holy cow bro that looks so delicious. Was she more of a pheno? My ladies are satvia dominate. What week are you on? I would love to see your journal or more pics.

I harvest perpetually so a journal is near impossible. But in about a week, I'll post a few pictures of some product and some final numbers from two beautiful ladies that just came down. Those beautiful ladies are in the running to be a potential mother. I still have 2 other phenos that I need to flower in order to see their potential. So at the moment, I have 4 moms, 24 cuttings from the different moms, and 3 in flower (two of which are not in the running for the mother spot). I should also add that these beans were very stable and even though I'm using the word 'pheno', there is only some subtle variation between the plants.

I'm really interested to see how yours turn out as they look great so far.

hey bro i havent been on much but ur plants look good and yea if the plants leafs are droopings and the heat is normal that means they need to be feed and the more into flowering they get the more they eat... since ur in soil i recommend sticking your finger to see if the soil is dry and if so water. apart from that yea you have a fast flowering strain so ur plant is gunna mature every night and i dunno if you do or not but since ur in soil i also recommend that you feed one time with nutes then the next time with water back and fourth so that there is no salt build up in the soil dont worry you dont be feeding them water only the days u do feed them water because the nutes build up in the soil plus the plant stores nutes in there fan leafs. apart from that i harvest my purple kush on monday i will post some pics for u

also u should mess around with other nute companys and see wats around i always see newer grows using the foxfarm line as so did i but theres so much more out there not that foxfarm isnt a good line but i dunno i use Flora nova grow, root excelerator, liquid karma and cal mag for vegg and flora nova bloom, liquid karma, cal mag, and gravity for flowering and the funny thing is there all different company products that i mixed and matched and let me tell you that not only do i pay less for my nutes but i also get five times better results......pretty much i follow the lucas formula and juss add some additives that i really like i will send you a link about the lucas formula its a forums thread you should really check it out

thanks doomer for the compliments. I checked out that article and it seems interesting. I'm surprised that different nutes would effect the plants differently cause they r mostly based around the same ingrediants. But I'll definitely use your nutes for my second grow your just going to need to help me cause im not going to know what im doing. I'm pretty set on doing an autoflowering strain with anywhere from 40 to 100 plants. Maybe 1 to 2 gallon pots. Okay I could go on and on but I dont want to count my chickens before they hatch. I just hope this grow goes well and I get a nice yield. I talk to them everyday and ask them to grow big and strong for me and so far they have. 2 of them were stunted early on in their lifetime and to my surprise one of them has actually surpassed her sister. But those 2 are the least mature and they will probably be last in harvest. I also do the alternative water nute combo because I dont want salt buildup like you said. And yeah they r sucking up a ton of water. Instead of watering twice a week I now have to water 3 times a week and give a little bit of misting in between. The plants are pretty damn close to the lights but they seem to enjoy it so im just going to leave it there for now. Yeah boys definitely send me some pics I would love to compare and contrast. Tomorrow marks the beginning of week three so if you guys want ill post some pics. They basically look the same but ill let you guys decide. I also had some timer trouble today and I think they only got 11 hours of light oh well i hope that doesnt effect them.

Boys one my girls has gotten sick(the four footer) No one seems to know the problem maybe one of you pros would know. I have pics posted under a different thread with the details about whats going on. Basically she has like big dots of a red color pigmentation throughout the mid section of the leaves. There is also leaf curling and burning on the leaf sets closest to the light. Idk whats going on but please help me out.

Man! Sounds to me like you should start watering like every day a little every day and be consistant that is what i do on my soil grows and it never lets me down. Also you can foliar feed your plants in flower I just wouldn't do it close to harvest and only do it when lights off. Why does every noob (no offense) want to jump right to Fox Farms? I know I did it aswell but they suck!!!! I know you ask they all have the same base ing. but that couldn't be further from the truth! they are made of crap ing. go with a quality nute company I use Canna and can't say enough good stuff about there entire line bottom line IT WORKS! I also like Adanced for there aditives but there shit is expensive. make sure you give your plants a good supply of fresh air. Also I would encourage you to stray away from autoflowering strains they suck jmo. One last? what size pots are you in?


