I think the yellowing is from radiant heat. Those plants are centered on the table correct?

I also noticed some smaller leaves on the alien and chem. I have run a lot of Alien clones that "dudded" on me. I'm not sure what the genetic reasoning is behind the phenomenon but it definitely isn't an environmental issue. something in that gene pool is broken......

 

[Treetroit City]

Nice cali, looks like you'll be stocked in the buds for some time. Just re-read, 34 days? Damn man you're killing it!

 

[guest5703]

Hey Humble thanks for chiming in! Thats awesome to hear that the aliens were possibly a genetic flop, although everyone supposedly gets huge numbers off her? And radiant heat huh?? Yes they are in the center where it is hottest, I suppose I would need better airflow to get rid of that heat??? Thanks brotha!

Thanks Third coast! Its kind of ridiculous to see GI look so dank and done already, while the Chem D and Stardog are so far behind! I think if possible, my next run will be only GI, its just that good.

Thanks guys!

 

[humbleguy]

raising your light would be the only solution for radiation damage. fans will displace hot air but not affect radiation. The alien stock you have may or may not produce. I had several runs of duds from that same stock and I did everything humanly possible to get them to snap out of it! no more alien dawg for me

Found this one finally. Thanks for sig n it up. Looks great from here.
My gc did the same funky thing as those gi Are doing. Don't think it's heat IMO I think it's an early deficiency from who knows what. I had same thing though and only few were like that. Yeild was less on them slightly, but rest was there so don't fret. I really wonder what causes it. Mine were on edge of table n did same thing. That's how I rule out heat. Prob something with the gc genes that ur gi picked up. It looks exactly like gc too but I've said that before.
Job well done. I'm gonna have to head out that way some day n seshhhh with the ol caliG

sup bro, looking alot better than the last. Keep It Green and Stay Safe..HE

 

[Old Soul]

Hey Cali, looking great in here as always. Stardog is one of my favorites, she is one greasy girl. That Green Ice is always a winner for sure, and you can never go wrong with some Chem D, great lineup bro.

peace

 

[TRA1NWRECK]

how is your chem d looking at this point? stinking at all??

 

[guest5703]

humbleguy-Yea the Chem D seems to be lacking this round....It's likely a dud, although she looks like she is packing on resin now in some areas, there is hardly a smell.

Sirsmokalot-What up homie! That would be sick if you come out to socal, we will have a party lined up for you when you come, count on it! Funny I have two GI's on the side of the table that look fantastic! I think its a combo of radiant heat possibly, and root aphids for sure.

hieagle420-Thanks brotha, how is your setup doing these days, any threads I should pop into?

Old Soul-Yo man I havent seen you around in awhile! Hope all is well...The Stardog is greasy for sure, great way to explain her! I usually say she looks really resinous, or wet looking, but I like greasy!

TRA1NWRECK-I think the Chem cuts I got have crapped out! They look kind of pleasing, but no smell and it just doesnt look right....


Good to see everyone in here, made me want to sit down and edit to show you the pictures I took a few days ago! Things are looking good, I cut down two GI about 5 days ago, and 3 more last night. I still have 2 BOMB ass looking GI's left, flushing them hard as fuck. Then the Stardogs and the Chems need a week or two longer, kind of ridiculous that they take so long while GI is already hanging!!! Stardog is smelling stronger than last round I believe, a faint scent of Diesel. The Chem doesn't smell very much at all.

WOOT!

 

[TRA1NWRECK]

whats up with the chem dizzle?!!!??? Sucks to hear that. Did you hit them with shooting powder?

Looking real good bro. I think that the yellowing and lack of ChemD health might be caused by root aphids damage; differing levels of damage from plant to plant would explain your variations within a strain all getting the same feed. I have seen the same phenomenon. I think a lot of people don't realize the extent of damage they do, or interpret it as a nutrient/ environmental problem.
The bacterial /fungal infections they cause in root wounds can show up in just these ways (some pics of Albert Walker / Chem4 in my gallery for example) -- I saw the same kind of anomalous top yellowing that looks like a micro/trace nutrient deficiency, and varied greatly from plant to plant within a strain on the same table / feed routine. With lots of treatments (Imid, Pyrethrin drench, Botanigard), things can leg along or in cases finish pretty well, but eradication is a real challenge , and often the inflicted damage is lasting and things just don't shine or produce like they are capable of. It took me a while but after lots of research my conclusion is this: if there are definitely root aphids present, don't rack your brain too hard trying to assess what other parameter might be causing your issues, because your answer is likely buried in your medium, munching and infecting. A real plague. Look up the "Great French Wine Blight" to get some scope of the bane these have been in peoples growing endeavors for centuries. I think systemically treating in veg (imidacloprid) to get them in good health going into flower, and then using shorting flowering strains like GI, is a good approach to living with these things, as hoping to eradicate can feel pretty hopeless in my experience.
Good luck with the rest of your grow my friend, all the best

hieagle420[/B]-Thanks brotha, how is your setup doing these days, any threads I should pop into?
WOOT!

shit bro havent grown anything n over a year since i was busted, gotta find new place or move to a med state. still got the original thread going. Keep It Green and Stay Safe..HE

 

[Natagonnaworrie]

Hey Cali!

