Hello friends. My plants are strain LSD. They are now in about week 12 since sprout and week 1 of flower. The yellowing and drying old growth, and yellow new leaf tips, have been a chronic problem. (I added dolomite garden lime, and not dolomitic lime to the soil, See here)
I water when the leaves droop which has only been about once a up until now. Going forward probably every 4 days. Each time I water a plant gets 1.5 gal, in 5 gal pot (soil). pH I estimate at 6.1 - 6.4 (varies).
A user suggested epsom salt and miracle gro fertilizer for acid loving plant. I only used them once at low concentration.
I use the fox farm trio for nutrients. To one gallon of water I add:
Big Bloom worm castings almost 3 tsp always,
Grow big veg fertilizer, 1 tsp tapering off,
Tiger blüm flowering fertilizer, 1/2 tsp first time last watering (tapering up).
Incredible, right? Sometimes I'll throw some Epson (R) salt crystals in there, but I'm a-scared to go overboard. I'll probably water tomorrow morning!
I suspect I have calcium or magnesium psychosis from the lime I added early on. The leaf stems have been purple for a while, I thought that was from LED lights. Now, in the pictures, I can see some of the main stems are getting red stripes.
Any suggestions on hOw2FiX? I pH with drops, I stand up to pee, and I don't have an EC meter. The plants get tap water. I am authorized to distribute up to $250 in my own personal scrip for the best suggestion. Thank you.
