Broke soil
Brrrr! It's cold down here! Maybe that's why she kept her hat on. Performed helmet removal Day 3. Using hand warmer under pot for warmth. Reduced tent space by adding large box - warmed up 3-4ยฐ. Added friends (bell flowers, spearmint and lavender).
Light 25% Intensity
Nice grow๐things seem to be going pretty well. Losing some of the lower leaves is pretty normal this far into flower, but yeah, as soon as you get those nutes you should feed her. Also, you could look into some natural source fertilizers in the meantime. Things like banana peel tea or fermented fruit juices etc.
@indoorontario, hey bud, I got nutes, it's a digital PH tester that I was waiting on. Thanks for the info though. I started my own compost so I plan to make an organic tea for the next grow.
hey man, isn't baking soda increasing the salts in the water?.I think with baking soda there is some ion-displacing goin on if you add it, but Iam not sure lol. the leaves look like phosphorus deficiency.. but in this stage I think it is normal for the plant to leach out some lower leaves it don't need anymore. not a sign to up your nutrients a lot. how high sits your LED? 100w should be perfect for that space.. I also think that maybe crosslighting causes yellowing a lot with LEDs.... other than that It is almost impossible in my experience to prevent a bit yellowing after 5 weeks of flower... some of it is natural I guess or at least doesn't really matter. looks good bro.
@Mud868, hey man, thanks for your thoughtful response. I only added 1tsp in a gallon and a half of water to try raising PH. I don't think I have used enough of any nutes to cause a lockout but my buddy said molasses can. I was thinking K deficiency or lightburn, maybe both. Decided to do a soil test, twice, and it came back good both times. So could be micros? My light is 16" and I thought I dimmed the intensity to 90% but I forgot to flip dimmer switch power button - duh! She was still at 100% for like 3 days before I realized my error. Dropped it for sure, so I will see how she looks in a day or two to make a decision what's going on. Either way, yeah, I am pretty far in to be making any major changes. Week 7 bayyyybeeeeeeee
