Story of my life. it seems like defifiancies appear over night during flower 😂 "come see how green my plants look" next day they all yellow 😂. Hit them with some Cal - mag and they should be fine. Those buds looking really nice man 👌

Hi Marz, thanks.

A little bit of looking back shows this plant is around 135 days old total. Was going to be a Mom but chose better looking plant & grew this one out. I am thinking that my added amendments Lime + 4-4-4 Dr. Earth has run its course...Trichs are still mostly clear so I have a bit to go on the GG4 cross, I added Kelp & lab on Tues, extra CalMag added yesterday. Not getting worse so I hope to have it doctored.

I was going to suggest a mild strength of synthetic to fix it but your method will also work, its basically what i did aswel in my garden but since its organic it takes awhile for the plant to realize "oh heres more food i can stop eating myself now"

Wow Sporty, I like the growing but how do you keep up with all of it? 4 plants, girls would be plenty for me, but I am new to the indoor grow. Thanks for the views. SS

Hi Fudge...the busiest grower on the farm

? for ya...what's your dosing for Silica?...1/2 strength, full? I have been using 1/2 strength all the way thru the grow. I bought the Agsil, just using up what I have then we'll mix er up!

My Hammerhead is dosed at 3.5ml/gal and is included in nute mix. Mix order 1. Silica 2. CalMag 3. Megacrop 4. Hammerhead. How much are you dosing? and what manner?

I am starting HH after 2 weeks in flower (from actual flower/bloom, not 12/12) and I am stopping as soon as pistils turn, then Str8 H2o w/ FFJ & LAB to finito...

I typed this out yesterday in response and forgot to hit post...sorry @Fudge

Honestly, the more plants I have the more I feel like I'm on my game, it's great until there's issues and that can be very trying. That said, what I do here is really not much compared to what some of these cats here have got on the go. Thanks for stopping by!

I'm sure its handled for now, I guess I'll just call it "fade" or "fall colors" til the finish...haha...you know...make it up as I go along 😉 😎

Only used the monkey nutes silica product mate, nd its not cheap so was looking at trying to make it, the hammer head I just use to replace my bottled pk, I use it at 1g per gallon of the dry mix for full strength, I usually start pk on week 3 too and I've had 2 ways of stopping, I've tapered it right down to 0 and chopped and stopped at turning then flush. I havnt decided which I prefer yet haha. And silica should be added last I thought? Then ph it to desired level

I dose, a then calmag then any organics, then my pk, then b and last silica. Then I ph if needed. I only dose this way because the pk was precipitating out and sometimes turning white when I added it. Doing it this way seems to have sorted it

It matters, the order of nutrients and stirring every Ml. dose. I do Cal/mag, flowering nute, pk, pH down usually. Works for me, Order matters & stirring between Ml. dosage.
I add a 1st as I read it on a thread here somewhere, every nute line seems to have their own order when I've looked. Here's another way different to mine and urs mate, this is silica 1st

Going to introduce silica in my next grow aswel. seems to have a lot of benefits
I noticed a difference in nutrient uptake immediately when I first started it, enough so that I continued. I don't see the results like I first did but its in the mix and it does work.

Going by what @Aqua Man & BillFarthing said to do...sometimes I have precipitate but I attribute that to too cold water (winter) and not waiting long enough between adding next component when mixing...
