WhiteRhino + Feeding Line Test | LedCherryBerry


Recommended Posts

I am happy to know that the problem is solved, and yes, the excess light is also harmful if you do not optimize more things (co2, nutrients, etc....)

I have used COBS in a small grow cabinet, they are incredibly powerful. But..... you must put at least one cob on top of each plant, its defect is that they do not enjoy the light much, so it is good to know where they will be located.

In a 60x60 cabinet I made a good crop with two 50W cobs each. The osram brand or believe, I don't remember.

Exactly what i was looking for.
Since my cab is 60x60 and i'm a stranger in SoG method, i will probably always grow 1 plant per cycle, so 1 light is perfect.
Also, 100W is so little compared to my actual 320. 
I'm also considering to buy a regular light, such as a Mars II Pro Epistar 80, but its spectrum is way less fuller than a cob.

If you had both (FS and COB) what would you prefer using? I'm of the idea that a fuller spectrum is more beneficial to the plant than a double-band lamp.. But i might be wrong.

Now that the issue is slowly fading away, i have more calm to make moves.

I've noticed clawing is still present, both from N and overwatering, but i guess in a couple days it should be fine (except for N that is still a mistery to me). 
Then, today, seen a leaf falling, got it and looked at it. It wasn't yellow, nor green. It was.. rusty.. bronze.
FUCK! CHLORINE!
Reading Chlorine symptoms:
-Leaf tips and margins burn, turn bronze color (it is happening)
-Young foliage turns pale green and wilts (it is happening after flush)
-Roots are stunted basically forever, but i can't verify it 
-yellowish and bronze leaves are smaller and develop slowly (always had small leaves, dunno if it's genetics)
-Young leaves develop burned tips and margins (some leaves did it in the first 2 months)
NOTE: both severe def. and excess have the same symptoms.

My leaves don't turn completely yellow before falling, they turn bronze! But since the leaf is so dark, the bronze is barely noticeable.

Starting from now, i'll let my water evaporate for 36 hours before using it. 
Haven't done it before, so i guess mine is an excess. Flushing also happened with chlorine, i guess.
If it's toxic to my plant, i wonder what the fuck i'm drinking everyday. Meh.

Peace!

Day 77, aka Day 22 Bloom. I guess it's time for an update. 


Issues

As of today, i see 1-2 leaves falling per day. It's not bad, but it's not optimal.
Leaves turn light green (compared to their healthy colour) or slightly yellow before falling on their own. 

Spots, instead, appear mostly on edges and tips, and not in the middle of the leaf like before.

Perk-up remains but in lower levels. Clawing is slowly disappearing / it's barely noticeable.


Feeding

Today i fed her a quarter of enhancer recommended dosage (0.25g x LT) as Highlander's still recovering from the flush, but i couldn't miss this feeding as it would've fucked up my schedule too much.
Soil was still a bit moist: on a scale from 1 to 4, it was 1.5. Yet, as said before, i had to feed her. So, instead of feeding her the standard 4LT, i fed her 2.5.


PH spikes

So, since i noticed chlorine symptoms, probably mistaken for a N deficiency/toxicity, i decided to let my water rest for as much time as i have on my hands before feeding it again. Normally, my water sits at 6.7-6.8 PH. Having left it for 36 hours in the watering can, i measured it again to see if something changed (out of curiosity). It was 7.6.
A bit confused, i washed my pen a couple times. Still 7.6. 
I also noticed there was a thin white-ish layer of something, still trying to understand if it's limestone (most probably) or dust. Either way, removed most of it with a strap of toilet paper (no ink on it). Corrected the water to 6.5, and resumed feeding.


Flowers
Buds have grown exponentially in the last week. 
I don't know if it's her schedule, or the flush effects, but flowers have nearly doubled in size in a week. My jaw is on the floor.
I've dared to touch one flower. Smell is definitely piney, with a touch of lemon or some other citrus i can't recon.
 

Pics
I guess it's time for a couple 'o pics.

