Sweet Mango Auto

Rough week for the sweet mango girl, big time progression in the brown spots. I think I misdiagnosed it as phosphorus so I got some beastie bloomz. I watered with beastie bloomz and forgot to pH balance it so it was super acidic, like 5.4 pH. The next night she had gotten significantly worse. Her leaves started yellowing pretty bad and there were more dark spots on the leaves along the veins. I found some calcium deficiency photos that looked exactly like what she has going on and it would make sense that she got worse after watering with such a low pH because that almost certainly locked out calcium from being taken up. I flushed the medium with higher pH water then finished off with a balanced nutrient solution so hopefully that resolves it, but I’m definitely going to be taking a hit in yield and quality. Just hoping she holds on long enough to finish out. I think she probably only has a few more weeks anyway. While she’s still loaded with white pistils the trichomes are already going cloudy. Hoping the beastie bloomz helps the buds bulk up a bit and make them more dense, but only time will tell. Between the two plants in the tent this was the one I was least excited about so I’m hoping catching this one will help keep the other one healthier.
