DNA Lemon Skunk (Fem) from Speedy Seedz closet grow

updates later, had a death in the family.

Bought a bunch of potting mix and perlite, will be mixing up a batch later.

Looking good reelfiles ... subscribed! i hope you figure out what is causing the yellowing, im guessing over watering and some form of nutrient defficiency or temp issues.
i take particular interest in your journ as my 'friend' has some greenhouse super lemon haze about 50 day into flower, the smell is orgasmic. It wil be nice to see the contrast in various types of lemon bud genetics.
anyways good luck for the future hope to see more frm your secret jardin soon mate!

Thanks man, glad you like it. I will be re-potting with fresh soil so I think they'll be all better then.

FWIW on the yellowing, I'm going thru a similar thing right now -- having a plant in soil I thought would carry it for awhile, but it's showing up with a pretty clear N deficiency. I gave her a 30-10-10 feed at 1/2 strength, I swore she started to improve, and then went back to yellowing. All this is happening under a similar set of conditions that nute-burned the shit out of my last grow.

I'm leaning toward the side that MJ strains are highly variable in nute demand / tolerance. What you have does look like pretty straight N deficiency to me.

Let the pic speak:




















Clearly the one started in rockwool has a bigger rootmass and is a bit taller, but not as much as the last pic suggests, that's just perspective making it look even taller.

Are those the 10" 3gal pots? if so how much you pay for them?

It's these 9.6"x11" 3.1gal. pots, but I paid 6bucks each. Guess those hydro shops know they got you by the balls, they almost double their profit this way.

I concur. Those 3gals gonna make for some nice plants. Even the 2gal pots I like are almost $5 a pop. We have 2 big hydro stores here in town and they know how to rake ya over the coals. However it could be worse. Local hydro wants $100 for the Foxfarm solube Trio pack and its only $10 cheaper on Ebay with S&H. Its always nice to know if someones gotta sale on supplies, always gotta get supplies. Nutes, dirt, Perilite, hydroton. You know the routine.

lookin good my LS is cumin along putting out it's second set of fingered leaves. havnt got any new pics on the journal yet been busy studying fo huge test on tuesday will get pics up next week you will be suprised by the grow of my midnight kush and ssk.

Not much of an update, but it is what it is. Hope the one on the left catches up and stops that clawing bullshit.

About how tall are they? we started about the same day...but during the first couple of weeks yours looked bigger than mine..now mine look to have surpassed yours..

I can't measure them now, but I think they got a lil stunted, should start to take off again soon.

Well the transplant probably caused some stress if anything on top of the deficiency's

It's only been 2 days since I transplanted, so I am not sure if that had much of an effect it had, but I usually expect a week or two of slow growth after transplanting. I was actually referring to them getting stunted before the transplant, looked like the one started in rockwool was starting to get root bound to me.

No improvement yet, but I did get to measure them; the left one is a little over 5 inches and the one on the right is almost 7 inches tall. That might not be a good indicator though. I planted them a bit lower in the new containers. Any ideas how long to veg them to get 24" plants?

Well plants will just about triple in size when you flower them, so just calculate that into how tall they are when you switch, my last grow i flowered at 4 /12 inches, and she grew to exactly 16 inches.

Ok then I will force them at 8 inches, hopefullly my Sour D will be done by then so I can lower the lights.

when your done you want 3' plants? so veg them to a foot and a half!

I was thinking more like 24". Gonna try flowering some clones after 3-5 days veg, on a buddies recommendations, too.
