Welp, we've done the classic "wait until the plant shows signs of deficiency and then feed dry amendments" move with the bubba (and also the grape diamonds). Seems I didn't feed early enough to prevent a potassium deficiency and now I'm paying the consequences. You can see the serrations yellow. New leafs are thin and weak. Spotting starting to show up now. Flipped her on day 56 and I don't plan on keeping her in veg to fix the deficiency. Pray for me fellas 🙏.
Fed her some kelp meal and now some langbeinite with compost tea. I don't think she is going to bounce back and I may just have to start again. I thought the preliminary feeding one week before flip would be sufficient enough to take her into flowering but I guess not. Next grow I'll definitely be adding full+ strength nutrients at around week 4 or 5 and then keep up with the feeding every 2 weeks after.
This is my second time trying out dry amendments over liquid nutrients and my first time doing it on a photoperiod so its to be expected that I make mistakes. Next grow I'll have to tweak my feeding to make sure we don't get any deficiencies.
@Gold1, Sure, exactly we learn everyday :) I must try organic myself. I thinking about biocanna, since it resembles regular hydro. Maybe this year is the year :)
Fingers crossed they will deliver some goodies nevertheless.
Good luck !
@Willy_Balls, Yes, this is my first attempt at growing photoperiods with nothing but organic dry amendment and teas. I seem to have misjudged when I should have fed dry amendments, and the plants went without potassium for 2 weeks or so.
The leaves are messed up due to an initial potassium deficiency as well as possible burning. I also see some signs of calmag deficiency.
That being said, they are still producing calyx and pistils. My other plant, the Grape Diamonds, is filling out better than the Bubba Kush. I don't expect them to be as dense or big as they would normally, but that is okay. You live and you learn right?
I've got another two plants in the veg tent ready to enter the flower tent once these girls are done.
Thanks for the cheers friend. :D
