Frustrated

[Farqual]

I have had Barney’s farm Critical Kush In my garden for a year I finally am done with it for good i am close to finishing the mother plant and it’s a year old with so many cuts it’s crazy but look at her it could be genetics but I have dropped 5 beans of it in my life nothing has ever been a problem I couldn’t fix with playing with food or environment or something that just had to hit her sweet spot what’s your run off at and ph going in?

In is a 6.2 and out is a 6.2. Normal ph for all my runs. She is looking great! I can’t wait for a harvest off of this one but I’m not expecting much from her.

I did an extreme flush with 3 gallons of ph water and let her dry out to a point that the weight of the plant was more than the pot and she tipped over then I hit her hard with bloom and calmag and a pk boost. The feeding was two days ago now and she still is sad looking. Her sister ( bean from same batch) looks a million times better and almost like a completely different strain... it’s amazing and quite frustrating that I can’t figure it out. It’s very possible that it’s just gens... ugh. Thanks for the input and I’ll keep tinkering and searching for info until it’s time for her to give up the goods.

..never assume-- my bad! I should have confirmed with you about any sort of dry-out, which in coco is bad news,... are you familiar with coco's odd CEC properties? Do you feed to 15-20% run-off, and never use water alone? ..dry coco does nasty things to pH, the relative conc of nutes dissolved in there, and tends for dry pockets that rehydrate poorly,.. hefting the pot can tell you if this is happening, even if the surface layer seems plenty moist,.. a wetting agent will fix this,... My concern is if the roots were damaged badly enough that now water and nute uptake are compromised some,...shock too!...

I don’t believe that it was dry enough to be harmful to the root system imo but never the less that very well could have been an issue. Today she seems alright. Leaves are starting to walk up and she is frosting now. I think I may have done plenty wrong in the beginning though. With this one I had given nutes the first week ( an extremely low dose) which I think stunted her greatly where as the other I didn’t feed until the fourth week. After doing a crap load of lurking here and forcing my self to assume normal action I would take with a photo and co off of the starter leaves for color. I also gave the first one bloom nutes two days after I saw preflower which in this case was a fault of my photo regime (must break that habit) where as the other I didn’t give bloom nutes until a good week after preflower and stretch had almost come full stop. It’s been a really challenge doing both types of plants at the same time ( also have a round of gorilla glue 4 and white widow photos on course) so much going on with building new cabinets and a room for the autos I’ve bounced to my regular sort of thinking with these. I could very well just be over thinking and stressing over something that isn’t all that bad but errors of my own. I’ll keep updates in my log if you care to stop in and check there. Thank you for the mind front on my issue. It’s much appreciated.
