Week 6 was okay — more LST and defoliation to help with air flow, the bud sites and pistols continued to develop.
Noticed 2 or 3 gnats flying around on Day 38, so sprayed with PureCrop1 Organic pest formula and put up a few yellow sticky squares. Looks like it did the job as there's no sign of anything a few days later. However, the foliar spray left the smaller leaves curly and little gnarly, hopefully they'll straighten out again.
Watering with 0.5ml/L of BioBizz Grow and 1.5ml/L of Biobizz Bloom.
Do you think this looks like a nitrogen toxicity issue? Is it likely because I made a mistake using mainstream potting mix with slow release fertiliser in it? If so, will a flush or multiple flushes help, or should I transplant to better quality, organic soil? Thanks in advance!
Yeah looks like some nitrogen toxicity.. and if it was me personally, I would probably transplant into a higher quality organic soil or starter seed soil and feed nutrients manually.
If it’s something like miracle-gro, it’s gonna continue causing issues I’d think - especially growing an autoflower. I made the mistake of using miracle gro years back and it burned a photoperiod plant of mine, so imagine it will do worse to an autoflower which commonly requires less nutrients.
I’m really not sure that a flush will help.. that’s why I personally would be leaning towards a transplant. You may shock it a bit with the transplant. But otherwise if you have to flush more than a few times, you’re definitely stunting her and time is of the essence with autos.
Good luck!
