Thanks everybody!:yes:



Obviously this is a cut,selected from 6 girl last summer...the previous grow was aborted at early/mid flowering,so i don't know the exact flowering time of the cut.I choose this one mainly because of her structure and resin prod.Some produce bigger buds but not so frosty.They all smelled similar to ethiopian or some haze hydrid,something like a metallic/pine/incense smell.


After nine weeks of 12/12,four of 11/13,she's now at 10/14 for approx. three weeks...Should i tell you that things are getting harder,i really hope she'll not be too long because she's not so healthy...this is the first time i have a so slow plant,until now my longer one was a haze hydrid that i chopped at 16 w of 12/12 from seeds...:whistling:

Anyway i'm quite glad of myself,even if i don't drive her perfectly( you can see the brown spots on the leaves and the burnt/dead tips).:dance013:




Peace!

She's looking lovely dude. Leaf spotting could be slight calcium deficiency perhaps? Tips could be either too much N (burnt/brown tips) or not enough P (dead/grey tips).

It's really difficult to get the ratios right with these girls as feed and soils aren't really made for these types of extreme sativa but I think this is one of the best looking girls I've seen for a while, lovely resin :watchplant:

Thanks bro for your input!

Well it's possible for the calcium as i had some issues with root temp...i sorted it out with a warming cable(since one week),i believe it 'll work well.

Don't think it's too much N cause they don't really seems to be burnt...while P is a good idea cause the tips seems white/yellow,but they roll themselves up...i'm quite bad at the reading game,will try to get a better pic of the damage ASAP!

Hi panta :wave:

I think she looks look great for 16 weeks, and I don't think the tip burn is a big issue. I also think it's very hard to find the cause, - I've had that effect from hot soil after transplant, and also from feeding stuff like Plagron Alga-Bloom. Did you feed them anything recently? Another cause could be low ph, sometimes soil drops in ph over time. Do you know the ph of the medium? From what I understand, low ph (in soil) could also reduce availability of calcium and phosphorus. See http://soils.tfrec.wsu.edu/mg/chemical.htm and http://ag.arizona.edu/pubs/garden/mg/soils/ph.html.

But, again, she looks lovely :respect:

peace & love,

Hello lynx!


Well,there is a long time since last transplant,but i recently gave her a bit of feed(half-dose)...guess what...with the prod you're speaking about lol...maybe it's that,but i have to test my run-off ph too.


Here are some more pics of the damage,all input are welcome!

Hm, I think that's it then... I remember asking people on the Vibes, and several had had the same experience, so if it appeared a day or two after feeding... Check the pic of my South Indian...

Yeah,it really look similar...although i should say that leaves tips are clearer for real than in the pics...well,the hunt for the supreme sativa feeding prod is opened...:biggrin:

Do you think a little flush could be beneficial?