Day 29, aka start of Week 4 flowering.


Instead of mounting supports for the plant, i've tied Highlander to herself, twice.
It's basically a lighter version of the nets used outdoors to contain a tree. 
Instead of placing a net above the canopy, i've tied the whole plant with a string, circling it all. 
I've also ordered the supports and they should arrive in a week or so. 


Feeding today was a bit different. I've fucked up with the PH down, so i had to use a bit of PH up. 
Fed with PH 6.4, couldn't bring it to 6.5 as i had little time to. Runoff at 6.4.
The supposed Chlorine issue is rapidly spreading towards other, upper leaves.
I'm not sure if it is chlorine, or if it's a deficiency caused by the flush.
Either way, i'm just hoping she reaches 9th week without leaving a trail of leaves.
To be sure, i added just 0.5ML/LT of Cal-Mag-Micro. The yellowing looks much more like a deficiency now.
Hope it's not chlorine and i can fix it with Enhancer and some extra Cal-Mag here and there. I'll keep the dosages VERY low.


Meanwhile, canopy has totally a different feel.
Stretch is completely over. Plant's structure reaches 83cm, 53cm without the pot.
As I'm Sal said, plant put on about 80% of stretch, as i started 12-12 and she was 30-35cm. 
The buds are starting to take shape, trichome production is amazing for being this early.
What i'm reeeeally surprised about this strain is the low smell she emanates. 
Opening the tent doesn't blast your nose, it just smells.. grassy.
But if you dare to touch one bud.. MAN, that's a strong smell. 
Pine scented, pungent, some citrus i can't recon. 
Who knows if she'll explode in smell later in the blooming phase, but as of now i'm really satisfied with it: it's super ninja.


I guess it's time for a couple of pics.

What do you think about the leaf issues? Any thoughts about it? Had something similar before?
Please share your experiences, i need to know how to treat it.


Until next week.. Peace!

RH levels are fine, ranging between 35 and 45%. 

I've got to say, something changed between today and yesterday.
Leaves have stopped falling, and the affected leaves don't feel like wilting on touch anymore. Instead, they're stiffer and harder on touch, and they're perking up again like nothing ever happened. 
The only thing i changed is that yesterday i added 0.25ML/LT Cal-Mag. 

I stopped feeding the Cal-Mag when people in the forum said it was already present in the biogrow and bloom powders, and that's when the N / Chlorine issue showed up. 

I'll see in the coming days how she goes with 0.5ML/LT Cal-Mag each feeding (except for Enhancer Feeding day).
If the plant stops her madness and leaves stop falling, i probably figured out what the real Deficiency here is: either Magnesium or Manganese.
If she doesn't.. I'll just pray Jah to help me reach Harvest day.


Cheers!

i just chek the picture of your  canopy your leaf look very happy even no one tipe burning nothing your tent is full of bud you gone be happy with harvest dudde 😁

You gone stress your plant if look to much to perfection if your boss is to much in your back you be stressed to if every thing is in the biofeeding its your soil  need to work not adding chimical or maybe the dose of biofeeding is not enought i think with allmix its not simpel biofeeding

I need to apologize to the whole community, i've made a mistake.

Wednesday isn't the start of week 4, it's the start of week 5. 
Raised an eyebrow when i saw the correct date on my schedule, i skipped one week. 
Guess i should smoke less.

Since the issue is not fading away, and is progressing (even if not as fast as before), i took these 3 days to carefully examine with JC chart at hand the fallen leaves, and compare them to deficiencies and such. 
It appears my plant is suffering from a combination of some micronutrients, such as molybdenum and manganese, plus (minus) Magnesium, Phosphorus and Potassium (which are quite a pain in the ass). 
So, 2+2 means that i should've sticked to the recommended dosages.

