The curl started happening after you started adding extra fertilizer right? I’m thinking just a bit of salt build up. I’d go plain water to help em mellow out. Just my 2 cents on it.

Breaking out the test kit I've never used before to help get those pesky answers.

They're all right around 7. Banana Ice Cream #1, #2 (left), Banana Crack (right). BIC#1 = 7.1, BIC#2 = 7, BC = 6.8 (My guess according to how they matched the chart, but I'm green&red color blind pretty bad. Red more than green, so they're probably slightly lower than my read.)

Had to clean out the tubes to do NPK tests. Need to let them dry. Will do the tests on BIC#1 first.
Stupid f^ckin time limit bullsh*t f^cked this post up as I was trying to fix some bullsh*t forum bug that had a picture in the wrong place and wouldn't delete it.
Here are the test tubes and color chart as it was supposed to be...

I think I would read them the same as you.
I should probably do one before my next round, link?

The curl started happening when I didn't use enough water in conjunction with the fertiliser. I always water it in after I pour in a bucket with nutes. I barely watered it in last time because of the watering I'd already done the day before.
Damn sprayer. Hopefully the next one is a bit more reliable. The weather lately is really allowing for intense growth. It's crazy.My cheapie Hudson sprayer gave up the ghost today. Wasted 3 litres of diluted Azamax trying to make it work. Just won't hold a seal. Will pick one up from Kmart tomorrow morning after I flush and feed the girls.
Sorry, No Grow Log today. Too tired. Just walked in the garden earlier and was overwhelmed by the whole forest feel. Can no longer pass between the two plants to get into the middle without pushing branches out of the way. They took off again overnight.
I think this might be a key point. That may have contributed to a concentrated zone. pH is looking fine. Overall everything is looking good for the most part. It's hard to determine just how much food a big girl needs in a big bed of soil. Not hard to go a bit overboard. If anything smaller ratios of nutrient to water would be best because the bed is so huge compared to our smaller potted indoor grows. I think with the guano and everything you packed in the soil should be doing pretty good without very much addition. Look how far they have gone on mostly water! They are killing it. :cool: I'd just keep giving them nice big drenches with plain water as normal and see how they ride out. They are beauties.

Very true that transition period is probably the most demanding in terms of nutrition from my experience. If I recall correctly I believe sativa's are a bit more sensitive to N in general. They don't need a lot but just a consistent low supply for a while. Can't wait to see the flowers on these monsters. I'm a fan of FF Big Bloom. Strong enough to get the job done but gentle enough to not harm the ladies. :cool:I did a light watering after spraying Azamax. The next day I added the normal amount of nutes and did another light watering. I think it was the lack of dilution that caused the imbalance. Taking soil samples for NPK before I flush them in the morning. After the flush I'll take more samples for comparison.
It is possible that the clawing had nothing to do with how much or little nutes/water I gave them. They are in a full bloom that began at the same time they started to claw. It's not uncommon for plants to exhibit signs of nutrient excess/deficiency during the flower cycle and it can be counterproductive to try to restore the vigor they had during the veg cycle. My dilemma is how much deficiency is the right amount of deficiency to give them the best flowers. For instance, I don't know how much nitrogen Sativa need during their long flower cycle. My Kush I let run with very little last year. They had slight burnt tips and clawing but still produced potent 2ft+ colas. Their leaves were beautiful to the end. I wonder if they would have been better if I had backed off of the nitrogen even further and let the leaves burn.
I'll know for sure after harvest, lol.

Ran Sledge Hammer and Krazy Kelp this morning. Forgot a bag so didn't take a soil sample. Will probably buy a gallon of Fox Farm Big Bloom. It worked so well last year and I can use it in conjunction with Krazy Kelp, which is just a more powerful version of Big Bloom.

Not enough room to get good pics from inside the garden anymore. Some of the girls are over 9' tall and 6'-8' wide.