Here are a couple pics of my current grow mostly white rhinos on the last day of week 5 flower using Canna terra flores, Canna boost, Cannazym, Rhizotonic superthrive and mollasses

so far the nail thing sounds like the best idea but im waiting to get a concencous. I havent done anythign to them yet but I really want to fix this girl cause she is my four footer and im hoping to get the biggest yield off her. People were saying its some kind of deficiency but lets see what you pros think. Yes I am a bit of a noob and used Fox Farms sorry can you blame me? Next grow I promise ill use something else but I will probably do an autoflowering strain unless I decide to do NYCD. Here are the pics and thanks for joining my thread boys. That white Ryno looks so sexy she seems to be more mature then my ak's but i think im right behind you. The maturest of the ladies has started thc production on the leaves and it looks so yummy im tempted to pull one off and put it in my tea. (of course I wont). Here are the pics keep me updates. Try to get me pics of you AK mama I would love to see her. Let me know whats up with my baby so I can fix her. 4.jpg3.jpg7.jpg5.jpg1.jpg6.jpg2.jpg

Diagnosing plants over the web is a guessing game at best, but I'd say it looks like a deficiency, possibly related to pH. Do you pH balance your water after you've mixed your nutes? Another guess is that it's just a straight up nutrient burn. Ocean Forrest has nutes and minerals in it which need to be taken into account when you're feeding your plant. Before you go and write off fox farm nutes all together, look into a neutral peat-based medium like sunshine mix 8 or promix. Bcuzz makes a similar medium as well. They're nice because there is no plant food in them and what you give your plants is what they eat, nothing else.

I've never used fox farms so I can't comment on their stuff directly, but I'm sure they're as good as anything out there. It's just a matter of getting the nutes dialed in to your plants. That takes practice and I really doubt there is something fundamentally wrong with an entire nute line, that just doesn't make business sense.

So anyways, either cut back your nutes by half on that plant and see if that makes a difference, AND/OR, check the pH of the run-off water to see where it's at. It should probably be in a safe range of 5.5-6.5. Ideally 6 for dirt.

looks like nute burn to me and def look into sunshine mix I use sunshine mix4 and love it! and PS foxfarms does just suck! you will never convince me otherwise sorry. I've used it and say what you want about me but I think I know what I'm doing also I know others with much experiance and could just never get an outstanding yeild with there line.

yeah I think it was the mix of ph fluc and nute burn. Cause my Ph meter broke so I had to water before I could get a new one. Oh well plant looks like its doing fine after I just watered it with nutes today. Im going to finish these girls out with FF nutes and then change them next grow cause I dont want to change it half way into flowering.

well the girls r good, all except my four footer who is sick. Oh well. She should be fine. It looks more and more like nute burn but there is something else there too the red dots going down the center of the fan leaves. I might pinch the leaves tomorrow with my thumb. A few of the other ones look very healthy and appear to be maturer then the others. I see more and more resin production every day so I think thats a good sign. Boys where are the pics you promised me im waiting?

OMG I CANT WAIT THAT LONG. But thanks. Hopefully its 60 days rather then 70. Well I think some are going to be done before others. So I would be happy if one of the girls were done by 60. I read something where somebody said you can harvest just the top of the plant then leave the bottom branches in the light a few extra days and they grow bigger cause ther are getting direct light. Is this true or is this some BS to get my crop messed up.

it must be the water then im going to water these babies. I am in soil. Alright so I guess I'm going to have to feed them 3 times a week instead of just 2

Definately look dry, a good rule of thumb (haha) is to stik your index finger in the soil. If it's dry to your first knuckle it's time to water. Hope this isn't too late!
