Hash Tips!? SuperSoil Grown Purple Leafed LA Con!? Dude I'm digging your style :blsmoke:.

Tell me those two LA Cons are the same age. I'm in this great internal debate between SuperSoil and Coco right now and your answer means a lot to me here. And are you going to back off your panel(s) because of the hash tip or is it full steam ahead, hash tips be damned? I backed mine off just a few inches. Seems mine stopped growing up but started getting fatter so now I'm wondering if it's bad to do during the grow, but OK at the end. Not sold on kiefing my buds yet, I still think it's damage, but I'll be glued to this thread to see what happens to yours next.

Yes! the LA cons are the same age, part of going super soil was to have a head to head test, although i want to compare the supersoil purple LA con to the amazing one i grew last round( they are in the same unshaded place as each other so it will be more accurate as the current Maxi LA con is off to the side) The one i grew last round was the best i think i could have achieved for that strain, i gave it a shit ton of nutrients every feeding and only backed off a bit when i saw the tips beginning to turn brown. since i'm sure i didn't give it any stress at all, i would like to see how the yield compares to the supersoil round.

i will say however that since i put in the auto water system, it is nice to not have to spend any time mixing nutrients. i especially got pissed at nutrients that arent pH stabilized like maxi bloom.

As for the Fg 13, the hash tip appeared on a lower nug which is just a few inches above the rim of the pot, the top main nug is doing pretty well being so close to the panel, the only thing is i couldn't back off the panel if i wanted to as its as high up as it will go.

Update!

So i took down the top part of the fg 13 and unfortunately the midsection of it was moldy.:sad::sad:

Moldy trash

Still got some fat nugs from the remainder, the bottom part of the plant looks good too, this plant is realllly sticky!

I noticed also today that my plants are already starting to have their color fade, i read a post from subcool himself saying it is normal for that to start around week 6(plants are almost exactly six weeks today) but i still think i should top dress. what do you guys think?

top dressing would also be a pain in the ass as i just covered the tops of my containers with perlite in an attempt to stop the rising fungus gnat population!

Happy Growing RIU:bigjoint:

Hey Alex, you and Enduro are getting me paranoid about mold now :(. It's been a little while since I grew bigger plants and I've got all these great colas going and I'm living in mortal fear of that shit. Especially since I run a ultrasonic fogger to keep my humidity in the normal range, but will peak into the 70s since I'm too cheap to buy a humidistat :).

Loving that Purple Con pic. Maybe one day when Prohibition II: Electric Boogaloo is over you can send me a cut? That would be a good day, huh?

^^^ Because in my book 20% RH is too low to flower in and that's the RH of my grow room with out any kind of humidifier. I'll be watering all the frickin' time if I don't raise it and watering every two to three days is good for me right now and normal humidity helps me achieve that. I also like it to be in the 45 to 55% range since I dry in my flowering tent. Got to have that normal humidity or my buds will go to shit drying too fast.

Edit: Also I run perpetual, so while 20% could be useful for the last 2 weeks of flowering, I think if I've done my job, I don't really need that trick to increase resin/THC production all the while stressing my still flowering plants with RH swings.

i never saw the mold coming, and if i got it with the way things are running now im not sure what the hell to do to prevent it again.

as for sending a cut, all my mothers have been looking like serious shit, i noticed they were becoming trees in the party cups( healthy looking btw) so i decided to give em a little trim and since then its been yellowing and deficiencies out of nowhere. ive transplanted the la con mother into a soil mix for now in hope that she will recover, when she does im going to clone her again, start a new mother as a back up and then on my next batch of flower get some seeds by the colloidal silver method. the sleestack and og will stay in party cups until i see how they turn out this run. im not worried about those as i have plenty of seeds from them.

The la con since 8/12/2012 and the other 2 in since 10/2/2012. the only different thing that screwed everything up was trimming them.

Hey all! Update time:bigjoint:

I cut down the last of the fg13 today! a pretty fat yield from the lower nugs made up nicely for losing some of the top to mold.
