DR60/ LED Grow Xmas Spectacular (LR2 Cross Breeds)

[Roortokeage]

Jan 6th 2010

--Checked to see if Plant dried up, And she is!!!

--I can see alot of Undergrowth and Stunted Leaves from the lack of Light from the CFLS and LED Panel.

--Some of the leaves touched the bulbs, and had to cut off the burnt part. Will have to raise the lights a little or lower a few to help.

--The lil EasyRyder is Holding on and tryng to recover. I may just throw away and start over. She doesnt seem to be looking good.

The Issues and problems

 

[Mr.Meds]

Prune your sucker branches and leave all fan leaves. Don't throw her away???? It's an auto, throw it in the corner and neglect it if you want to grow a different prize example. or give it to someone who may need it.

The Issues and problems

Don't toss her! She still looks very healthy to me! At least not anything too bar beyond what a little tlc can't fix. First of all, i believe you are over-watering or at one point were over-watering. Cut back a bit on frequency, at her size i'd say she can probably do just great with a every 3/4 days a good, full watering.

Did you say you gave her a good flush? If you haven't i recommend doing that right now, give her a good few gallons of ph tested water and let her dry out until she perks up a bit.

Now when it comes to it's next feeding, what nutes are you using? What dosages? What's your feeding schedule like? Frequency?

Also, cut back mistings almost completely in flower, she really doesn't need any foliar spray, you're just creating good chances for bud rot or mildew. If your temps are ok, and your humid is 20~30ish than you should be ok as far as your setup goes, try putting the light as far down as possible so you can put your hand there for a good 2 minutes and not have to remove it.

Good luck!

thanks for the reply, i wasnt throwing that out sir. I was throwing away the lil baby, it fell over too many times and I said fuck it. i made room for the big gurl and here is the pics from what I did to her. I gave her a hair cut and shortened the shoots. I will get the pics up in a little I also changed the light sched to 20/4 to promote some stretching. See what happens.

 

[Roortokeage]

here are the updated Pics after it got its Haircut and moved everything around. I added 1 more CFL and Also got more space now. Take a look.

 

[redspaghetti]

Looking good as usual!!

Cheers,

 

[Mr.Meds]

"shave and a hair cut, two bits" looks good Roor!

 

[Roortokeage]

Thanks guys, yah she needed it, I couldnt take the poor penetration of the cfls so I just got some of thelight in. I also put on a 20/4 schedule see how this works.

--Taken Pics for some to see how she is doing.

--Still Looks Hurting On the bottom where we gave her a haircut.

--Tips are A Slight yellowish On the very Tips of Leaves. Not all But some.

--Gave 3 Full Cups of 6.3PH water and Checked Run-off It was 6.3Ph And 800-1000PPM

 

[Roortokeage]

Anyone help me or tell me why my baby is soo hurting from the haircut?
Most of the bottom of the plant where I pruned looks like this. Any idea

 

[nnep]

Overwatering i imagine. you started your seed inside the same container right? Chances are that each time you water your water is either pooling inside the bag or the entire bag is never really fully drying out, so your roots arent getting air.

Cut back the waterings to once every 3/4 days.

 

[Roortokeage]

Thanks nnep. After I pruned the plant it did this. Do you think from cutting off the fan leaves and cutting off some of the bud nodes. Or I should say shorten the shoots. So that the buds at the end would be thicker and bigger??

Uhh I wish this would come back. I dont think its over watering. Maybe it is pooling to one side. But I get 1/8 of a cup of run off. PH is fine and so is the PPM.

 

[Mr.Meds]

I agree with water. I thought you were showing signs of stress on the 6th pre-prune? Let her dry out until she's showing signs of being thirsty, that'll promote some stretch too.

What I am saying is when i pruned her she became limp and looked like this. And has been like that for a week I believe. I am not over watering or underwatering. I made more holes in the bag so We will see if that helps. Also I let her get dry, when i see the soil dry on the top holes its time to water, i also go by weight.

 

[Mr.Meds]

I was going to suggest to try to make some more holes. =) Weight is a much more accurate way of telling. I think the roots need air. I've found that plants that have gotten too little of water will bounce back faster than a plant receiving too much. Not only that but the plant getting too little of water will be bigger. Other than that I'd say try to foliar feed micro nutrients.

I gave them some Superthrive like 6 drops to 3 cups. SO lets see if that will help. I added some holes. But think I will need more. Ang get her on a stand so that the holes on bottom can breathe a little more.

Now why will a plant with less water be bigger than a plant with more water?? Can you explain??

And why would one want a stretched out plant? I rather a short FAT bushy Plant.

 

[Mr.Meds]

A plant with too much water will be stunted and cease growth until the roots can develop. Roots don't develop and travel in saturated soil the way they do in completely dry soil. When it's completely dry they SEEK out the moisture which makes a larger root mass. I was talking about stretching the flowerings. Not stem elongation. Fat and bushy is good, especially with LED.

 

[Roortokeage]

gotcha. so what do you think i do now wait a 2 more days? and let her get real dry up in there?
