Hi everyone.

My two outdoor plants have started grown a few pistils but I’m unsure if this is a sign of the flowering phase? or just the plant showing it’s sex? or pre flowering? 

Can anyone please shed some light on the subject? 

TIA

That plant is looking much happier bud.

Thanks. Your advice about the nutrients and watering really made a huge difference

Thanks. It’s a auto that I planted at the end of November.

Dud you have leaf miner's they mine in the middle of the elave causeing those lines, they are quite hard to get rid of because they are inside the leaf, take it off before they move to the stem.

 

Do some searching on google how to get rid of leaf miners from your cannabis plants

Yeah. It looks like a little bit of neem oil has sorted them right out.

I think I’ve got it. Thanks for all the help

Theres your issue bud. You need to up the feed to at least 2ml per L and when you water water enough until you see run off out the bottom , wait for the pot to dry out and repeat . At 2l every few days you are not letting the medium cycles wet and dry and getting salt build up from the biobizz. You need to get runoff to keep the salts in the medium under control otherwise it builds up which is what is happening to you. 

I guess I was so worried about overwatering and nutrient burn that I induced it myself. Facepalm. How often do you think I should repeat this process? Should I keep watering every 2 days? And should I stick to alternating between nutrients and ph balanced water or no?

thanks for you help btw.

Those soil probes are useless , never seen one that does't read between 6-7 lol. If you using biobizz your ph should be around 6 which is fine . I think she just may be hungry. How much biogrow are u putting per L

1ml per L. They are 20L pots so I feed 2L at a time so 2ml per 2L

The burn could definately be from neem . What biobizz are u feeding and how much per l . What are u checking / correcting ph with?

I’m using bio bizz bio grow and checking ph with a soil probe. I haven’t had to correct the ph because it’s always been between 6 and 7

Also started using neem oil recently. Could that have something to do with it?

The lines are leaf miners and the other marks look like wind burn . That plant also is either hungry or has a ph issue as well.

Cheers

I feed them every two days and tested thre ph again this morning. It’s between 6 and 7. I’ll look into leaf miners.

First and 3rd pic looks like damage from some type of worm. Probably a small caterpillar. Can we see a pic of your whole plant

Sorry it’s taken so long but here you go. It seems to be getting worse too.

Hi everyone. 

Can anyone one shed some light on what these brown/yellow marks are and a way to get rid of them?

I’ve read that they could be nutrient burn or the incorrect ph of the soil. But ph is between 6 and 6,5. Measured with a ph probe. And I’m giving them the minimum dose of 2ml per liter of nutrients. Giving nutrients one watering and the ph balanced the next. So alternating between the two.

TIA.

Normal I grow out in 5L pots, however I have an outdoor plant that is in a 10L pot, currently nearing final flowering. I give her about 1 L water a day, generally just around her stem area, HOWEVER, she is a little bonzai and not a conventional tree like my other plants. Bigger plants obviously need mire water.

With her I also just pick up the pot to feel how heavy it is. Soil growing is so complicated

How many grams do you usually get from the 5l pot?

I'm also guilty of the finger method of watering my plants, but try wait until your plant is almost totally dry without dying then pick her up and weigh her, so if she's  2kg dry weight feed her with X amount of water/nutes and then weigh her again and you'll have a base line to go by for a feeding schedule going forwards brother....

 

hope this helps....

So if it’s a 10 liter pot and weighs 8kg’s I water her with 2 liters?

i just realized my reply made no sense.

They look a little dry to me. You should be able to water them every second day at that size, around 500ml each.

The top layer of soil is dry but if I put my finger in it I can feel it’s a bit moist. Plus the moisture meter says it’s wet. I don’t want to risk overwatering them. Isn’t 500ml too little for a 10 liter pot? I’ve read that you should water 1/4 the size of the pot every 2-3 days. Appreciate your help btw.

Hi everyone. I started my first grow about 21 days ago. I’m growing the Critical Mass CBD strain from dinafem in freedom farms soil using 10 liter freedom pots. 

So far they’ve been getting good sunlight and I can see them growing everyday. When I checked on hem this morning though one of them has started dropping quite a bit. I’m pretty sure this is because of overwatering. I would water them with 2 liters of ph balanced water. The last time I watered them was 4 days ago and the reading on my moisture meter is still in the wet region.

Anyway my question is this. Is this drooping caused by overwatering and what can I do to help my plants stand upright again?

TIA