Luckily, it seems that the plant has reacted to that minor jolt of Cal-Mag-Micro, so that's something i'll keep feeding (apart from enhancer day).
Since she's also plausibly suffering from P and K deficiencies, i'll try to give her 0.5ml/lt of biobloom, just this time. 
If she reacts well, i'll feed it once every 2 waterings. If she looks like she can't take it anymore, i'll stop, and keep with the cal-mag.
I have no other fix to this issue: as i said, right now i'm in the midst of week 5. Adding powders now means a harsher and more chemical taste (if she survives the dosage), doing nothing means to see her consumed bit by bit, each day faster. 

This is the updated schedule:

29/05/18 CURE          
30/05/18 CURE          
31/05/18 TEST          

 

Note that i'm calculating 11 weeks, but i'm well aware she actually takes between 9 and 10 weeks to complete flowering. 
I added that extra week only to see how many days of margin i actually have before chopping her down.
Since White Rhino should be a heavy THC yielder, if i can, i'll try to get every last bit out of it.
If Highlander looks done at the end of week 9, i'll chop her down then. 

No regrets.


Until wednesday.. Peace!

Yes, it should also be remembered that during flowering, many genetics put their leaves yellow, they end up consuming them (PK).

Was chlorine really your initial problem? Have you noticed any improvement?

Start of week 6. Update time.


It seems i finally found the fix to the whole bunch of issues that i encountered in these last 2-3 weeks. 
In the last weeks, the first issue to show up was both a N deficiency and toxicity, at the same time.
Secondly, i thought it was caused by chlorine. When fixing chlorine, other deficiencies showed up, like the Magnesium and Manganese.
In the end, i thought it all was caused by my nutrient dosages, which were from half to 2/3rds the recommended dosages.


What changed?
During last feeding, i realized (while i was feeding the extra bio-bloom) that my water PH changes because of the release of limestone.
And then the thought hit me like a hammer on your testicles. 
When i flushed, i didn't change the water PH, nor i waited for both chlorine or limestone to evaporate/be released.
I just flushed.. And now i'm pretty convinced i've got an overabundance of limestone in my soil.
This overabundance changes Soil PH over time. 


So, to test it out, when i watered with the BioBloom, i measured runoff as soon as it got in the saucer, and it was 6.5.
But, knowing limestone needs time to release, i thought of this: water passes through surface, mixes with limestone present in the soil, runoff water comes mixed with limestone.
I let the water in the saucer sit for a couple of hours, and to my sad surpirse, when i measured it again, it was sitting at 7.2PH. Exactly what i was fearing.
6.5 -> 7.2, means the soil was at 7.9PH.


The day after the BioBloom feeding, i decided to perform a microflush, basically re-watered in 24Hrs, with water PH'ed at 5.4.
Runoff instantly measured 5.5, but upon waiting a couple of hours, PH was sitting at 6.2. Measured it again some hours later, no changes.
5.5 -> 6.2, means the soil was at 6.9PH.
4 hours after the microflush, the affected leaves perked up and regained their original dark-green/blueish colour (except the affected parts, of course).


Today's feeding happened at PH 6.0, while runoff measured 6.5 (after 1 hour).
I believe soil PH is still above 7, which is not good, but extremely better than around 8.
Next feedings are going to happen always in the range of 5.8-6.2. 
I refixed the schedule to No BioBloom, and Cal-Mag each 2 feedings, alternated with Enhancer:
Enhancer - None - Cal-Mag - None - Enhancer and so on.


Another good thing that i've seen is that the buds resumed fattening, which i didn't see in 10-14 days, due to the wrong soil PH.
Some of the pistils have started turning orange. 


But now, i guess a couple of pics is all we want to see. Enough good-vibez ramblings.

Just wanted to share the last pic out of curiosity. 
Interesting to see lower, exposed roots change their colour to light overtime.

I'll see in the coming days how the plant reacts to the lower soil PH, but i think that by stabilizing it everything should be back to normal.
Until next update.. Peace!


