grade is singing the blues 1st journal

day 10.

all the seedlings have had a growth spurt, the new leaves are all nice and green howvever some are a little twisted... not sure if its normal but take a look see what you think.. the whiteberry has the fattest leaves, the blue cheese has very deep veins in the leaves and is the darkest in colour.

the cheese clone isn't looking too good, after the flush i fed it a 1/4 strength nutes, i think i may have altered the ph to quickly (have only just got a meter and tap water was previously about 7.5 i dropped it to 6.5 with the flush...) and some leaves have dark rusty spots on them, any ideas for a remedy?

you wil see i have done abit of lst on it too using shoe lace, cheers for the comments vv hope everyone has had a good christmas!!

Grade

any ideas on when i should transplant the seedlings into bigger pots?? are there any specific guidelines for this??? Cheers

Grade

the seedlings in the last pictures in the above posts are drooping more, do you think this could be overwatering or due to the size of the pots?? they are only a couple of inches in diameter..... cheers

there really is no guide lines...
but a couple good tricks, check
the bottom of the little pots and
see if you can see roots showing,
this is a good sign for trans'ing.

also, after enough grow time, in
you pic's, they look stout nice and
harty... This is also a sign that
trans' is due...!

the best way to check to see if its
watering time is by the wieght of
the pot, pick the little girl up, if
she feels lite it is time for water.
As stout as they look, im going
with the pot is light, and is in
need of watering...!


As for the plant issues with the
bigger girls... Im seeing ph' issues
nute lock out...!

Can i get the npk of your nutes.
And is your ph' these nutes going
in to water...??? Or are you check~
ing the ph run~off...???

One more thing, i see the fan
sitting close, how much does the
girl wiggle due to the fan...???


Sorry for jumping in with all this
its the vv's fault, cause he's a
toe shower...! Hehehehehe!


Cheers mate...
Nice to see the grow going, and
progressing...!


Pm is allways open...

Db.~tlb!

Cheers for the input DB good to have you along

The plants got transplanted into 6-8" pots (had a afew lying around....) they took to it really well and had a growth spurt happy days everything is looking good by my books!!

the blueberry and whiteberry seem the hardyest so far with the blue cheese growing a little slower, i have also noticed the whiteberry is very sensitive to watering and drooped almost immidietly after recieving the same amount of water as the others.... within afew hours it was looking fine again tho
so its DAY 15

1st pic is the whiteberry to
2nd is the blueberry top
3rd is the blue cheese top
4th is white berry side view
5th is blueberry side view
6th is bluecheese side view

NUTRIENTS
7th is bio grow showing the NPK (8.0-2.0-6.0) content
8th is Bio Heaven plant stimulator
9th is the superthrive

I gave the seedlings their first feed last night of 1/4 recommended dose of boi grow and heaven (0.25ml biogrow/ L and 0.5 bio heaven/ L i also added one drop of superthrive) they seem to have taken to it really well... what you guys think??

now for the sob story..... the cheese clone would just not play by my games and kept deteriorating no matter what i did so i just decided to get rid and seeing as i have 3 healthy seedlings in my grow room it wasn't too bad... this plant has bin pissing me off for a while now!! but yeah i made afew mistakes on the last one i won't be making again... practice makes perfect eh...

Grade

Looking very nice and cumming right along...!

The leaf drop after watering might be due to water temp...!
I have that here a bit, and when i "stuck a meat thermo'" in... I noticed
i was a bit warm... Even though it felt really cool to the touch...!

So this might be the dropp issue...!

Othier than that...!


Nice.......!!!!

Looking forward to the run... Sorry to hear about the one unruley, but thats how it
works sometimes...!


Keep er' growing...

Day 17 quick update.. no water/ nutes since last update thinking of giving the whiteberry and blueberry another 1/4 does of nutes either this evening or tomorow morning, the bluecheese is very dark green and this is suggesting to me that it is not in need of the nutes as much as the others as of yet..
any advice on feeding/ watering much appreciated!!


