Hey guys, I need some help with my plants, this is my first grow and they're on their 4th day of flower.
Just this morning while tucking one of the main stems (I topped a few weeks ago in veg), I split the joint in the middle, I'm worried that now they're in flower this may stunt them and maybe stop the stretch? I hope not. I zip-tied right underneath it so it won't split any further down, and the branches are sitting comfortably on the scrog net. Here's a photo.
I'm pretty worried about this but I'm not sure if I need to be, any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. However what I am even more worried about is the lower leaves, I think this is caused by a Magnesium deficiency, so they've been getting 5ml/gal CalMag with every watering and just last night I applied a foliar feed of 2 teaspoons of epsom salt per gallon of water about 15 minutes after lights out. This is happening on varying degrees to all four of my plants in the 4x4 tent. Here are a couple photos of the worst leaves.
They're being fed full strength Emerald Harvest nutes with a full dose of their CalMag at every watering, they're in 100% Canna Coco, in 5 gal fabric smart pots. I always pH the water after putting all their nutrients in, and always get it between 5.8 and 6.3, since these issues have shown up I have started pH'ing to above 6 always because I was told that is the pH that they best absorb Calcium and Magnesium. Their run-off is consistently lower than the water I put in, usually around 400 where as the nutrient mix is around 750. The pH in the root zone is consistently around 6 as well. They are under a 480W 3000K Quantum Board LED in a 4x4 tent, they're about 24 inches from the light and the light is dimmed to about 50%, I was also wondering when you guys think I should start increasing that to full strength.
Here's a pic of all of them today, quite happy with them so far for my first grow but I'm getting the nerves going into flower...
Any help would be much appreciated!!!!
