Phat Gary, Yaaas Betch, Sherb N Sour and Sherbadelic

[iggy097]

Day 17 of flower - stretched between 14” on Phat Gary and 18” on Yaaas Betch. Think I’m done stretching yet? Kinda wishing I had vegged a little longer now - but no idea how these four strains would stretch. Clone tent is looking good - got 100% to root in the oxy cloner. The last Sherbadelic clone will perk up in a few days.

Phat Gary #5. Balls? Wtf Gary

 

[iggy097]

Breeder claims it’s most likely from stress - ph or light intensity which is really frustrating because I thought this run was going well minus not being able to lock in the nutes - however that could be ph related too. I’ve set the ph controller to 5.8.
None of the other plants seem affected - just 2 of the 3 Phat Gary’s I had run.
PAR is between 500-700 depending on where in the tent and what plant I’m measuring.

 

[iggy097]

Picked off two more from the troublesome Phat Gary #5. I’m hoping this is all - I don’t want to cull it if possible

 

[iggy097]

Plucked these off today - culled the plant. I’m no expert but they look male to me and with the issues of herm on this plant I’m not taking chances.
And then there was 6.

I was lucky to grabbed a box set of the sherb line. Someday I’ll pop some packs. Too many drops to keep up. I’ll be interested in how the rest turn out. Not seeing much on RIU but the discord is good

Are those girls hungry or just the lighting?

They seem hungry but I can't seem to get the nutes dialed in since flower. Up to 2.2 EC - Megacrop, Calmag, Bud Explosion - but having a bit of burnt tips.
The Phat Gary leaves are starting to redden and I don't know if it's genetics or some issue with my autopots. Completely new system so I'm having issues.

Hi @igg, I thought I'd reply hear so everyone can see. Sooo, I got 16 seeds from exotics and was hoping for some fire. All 6 drip station seeds were awesome and had no issues but of the 10 golden poppy and Sherb n Sour (5 each) Only 3 Golden poppy survived and were stunted as seedlings but they've survived. Not sure why 3 others popped and immediately died. Maybe got some dudz. They spent about 3 weeks as seedlings then repotted they've been vegging for 5 weeks now. Anyway running these 9.
Pics below, love to hear thoughts. The first 2 on the left side are GP and the other six on the right are Drip Station.

Sherb N Sour #2. Alternaria leaf spot? Wtf this grow is killing me.

That’s always sad to see… I would not have a clue with auto pots or the products you use but that reminds me of a couple of my recent runs. I added more phosphorus and seemed to clear the early upper leaf deficiencies. Also ramping up lights over the first 3 weeks helped. Just my 2cents.
Now I’m a little worried with both of you having problems with the Serbert box. I thought I got lucky and scored one 3 weeks ago from Mike but…

Those look good. I just popped a pack of Drip Station too. All 6 looking good. I have 5 Next Level vegging and 6 Dream Factory just flipped.

 

[Rossta187]

Thanks bro, they look good also. I'm about to break out the Scrog too so I'll let you guys know how we're getting in when we flip

Interesting...... so up the nutes? Doesnt explain seedlings keeling over

Basically they are saying the seeds are all fine and the issues are the growers.

 

[iggy097]

Got back from vacation - noticed 2-3 male parts on Sherb N Sour 3. Picked them off. I know I’ll have some seeds this run. Impossible to dial in nutes on this grow with 4 different strains. Yaaas beetch is doing the best - no issues with her this run. I’m going to turn my 4x4 into a YB only tent tomorrow as I have 4 clones ready to go.
I plan on starting with the new nutes (Blue Planet) and using a PH controller with the autopots in that tent. Hoping with one strain only and solid nutes I don’t run into all the issues I’m having with the 4x8 tent.

 

[iggy097]

Yaaass Betch 4x4 ready to go. Starting with Blue Planet nutes and when the reservoir is ready to be switched on, the PH controller will locked at 5.6 for the entire grow. Following the advice of just one successful autopot grower this run - and not the breeder and his customer service.

 

[iggy097]

So - i just realized as I tested the reservoir with my ph pen that the blue lab probe wasn’t calibrated correctly. It was set to 5.7 but was actually 5.4. It’s been wrong this whole time!

Gross. I’m running an organic soil but still worry about that even with how forgiving it is. Tough man.
