Have got a Banana Punch (left) and a Blue Gelato (right) outdoors. The BG is doing great but the BP is looking a little sad and I cannot figure out what is up with it.
They are both being treated the same, which is making the issues with just one weird af!
All BioBizz products - litemix soil (ph 7), biogrow and bioheaven nutes (to EC1.0 and ph 6.5) and a good 6hrs direct sun. RO water with 1.5ml calmag per litre. Daytime temps 25-30C (77-86F). Watering wet to dry so donât think it is over/underwatering.
Have just done ph and calmagâed water only (no nutes) which perked her up for a day but today has gone back to her old waysâŚ
Was thinking it might be lockout but my numbers say otherwise. Also have some yellow spots appearing on the old leaves which may or may not be related. And the droopy leaves are not yellow or anything, just droopy and curling down. difficult to see clearly in the pics but that is the main issue, the leaves are all droopy and sad looking with some curling down and inward. Also, no detectable pests that i can see.
Any ideas what it might be? Am going to transplant into bigger pots next week see if that helps but would be good to get the issue resolved before that.
Seems I had green roots! A quick search says it could be either light exposure or algae. If it was algae they would be slimy though so my thoughts were âhow the hell could it be light if it was in a pot?!â
Lifting it up to the light though you could clearly see light penetrating through the plastic! Cheap ass pots grrr⌠anyway sheâs into her new home, hopefully this resolves things.
Just thought I would post as I have not seen this issue before.
Did you snap a photo of the roots? (If they turned green they were definitely exposed to some light pollution. (Paint them black)
When transplanting, did you see ample roots at the bottom?
==Maybe use your phone torch & check if the pot is leaking light ( Iâd switch off all the lights in the room, illuminate the pot from the side & check if itâs polluting.==
How to identify light pollution
This is only a âRule of thumbâ method. - *Place a book, newspaper article or any text inside the pot and illuminate the side. If you can read the text inside the pot, will be an indication of excessive light pollution *
I think cannabis threshold for light pollution is 10nmol/m²s
yeah i know, it took ages to figure out, tried everything lol. and even then was by accident as the only thing left to test was transplanting. as soon as i took it out the pot it was clear what the issue was. didnât take a snap sorry as was mid transplant, thought after i should have taken one but wasnât about to take them back out after pottingâŚ
anyway they are both a lot happier after a quick root prune and some mico. brb will grab a pic
Whatâs crackelackinâ Mr
Shweet!! Iâm stoked to hear the positive vibes!!
Youâre on point there sir! The Mycorrhizae will help immensely for those damaged roots⌠From my personal experiences, any droopy, clawing, or wilting leaves is due to rootzone problemsâŚ
Not too well to be honnest. The passing week had no scheduled outages but the winterâs going to be bleek!! We are expecting a colder winter than usual, as morning frost/dew has already started.
JOHANNESBURG â Eskom announced on Monday afternoon that it will implement stage 2 load shedding from 5 pm until 10 pm.
How many hours is Stage 4?
Stage 4: Will double the frequency of Stage 2, which means you will be scheduled for load-shedding 12 times over a four-day period for two hours at a time, or 12 times over an eight-day period for four hours at a time.
Itâs ridiculous, isnât it?? But oh well, weâll manage something! My indoorâs getting happier too, but the leaf damage is irreversible. So what Iâve done is prune only the leaf tips to get rid of most of the affected leaves. Instead of defoliating the entire canopy. They still absorb photons on the âPruned Leavesâ thus less stress for the plants to recover + open some lower budsites.
have you looked into battery systems? they charge when you have power then take over when it goes out. iâve seen people use a bunch of car batteries, or if you have the cash then you could look at ready built systems but they cost 5 figures plusâŚ
check this guy out, forget the solar if you dont want it but the battery systems would sort you right outâŚ
Thanks dude, I have been thinking of building a âInverter System with two batteriesâ, itâs just difficult for me financially at the moment. Theyâre also a bit pricy for a more powerful inverter. My lights alone running 900W, I have a 1000W/2000W heater that runs at night tooâŚ
For now I have to grid my teeth and do whatâs necessary. Donât fix nothing by stressing about it. Itâs totally beyond my control so!! Itâs awful. For me to âstressâ too much about it will only ruin my karma & vibes. Itâs like drinking poison and thinking/believing the person who wronged me will dieâŚ
