The start of a new week, and all is not well in the tents.
The first girl is doing fine in her little tent, but the second girl is doing worse day by day.
Yesterday, I only saw the yellowing of leaves, but today I see necrotic spots developing.
I gave her some Biobizz CalMag that I had standing around, but it looks more like a potassium deficiency.
I just applied a topdressing eight days ago, so she should have plenty of food, but I ordered some organic nutrients to see if those can improve her mood.
I don't know what is happening, but I reckon the root cause is that she is too big for her pot. I didn't really expect her to grow to this size, lol.

I have grown in living soil since I started growing, so I have minimal experience dealing with nutrient deficiencies.
With that in mind, the current problems with the second girl look more like natural senescence and less like a deficiency. It's a few weeks too early for her to start, but her faded colors look like senescence to me. I could be way off since I'm a bit clueless.
Just in case it is a deficiency, I have started feeding her Biobizz Calmag and Biocanna Flores.
I also started fermenting some bananas, which should provide a potassium boost once the fermentation is done next week.

I'm getting increasingly convinced that I'm dealing with senescence due to low light in the lower canopy. That said, I'm still feeding her and giving her calmag. Just in case...
I cleaned up around 25 fan leaves from the second girl's lower canopy.
I also found a few yellowing leaves in the first girl but much fever, which I suspect is due to a more even light distribution across the entire canopy.
The first girl smells absolutely outstanding! Almost all gas with black pepper in the background and a hint of citrus. These terps are right up my alley :)
The second girl isn't all that loud yet but has a definite citrus aroma so far, and it will be exciting to see how she'll develop.

@MrGrowthSpurt, Thank you! The plants might look healthy now, but there were struggles in the first few weeks due to the top dressing I applied. Lessons learned!
@StarLorr, I hope so. I don't have much experience in dealing with nutrient issues, so I'm feeling a bit lost, to be honest. Oh well, it will be a learning experience ;)
Plants are simply too happy in your tents, they don't want to stop growing.
I never knew it's enough to put the mites in a sachet and hang them on the plant π³ how do they get out?
@kohlrabi, They are so happy that I'm considering playing death metal to them. That should mellow them out.
There's a small hole in each sachet, and the mites will venture out over a period of time.
