Leaf curling

[hally]

hmm,

i'm flushing the plants again for 24 hours

with water that's about 5.8ph in my hydro setup

 

tomorrow i pray it'll becover

 

ironic for me,

this is my 3rd crop and i still havn't had a good easy go yet,

first crop was ok but curing got mouled,

second crop didn't have enough light and air

so as you would imagine i really want this crop to go well

 

i shall report results tomorrow

[hally]

this is a photo of the sick plant 4 hours after i flushed it with my tap water

which has a ph of about 7.2... a very very silly thing to do

 

unfortunaly during the tap water flush i was a bit to rough

and the plant got beat up a lot, maybe it was the ph of the tap water or

maybe i didn't wait long enough after taking the plant

out off the hydro setup before i wet the leaves.

 

but anyway after i flushed it, i waited a while for it to dry

and then i put it back in the hypro setup

where the water is a ph of 5.8 and has no nutrient's in it beside

female hormone and the tips of the plant starting to pick up again,

let's hope for a mostly full recovery

phew.

IMO ph problems causing nitrogen deficiency, and some root problems maybe rot or scarids??

hope she picks up mate.

thanks for your help,

i reckon the problem would be a nut lock-out from

the ph problem... darn ph crap

anyways the tips are picking up, i've stopped watering

it for today and we'll see if it will recover or not

Yeah, I'd be thinking so. I hope your ladies pick up :yingyang

[hally]

ahhh

 

now my good plant is getting crook,

and the sick one doesn't look like it'll pickup enough

to get a good harvest from it.

 

and besides all that, because they where fine before

i added the female hormone i think that they are

both darn males grrrrr

 

do females have multiple bud glands form at the nodes?

or do they just have the one main gland bud to start with?

 

here's a photo of the plant that use to be my good one

i reckon i'll have to start another crop now.

 

:yingyang

[hally]

my other question is

how long does it take, on average for

the hairs of the female bud gland

to break the outside shell

and be visable to the human eye?

 

1day? 3days? or longer?

There is a link to a picture of some male flowers in my signature, Ferengi has a link to one in his signature too. It usually takes around two weeks after the start of the flowering cycle for the female flowers to start showing.

IMO.

 

this is a plant virus caused by dirty fucking insects (dont have to be harmful insects, any insects at all, maybe just general bad hygiene in grow)... and it is a uncurable slow death sentence, and starts from the leaves not the root system.. its got a dumb name I cant remember...

 

the way to tell is to try to bend the leaves into place, if they just weak and limp back down or stay straight, they prolly as others have diagnosed... if they point up into the air, and just swap the way the bent, like when you flip half a tennis ball inside out, then they got a vector virus imo... especially if they split easy when bent upwards... plants can stay alive for ages like that, but it spreads quick to other plants and stuffs growth...

 

If the feminising product was la femme, all I can say is good luck, I have heard 1000000 experiences of that shit turning plants hermies now.. a search here of la femme will show what i mean..
