@Hossgrows is right with the mag deficiency, 1/2-1tsp of Epsom salt will fix it. The green won’t come back but it’ll stop spreading.

I'm not seeing an iron issue in the images, only a possible magnesium issue. That could just be the plant sitting too close to the lights but if you want it to go away, back off the light and temporarily supplement with cal mag (epsom and gypsum work fine). I dont see any other signs of bad cation or lockout that would make it a bad move. Might appear a little pale coming in, but you don't have the classic "iron tops." You just have a fast growing plant and notice the chlorophyll fills in just fine when the leaves grow out.

I believe your supposed to be like 6.2- 6.5, if I'm right for your type of grow.
Still learning the intricate stuff myself. And if applicable to my way of growing.
Thank God for this place.!

Home recipe compost rich soil, 6.0-7.0 is considered a healthy range with a dialed in sweet spot around 6.1-6.4. Hydro healthy range is 5.5-6.5 with a sweet spot around 5.9-6.2.

For next winter I will have to premix some sulfur into my compost before I start a run. I figured with all the leaves,wood chips and fish remains it would be a bit more acidic. But it's sitting 7.5-8 . I guess 20+ years of decomp takes most of the acidity out. Even though it's added to yearly. Id love to look at this compost under a microscope and see the organic activity.

Good Day Freaky,
I have been silently following and I realise this may be some kind of experimental grow but just was not sure you understood that Hoss and Ninja (to my understanding) were suggesting your water going into your plants should be a PH of about 6.5 for proper nutrient uptake and should help to correct the soil PH. What PH is the water you are watering with?
Sorry if I am misunderstanding or stepping on any toes, just trying to help.

I use water from my 1/2 acre pond. Trying my best to utilize only organic including the water. I have not tested the ph of the water alone.

DAY 76
Flower-day 40
So after the first week of flower I gave her a TBSP of Epsom salt/1.5 gallon water. To help with the mag deficiency thats been an issue.
Its been a struggle session since. She went into lock out hard. Been doing my damnest to get a good flush on the soil. About 4 days ago on my last watering. I used 2 gal instead of the normal 1.5 and a tsp of sulfur hoping to bring the soil ph down a bit just trying to get her to come out of lock out.
Bud growth overall has stayed consistent with new growth daily and a nice dark green.
But man them fan leaves have been all over the place. Worried im going to loose too many fan leaves too early.

DAY 105
Coming to a close going to chop and hang this weekend. Definitely could have yielded more but for a stress grow im content. Next winter I will be doing more trimming before flower and cut down on the amount of colas. Quite a few lower bud points i could have gotten rid of on this plant but I was curious to see how it would turn out. A lower ph soil mixture is top of the list for next year, alot of nutrients left in the pot.

Happy 420!View attachment 2627781well, ended with a 4ozs 3grams definitely much less then what was possible. Going to play around with my compost mixture for next winter. Probably going to see if i can have my agronomist take some samples for me and get a full breakdown of soil biology and nutrients. Now for the outdoor season!