P.S.: i gotta say i'm pretty in love with the GHS powder feedings. 
A part from the fact they shipped a shit-ton of it for free, they work amazingly. 
I tried the nutrients on the tomatoes i planted in my greenhouse. They were dying, 20cm tall, yellow leaves, no fertilization. 
My dosage was a mere 10g BioGrow, 15g BioBloom, on an area of 120x60, and the tomatoes came back from the dead.
In 3 weeks, they are 1.5mt, flowering, not a sign of yellowing whatsoever. 
Big Up to GHS!

To know the ph of your soil 

You can also take sample of soil mix it with distiledwater and mesure with a ph pen i have a littel plastic container of 100ml i get it with my ph testor here for soil is 5 part water to 1 part soil 

On internet  they say  1 part water for 1 part soil  so i dont know wich is goed i try one time the 1.5 p water to 1p soil you need to take out the perlite out of your substrat sample to test

I should have a bunch of these plastic containers around the place!
I knew that being a crazy hoarder would've saved me in the future.. heheheh

I'll search for it and test it out. If i can't find it, i'll try with a normal cup, or glass or something.
Cool to know the ratios. 
As for distilled water, again i should have it around but i'm not entirely sure.

Yea i show you the picture for the formule you can use a simpel cup  its just need the good proportion of water to substrat in book of my testeur i have a lot of formule but its in german i speak goed dutch but anderstand nothing german just 2-3 word if you no goed see the last formule on the cup is 1.5 part water  to 1 part substrat its the international methode i forgot the name of that formule search on the net sorry

Start of week 7. 
Day 102, aka Flowering Day 43.


It seems that i found the true issue behind all of the deficiencies.
Correcting Soil PH stopped abruptly the yellowing of leaves, consequently they stopped falling (even the affected ones).
I now understand what issues are present in my water: limestone and chlorine. 


Chlorine isn't that pain-in-the-ass as i previously thought, just letting the water sit for 48hrs removes it.
As for limestone, i'll need to figure out what to do. Yes, i can buy filters, but that requires additional planning to re-mineralize my water.
Same word goes for distilled water, i need to understand if it's worth using or not.


Anyway, pistils are getting orange day-by-day, and the buds have finally fattened a bit. 
A couple colas reach 4.5 cm in thickness. 


Next enhancer feeding, which is also the last one, is happening in a week (start of week 8).
From week 9, i'll slowly flush (first 1/2 Soil LT, then 2/3, then 1/1, then 2/1).
This is to ensure less stress in the root zone, less chance of rotting/mold, and to gradually release salts and build-ups.


I guess it's Pic-time now.

I hope so, man! 
Nugs don't look too fat (for the moment), but i'm very aware of their THC content. 
Might not be the best GPW grow out there, possibly one of the worst.. But i can't wait to taste this girl!
I'll just have to wait and see a bit more.. Counting the days.. 20.. 19.. ;)

Beginning week 8. Update time.

It's been quite a week.
Researching a bit, led me to very different opinions about defoliating in late flowering.
Majority goes for "it harms the plant, stunts growth, is useless, is going to taste like shit" etc etc.
Minority says that "it increases yields significantly, allows better ventilation, increases thc production" etc etc. 
Now, since majority of people actually have no clue about techniques such as manifolding, LST, supercropping -i can go on- i believe the majority have no clue on the topic either. 
My logic says that allowing light to reach lower buds, lower buds will grow more. Simple as that.
As defoliating works in VEG, it should work in Bloom too, if done correctly and not extremely.

So, i've decided to chop off 30% of the fan leaves, both in a healthy and unhealthy state.
I tried to chop off only the leaves that covered lower buds, and lower bud sites, other than the damaged leaves from PH issues.
This is the amount of leaves i chopped:
5ae0709b28ada_WR-1-20Defoliation.thumb.JPG.79cebbb88f007465ef4ac0e3da971dd1.JPG

 

Now, Highlander's canopy looks like this:
WR-1-20Canopy.thumb.JPG.ef57183860f71201bcca1bffe5dfd9c1.JPG

 

While Highlander's structure looks like this:
WR-1-20Structure.thumb.JPG.f4aea74e1c5152359f5ca622bcd4f245.JPG

 

Plant is a little tilted because of the net beneath her pot. I forgot to adjust it before taking the pic.

