20230513 - Day 64: Defoliated a few more lower, yellow fan leaves I missed last week.
20230514 - Day 65:
20230515 - Day 66: The buds are definitely starting to get a bit frosty. A lot of the remaining lower fan leaves are turning yellow now. Assuming this is a natural part of the process but I'll continue to monitor them. Added some cal-mag to the nutrient mix since everything I've read suggests this is a good idea. Nutrient water
20230516 - Day 67: Lots of additional yellowing fan leaves lower in the plant. I am now beginning to wonder whether or not this natural vs an indication that something may be off.
20230517 - Day 68: More yellowing and the upper bud sites seem to be fading. I think this may be an indication of a nitrogen deficiency likely caused by nutrient lockout. While I haven't been using a lot of additional nutrients during this process, I am otherwise struggling to come up with a rationale explanation. One area I have been failing to monitor is the pH of my feed and the run-off, so it could be possible I have an issue there. My solution... well for now I flushed her with a gallon of water. I'm hoping that if lockout is the issue then this will be my best bet to try to rectify. Will hold off on any additional feeding for now and will continue to monitor. FLUSH
20230518 - Day 69: Mixed up some super light nutrients with nitrogen last night and confirmed the pH was 6.5 this morning before giving her a bit. Will leave the soil to dry out before any further feeding and will continue to monitor.
20230519 - Day 70: She ended up dropping about a dozen of her lower fan leaves last night that succumbed to the nutrient lockout, but otherwise, it doesn't seem like she's been getting any worse, which is reassuring. I will continue to monitor her closely but am assuming a lot of the other leaves will fall shortly as well. Hopefully the bud sites remain healthy and robust and this whole incident will just result in a smaller yield rather than a total loss.
Entering week 5 of flowering on this photoperiod and she's experiencing wide-spread yellowing in leaves over past week. Haven't been monitoring pH or PPM, but am assuming this is nitrogen deficiency due to nutrient lockout. Can anyone confirm or recommend treatment beyond flush
When you go into bloom you dont cut you grow nutes out, you just tune it down some. A little nitrogen is still needed to maintain leaf health. Start out when first going into bloom with half bloom half veg nutes. Decrease the grow each feed after that. Around the 5th week mark is when you should be at no more grow and straight bloom and boosters.
Hi PawsGrow, I'm growing Herbies OG Kush. See my diary for progress. I'm in 3rd week of flower. Ocean is definitely too hot. I bought the frog but haven't use it yet because I'm still on my first grow too. Also when you start fertilizing, cut back on your nutes to 1/2 or less. Growers have indicated that I'm using too much by following the bottle directions.
@Natrona, Thanks for the information and advice! I'll check out your grow to see how things have gone for you so far and will keep an eye on how the flowering progresses. Hopefully topping with the Happy Frog will keep mine happy when they're young and will offer some buffer before they hit the Ocean.
@PawsGrow, it’s been a difficult plant to grow for me. Lots of leaf spotting, like calcium deficiency, but cal mag didn’t seem to help. Otherwise I would consider the buds pretty good, but I’ve had better. I’m getting ready to post more pics. I’m thinking 10 more days.
@Dexterado, Thanks for letting me know! Checked out your grow diary and she's looking pretty good right now to me, with my limited experience. Are you happy with the size of buds your plant managed to grow as you near the end?
@Drgreen13, Thank you kindly! I was trying to use what I had lying around and the dowels, electrical wiring and safety pins are proving to be quite versatile.
