Had a hard time finding info on these, so thought would make this journal for those looking for info on them. Genetics- gorilla grape gush x spirit in the sky. Gorilla grape gush= grape ape x purple kush. Spirit in the sky= peyote purple x starfighter f2. Could be wrong on genetics just what I was able to find.
These are in pure coco 1 gal pots 4x4 tent 600w hps. Planted 8 seeds on 10-4 7 sprouted 10-8. Pic from today so a lil over 2 weeks old. One of them is not happy others look good to great. Hopefully someone can help me determine what's wrong with the one. So far fairly consistent plants. I can see maybe two to three phenos but probably to early to tell for sure. Still a noob so I just hope I can do @bigworm6969 some justice on his genetics.

After some research I think its possibly a potassium deficiency. Still not a 100% tho. If it isn't better by time to flower probably just cut it down. All others are still looking good.

From pictures u gave that'd be my guess is main issue. Cannabis can be a fickle bitch about ph depending on media but looks like straight coco which easily could be a ph problem lol get your meter calibrated and feed at 6.1

Thanks for the help. I think thats what it is. I just checked on them and a few other plants are starting to yellow at the tops. I have a ph kit with the drops but I have a hard time telling the colors apart. Ill take pics of the ones starting to yellow.

i think it was my last water/feed when it was off. My water is usually right at 8 out of the tap and i think my ph meter said like 7.5 i thought it just changed a lil. I tested it with the drops and it was green so i think its still 8. I adjusted my ph meter back to 8 still gonna get some calibration solution and extra meter. Ill use the meter and double check with drops best i can. Thanks for the help @Afgan King

No problem a calibrated ph pen is your best friend lol

Definitely lol i read coco can show problems quicker than soil. Its good learning experience tho. Liking the growth rate from the coco so far. hopefully this wont slow them down to much.
Use tupur if it's available to you it's Coco and then some and its outrageously good

Hey bro 400ppm should be just fine for plants that size, i would flush real good and u definitely need a good ph reader with the calibration liquids and ur useing the three part gh nutez right if so u do know that the macro goes in the water first then the grow and bloom but u need to ph it and keep it at 5.8 and how often do you feed ur plants?

Dont get the red hanna meter mine does ph and temp and i had to change the probe out three times in a year and they cost almost as much as a new meter and i even clean my meter everytime i use it and store in the storeing solution i keep the little piece of sponge in the cap wet with the solution and still fucking went bad on me i got a cheap Milwaukee that still works great and i never cleaned it, i look at ur pics again and yeah it looks like nutrient lockout, if ur useing the gh three part everything the plant needs is there its just being locked out cause of ph being off, but i would definitely flush first then go back to ur nutez

Thanks for the info big worm. Waited a lil over a week before feeding but been feeding everyday to everyother day since started. Water till i get some runoff to. I think i have it under control for now they dont seem to be getting any worse. Very pleased with your work so far. All pretty uniform in size and growth. To me very nice side branching so far and havent topped either. if you have any info on this strain or anyone else growing them feel free to post pics or your experience with them. Figured it would help you and anyone interested in the strain. Hoping they will show sex soon so i can transplant. wanting 4 females but ill take what i can get. If i end up with less ill just veg a little longer. Do they respond well to topping? Been debating on topping or not.

I've found that when using coco, RO water is best. I plant seeds in straight coco,hydrated to field capacity, with a lil perlite, in 1 gallon containers, with plastic wrap on top. when the seeds pop out i take the wrap off. on the first watering use a lil nutes, like 50 to 100 ppm. not much at all. but use a rooting hormone with it. then dont water until the pot is really dry, but not too dry. if you use a lil nutes each time it helps to even out the ph in the water. also keep an eye on your water temps. 68 to 72 is good. plants like consistent water temps. i use flora duo, and it works great in coco. no cal mag needed. just rooting hormones like Rapid Start, is all you need for veg.
