Was starting to lean for some reason so propped it up with the hygrometer.
0.5 tbsp per gallon of 444 nutes
1 tbsp per gal of Organic Black Strap Molasses in water
Growing. Seemed to have some deficiency issues toward the end of the week but I suspect it's more of a PH issue so I made sure to keep it up around 6.8 during the Friday watering with nutrients.
1.5 tbsp of 484
1.5 tbsp of elemental for the Cal/Mag
1 tbsp per gal of Organic Black Strap Molasses in water
I think I've got some ph issues with this one...def doesn't look like a normal fade...nor do I think it should be fading this early. oh well, it's only CBD...
Flushing. Something went wrong with this one...either a ph issue or nutrient imbalance...either way it looks like a sever potassium deficiency. Could have been locked out with too much nitrogen, or could have simply needed more and I missed the cry for help...
Update - it's likely this one is experiencing Potassium deficiencies due to excess Calcium and Magnesium. I've determined that I've been giving all 4 plants in this run too much Cal/Mag and it's expressing itself in different ways with each plant. Too much Cal/Mag locks out P and K, among other micro nutrients, but the K deficiency is the most obvious symptom here.
Chopped her down at the end of this week. Gave her 24hrs of darkness prior. Heading out on vacation for a week so hopefully drying conditions stay stable...
Jimbo, do some things:
1) Check the Ph of your water mix 5 minutes after you make/mix it. Also check half way through water container you're using and re check the PH.
2) If PH is good, then water until runoff, with roughly 0.1-0.2 gallons and use a tds/ppm meter and check the run off. This will tell you if the soil/nutes/ect are too hot and burning the plant.
3) If ph is good, and run off is good, then add something with Nitrogen (2.0% or over) (0.5-1 tsp per gallon) along with some cal-mag (0.5 tsp per gallon)
Also, please be careful adding anything extra, as generally the recommended dose are too powerful. I would use half of whatever the bottle or package tells you to use.
If all else fails, take your plant to the sink and rinse 3-5x of water through the pot. If you have a 3g pot, run 9 gallons of water. 5g pot- 15-25 gallons. If you want to save time, flush with sink water for a good while and then near the end really dial in the PH with the last few gallons. It is a good possibility that you have a nutrient lock out and I would flush to fix this potential issue.
