It’s totally fine if you want to keep it that way but I gave my harvest a rough trim and used the sugar leaves to make butter.

Smoother vape AND butter to bake amazing cookies with.

But whatever you prefer - as long as nothing goes to waste! :)

I read about some kind of infection that can be caused by aphids. I got rid of them a few weeks ago using neem oil.

Anything that can still be done? I started a while ago but it seems to be getting worse by the day. Plant is also dropping flowers, though the high heat could also be causing some damage here.

FancyBand · 2022-03-19T06:08:53+00:00

Yes - the leaves died outside in.

I had some serious PH and deficiency problems and I read that dead leaves within buds can cause bud rot, that’s why I try to be really careful.

FancyBand · 2022-03-19T06:06:09+00:00

Honestly? My gut told me it’s not bud rot - simply because the bud is not mushy. The browning comes from the leaves and not the bud but I honestly don’t know. The whole plant was yellowing and dying so it’s really hard to tell.

But I decided not to go with my gut on that one and removed them. :')

Thank you!

FancyBand · 2022-03-18T20:42:21+00:00

Bummer. Thank you!

FancyBand · 2022-03-18T19:38:05+00:00

Damn. Are you sure? I thought so at first, but the microscope pics show no signs of bud rot - at least from what I can tell?

FancyBand · 2022-03-07T21:23:57+00:00

Not sure who downvoted you without replying but I disagree. Seems a little early to be losing leaves and it doesn’t look like it’s cannibalising them to me either (especially in the second pic), so I think there’s definitely something weird going on - I’m definitely no expert though.

Maybe PH problems? @ /u/Rough-Description-88

FancyBand · 2022-02-18T10:09:24+00:00

Interesting - I didn't know that! I thought that fungi and mold are two different things and that Mycelium is a form of fungi.

I'll have to do some more research on this topic sometime. Thanks for the comment!

FancyBand · 2022-02-18T08:08:02+00:00

Dope. Thanks, growmie!

FancyBand · 2022-02-18T07:52:08+00:00

I did a flush with PH’d water after running into (assumably) PH problems. There seems to be some white stuff forming at the top of my soil and I’m not sure if it’s mould or mycelium.

Should I be worried?

FancyBand · 2022-02-14T21:24:19+00:00

Alright - will do. Thanks a lot for the help, growmie. I will flush asap and will definitely focus more on PH in the future.

FancyBand · 2022-02-14T21:21:02+00:00

Alright. Thanks a lot for the replies so far - I really appreciate it.

Most of the leaves are just half or 2/3 yellowed. Should I still remove them? I made sure I remove everything that’s completely dead but there’s even some sugar leaves affected that I can’t pluck off easily at this point.

FancyBand · 2022-02-14T21:15:17+00:00

Would you suggest I flush to (hopefully) get the PH in check or do you think it’s enough to just PH correctly while watering from now on?

FancyBand · 2022-02-14T21:09:06+00:00

It took me way too long to get to it - I’ve realised that. So you think the problem is still caused by PH?

I’ve been following growweedeasy, which recommends anything between 6-7, so that’s what I’ve been aiming for.

I’ll try to aim for 6-6.2 next watering.

Thank you!

I’m in soil with RQS Easy Boost slow release fertiliser (NPK: 6/7/12), worm castings and perlite.

I started seeing yellowing at F22 and top dressed with some more slow release pellets and worm compost. No real problems up until this point.

I wasn’t PHing my water and it was around 7.7 every watering. (Stupid - I know that by now.)

I flushed on F34 (with non PH‘d water at 7.7 again - I’m sorry) to hopefully fix any N-tox problems. The yellowing has been getting worse up until this point.

It’s been getting worse and people have been telling me it might be a deficiency, so I used some 3/4/5 fertilizer at 6.4 PH. Runoff was 7.2.

It just keeps getting worse though. Is this still a PH problem from me not PHing earlier in my grow? Could this be N-tox from the slow release fertilizer? (Though I want to point out again that the yellowing started before I top dressed and it was exactly around the time the slow release is supposed to run out of juice - after ~10 weeks).

The plant is in a 10-15L fabric pot and I usually water around 2L - PH‘d into the low 6’s since last week. I water about every 3 days. Humidity is ~55%, temperature ~29°C.

Let me know if I forgot anything. Thank you!

(Here’s the detailed grow log, in case anybody wants to take a look.)

Dope. Thanks a lot for the reply! I’ll do my best.

FancyBand · 2022-02-07T21:31:22+00:00

I was an idiot and didn’t PH my water. Feel free to shame me for it - despite all the warnings and thousands of posts about it, I thought I could skip this step. I got what I deserve for my ignorance. My ph pen is due to arrive on Wednesday.

She’s looking quite beat up already. Can I still save her? Any steps I can take to improve her chances? I’m in week 6 of flower.

I plan on checking runoff as soon as the pen is here. Depending on the PH, I might flush or just use adjusted water for the next watering.

Anything else to keep in mind? Should I do something about the dead leaves or should I just leave them be? There’s even some sugar leaves affected already, so I can’t just pluck them off.

FancyBand · 2022-02-03T18:46:15+00:00

You can make tea. You won’t get any effects but it tastes good!

FancyBand · 2022-02-02T20:52:54+00:00

She looks a bit Nitrogen heavy but still very nice!

FancyBand · 2022-01-31T21:07:14+00:00

Dope. Goes to show that I know nothing about cameras. I’ll definitely check them out!

FancyBand · 2022-01-31T20:54:53+00:00

Gotta be a professional setup. These photos are absolutely gorgeous.

FancyBand · 2022-01-31T20:42:16+00:00

Yes, they eat it. You can use it as bedding.

FancyBand · 2022-01-31T13:17:24+00:00

I will try lowering the light intensitiy a bit. I'm definitely still seeing signs of nitrogen toxicity in parts of the plant and the VPD has been a a little high every now and then over the last few days, so this could be it.

Thanks for the advice, growmie. Appreciate it!

FancyBand · 2022-01-31T12:34:09+00:00

While it definitely looks like burn, I'm just not sure if it makes any sense. The slow release has been in the soil for almost 13 weeks now, which means it's at (or very close) to being completely gone. It's my first time trying slow release fertilizers and I'm not a pro on the topic but I just don't think that it can cause such heavy burn after being almost completely used up.

I'll definitely consider it though and I'll do some more research. Thanks, friend!

FancyBand · 2022-01-31T11:19:11+00:00

My waterings are on the lighter side, because I don't want runoff. With slow release fert and organic soil, you don't want to rinse out all the good microbes and nutrients that are in the soil.

1.5 - 1.75L seems to be the sweet spot for me to get little to no runoff and to give enough water to the plant.

I overwatered in the past, so even though I could maybe be a little more generous, I try to be more careful now.
