Given that your feeding every week it might be to much?
Typically with dry amendments you only top dress once every 2.5-3 weeks with aorund 1-2tbsp per Gal of medium or aorund 8ml/L of medium.
If you are also not adjusting the PH of your water your asking for issues.
6.4-6.6 for coir based grows with dry amendments. If you go lower it will kill off soil microbes that break the fertilizer down and into feed for the plant.
You also do not want to be watering till runoff. that's stripping the soil of any nutrients the microbes just broke down.
Try adding in some beneficial microbes if the dr earth does not have any already in it. Also worm castings help with this as well.
Best Of Luck!
Definitely overfed the plant in veg which I believe lead to the super dark green, crunchy, and yellowing leaves as well as the pistils on my buds changing colors and curling up way too early.
Air exchange, pH, nutes, and water should be good. Could my 230 watt on 100% be too much for her? Does she need more humidity? What causes crispy leaves?
Hey Growmie,
After taking a look at your diary this could be the result of a few things, the first would be the ph, it's too low for the plant since it's flowering, at this stage of the plant's life you should try to shoot for a ph of 6.0-6.3. Another thing that can cause this is too many nutrients in the growing medium, I know you said you haven't gave it any nutrients but for some reason the plant is showing signs of too much nitrogen, when this happens the extra nitrogen burns the roots causing the fan leaves to become extremely dark green and crispy. Hopefully, this was helpful, and remember ... "Happy Growing" and "Free your mind one puff at a time".
So I overfed during veg and now my plant has nitrogen toxicity. Besides making leaves super dark, crunchy, and yellow it has also made my buds pistils curl and brown way too early. I’ve been flushing often with water. Is she a lost cause or should I ride it out for 4 more weeks?
Its worth saving, flushing is vital. Good job on getting onto it quick. Give her one final flush that 2X the volume of pot, so if its a 5 gallon pot, use 10 gallons of water, unless you have already done that or something similar, and then get back on the trace elements nutes ASAP. She also needs potassium badly. Basically half (50%) strength bloom/flower nutes with full strength trace elements mix, Cal mag will do if thats all u got, but a full trace element mix be better and more effective. And just feed her once a week with that combo for a few weeks.
A lot of amber trichs popping up on sugar leaves. This is the stage I (prematurely) harvested at in my last grow, although that was in week 11 and this is almost week 9. I should be able to harvest in no longer than 3 weeks right? Maybe sooner?
Hey pal, you start to count once stigma has started. I looked through y9ur diary, pistils/stigma started wk 4 right? So it's been flowering for 5 weeks. Most autos/fems flowering period is 45-65 days. It should say how many days you plant will be done, I know some say 9-11 wks from S/H but 45-55 days is in the range of what it should take since stigma/flowering started. So, yeah 2-3 wks pal 2 more with nutes, then if you are happy throw her into a flush but as not to cause a shock cut her feed a 1/3 espically the micro nutes. You wanna make sure you have all heavy metals flushed out completely, good luck pal.
So my buds feel kinda hard and crunchy compared to my last grow. Are they just dense? And should I prune all the dead leaves? (RH is steady @45, as well as temp @78)
If you got a bit over keen on the final nutes and she got a bit much P-K in the end this tends to happen, most bloom boosters claim "hardening" properties when its just causing the plant to dry up and become a lil crispy like this due to high doses of P-K. Its not ideal but nothing to worry about at all, as long as the sugar leaves are not burning and going crispy it doesnt matter. A bit of leaf burn in late late flower never changes anything either way. In hydro this was so common to see from everyone pouring on the boosters late flower it was almost normal here. Shes be right.
