Specimen: White widow Growth: Extremelyy slow (undetectable) Fertilizer: Foxfarms big bloom and grow big Method of growing: topped Problem: This plant is showing no signs of any vigorous growth. I topped it only 4 days ago and it continues to look exactly the same. Did i stunt it? Overfertilizer it? Overwater it? I cant figure this out. Is a 2 gallon soil medium too small for a 5 inch tall plant? Can you stunt a plants growth with organic fertilizer? Someone please help me. I hate to see a Dr chronic white widow seed get chopped down especially when its feminized. Is it possible for a plant to grow only to a certain height in veg as a predefined maximum genetically and than burst into action when put into flowering? Need help asap!
Just give it a week or so, if absolutly nothing send it into flowering and salvage what ever you get.
alot of the shoots are also a bright bright greenish almost yellow color and im only in veg. Is this a nitrogen deficiency?!? I noticed 2 littel holes in fan leaves on 2 separate plants and am certain that i dont have any insects. The area around the holes are trimmed yellow. Magnesium deficiency maybe. The area around the veins on the leaf are turning a yellowish color. The veins themselves are a purplish color. I think thats because of the phosphorus ive been feeding em. Before jumping to conclusions thinking that i have deficiencies, ive been fertilizing my ladies with the foxfarm line up and nitrozyme. So i dont see why Im coming across any troubles now You guys think its possibly time to transplant into a 5 gallon container?!
Yes N deficiency from what your explaining and all i can say without pictures. White Widow and all white strains grow very slowly and are one of the longest flowering plants 10-12 or 12-14 weeks compared to other strains which are 6-8 or 8-10 weeks. Transplanting is always a good idea. Definately white widow should not have any purple in it at all.. believe you need to post some pictures it could be magnesium def as well from your description... Suggest you stop using phosphorus and whatever else your using and get yourself some Schults Plant food Plus 10-10-10 and water with it every day until things turn around, sounds like your soil is lacking a whole lot.
ok i just re-read your post... 5 inch plant????? why are we giving a 5 inch plant nutrients in the first place???? Leave it in the pot you have it in 2 gallons is more than large enough... get the plant food i suggested and water with that only. Yes to much of any nutrients can stunt a plant very very badly, such as the use of Miricle Grow soil. Its definately over fertilized. you need to just water it from now on without using any fox farm products.. It will be a while until it catches itself again and starts to grow normally.
I tried to tell him not to use nutes. I am using fox farm soil and I just started using nutes when I switched it to 12/12. My white widows are 24-26 inches tall on day 41 (day 5 of flower) So I didn't use any nutes the first 5 weeks. Just water and light.
Correct thats teh right way to go about it... Its already a soil with nutrients in it, adding any more during veg stage is always a mistake, but some people insist they have to give nutrients.
PS Whodi, i visited your grow journal, your doing great. when i said WW Grows slow i meant flowering time, vegging grows just as fast as any other plant strain.
Is this a recoverable situation? I dont plan on giving it any more fertilizer for a while til it shows signs of needing it. At least 7 out of 8 of them pulled through with the fertilizing applications. I need to ease off the fertilizer. No more fertilizer til flowering. I didnt use Foxfarms ocean forest I am using happy frogs by foxfarms which i dont think is as nutritional hence, my application of fertz. Thanks a whole bunch guys. Ill get some pics up of the purple stemms and light green leaves on my other thread later today.
Yes just plain ph'd water and thats it, repotting into new pot with non nuted soil will also speed recovery.
