Yep add mollasis to the teas and bubble to wake up the bennies.... Bubbling time varies.. I've always follower the Heisenberg instructions but I've seen other recipes on here with varying brew times...
I'm admittedly no expert... I just know what's worked for me!
Good luck

@IndaVI Thanks again, I will def get on that as soon as I can, meanwhile can I foliar spray them with some of this Mother Earth Blended Natural Super Tea??

I also forgot to mention that I defoliated her about 2 weeks ago and she was doing incredible, buds started growing faster, and smaller buds were able to get more light thus growing bigger then before. I don't think that would have anything to do with this problem though I could be wrong... Once again thank u all for your help & input I appreciate yall:D

Even with reasonable temps this still happens if lights not penetrateing,are the plants crowded,?maybe give it a wee bit space and tryn get some light to the lowers,couldnt hurt,keep on growing, 76

GOODSTUFF!! So I redid the whole grow room & added an extra 3-4 ft. So she has plenty of space. It's only her(Blueberry Kush) & a 3 ft. tall Master Kush(which is looking superb I might add). Before the BBK was a bit bunched up against the wall, hopefully the extra space makes a huge difference. Thanks @william76 I appreciate u!!

Without seeing the plant in question, looks like a pretty classic K- to me. Also see some P- goin' on.

Also, regularly feeding molasses (or other sugars) is fine, as long as you don't overdo it. Your amount is a little bit on the high side IMO, but I can't see that being the cause of your issues.

Heat absolutely will cause yellowing of the lowers, and it can cause that to move up the plant. But as I posted above, looks like a pretty classic K- to me.

@Seamaiden thanks a million!! I started off with 1tspn of molasses then worked my way up to 2 then eventually up to 1tblsp. Should I drop it back to 1 tspn every other watering or only in teas as suggested? What do you recommend for boosting K & P? Thanks!

I like the lower dosing rates, and I save the sugars for when I want to force a fade.

I haven't seen the plant, and without knowing a whole lot more about how it's being grown, I hesitate to say push more P and K. It may just be a matter of tweaking the balance or adjusting pH, or even double checking VPD (vapor pressure deficit) parameters. Give us a bit more information on how it's being grown, show us the whole plant, and I'll feel more comfortable telling you to push more fertilizers.

Outside of that, kelp is good for K (and other schtuff) and I like bonemeal for P.

@Seamaiden THANKS A MILLION FOR YOUR HELP I TRULY APPRECIATE U:) As soon as I get home I'm going to take better pics. Quick question, what do you mean when you say "I save the sugars for when I force a fade." ? I will be checking ph today. I only use RO water about a gallon per watering/feeding. As far as the way she is being grown I know I posted it up there somewhere but I have them in 5 gallon Home Depot buckets with 1/4 in. Holes for drainage of excess. Medium is Fox Farms Ocean Forest Soil mixed with Fox Farms Light Warrior and Perlite & the bottom 2-3 inches of buckets is covered with hydroton for better drainage/oxygen. Been feeding every 2nd watering with GH Flora series minus grow. I'm using the Lucas Formula. I was giving her molasses every watering, started maybe about 2nd week of flower don't quite remember. I should start writing all my stuff down... Lol let me know if there is anything else I forgot to add

And yes I know she's very lanky... This is my first crack at it and I plan to be in it for the long haul... I started with Aeroponics using different strains but found it a bit difficult at first(had 10 strains only 2 survived the rookie experiment), got it down after more hours of research & hands on experience but it was too much work and I had very little time to do all that is required for that type of grow so I went soil thanks to many recommendations from fellow farmers both here and in my neck of the woods. I would have main-lined her and went the scrog route but I'm saving that for the next go around (still experimenting on a couple strains in veg and reading more). I did however fim her many times, plus I did defoliate her she was pretty bushy. Many fan leaves were blocking smaller buds so I decided to take a risk after I did countless hours of research I decided to dive in & defoliated her.... Worked like a charm:)

Ok so I just watered the BBK with 1 Gal. of RO water. I top dressed with Light Warrior(Don't have the FFOF at the moment) PPM's @720 & PH is @6.5. Temp when lights off is around 68 degrees & during lights on it's around 77 degrees.

I also see this in taller plants with poor light penatration especially above 5ft. I'm having this problem currently although not as severe but it only happens in summer on taller plants. Try better light and air penatration below the canopy before anything else is the easiest possible solution start there.

Why do you feed exactly one gal to em? Does that completely wet the medium? Also 720 PPM is pretty low for full blown flowering plants. I'd keep an eye on that for sure and look for def.'s. Why did you choose Light Warrior to mix with the OF? Light Warrior is really more for seedlings/clones as its a much lighter medium and doesn't have a lot of goodies in it. You might find it a lil more advantageous to use Happy Frog to mix with your OF instead. And yeah, journals def help keep to keep everything straight, plus you can go back at any time and see what you were doing, makes it a lot easier to find out what youre doing right/wrong. Good luck.

THANKS @jlr42024 I appreciate your help! I'm going to make some adjustments see if I can get more light penetration as well as better air flow. Though I will add this I think she gets pretty good coverage with the 600w & defoliation I gave her, but I will make some adjustments. Once again thanks much:)
