Livers update. I'll be be taking a few cuts today (if i can be arsed) to pass to a mate then its getting flowered. It smells sooo nice even in veg. You may not believe what i'm about to say but here goes. It smells stronger than cheese in veg, i know its the bud that matters but i may have stumbled into something a bit special:weed:
Its a branchy fucker too you can see the main stem at the bottom of the last pic, its the bit thats bending downwards with a branch pointing upwards


new page bump.

I read that it could be straight northern lights or NL X big bud. It does look like cheese but chunkier. I also read its older than cheese but how true that is i don't know

I've just sufaced. I didn't take cuts last night coz the plant didn't look that great. I put it under the hps (12/12) 2 days ago to give it a boost before i took the cuts and it grew too quick and the new growth was a bit pale and the leaf tips had clawed a bit. I've put it back in the veg cab now to get it real healthy again. I dunno wtf is happening in the flower tent coz when i put the co's in they went the same way, yellow, saggy and clawing. Its never done it before so fuck knows whats going on

Copper (Cu)

Copper plays a big role in producing healthy plants, stems, branches and new growths, as well as for the plants reproduction and maturity.
It also assists in carbohydrate metabolism and oxygen reduction.


Copper deficiency plants shows a lack of growth, growth tips die back, green leaves will show a bluish hue and plants may have a hard time showing maturity in vegging stages. Copper deficient plants causes irregular growth and wilting in the newer growths. The Leaves at top will wilt easily along with bleaching (chlorosis) and necrotic areas in the leaves. Leaves on the top of the plant may show veinal chlorosis.(bleaching of the veins)
Growth and yield will be diminished along with spots on the leaves that are necrotic.

To much copper in the system will cause the plant to die, as if it was a poison.Near death the plant will induce iron deficiencies and the root system will decay along with abnormal size of the roots, along with little side branching. Some new growths may not open up, along with becoming thin pale green to a bluish hue. Parts affected by copper deficiency are: new shoots, young leaves, and or the whole plant.



Problems with Copper being Locked out by Ph Troubles

High ph along with highly compacted soil that has a lack of nitrogen.



Soil

Copper gets locked out of soil growing at ph levels of 2.0- 4.5
Copper is absorbed best in soil at a ph level of 5.0-7.5 (Wouldn’t recommend having a soil ph of over 7.0 in soil) anything out of the ranges listed will contribute to a Copper deficiency.


Hydro and Soil less Mediums

Copper gets locked out of Hydro and Soil less Mediums at ph levels of 6.5-9.0
Copper is absorbed best in Hydro and Soil less Mediums at ph levels of 2.0-6.0 (Wouldn’t recommend having a ph over 6.5 in hydro and soil less mediums.) Best range for hydro and soil less mediums is 5.0 to 6.0. Anything out of the ranges listed will contribute to a copper deficiency.



Solution to fixing a Copper deficiency
One way to treat a copper deficiency is by foliar feeding with Copper Sulphate, Cu sulfate, Cu chelates, Those 3 can also be used in soil. Any Chemical/Organic nutrients that have copper in them will fix a copper deficiency. (Only mixing at ½ strength when using chemical nutrients or it will cause nutrient burn!)
Other nutrients that have copper in them are: Granular, Garden Manure, Greensand.


Now if you added to much chemical nutrients and or organics, (which is hard to burn your plants when using organics) you need to flush the soil with plain water. You need to use 2 times as much water as the size of the pot, for example: If you have a 5 gallon pot and need to flush it, you need to use 10 gallons of water to rinse out the soil good
enough to get rid of excessive nutrients. Damaged leaves will NOT recover.



Picture 1 is a copper deficiency, (it may look like a over fertilization ( nitrogen) but look at the bottom of the leaves, notice how they are yellow and a bit of white, also some of the fan leave tips are brown and dying off.)




this is the only thing i can think of mate looks bit like it eh?

I don't think its a def or a overnute/overwater coz now its back in the veg cab its come round. it could be temps but they are in an ok ish range. Its doing my fucking head in. Soon as i put owt in the flower tent that happens. FOR FUCKS FUCKING SAKE!!!!!!
