Naughty.Psychonaut Posted March 24, 2021 Author Share Posted March 24, 2021 First, Big thanks for taking the time to share some knowledge guys! I had a bit of a wake up call yesterday on my way home from work, got home and started researching a bunch. realised I can do as much research as I want, but without complete understanding of what I need to be researching I am just shooting in the dark, ended up just sitting there thinking what I could have done that's causing this and the most obvious conclusion I could pull is that I over fed them as it's very clear earlier on in the thread.jumped onto some research about toxifications and found what I was looking for. Not a way to fix my problem, but a way to take the guessing out of the whole situation.I needed to know exactly what's going on in my soil, so...here is what I didI poured some tap water and took some readings, came out at 9.0ph and 0.0 EC. brought the ph down to 5.8 and EC is right. Took the plant with the most stress, gave it 1L of this water, got runoff and the ph was steady at 5.9, but the EC gave a reading of "OR", had to check the users manual, it meant "Out of Range" and the range goes up to 9.9. The preferred EC for a 2 month old plant in organic soil is 0.3 to 1.2... Still wasn't sure where my soils EC was, cz I got the "OR" reading. I gave another 1L and took the readings of that runoff and EC was 9.3... so coming into range, but waaaaaayyy above where it needs to be. basically too many dissolved solids, too many parts per million. This all perfectly correlates to me giving waaaaay too much nutes before. Plant was overfed, soil was clogged with nutes, plants roots where getting scortched and this is causing all sorts of chaos. cause of the abundance of nutes the plant is getting burnt while also showing signs of deficiencies cause of the lock out caused by the toxicity. Carried on flushung till I hit the 1.3 EC mark and repeated the process with all of them. Not even sure if what I did was right, but will see how they react over the next few days. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's helped me a lot, but like I said before they got flushed with rain water then gave a very very small feed and they freaked out. so I already kinda knew the problem was bigger than just a deficiency or a burn from a spray. I have quite some experience with Neem and that was definitly not neem related. maybe the neem helped shrivel up the parts of the leaves that was already damaged, that's for certain. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never give it to my plants like that. ph in the soil was 5.9 ec was 9.9 or maybe even higher, that's what caused the shit 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing like finding what is wrong and being able to fix it, now you that much more experienced and knowledgeably. Super happy its sorted out though. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never give it to my plants like that. ph in the soil was 5.9 ec was 9.9 or maybe even higher, that's what caused the shit I got you, just the observation of the high tap water only, and saw your EC was dangerously high, and you did well to catch it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naughty.Psychonaut Posted March 29, 2021 Author Share Posted March 29, 2021 update 2 girls in the back is perking up a lot, one is the Super Lemon OG which I am excited about. 2 Zkittles in front that took the worst beating just trying to get rid of those necrosed leaves overall colour looking 100 times better and I can already see a lot of growth improvement on the 2 in the back. with the flushing of the soil it got drenched and it's taking a good while for them to dry out, but once they do I will be giving 0.25ml/L of the BiobizzGrow and only 750ml to 1L per pot. one that took the worst knock second worse alright looking one and here's the Super Lemon OG 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naughty.Psychonaut Posted April 7, 2021 Author Share Posted April 7, 2021 got home late last night with the urge to get busy, here's what I did. repot into 30L, FF green bag, mycoroot in the soil, DE top of the soil. watered with tap water. did some hst took photos this morning blurp on. will give another week with this light for them them to settle and make some new growth then bringing in my the new light Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naughty.Psychonaut Posted April 8, 2021 Author Share Posted April 8, 2021 (edited) it was time I had enough of the blurple, I keep getting busy for like 5 min before remembering to switch it off, then I look out the tent and everythings dark and it's an instant headache. anyway, think the girls recovered well from the stress put the scrog net up, might do another layer depending on how they grow out in the next few weeks put the flower light in, still on 18/6 maybe 3 weeks I'll flip to 12/12 wire management here helps me sleep like a baby at night Edited April 8, 2021 by Naughty.Psychonaut 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naughty.Psychonaut Posted April 23, 2021 Author Share Posted April 23, 2021 (edited) not much happening right now, still recovering from the HST and settling into their new pots, growth is rather slow. still on 18/6, *since repotting them I've been giving only dechloronated tap water ph down to 6.0, will give 0.5ml/L fishmix in days to come. picking a leaf here and there everytime I open the tent.

PsyCLown Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 The Banana Hammock looks pretty decent, is the one you're growing now is a cut from the one which produced the buds in your picture? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naughty.Psychonaut Posted April 23, 2021 Author Share Posted April 23, 2021 @PsyCLown indeed. Ethos genetics. they have some nice stuff sometimes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finding the right pheno from Ethos, in my experience, has proven to be quite a challenge. Seems one needs to purchase multiple packs of seeds. A lot of what I have tried from Ethos has been a bit disappointing and just overhyped in general. Never found that keeper pheno unfortunately. 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naughty.Psychonaut Posted April 23, 2021 Author Share Posted April 23, 2021 that is true, I have grown another 2 of their strains and this was the only one worth keeping. might also be the last time I'm growing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PsyCLown Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 If you have the same cutting / pheno as the pics of that Banana Hammock bud I would be interested in doing a trade with you? Perhaps drop me a PM if you are interested. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naughty.Psychonaut Posted May 2, 2021 Author Share Posted May 2, 2021 sooooo, just like that some space opens up, been wanting to get a perpetual thing going for a while now. there's an earlier thread of mine where I built a veg box, since then I moved and didn't have space to put it back up. finally got space, but thought it's time to retire the box. still got all the parts so it's just put aside for now. here she is so now this is veg area, got the little 50w flood light in there too for what it's worth 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
