Paki gold grown in soil with amendments. In a 3 gallon fabric pot. Water whenever she's dry, occasionally feed her teas made from flower girl or medi one.
Don't think she's over watered, but can't figure out this deficiency.
Any ideas?

Humidity? Temps? What’s your feed?

Temps are in low to mid 70s and humidity ranges from 53 -58. I don't have a good feeding schedule which is probably a big part of my problem but I give her medi 1, flower girl tea, and lotus bloom.
She was overrated at one point but I think she dried out.

Follow up : what’s your ec and ph at?
If you allow for super long dry backs you could be getting nutrient lock out from high ec in the soil. I would measure your ph & ec of run off & compare to what you’re putting in. Soil should regulate both a but but it has happened.

I don't measure ec yet. 2nd grow. I need to though. I do use ph water at roughly 6 and ph of run off varies from 7-8. I've been adding peat moss to lower soil ph, but it may not have been enough. Just curious if this is an nutrient deficiency or what. Thanks.

Is there any nitrogen at all in your feed? (the N from N-P-K) in my experience growing in soil I still need a bit of nitrogen through flower to keep the leaves from yellowing to early. The high ph of run off isn’t terrible, but not super ideal. In soil I like to run 6.3-6.5 ph in and getting just about the same out.

Tried and true simple method for my plants that works 100% of the time is always Cutting Edge Solutions. If you go by their soil feed chart you really don’t miss a step and it’s guaranteed results. A bit pricey but if you only have the one plant you might spend 75$ on nutrients to take you through flower.
