I tried to park a 9 foot van in a 8 foot garage.
I don't have a job anymore.
This is why I smoke mad weed. I only do stupid shit like that when I'm sober

Hello! Nice to meet some of my fellow growers here in VA! I'm about half an hour outside roanoke myself. What an awesome time to be a grower in virginia! Currently growing a run of blueberry muffins by humbolt. This is my 4th grow. Two runs of lsd strain and one run of dosidos. I have only grown in soil, but am considering hydroponics at some point.
Anyway, nice to meet everyone! Grow on ppl!!!

11/19/23 - Unfortunately, I’ve had some pretty serious back issues and haven’t been able to care for these plants at all. Now, they look pretty horrible – tons of issues w. the leaves. Still on a 20/4 hour light cycle in hopes of switching from Flower back to Veg. Would like to transplant from one gallon fabric grow pots to either a 3 gallon or a 5 gallon. Humidity was quite low (34%) w. temperature at 74 F., so set up a humidifer in the room. Will feed them some GeoFlora Veg in hopes that it will help.
Not sure what's going on here. Too much light? Not enough of the proper nutes? Something else?
Any advice on what to do here?

At this point I'd say start new seeds I'm afraid. Trying to reveg plants that are that far along just isn't going to be worth the time, effort and cost. It's going to take 3-4 weeks for them to reveg and they're gonna be ugly as heck when they're done. I'd cull what you have and see if you can do anything with the buds like an extraction.
It looks like a severe nutrient deficiency but I can't say if it occurred from a ph problem or bad watering practices. Mine were in bad shape the last time my back went out as well, it's hard to water them on a schedule when you're in bad pain. Start fresh seeds and a grow journal so people can see what's going on with them as they grow and head problems like this off before they get too advanced. Hope your back feels better soon, back pain sucks.

Think you're right on both counts! Not enough water AND haven't fed them nutes in at least a few weeks. Far too difficult to deal w. stairs to get to them while my back has been screwed up.
Pretty sure these are goners, but...
Trimmed off most of the problem leaves. Changed the light cycle to 18/6 hours. Will see if these can be saved. If not, I’m on break til the spring season for my next grow.

If you need seeds for the next run just let me know and I'll send you something good. Hope you have good luck with getting them to reveg and your back gets better soon.

Go buy fox farm happy frog and throw them in 5 gallon pots filled with that and put them under 24 hrs light...you'll have to go down maybe 1 time a week for the next 6-8 weeks until you need to do anything...if you topdress with Dr Earth 444 and some ewc it'll be months before you have to do anything but water...if you unscrew the screen part on your sink faucet you can hook a garden hose to that and put a shit off valve on the end of the hose to water your plants so you don't have to carry anything...just some thoughts how to make it easy...you can do seeds the same way!

Thanks so much! I'm set w. seeds due to winning some seeds. Plus, still have a couple from my first purchase.
Really hoping a second injection works on my back. If not, they'll want to start talking surgery.

So, I'm a few weeks out from harvest and I read this post about this fellow that cut the main cola off when it looked ready, and let the rest of the plant continue to ripen. Anyone ever try, or know someone that tried this? Seems risky. Wouldn't this stress the plant too much? Increase the likelihood of herming?
There is always a need for response time. If your less the 2 weeks away from harvest you probably won't see a stress event cause a full herming, definitely not enough time for self pollution and seed development. A fully developed healthy plant is very resilent a loss of <20% mass should not be an issue assuming no infections.(outdoor big risk, indoor in a sterile tent not so much) plant wound/grafting gel is cheap if you feel it's needed.
The colas that relieve the most light will finish the fastest. It is very possible the tops are fully ripped a week before the lower branches.
I've chopped whole plants at once and left them rooted and slowly harvested for as much as 3 weeks.

Nice! I'll give that a try this time. Thanks!

I was wondering if there may be any interest in swapping genetics as we get a little closer to spring? My next grow will be Mystery Made from elev8 genetics. Gonna take some cuttings, and I thought I could cut a few extra if someone might want to trade a couple? Again, just seeing if there was an interest for my fellow Virginia growers. Anyone know what they're growing next? I've also been eyeing the Hella Jelly and Zoapamine strains. Anyone have any experience with those?
