Looking very green natty,Wowsersthey are really starting to put on the sugar now.. great work

Looking very nice. That Pandora may have a bit too much N, which could delay flowering and causing the leaves on the new growth to twist.

Now for having too much nitrogen in your growing mediums or soil. The plant will have like an overall DARK green look and have delayed maturity. Due to Nitrogen being involved in vegetative growth, to much nitrogen will result in tall plants with weak stems. New growth will be very lively and plant transpiration will be high, but not always. Nitrogen toxicity can be seen when there are very very dry conditions almost as if there was a drought, which may show a burning effect. If you give your plants ammonium based nutrients they may show NH4+ toxicity, which will show a smaller plant growth and lesions that occur on stems and roots, leaf margins that will roll downward. Also the big fan leaves will have “the claw” look. The tips will point down but the leaves will stay up as if when you bend your fingers downwards. Leaves can be twisted when growing… mainly new growths. Roots will be under developed along with the slowing of flowering. Yields will be decreased, because to much nitrogen in early stages of flowering slows down bud growth. Water uptake is slowing down from the vascular breakdown of the plants as well.

There's a party in there and it looks like all the sexy ladies showed up!! +rep natty, you're doing some brilliant work in there! :clap::clap:

Thank you my friends! Most of the credit though goes to AFN and in particular to Muddy, as Newton said: If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of giants..

Have a great weekend,

Hey Muddy,

Thanks as usual for the quick feedback.. You description seems to match my problem quite accurately. The only issue is that this is the only plant out of 16 with nutes issues.. even her twin sister, the other Pandora, is a bit slower than the other but doing great and sitting at least 5in taller than this one, with plenty of buds..

I checked all the nutes and I'm giving them Atazyme (NPK 0-0-6), Terramax (NPK 2-2-4) and Bloombastic (NPK 0-20-21), maybe I should suspend the Terramax for awhile? It doesn't seem that they're getting much N anymore..
I'm about to water them so I'll check very well the pH and post the results..

Have a great weekend,

I agree, that's not much N at all and I wouldn't expect it to cause a toxicity issue. You might want to try skipping it for a feeding or two and see if there's any difference. Are there any pistols anywhere on that Pandora? Can't see any in the picture. While nutrient needs can vary a lot from strain to strain, they can also vary from plant to plant of a given strain. I've got two of the same strain going right now and one can take 3/4 strength but the other showed signs of over feeding at 1/2 strength.

Hey Muddy,

do you mean skipping just the nutes or the watering altogether?

Also, could it be the cold? I'm having some trouble keeping the temp above 55-60 for a couple of hours early in the morning.. I tried the heater but it brakes the circuit after awhile (old, faulty electric grid), maybe I could try a heat blanket?

There are just a few pistols here and there, maybe 3 or 4 on the main nodes and a few tiny slim leaves that kind of look like fat green pistols as well.
Nothing compared to the others though..

Cheers,

Sorry, I should have been clearer, I meant skip the Terramax for a feeding or two. I don't think the cold temps would cause that. I've grown plants outdoors well into the fall when night time temps have gotten into the 30s and never experienced anything like that.

I said G-damm dude!! Where has this thread been hiding? Very nice!!

Hey Muddy,

the pandora seems to be picking up the pace.. Some more pistols have popped up in the last 48 hrs, hopefully it'll get back in line with the rest..

On the other hand two of the plants (which curiously enough are next to each other) are showing a few brown spots on the leaves (only on the side were they're touching each other..). I tried the self diagnose guide but I can't seem to figure it out, the only thing I can think off would be nute burn.. would you mind taking a look at the pics below? It doesn't seem really bad but it did spread quickly..

Other than that all is good in the mighty jungle, the ladies are getting plump!

Thanks as usual man,
