Lot's of growth this week from both girls! Mazar is properly in pre flower now, she's been stretching quite a bit and growing loads of new fan leaves as well as the first sign's of stigmas :D She has been worrying me the past 2 days though as shee looks a bit "tired", especially the new growth. I have ruled out PH, nute burn and temps. I was pretty sure she was under watered as her leaves felt very dry and thin so gave her a bigger watering yesterday, think I forgot to calculate for this when i turned up the light to full power as well as the fact she has trippled in size the past 2 weeks.
Cherry-Cola is just such a happy looking plant 😍 she's also starting to stretch nicely, she's also a puch paler shade of green than her sister. Also gave her a bigger drink yesterday than usual even though she isn't showing any signs of being under-watered I just don't want the same thing to happen again.
Mazar has been looking a bit tired the past 2 days and I originally put it down to being under watered as the leaves felt pretty dry and thin. Today though i found this yellowing on the edge of 2 leaves (I checked them all) could it be Mag deficency? Thanks everybody!
that's good you got your PH in check and even when feeding 1/2 the strength of recommended it can still cause to much of something sometimes.
Just from looking I still think it can use less N and its good to remember autos like to feed less then photoperiods do. It could also be that your soil has to much N in it as well then added on top of the other nutrients is stacking.
I would look into watering a bit less as that's what I am seeing from your leaves pointing downwards. it would also not be a bad idea to try and raise the lights a bit to see if it helps a bit. air pots have excellent drainage but soil can compact so its just a guess at this point. your temps look on point.
Good Luck!
To me, drooping clawing leaves could be sign of too much water. Some nutrient disssolve easier than another. And I also had magenesium issue. So, I add a spoon of Epsom salt to a gallon of water and molasses to feed plant root once a week.
I don't worry about pH. Most fertilizers are useful in wide range of pH. Two in particulars are troublesome. Iron is better at lower pH. More over, iron is an imobile nutrient. Feeding iron to soil won't hel[ much. Then, the easiest way for me is to spray iron sulfate to leaves every couple of weeks until flowering.
Another difficult nutrient is molydinum. Plants do not need much. So I found seaweed with molydinum content and spray those to my plant during veg as well. But I spray sea weed on different day than iron.
I try to be as organic as I can. And I feed my plants mainly with earth worm casting, molasses, seaweed, and compost tea. However, I do add Epsom salt and Iron Sulfate salt to help with defieciencies. I live in a "developing country" and get my fertilizer mostly straight from smaller farms at good cost. This may not be the case for most people.
So I've done a more comprehensive check of my pH to make sure everything is in order, the water I'm feeding her is 6.9, soil is 6.5 and run off is 6.8. I've been feeding only water for about 2 weeks now.... The only other thing I can think of is how it has got colder recently, doesn't make a huge amount of sense though cos it's still 24 degrees in the tent