Now, some eyegasm.
Highlander's flower close-up:
WR-1-20Flower.thumb.JPG.c29dd17714e4257ab0db66bf7cabec96.JPG

 

By looking with a lens, trichomes are 30% orange, 20% amber, and the remaining is still clear.
Pistils are 70% orange, i'd say. 

I believe i'll harvest Highlander mid-week 9, flushing 3 times before that.
Today i fed her with 1G/LT Enhancer, instead of 0.5G/LT. I'm going to start flushing in 3 days either way.

I'll see you all in 7 days or so.
Peace!

It will be interesting to see if the outbreaks farther from the light really improve. Personally I don't remove leaves in bloom, but it's always good to see what happens :)

It gets very interesting hehe

Small update.

Noise reduction has been one of my main objectives throughout this grow journal.
I'm happy to announce i finally managed to lower the noise to the point i can sleep with it and not get disturbed by it.
I've been researching ways to soundproof both the duct and the extractor fans, as both vibrations and wind noise were too high for my poor ears (56 DB average at night).

By what i understood so far, getting a ventilation system soundproof is quite the fucking journey.
There are homemade ways (like egg cases, or styrofoam). There are professional ducts and extractor fans already soundproofed, but either doing a little job, or moving little air - or too much air, there doesn't seem to be a 100-180 m3 soundproof extractor fan anywhere on the planet -
And then there's me: an idiot with a lot of free time and little to zero money.

So, this is what i came up with:

And the internal part, the most crucial, as all the noise gets convoyed in the duct's exit:

This was quite hard to figure out and fit inside. Hard to find such a small rectangular box fitting the duct and enough space for both the foam and airflow, that doesn't take up too much space fucking with the plant's pot.

NOT shown in the post: out-take unit. The shown unit is the intake unit.



Results: With 30 euros, some recycled wood, a spliff here and there, i managed to reduce noise from 56DB to a decent 37DB. Without the duct exit cover, noise bumps at 47DB. 

Conclusion: a homemade, soundproof system would work ONLY if you were able to soundproof the tent itself. Soundproofing the ducts and engines helps, but relatively low. I've bought high quality soundproofing material (except for the duct exit as it wouldn't fit, i used some recycled leftovers), so other than this there really isn't much to do.

Hint: if you're looking for a soundproof system, build it yourself instead of buying it. It's easy, fun, and you can decide whatever shape that fits your needs. 
Of course, if you have a large OP, better seeking somebody expert ;)



I'll see you all in a couple of days.
Highlander seems to be ready for harvest, i'll wait until mid-week 9.
I thought i could push it a little more, but..
- Pistils are 80-90% orange, pretty much ready;
- Trichomes are 80% amber on sugar leaves, 40% amber on buds, a week should be enough to ripen them;
- Canopy leaves have just started to sloooowly yellow;
- Buds have thickened so much that the 3 round supporting wirings are finally tense, and the buds are starting to slowly bend the branches.

Peace!

Day 116, aka day 57 flowering.
Beginning week 9, update time.

Before the start of week 8, i proceeded with what i claimed to be the "last" defoliation before harvest.
Well, this defolation has worked out so perfectly i decided to do another one.
After defoliation, i've seen no stress. Instead, buds have thickened even more, as i was expecting.
So, i've decided to remove almost all the fan leaves covering the lower buds, leaving the ones not doing so.

Now, about the harvest date.
As of now, i've set the harvest date to May 12/13. 
Yet, i'm convinced i'll harvest her this saturday:
Pistils are 90% orange. Trichomes on leaves are 90% amber, while the ones on buds are 50% amber.
I believe that leaving her too much would cause production of CBN and deterioration of THC, other than the plant to be "medically" dead.

So.. This is the situation as i'm writing this.

I'll see you all in 2-3 days for, hopefully, harvest day!
Cheers!
