Start of week 5 watered and fed her early today. 1/4 tsp of ff 6-4-4 and a half a tsp of Humboldts 0-7-5. I lowered the dimmer a touch to about 90%. I have no more height to raise the lights so I’m gonna have to dim it towards the end. I have one bud on the whole plant with a few hairs starting to turn. It’s starting to get real icey and it smells amazing. I’ll get some pics once the room heats up a little. I’ll get new dli readings also since I dimmed it. Thanks for checking it out.

I kind of want to trim some of the lower fan leaves and even some that are gonna be in the buds but don’t know if it’s a good idea at this point. Any insight is appreciated. I’ll probably just let it go how it is. But would love to cut down on some trimming come harvest time. If it will help I’ll do it but I can’t seam to find much info. If anyone can point me in the right direction I would appreciate it.

Seams like it’s taking longer to dry out. I watered yesterday afternoon and I’ll water again tomorrow afternoon if it seems dry. I found a spot on one of my leaves and idk what it’s from but I’ll be keeping a close eye on it. Very few hairs are starting to turn. And the smell is getting better each day. It had a cake like sweet smell to it and just today I got a hint of kush mixed in.

I watered yesterday afternoon and fed 1/2 tsp of 6-4-4 and half a tsp of 0-7-5 plus a tsp of epsome salt. Upper fan leaves are turning yellow which I hope was just me not feeding enough. I’m gonna change from feeding every few waterings to every other watering

Suspect the discoloration on the upper leaves may have something to do with light stress. Most signs of “hunger” show up on lower leaves first. ordinary deficiencies in np and k tend to show up on the lower/shaded leaves first, because they are mobile nutrients. If leaf deficiencies are showing up on the top of the plant, I would be looking at 1) deficiencies in immobile nutrients (like ca, doesn’t look to be an issue here imo), 2) something preventing uptake (like ph or nutrient buildup from overfeeding…maybe a possibility here), 3) vpd out of whack (could be), or 4) light intensity stressing the upper leaves (looks like a real possibility). If it were my grow, I would dim the lights a touch. Make sure cod is dialed in. Get a chart from google if needed. I would also slurry my media and make sure it’s not totally loaded with nutes or the ph is way out of range. If vpd and media are good, I would focus on the lighting. If the media looks problematic (ec/ppm of media is way higher than your feed), I would flush only if necessary but then adjust your feed. I would still raise the light to reduce stress and that could be part of the issue. Once you know the root zone is dialed and she is eating well, you can increase light intensity slowly. If she reacts negatively, you know that was also part of the problem. I’m sure others have other opinions and approaches, but this would be mine. Flowers are looking nice man. Good luck getting her over the finish line.

Thank you I’m at 30-35 dli on most of the plant. And the side that is showing yellowing is the side that’s closer to 35 so that is definitely a possibility. I can raise my lights like 4” but then I’m maxed out. I’ll do that today. I use well water that is pretty hard so I’m assuming I have calcium there. I don’t really check my ph of my water or feed but I can check my soil. Vpd should be good I don’t really know how to calculate it or what it should be but my leaf temp is 75-78 and humidity is around 52-56 daytime temp is around 82 degrees. Idk why I didn’t think about lighting. Probably because it’s been the same height for 3 weeks with no issues. I’ll check soil ph and move lights up. I can dim 1 light but the other is not dimmable. Is that ok or should I just raise both lights 4”? Thanks again for the help I appreciate it.

I might try the lights first and see if it helps and hold off on getting into the root zone. I generally try and adjust one thing
at a time if possible and it sounds like you’ve found a likely candidate for your issue.

So I just moved the lights to bring me to 15-20 dli. Only problem is I don’t have any way to adjust it now. Might have to add some zip ties to drop me down a little. I feel like I want to be around 25 dli. I am worried it could be a lockout or at least I was before I thought about the lights. But just in case the lights weren’t the issue. What should I do next? Flush it for a week then just start introducing flower nutes?

No harm in slurring your media and seeing what’s going on if anything. Can’t help you either get a head of a potential issue or at least give you peace of mind that what you’re doing is putting you on the right track.

So I moved the lights up yesterday and watered today with water and epsom salt. I’m really starting to get nervous because I just started noticing symptoms last week and it’s already getting worse. I’m gonna give a few days and wish for the best. I thought I started reducing the N too soon but I first started seeing yellow leaves towards the top first. So I really don’t know if it’s lacking N or if I need to flush. If anyone has any ideas I’d love to hear them. Thanks and the plant looks a little droopy because I was away yesterday and skipped a watering.

A cpl leaves that were down low that were tucked up into the canopy. Don’t know if this was the beginning of my problem or if they were just dying from being squished. But these are the only lower leaves turning yellow.

I always felt like I was feeding enough to give it slight tip burn but nothing bad at all just slight yellowing on the very tip of some leaves. I also don’t feed very often or on a strict schedule. Idk if any of this is useful but thought I would add it.

Watered and fed 1 tsp 6-4-4 and 3/4 tsp of 0-7-5 this morning. Leaves are still getting yellow but I’m hoping it’s a N deficiency. If it gets much worse I’m flushing the soil. Buds seem to be getting fat but not much noticeable growth. Like they never really filled in.

Also forgot to mention I cleaned my trey today. It was getting pretty nasty where I couldn’t reach.

Week 6 day4. So I’m now able to do a slurry test. Soil ph is 6.6 and ppms are at 600. I’m still very new to all this high tech stuff so I I guess I’m not in lockout I just need more nutes. I really didn’t see any lower fan leaves start turning till a few days after the top. I’m gonna lower my lights a little on Sunday I fed this evening with 1 tsp 6-4-4 and one tsp of 0-7-5 and tsp of epsome salts. Should I start feeding every watering? I only have probably 5-6 more waterings left till I flush her.

I also did a ppm test on my well water which was around 450 ppms and I have a filtered water system that was at 33 ppms. I’ve been watering with the 450 the entire grow.

Wk6 day7 Watered yesterday morning. fed 1 tsp 6-4-4 and 1 tsp 0-7-5 and 1 tsp of epsome salt this afternoon. She’s stil turning yellow but doesn’t look like any new leaves are turning. I start week 7 tomorrow so I only have one more week of feed. So I’m thinking it’s pointless to flush at this point. Temp 80 degrees and humidity is 48-52%. 68-72 night with 40% humidity.
