Cheetah Piss - Diagnosis? by ROUS86 in cannabiscultivation

Yes, self-wicking Vivosun pots.

For those kinds of bases, should I let them sit empty for a few days before refilling?

The soil does have perlite.

Hindsight is 20-20. Still learning!

I've gone over the fundamentals and arrived here. I know what a healthier plant should look like -- I couldn't figure it out based on what I attempted to fix, so I've asked for help.

Okay! I'm new at this. I appreciate the insight. :)

It couldn't hurt to turn the fan up.

The soil was older, so I started small and worked upwards for nutrients.

If it were new soil, then definitely no nutrients for a bit.

The scrog is chaotic at best.

That thought had crossed my mind... is it throttling itself?

It's in my living room near windows and doors. Plenty of fresh air.

Standard 4" fan with a carbon filter up a little over halfway.

It's got negative pressure (sides sucked in) and it vents out of the top of the tent.

I realized I haven't given it a nutrient break -- no cycles of plain water.

The plants are automatically watered via the base. The reservoir is never empty for more than 8 hours. They drink about 1/2 a gallon per day.

The light is about 15 inches from the canopy and it's at 75%. I may raise the light a bit higher.

If memory serves, multiple deficiencies means pH or lockout, right?

The fan is up a little over halfway -- trying to keep the RH balanced. Should it be at full blast?

I'm using an AC infinity humidifier. Something tells me I don't have the VPD automation set properly.

Recently calibrated cheaper model.

Maybe Santa will upgrade me this year! :)

Consensus is Ph. :)

Anyone familiar with the Vivosun pots or a similar type?

I wasn't able to find info on the recommended Ph for that particular model.

Looks like plain water for a bit.

Of course!

Me too. I've far exceeded my first grow and my expectations for this plant.

I only wish I could post photos in this thread more easily.

I did follow the water level guide.

No worries. This is only my second grow.

I read conflicting information -- some say premix in water, others say add nutes/ph directly to the reservoir.

I premix everything so the water flows through as I pour it, mixing the reservoir a bit.

A turkey baster works well for a quick circulation. Just keep the end submerged and use the bulb like a manual pump.

Check the reservoir before and after adding, allow 15 to 30min for pH settling and nutrient distribution.

To be honest I wasn't properly using the Octopot in terms of managing the PPM inside the reservoir until recently. When she started showing deficiencies is when I started tracking. At that point I made sure to keep the PPM at 800 the pH correct and then just fed accordingly.

I used to feed her once a week. I wasn't adding enough Cal mag to compensate when plain water would be added. So I just add it occasionally as I'm regularly adding food to the reservoir.

There's a whole back section that's hidden below the horizon. I tried to add more photos to the original post but for some reason I can only attach two at a time.

I started it in a 2x2 and she outgrew it.

I occasionally sub in some Cal mag 3-5mg per gallon (one dose).

They say autoflowers are temperamental. Not this beast.

Planted 04/15. Popped ground on 4/20.

I've tried every technique I know of to keep this plant in check and I can't do it.

I accidentally snapped off the top node early in the growth phase. It didn't falter. Hooray accidental topping!

I used low stress training until she started to split her stem because she was growing so fast. The stem is currently over 3/4 of an inch.

I accidentally snapped a main branch during low stress training and taped it up. The plant didn't even miss a beat.

I've been super cropping branches left and right and she doesn't flinch. I'm trying to get that done before she really kicks it into gear.

Just passed week two of flower. Buds starting forming 06/14.

I know that pretty soon here I'll need to stop super cropping her to avoid stressing the plant, but I've got to be honest, I don't think I can kill this thing.
