I havnt lollipopped her at all so theres loads a popcorn on the bitch haha

 

[The Yorkshireman]

You should cut down the root ball so it's smaller too Ghetto.

If not the plant just ends up drowning cos it doesn't have enough vegetation to use the water quick enough.

If you are cutting down the rootball then repotting it into fresh soil would probably help as well

Aye i read that somewhere....its an 11 litre pot so when it comes to it I'll hack it away to try and squeeze it into a 6.5 or something

red stems on plants is it genetics or what could be the cause
both cheese and ssh have red stems but plants are otherwise looking and smelling really nice

Red/purple stripes/stems is a direct indication of too low a PH at the rootzone thus locking out Phosphorus.

Raise the PH and the purple stripes will grow out, Pompeygrow has just had the same problem and is on the back end of fixing it now.

Read back a few posts and you'll see.
