Indica Troubleshooting

Defiance · 06-12-07, 19:54

Hey everyone! My FOAF's friend gave him a call the other day. Seems that his friend has started a DWC grow in his basement and they were running into some troubles. My FOAF has absolutely zero knowledge about cannabis cultivation (Only consumption

) but since he's done a bit of hydro work in the past he offered to help.

Anyway, here's what my FOAF knows about the grow: The plant is a female indica clone, about 8" tall and 12 days into veg. on 24 light. His friends said the clone was pretty well rooted in rockwool when they got it, but was looking a bit stressed and yellow. PH is between 5.5 and 6 (Stupid chemical test kits) and the water was recently changed. Nutes are FloraNova Grow at 1000ppm (Up from 700PPM) and the yellowing has continued even after the nute boost. It's under 150W of full-spectrum CFL with another 150W on the way.

I'm attaching the pics that my FOAF took today when he was at his friends' house, and I'll run any suggestions by the lot of them later this week.

Thanks for any help!

try flushing it for a day with plain water, and then continuing with ur regimen. it will figure it out... well rooted clone by the way!

So you don't think the spotting and yellowing visible in the pics indicates a deficiency? I'm sure the burning in the margins is from the nute boost, I've seen the same in my tomato seedlings, but the other problems are concerning me.

I'll have my FOAF's friends do a plain water flush as soon as they can, thanks

If your plant is currently on only 1 CFL you probably have a light deficiency. I had yellowing in plants that didn't go away until I had fewer plants per CFLs. The plants got more light and turned dark green. 2 plants sharing 6 CFL(100W equivalent) bulbs worked OK.

yep. my indica is very light sensitive. that and high nitrogen wouldn't hurt at this point. it won't help the yellow now but new growth could be sweet.

yeah, nice clone

yeah i wouldnt think that nute boost would have done a stressing plant any good. do the flush as mentioned and get the nutes at a safe level for about a week, then boost. dont want to stress her more than necessary.

the_chosen_one · 06-13-07, 16:33

oops

yeah, i meant after the flushing.

Defiance · 06-13-07, 16:57

Hey thanks guys. My FOAF phoned his friends and the plant is started on a fresh water flush. Just to clarify it's not 150W equivalent, it's a full-on 150W daylight CFL. I've grown produce under less, but I'm not sure how bright cannabis needs it.

Dipole · 06-13-07, 23:05

I think TCO and drtask are giving you advise that will do the plants well.

Defiance · 06-13-07, 23:19

Thanks Dipole, and I appreciate your input as well. My FOAF is having a great time learning about all of this. It's getting to the point that he's considering putting in a plant of his own as soon as this next big incubation run is into fruiting. It really gets under your skin, same as with shrooms

Dipole · 06-13-07, 23:45

My feelings exactly too. I know a girl that is almost 2 weeks into flowering. Flowers are busting out all over now. What a hoot.

lol, i hope so. i'm just an old simpleton with Mel's manual. nothing fancy. but it works for me

hopefully getting into this forum will shake off some of the rust

Thanks for all of your advice guys. After a day or two in fresh water she recovered, and here's a picture that my friends shared with me of her in her first day of flowering.

Defiance · 08-12-07, 20:38

Here are a few pictures from week 4 of flowering that my friends passed along.

CoyoteMesc · 08-12-07, 20:47

Really looking good
Im on the start of the third week with some bag weed and all I have is showing of the sex(the two hairs, pistols i guess)
I cant imagine that my plant will look no where near as good as yours in two weeks. Nice job D

Thanks CM, I wish I could take credit but this is 100% my friends' grow

The girl says I'll get my grow room after the ebb & flow strawberry table is ebbing and flowing again. I'm getting a little antsy though, this looks like fun.
