I can't tell what these leaf problems are, I've looked on several guides and it looks like it could be any of 5 things to me.
Here is 1 week ago:
I guessed at salt buildup so between those pictures and now I "flushed" with 90% nutrients to whatever runoff I could deal with, maybe 20% of input volume. They acted slumpy and over watered for a few days.
Here is today:
In the group photo, all the top growth looks like a lighter shade of green to me but might not show in the photo.
Here is what I suspect: I am following exactly the thread "Ballin on a budget" in the nutrients forum here. It is regular Jacks 321 + silica + fulvic. But I think these nutrients are meant for RO water and I am using tap water through a charcoal filter. I suspect it is getting too much of some chemical from the tap water plus additional Jacks.
In fact I see now that Jack's website has a fertilizer for cannabis specifically for tap water--which maybe I should have bought but didn't.
Relevant details:
In soil 3 gal pots indoors.
Under 300W LED, 60% power, light 16 inches away (I raised the light today)
75 def F and 55% humidity during the day, unknown at night (but cooler)
The latest pictures are about week 10 of veg. I'm ready to flip now.
Feed at 6.5-6.8 pH every time.
No way to tell EC or PPM of water, but I do have a municipal quality report.
The images are of bottom leaves -- but lately the tops look light and leathery to me.
Strain is Cherry Pie.
Come to think of it, this last week the leaves have looked curled, not pancake flat toward the light. Maybe raising the light will help.
What say you?
I'm a little disappointed because this fertilizer has given me bigger leaves and stronger stems than I'm used to, despite whatever imbalance and less than ideal environment.
