Hang in there Burritomann
It helps to remember Ruderalis evolved in harsh conditions in the far north. Long periods without light, water, etc are tollerated better than photoperiod strains.
Beating yourself up doesnāt make things better. Ripping the plants out will lead to regret. You can have a grow hobby and not partakeā¦friends and family will be appreciative!
I canāt eat tomatoes but Iāve grown themā¦.
Donāt let it beat you up, if the plants look the same then they are probably fine and will bounce back, I would actually appreciate the journal more because it could teach us what happens in a situation like this. If all grow journals were perfect, we wouldnāt be learning much. My first auto journal here I grew som Mephistoreos and the plants were like six inches tall at harvest. I made a lot of mistakes, but thatās where learning happens. Hope youāre feeling better brother
Yeah thank you guys for the encouragement. I didnt rip them up. Came close to it. Idk whats wrong with me, ive been acting out real bad. plus i have a lot going on. I flooded my house by leaving the RO water on 4 days. Recent break up. Just a lot. Apologies for the misbehavior.
Thank you buddy but donāt forget to forgive yourself too, were all human and when we are hurting it makes regular things very hard, I suffer from severe depression and one thing I am always reminded of is that no matter how many shitty things happen, there are still things that are awesome out there. Sounds like youāve been thru a lot very recently and to be honest, that would take its toll on anybody. Be strong, and if shit ever sux really bad reach out, thatās what weāre all on this planet for, to help each other. I really hope you have a good day man. Just remember, try to stay productive and keep moving forward. Everything gets better I promise bro

Reach out!
We are good at supporting fellow members when life gets tough. Iāve been the grateful recipient many times.
What concentrations and forms of fulvic and salicylic acids, chitosan and iron did you use? How did you prepare it? Adding each individually, I had problems dissolving chitosan and salicylic acid.
Chitosan needs to be dissolved in vinegar so the acetic acid can protinate chitosan thus increasing its solubility in water. I dont remember how much fulvic acid i used.. it was quite a bit. Possibly 100mg in 1/3 liter water. Posssibly slightly more.
chitosan and salicyclic acid i shot for 200ppm. I think the fulvic qcid was significantly more, though I donāt recommend playing around like that, just stick to 200-350ppm
The iron came from āspray n growā micronutrient spray that im currently using at 2x concentration. And now that Iām looking into it more, itās got more than iron in it. Apparently, itās got a lot more micro nutrients in it 
idk these plant products dont list everything in them. But a website said 17 nutrients. Bottle says iron and zinc
Itās worth noting that I wouldnāt be using higher than recommended concentrations if I wasnāt so deep in flower and risking mold. Im spraying it super super light.
So normally itll be something like
200ppm chitosan
200ppm salicyclic qcid
Recommended amount of spray n grow
200-350ppm fulvic acid
Plants seem to like itā¦
Oh yeah i also scored the plant on the left which might explain why its more frosty. When we got to mid flower i lightly scratched each branch and wiped the scratch with salicyclic acid+chitosan. Idk if it makes a defference but just looking side by side there seems to be a difference.
Girsl are growing up! Still a ways to go. Plenty of clear trichromes and few amber
Considering that insect skeletons and the fruiting body of many fungis are made of chitin, the scratch treated with chitosal likely reinforced the danger signals.
Of course it still could be a phenotype. Of the 3 same strain plants I currently have, the shortest is significantly more frosty at the moment.
Dim my case, the taller plant is frostier. Thatās the one I scratched. I will likely scratch the other one today.
I started to change nutrients, but I screwed something up because m getting some burnt tips and yellowing on the smaller plant.
Pretty sure itās an issue with overdrive. I think I mightāve used too much. Even though the ec was .7. The ec is .550 now. and it should be balanced out.
I turned on my dehumidifier because the humidity is picking up here as winter ends. So the humidity is down to the 40ish to stress the plants a little more.
Overdrive is strong stuff. Itās easy to overdo pk supplements. After bigbud I give about a week without any pk boosters then replace it with overdrive for ~10 days. I donāt push the pk boosters much past this or I get diminished results.
Also: How old are the plants now? Is the yellowing just the normal fading of senescence as the plant switches gears?
I donāt think itās normal senescence because the one thatās yellowing is a week behind. And itās seemed to be a lighter feeder.
I pulled a nug and vaped it. I was comparing it to my last grow. This stuff is really frosty. Potent too. Definitely has grape smell to it. Has a distinct GMO smell to it when broken open. Its grape crush and grape crinkle by mephisto
This girl is so frosty. Definitely on par with the best top shelf Iāve ever come across. Iāve been keeping them as cold as possible, so theyāre getting real dark and purple. She has to be pushing past 30% THC. Iāve rarely come across anything so frosty. Awesome genetics from Mephisto
You were right, it was senescence. All her leaves are yellowing now and her Bud structure is actually much more developed even though sheās a week behind. Good call.
The # of weeks/days are guidelines for general planning. Phenos environment and so many other aspects are at play.
I think the craft breeders here try to be accurate but the many companies can over/understate and tell customers what they want to hear.
Itās not always possible but Iām happier when I can ignore the calendar and let the plants tell me.
Only way to do it! Some breeders are spot on but environmental variables rule the roost
