Hi I`ve had a thread running here in this forum regarding a recurring problem I`ve had with my growing tor the past 3 grows. http://www.icmag.com/ic/showthread.php?t=138214
I haven`t been able to get on top of the problem though despite a friend of mine growing the same stock and strain with complete success using, as far as I can see, the same method.
Its so annoying, I`ve been growing for many many years and yet I`m failing somehow here.
I have another small grow tent grow elsewhere from my main 15 plant grow and I`m having the same problems there too.
These 4 plants were the strongest of 36 clones planted into jiffy`s pre soaked in rhizotonic with the aid of a cloning gel. The roots were explosive coming out of the Jiffy`s in every direction, but the leaves had already started to go pale and starting to go yellow between the veins by the time they were rooted well. I potted them into 7inch pots to grow them on until rooted enough to go into 12ltr buckets, but over 3 weeks on and no roots are showing through the holes in the pots. The plants have little vigour to them, they`re pale and sickly looking in the leaf, have purple stems.
They`re being fed Ec10 at ph5.9 along with a dose of "calmax", Cal and Mg supplement thinking this is a Mg deficiency. and they`re being foliar fed twice a day.
The enviroment is good for these plants with temps and humidity well within range with a good air exchange. They`ve under a 400 watt sodium for a couple of weeks now after starting off under a 250watt flouro light.
I`d naturally think that this stock has a weakness in their genetics, but that cant be the case as my friend is growing some from the same batch of 36 clones that these 4 came from and they look absolutely fine, using apparently the same methods and nutes. I`ve had problems with 3 15plant crops of this plant the second of which produced a 19oz yield as opposed to the 60+ I`d expect. My 3rd 15 plant grow is suffering and will be down on yield again but not as bad as it was last time. This is going to be the 2nd attempt at a tent scrog grow, the last one yielded 8oz, but I`d have expected a good deal more than that if I was without these problems. I`m thinking of ditching these if I cant get on top of it soon, if I can get some fresh stock from friends that is. I`d rather get on top of this than have it beat me though.
If anyone can help to shed light on this I`d be very grateful. 3 pics of the young ones from the grow tent, and one of a section of my current 15 plant grow 3-4 weeks from harvest.
Cheers, Tokesome
