I've fallen, and I can't get up! Pass the Medicine Man...😷

Here are Photos of the damage I described earlier in the thread.

The larger plants are the Medicine Man, and the smaller are my Black Widow which I popped about a week later.
I threw in a photo of my largest and healthiest Medicine Man. He/she/they did not suffer any stress, but I wanted to show them off anyways.

More to come.

edit: Sorry for the poor picture quality. I don't have propper lighting and am not using a macro lens. So, the close ups aren't very good.:confused:

I believe the D3500 does not have GPS.
It is easy to confirm if there is any info you do not want included. On the computer, right click the photo, select properties, click details, click remove properties and personal information. Another box pops up. Select remove the following properties from this file. Click select all. Click OK.
On your phone, make sure GPS is disabled and other settings re: personal info is not included or scrubbed. Make sure you are not using some cloud service to store data.
On your camera, go to settings to confirm GPS is disabled. By default most newer cameras include info on date, camera settings, etc. Again, pretty sure D3500 does not have GPS but not sure what metadata it includes with pic.
It is easiest to make these changes using a computer.

Photo Exif Editor is a decent app for stripping data

Give some oxygen to those roots!

i agree the more aerated fluffy soil where its impossible to overwater found is easiest to grow ganja, almost hydro-like aeroponic

Advice, taken. It's been a few days since I last watered. I'll wait another day or two.

If you can take them out carefully with lots of water to wash the soil away gently then add more perlite 50% to the soil you using now. water with 200ppm hydro a+b+ trace elements or similar equivalent.

The plants have throughly dried out since their last watering.
In fact, some of my other chemovars, not Medicine Man, were suffering from some serious wilting.
I gave them all a light watering this morning.

@Ken Abbis those photos are from about two weeks ago. Too late to transplant, plus, I haven't any spare perlite and zero funds until payday.

I think they are good now. Should start bouncing back any day. The Medicine man looks great at least. The Black Widow were really what suffered the most.

Honestly, 4 different chemovars, and the only one not showing signs of abuse are my crappy fems lol. Although, one was very wilted today, since I abstained from watering them with the rest.
 
Update, it appears that I may or may have not remembered to turn on the lights last time they got a drink of water. As such, they may or may not have been in total darkness for the last few days.... possibly, or most probably. 😅

Maybe better option letting the photones rip 24/7...just to be safe...

Hey Proud Kraut, thank you for stopping by. 😀 if it weren't for some issues I caused with my Black Widow, I'd consider going 24 hours of light.

I did move the Led down an inch or two. So they will get more light.

I made sure to water them with RO water and Kelp it Real, ph'd to 6.2.

I pulled away some dead and crispy leaves on the bottom. After handling the leaves, I could smell "something" on my fingertips.

Even though it is less developed and younger, the Super Silver Haze and Black Widow do have a more discernible aroma.

Now that the Black Widow is bouncing back and growing, I'll be slowely lowering the light and increasing the intensity.


I'll let you know in a few days how they do.

Thank you for the advice. I appreciate the help. I wouldn't want to stress out my gals and guys. 😅

Just noticed the mention of fungus gnats in this thread by Musashi solid advice there. The other thing I have noted that works for me is bottom watering, I use sprout trays, or similar and fill them with some water. In my experience, I notice the nasty little fungus gnats seem to stop hatching when using this watering method. As an added bonus I have not managed to over water my plants when bottom watering.
 
Sorry for no recent updates. Unfortunately, there have been no reason for an update... at least not a good one. The plants have been stalled out, for what feels like forever. Really, they are tiny, still look like a week or two seedlings.

I've been trying to carefully monitor the ph while watering, to water lightly and let it dry out as MUCH as poasible. (It looks like 3 of my fems I'm phenohunting are kicking the bucet after drying out) I've also moved them into a better tent under my better LED. I made sure to hook up the extraction fan and set it to low, incase it helps.


If they don't start to grow in the next week, I'll post photos of them and give the average temps, humidity, and VPD. If it comes to that, maybe you'll all notice what I'm clearly doing wrong.

I'm trying to stay positive that I'll figure out what they need to start growing. Bit it's difficult, I should be getting clones to throw into flower by this point.
Hoping I can save my Medicine.

@Proud Kraut @musashi and @pleased420 said roots looked a bit starved of oxygen. This was weeks ago, I've been watering once or twice, at most, a week but the plants continue to express stress.

I finally moved them into the better tent with the full spectrum LED, not blurple, and installed my exhuast fan.

It may be multiple problems adding to the issues. It is more than a bit frustrating. I never had issues like this with my first two grow. I had issues, for sure, but these are new problems for me.

I'm assuming different lights, sized containers, and possible humidity/temp differences are really messing with my grow. This is my first pheno hunt, and I'm no closer to taking clones than I was 2 months ago.

I can't afford to buy months worth of medicine. Not if I'm being fiscally responsible.
 
Take them out of the containers, feel the roots and the soil, you may notice something. I had some issues with overcompacted soil when using bagged compost...hard like brick after few weeks (only recognized after transplant)...just go in feel the plants and the soil. You will find the answer eventually...
