Purple Stems, among other things...

[Chem&M]

Okay, don't know strain specifics, though it is Afghani in origin.

Food is Fox Farm and we're at day 19 since 12/12.

I have been feeding every other day, and watering on day I'm not feeding with B.Strap in the water.

RH always between 30-55%

In coco, it was flushed.

I use R/O water, so I don't add cal/mag. I have also been boosting this one with Bio-Root from G.O. and occasionally adding Diamond Nectar, but other than that, just the 3 FF products.

PH has been stable between 5.7-6.0 in and PPM's have been fine, but here are the few things...


I followed the Fox Farm schedule and I think I may be a little ahead of myself. It's been 19 days since 12/12, but they didn't pre-flower until after about a week or so. This makes me think I may not be supplying the proper nutes at the right time.


Also, my heat went off for a day and temps went from between 62 and 80. Large difference, not ordinary. Normally 65-78.


I watered this morning with a PPM of 79.4 in and got 334 out.


I have Cha-Ching, and have never used it, but I'm going to, and I don't want to add it if everything else isn't in order. Please help.

Yes, I used the advanced search function and realize it got a bit chilly, but the pic of the bottom leaf suggest something else I thought. What's with the up-claw? Growth is still happening, just a bit slower than I expected and the plant doesn't "stand-up" like it use to..

I also thought I may need to give it more root space. Thoughts?

I guess I should also add that I just switched from a MH to a HPS light. 400watts for both.

well Chem&M you produced a very detailed report on your plant....your only at 19 days flowering so a translanting would indeed help the root zone by the looks of the purpling petioles and light green leaves you might have a nutrient lockout caused by salt build ups in the coco.................

"I watered this morning with a PPM of 79.4 in and got 334 out. "

the ppm is over 4 times the amount you put into it......

i would suggest lightly flushing the plant with plain ph'd water and easing off the nutrients maybe instead of feeding everyday try to do it every 2nd or 3rd day and just water more in between the extra water should wash away some of the built up salts in the coco.....

besides that the plant itself looks good looks, and right on schedule for 19 days
it's just a little light green....give em more water in between feedings and stretch out the frequency on which you feed them......

ease off the epsom salts unless you notice the condition worsen.....

hope i could help out a little....good luck and i hope she feels better

well I guess i missed that post i guess it's kinda easer to determine then i thought if you just switched from MH to HPS then your plant is suffering from light stress ..it will be light green for about 1 week then she should get used to the red spectrum.......


i guess you can almost disregard the first post then ...lmao

Thanks dude. I went ahead and transplanted into a 2 gallon bag and flushed with PH'd r/o water and Hygrozyme.

I added myco to the root zone to reduce stress. She's had a hard few days.

Is this feeding schedule something that has worked for you before? Myself I feed every day.

Food is Fox Farm...just the 3 FF products.

I'm assuming you got the hydro mix and not the soil mix.

I use R/O water, so I don't add cal/mag.

That could be a problem. Any time you use RO water, you remove the cal and mag already in your tap water and need to supplement it.

I watered this morning with a PPM of 79.4 in and got 334 out.

the only problem there- maybe you just flushed out your nutes.

Now, after looking at your pics, I'm thinking that little bit of claw you have up on the top growth is from a Ca def and you have some mild interveinal chlorosis (lightening) spread over the rest of the plant which is a Mg def.
The last pic has the look of an N def but that may be the light.

I think you need to add a bit of cal mag to your mix.
Consider feeding every day, but like I said earlier, if that's worked before, just the cal mag.

My concern is that every 2-3 days your washing away nutes and starving the plant till the next feed. And since you repotted, you will not have to worry about nute/salt buildup for the rest of this run, unless you get real heavy handed with the nutes. Then when you add more nutes, a lot of your cal and mag attach themselves to the coco. it's a cation thing. The coco likes to hold onto cations so when you wash them away, next time you give nutes, they attach themselves to the coco and what's left gets taken by the plant.

Hazy, I really appreciate it man. Thanks for stopping in. I'll add the cal/mag and try to feed everyday, unless it starts to work out. I haven't tried this schedule before, but it seems like they are hungry.

I'm going to give them some food now since everything has been flushed away and give it a go.

That Nitrogen def, if think, is because I followed FF's hydro schedule, but I'm ahead of myself and thus not giving them the correct nutes. In this week, if I'm right, they go back to Grow Big and Big Bloom without the Tiger Bloom.

We'll see what happens. Thanks guys!

I noticed that I never really see follow-ups in the infirmary area, so I decided to post one.


I did take both bits of advice I received here and after preforming the tasks I stated in the post above, everything is back to smooth sailing. A+ advice here. Thank you.