In terms of growth the whiteberry and blueberry are both growing fast the bluecheese is getting there now, the leaves are so fat and round i know im gonna like that plant!! any ways pics... (sorry had to be taken with HPS on as i was running late for work this morning!)

mornin Grade fella! i checked and the pot holds 9litres but has probably only got soil in it 2/3 of the way, ive decided to call the big plant bertha!

i think your using nutes a lil early but they dont seem to be complaining so go for it! theyll soon tell you if its getting too much!

yeah that name seems about right, wonder what the roots look like in there make sure you post a pic after the chop!!

right ill lay off the nutes and stick with ph'd water until i start seeing slight deficiencies, you reckon that sounds like a better plan?? cheers don pal

will do man and i dont know if i should but i might add some soil to the top, ( i have no idea if this is a good plan or if it will even make a difference???) it could well be pot bound already ill have to keep an eye on it.

i wouldnt worry too much about adding a little bit of nutes as long as the plants are green and lookin healthy just be careful not to overdo it. ive done it myself getting carried away and ended up setting the plants back while the burn sorted itself.

ill help where i can mate but im by no means an expert im still finding my roots

me too mate but the help is MUCH appreciated!! big up,

I think ill stick to water for the next week or so then start again on 1/4 strength nutes gradually going up to 1/2 strength...

not sure bout adding soil on the top of yours as the roots grow down... maybe just a waste?? that plant i cut (the b*stard cheese clone) was in a pot similar size to your ones and when i took it out all you could see was white roots, that plant was nothing compared to yours!! im guessing if you transplant there will be a big growth spurt but is that really needed that late into flower?? hummmm!!

Safe pal

Grade

yeah i had thought the same about putting soil in on top! and to be honest repotting might just give it a growth spurt which it doesnt need or ill have to put a hole in the tent roof!

shame about the cheese, all i hear is rave reviews about it but havent managed to track any down in the grim north..... what was the beef with it?

peas blood

yeah i know my friend has a source for the clones but is very tight with it EVERY one wants the origional.... the clone i had was a Big Buddha cheese from my last grow check out some assorted pics.... it was a lovely plant to grow and smoke.... but the clone i took just would not take the change from cfl to hps (was vegging under the cfl whilst the mothers finished flowering...) then a number of nute problems and ph issues finally ended its life.... check the mothers tho...would reccomend the plant highly!!

DAMN those are some nice lookin ladies. i can see what the hypes about. whats the smoke like up and buzzy or monged out ya mind? im more of a couchlock kinda stoner the up buzz gives me the fear.....

haha same i love gettin sleepy stonned.... it was a couch one for sure!!
well yeah i loved it thats why i TRIED to grow it again from the clones but with no luck as we can see!!haha still go one seed left of it thought im sure will be gettin popped at some point

DAY 18

still haven't watered or nuted since day 15 they seem to be doing great.
PIC1 whiteberry
PIC2 BlueBerry
PIC3 Bluecheese

the blueberry was starting to claw very (i mean very) slightly any ideas from the pics what this could be??

the bluecheese is a strange looking little plant, the leaves are really dark green and small, looking nice however. check the pics see what you think. any feedback much appreciated.
Grade

yo YO yo Grade i have an idea why it might twist like that?!?! i had similar twisting n it ironed itself out but i guessed that the plant was growing too fast for its leaves to catch up almost like the stem in the middle was growing faster than the leaf so it pulled it to one side, someone else might be able to give a more accurate diagnosis tho im just stoned idiot!! hahahahaa


bizarrly the next post i read was exactly what your talkijng about check it: https://www.rollitup.org/marijuana-plant-problems/148747-evil-leaves-ive-tried-everything.html

yes yes don, how are you this morning??

the claw eh! naybe those 1/4 strength nutes i put in have kicked in and the higher nitrogen content is causing it then... im gonna feed with plain ph'd water for now i think, hopefully ill be able to keep it in check! how are things lookin up in your area today?? edit*ill just go check!!