Just dropping in to check on the GI v Star race. It is crazy that on is filled out and finished and already hanging/dry and the others are still getting it on. Now that there is extra room i bet those D's and Star's blow up. Interesting comparison. I used to have a similar situation when i had c-99 running along side some OG's.

Man, you have been rocking that GI for a while. How big is your mom? or do you cycle her out for new clones once in a while? I have a strain that no one else seems to have so i have to keep a mom that i have had for over a year and she is root bound in a 7 gallon pot. It's almost that time.

Anyway, i wanted to confirm what humble said abt the alien. Actually i was very happy to see this post.

The alien stock you have may or may not produce. I had several runs of duds from that same stock and I did everything humanly possible to get them to snap out of it! no more alien dawg for me

I have had successful runs of some huge yielding Aliens in the past but my most recent run is dudding out. they are at 8.5 weeks and they are all wispy and airy. Not much resin. I am sort of pissed because i did a whole light of just alien. I noticed that this was going to be a problem at 5 weeks and i have been trying everything i can think of to get them out of it... The strain right next to them is crushing it.

I am sort of happy to hear that is it not me but at the same time disappointed to realize that at 10 weeks there will likely be not much improvement. I agree with you humble, no more Alien for me.

 

[hazy]

Dude that StarDog rocks. You've stepped up your game so much and are growing even more killer looking plants than before. Nice job. I guess you decided that GI was a keeper, you're still running that girl and it looks better than ever.

 

[guest5703]

TRA1NWRECK-Im giving them time to see if they ever actually finish decently....I did hit them once with shooting powder at a low dosage. The Chems look resinous, I know they will get you high, but there is no smell and the buds seem airy.

max_well-Thanks for the words bro, you have some good points, and I'm sure it's root aphids messing with my plants.

hieagle420-Well that's a bummer dude, sorry to hear. Just move on over to Cali!

Natagonnaworrie-What up homiiie.

hazy-Hazy My BROTHA! Thanks for the comment, good to see you as always! You still doing anything??? Got that Sour D or C99??



Chem D looks like she is growing resin properly, but there is hardly no smell at all and the buds seem airy....The Stardog smells little, but I remember it didnt smell much at all before and it still was dank. The resin is for sure there, and the stars seem to be dense as usual....Letting these last girls go a long time, I'm not even sure what day they are on anymore but its gotta be getting close to if not past 60 days. They are flushed heavily, and ready to be pulled at any time now. Check the pics from a few days ago...They might look pretty good, but I am not really stoked on the Chem's smell, and I just hope the Stardogs come through ok.

 

[Old Soul]

Nice update bro, the buds look real nice. Chem D is very different. I have grown the 4 forever, and had the D about a year now. I know I am still dialing mine but I don't find it to have as strong of an odor as I was expecting. The D imo smells like body odor and diesel mixed together, but the smell doesn't smack you in the face like some other strains.
Now the stardawg on the other hand is probably one of the stinkiest, greasiest girls I have in my garden at the moment so I am surprised you said that yours doesn't smell much.

Have a great weekend bro.

 

[Natagonnaworrie]

Thats odd. I have never found the stardawg to be exceptionally stinky, even after a proper cure (i have some that is 2 months in glass) BUT she consistently puts out some of the tightest buds in the room. I mean DENSE. and she it potent as hell.

Looking good Cali! If you are + 60 days are you using any sugars or just a straight flush? My last run i watered twice with H&G Bud XL (another sugar product) and then one hard flush with pure RO and the buds came out great.

 

[hazy]

Hey cali :friends: Yep, still running both the SD and C99. I have a SD in 3 gallons of coco that I put a modular scrog on. I have a bunch of buds stretching above the screen right now, looks like it might be one of my best yields with it.

 

[guest5703]

Old Soul-The D came out fire even a week pulled to early.....The Chem 4 was awful, no smell, no resin, fluffy, and this "Chem D" reminds me of the Chem 4 I grew so I think I got mixed up somewhere...The Star last run didnt smell very much, a slight diesel and thats it, but she was great to smoke! Resinous and strong! This run she is looking different, not as compact and tight buds although they are still dense and look very resinous.

Natagonnaworrie-Yea its past 60, I think at 65 now and I've been flushing for two weeks straight with only RO, that might be the problem. I think they needed something else, I hit them once with MOAB lightly. I bet if I use sugars next run I will see a difference, I used to run botanicares Sweet and it seemed to do something....

hazy-Thats awesome Hazy!!! Glad to here you are still having fun! You have any pics of that scrog?? Keep it up buddy!

I've flushed the Chem and Stardog more that I've probably ever flushed a plant before lol. They are still finishing, some white hair foxtailing going on, but really the main buds are all finished and should be ready to cut as of now. I'll chop em down in a day or two.

All my clones didnt root, as usual....I built a new ez cloner and it looks mean, but only rooted two clones.....I know it was a bit hot and that prevented a lot of rooting, but two cuts from a new strain I popped from seed rooted, must be strong genetics...I've popped a bunch of seeds and may end up doing a seed run this time, although I actually dont like the idea of running strains I don't know about.....Might just put them outdoors, we will see.....Peace

 

[Old Soul]

Well hopefully things didnt get mixed up and it was just a bad run. My 4 throws some pretty solid nugs and smells like fresh lemon diesel, you gotta sample her sometime. I dont even know how to describe the smell of the stardawg, there is diesel in there for sure, but there is another funk that I cannot pinpoint exactly, my nose loves it though. lol
