So there is a cal mag that I was using and all my feedings have been ,6.3-6.5 pH. Unfortunately I broke my soil tester so I can't tell for sure what the soil pH is at though. Maybe bump up a hair on the cal mag?Check your soils ph. She might have nute lockout. If you aren’t using a source of calcium and magnesium then calmag is a great supplement to add to your lineup.
My guess without knowing for sure is the soils ph has drifted down below the ideal range of 6.3-7.0. This happens a lot and locks out important nutrients the roots need to supply the plant. The nutrients might be present but if the ph is too low they won’t be taken up by the plant. So without knowing for sure that would be my guess.
Also calmag often times lowers the ph of the solution as it’s very acidic. So by bumping it up you may actually make matters worse. The main thing you need to do is figure out exactly what’s causing the lockout and fix that first. The soils ph will tell you a lot about where to look next.
That seems extremely logicaltransitioning from veg to flower is a balancing act. The goal is to have good vigorous growth during veg to set the size and structure of the plant heading into flowering. The balance is feeding enough during veg so that when you hit flower you can back off on N inputs and focus on the flower minerals that become needed more. The balance is to make enough N available so as to not create a N toxic situation so when you hit flower the plant has enough N stored so it can scavenge what little N it needs from whats stored in its leaves.
Yellowing and loss of lower and mid plant leaves is normal in flowering cannabis however from my house it looks like you may not have had enough N early on and as the plants hit flower and started building bud sites this lack of N is showing itself. Cause it looks like the yellowing is more advanced than it should be this early in flower.
Or as other have mentioned you need to get a better idea of what is happening in your rootzone, Ph wise.
In closing, once you know what your rootzone Ph is and if it isn't a nute lockout situation then by process of elimination you will know that on your next run you need to increase your N inputs during veg so that when your gurls hit flower mode they will have enough N stored in its tissues to get you to the finish line. And here is the balancing act I spoke of , don't get carried away and cause a nitrogen toxicity situation as this will stall your cycle and then you will have to deal with the consequences of reversing that issue.
Hope that made sense.
