Yep that's a natural response... Try to fix the issue. Often it leads to more problems and that's the part that sucks we try to do the right thing and our girls shit on us for lol. I was just talking about this in another thread. Calcium is passively taken up and with cold temps and over watering it drastically affects nutrient uptake. Since calcium is the most used nutrient it's usually the first to show deficiency. So it's not that your don't have enough it just the plant is not able to sufficiently take it up. My advice is let em dry out well... Wait till pots are alarmingly light then give em a 1/3-1/2 dose and see how they respond.Thank you - appreciate the honesty! I knew that there were so many issues with this batch. I may still be in trouble because I flushed and then fed 2 days later - so maybe I have added over water to the mix of issues! Will up the heat during the day - and at night they are not going below 69. I saw this as a Cal Mag deficiency but the Cal Mag additive hasn't seemed to improve the problem. Just want to get as much bud as I can and hope to do better next time.
My guess is you dropped your nitrogen too fast and that's what's causing the yellowing; I recommend you feed a balanced nutrient, or a complete nutrient like Mega crop and give it what it needs. I can't see the whole plant but I would give it 600-800 PPMView attachment 916304
OK - 4x4 tent - 4 600 led - organic soil (that seems like it has no nutrients - will use different dirt next grow) 5 gallon pots. I'm about 4 weeks into bloom. The leaves actually look lighter then this shows. Strain p cookie
From the beginning I have had trouble with yellow leaves. I was feeding botanicare grow and went into their bloom product and added cal mag but they just seem to be getting worse. Why isn't the cal mag working? I'm going by the bottle and giving them a teaspoon per 1 1/2 gal. Was this not enough?
I flushed yesterday to prepare to start over. So do you let the plants dry out after flush - or go ahead and change nuits? I have some foxfarms and of course the cal mag.
What would you all suggest? I was just planning to switch to fox farms. Do I go by their feed schedule at 4 weeks bloom and keep adding the cal mag/ - and when do I do that after flushing.
Thanks for any advice! Lisa
Thanks guys for trying to help when I've really messed up. The runoff from the bottom was 7.0. (don't understand runoff - is this OK?) I've been pretty good about waiting until they are light to water. But might have hit them a couple of times more trying to fix this. I think that they are not getting the nutrients and that it's got to be lock out - that's why I flushed but I did feed 1/2 nuits 2 days later. Last grow bug problems this grow nuit problems - I'm trying to learn but boy I seem to be slow! Just saved a bird that hit the window - so I fixed something!
When did you "go into their Bloom product"? Was it as soon as you changed lighting cycle to 12/12?I was feeding botanicare grow and went into their bloom product and added cal mag but they just seem to be getting worse.

Good call.When did you "go into their Bloom product"? Was it as soon as you changed lighting cycle to 12/12?
Thanks, I only know because I was guilty of the same thing for a couple grows when I started growing again 4 years ago LOLGood call.
Herein lies your problem; plants need nitrogen through their entire growing cycle, particularly when you switch them into bloom which causes an acceleration of growth unmatched in the plants entire life cycleActually I think it was before - Bondanicare says to switch to Bloom in transition - so 2 weeks before I changed the lights.
They are just the regular black pots that roses come in at the nurseries - I wonder if the fabric pots would be better but it seems like they would make such a mess.What kind of five gallon pot, breathable cloth or a bucket? If the roots are stressed she cannibalizes the fans.
