sooo it is day 38. since my water filter was saturated, and I fed some days with base EC of .8 , (meter defective and I had to wait for new water filter inserts) I thought it would be a good idea to use one watering Florakleen to dissolve the carbonates and then flush it with .5 nutrient dosage... result was a bad CA deficiency immediately. brown spots on leaves... and some yellowing. oh well... luckily those plants are bushes, so should be plenty of leaf surface left for finishing with a decent result.... I also removed some undergrowth, that was already dying from the plants sucking out P for the flowers... I am a chronic under- feeder. then I encountered spider mites... some slight webbing too. (see pic). only on one plant so far.. which is weird. as usual the predatory mites do not work that well.. I decided to not spray them down preventative with pyrethrum/oil, one week into flower (only slight pre flowers), instead I've ordered 2 times the predatory mite package. 50 bucks down the drain. i think the 1st box I've ordered, almost all mites were already dead due to hot weather shipping conditions... I applied californicus 2 times, and that other species that is known for fast killing of the mites once... did not work out that well so far.. more thrips also spotted.. same shit everytime.. I regret not spraying at the switch to flower. always the best idea, even without any visible infestation. next time I'll do a better job at this... prolly DWC too, 4 plants:) some random pictures for you guys... oh and I bought a power meter... had the lamp at 300W so now I now I dimmed the light just perfect.. now running at 320W. the last days were pretty chill, about 20 to 24 °C here, high humidity too. so that should help for the spider mites, I decided to get some isopropyl alcohol, and spray them at 10%ISO/h2o solution the next days. buds are still pretty small, and I guess that 10% alcohol in the solution should prevent the buds from gettingany fungus... I will spray in the morning during lights on, (dimmed down) and before the evening probably..not gonna let them be wet during night cycle.... still have to wait for that ISO though. so far still acceptable.

what do you guys think about the yellowing? now when I think back, I once did a grow on coco, which had also yellowish growth.. my soil mix is about 10% coco. ph about 6.4 ... I tend to underfeed my plants...

Honestly I think you have a perfect amount on nitrogen in your leaves. You don't want to be adding hardly any nitrogen. Mainly potassium and phosphorus. Your buds are about to swell. Nitrogen can hinder bud development. Yellowing across the top of a canopy is usually from light being too close but don't see anything to stress about right now. 🌱 good luck

do u guys think I should defoliate slightly? I mean can't change the fact that it is leafy aF, but I am kinda worried about leaves sweating on eachother, . thinking bout plucking some of the upper yellow leaves, got plenty healthy ones below.a few each day or so

Hi there, in my opinion if a leaf is not in the best of shape, like showing deficiency and the leaves below that look good then I would remove it to let light hit the better growth. Take a look from the top down and calculate what needs going before you remove it because its so easy to get caught up in defoliation and strip the plant before you know it.

hey, thanks for the input... I added N only one watering, when the lower leaves were falling off easily when moving the plants, but it was still during stretch phase in week 2. after that I hit them with a stronger P dose once, when flowers developed , lower N than recommended too. as for the N, I think the lower leaves falling off was also just due to lack of light below and maybe P def. not quite sure... some lower branches were turning purple/brown splotches, I think that could be also just cause these branches get no light though thus the plant feeding on them to provide for the budding.. right now I am just using NPK in line with GHE's schematic, I think about 13/16/20. just updated my fert scheme to the diary. still the yellow-greenish color of them bugs me a bit. I guess I am also just used to hps and DWC where they appear much more dark green during this period..
