Nitrogen Deficiency In Early Flower

[Minitiger]

@Minitiger sorry dude just realised I'm ruining your thread with random stories, I imagined I was in the 'chat shit' thread for a moment :D

It's cool, I like random stories haha. If you've ever come across any of my grow logs, you'll see that I have a habit of rambling on and on about shit that has nothing to do with whatever grow I'm documenting at the time.

And your boy that you met in Amsterdam was correct. Come on out to California and check out all the bomb-ass weed we have out here.

But back to the thread, I think I am gonna top-dress with a little fish meal tomorrow when I water with the ACT. I was just in there looking at them, all of them look like they could use a little N. if it means that they'll take a week or two longer to finish or that I'll have to cure them for an extra three weeks or a month before I can smoke them, so be it. But they really do look N deficient. I'll post some pics here tomorrow, after I water.

Okay, so I top-dressed with a little fish meal today and then watered with an ACT. Some of the plants only got a half-teaspoon of fish while the others got a full teaspoon. The Fuzz that's looking most N deficient got a teaspoon and a half. We'll see what happens. Here's a few pics of what I'm looking at.

Looks like a hard-core N deficiency to me, which I'd ordinarily be fine with if I was like seven weeks into flower. The fact that I'm not even a month in disturbed me. Let's see what that fish meal and AACT does.

And just for the fuck of it and because I know y'all like looking at purty pictures, I'm gonna throw in a couple of these:

That last pic is of a Tree of Life from Bodhi that was a serious Nitrogen hog. But I still like that pic. I like all of the pics I posted, actually haha. Except the first three. That do look like a serious N deficiency, right? Let's see what happens in the next few weeks. I think the fish meal and the AACT will really fix shit right up, but I hope that it doesn't affect finishing time or flavor once shit gets chopped. I'm not too worried about, but I am a little worried about it.

Btw, if y'all are curious, some of those pics are Bodhi's Prayer Tower. The dried nug shot is Bodhi's Mountain Temple that I ran my last grow. Such a good hybrid. I harvested three different phenos and I keep going,"Man, Mountain Temple #2 is my favorite...." Then, like a week later, I'm like,"Man, I really love the Mountain Temple #5; that one's definitely my favorite...." Then I'm like,"Dang, that Goji #7 I grew is my favorite for sure...." It's hard to decide which I like best and it changes pretty much every other day haha.

Not so much a deficiency more of a lockup of N.

Any idea how to "unlock" it? I had a feeling that the bottled water I was using was gonna maybe create some problems. I dunno if that's why the N is being locked out or not, but if you have any suggestions, I'm all ears.

Are you able to flush your medium?

Sure, yeah, of course. But I don't "feed" my plants. I may give them a sprouted seed tea or two here and there, but it's mostly just straight water. My soil's all good. I think it may have something to do with the fact that I had to use bottled spring and distilled water for a few weeks. So maybe hopefully things will fix themselves after a few waterings with my normal RO water? Maybe. Hopefully.

Yes. I've seen distilled water cause small issues that are definitely fixable.

Distilled may be lagging in some mineral that the plant can use. Your water is so clean the plant wants some dirty. May b calcium carbonate. I don't want to be quoted on that. Anyhow. Why no nutes? I don't use a lot of synthetic nutes myself, just a tad when things are a little less green. Even then I can do a tea and things grow great.
