Mephisto Genetics Chemdogging, Sour Livers, Fantasmo Express in RDWC

[Faction]

@Faction The fantasmo express 1 is showing signs of N toxicity you need to lower the Nitrogen.

Hi @Mañ'O'Green - I know she is suffering but it's a RDWC set-up and I'm already on very low nutrient levels (EC 0.8) for this stage in the grow. I don't want to adjust the levels for one plant when I have the other 8 doing very well. This is the problem with doing a multi-strain RDWC grow. Any suggestions?

Fuuk the one at the health of the others!

I have a single reservoir to feed six plants via drip and have had an issue with a single plant not liking the nutes every other plant was happy with. Fuuk it.

isolation. i would just say fuck it too why waste the time if the rest turned out ok.

I feel bad but she just has to put up with the nutrient as it is. Definitely stressed though and I think that is the reason she started flowering early - classic stress response. Just hope I don't get any male flowers appearing!

Then u get auto seeds right if there males? you can take two and makes seeds

You're right dude I would get auto seeds but male flowers on that Fantasmo Express will pollinate my entire grow!! Not cool. Any male flowers and she/he is out of the tent pronto.

hi pal i grow with autopots multi strains and it can be a right pain in the arse when 1 girl is playing up if it's bad i will take her off the res and top feed her a while but i only run 4 plants in your size tent well a 4x4 but as others have suggested i would be tempted to just leave her to see how she goes

There's always one! LOL
Ideally I'd have a stand-alone DWC bucket to put her in to recuperate but she's just going to have crack on in the RDWC. She's flowering very early so I'm not expecting much in terms of yield. I'm going to go with one strain next grow (Ripley's OG) just to avoid this kind of complication. Got the seeds today plus some ManBearAlienPig x Ripley's OG freebies (anyone grown this?). Can't wait to get them on the go. Thanks for following my grow friend.

DAY 25
Nutrient 1.0 EC, 21/22C, pH 6.2
Temperatures: Day 26C Night 22C RH 60%

The girls have bounced back from their pruning/defoliation 48 hours ago - always amazes me how they do this! The Fantasmo Express that is over-fertilised is well into the start of flower but all the rest are just entering pre-flower stage, as expected in week 4. I don't think she's going to yield much but at least the symptoms of too much Nitrogen are not getting worse.

View media item 19570CD5 - I've used LST on all the plants to try and position the branches evenly

View media item 19571Sour Livers - kind of weird structure!

DAY 27
Nutrient 0.9 EC, 21/22C, pH 5.9
Temperatures: Day 26C Night 22C RH 60%

Really quick update - only one new picture, really busy with work at the moment. The grow continues to be boringly stable and I just keep monitoring temperature and pH and EC. I have had to adjust pH a couple of times so far. My RDWC system is fed by an external 200L res so I have topped that up a once so far, with HydroBloom nutrients but the feed is still mainly HydroGrow (plus CalMag, Silicon, Katana Roots, MammothP and Hydroguard).

It's easy to spot the 3 non Chemdogging plants now in the following picture of the tent:
