The plant is growing pretty well, but when flowering the leaves on my plants always start showing signs of some deficiency. This one has tips that look like nutrient burn and leaves on top that look like nitrogen deficiency. I use plain tap water so maybe I need to find a tool that is good at measuring water or soil ph.
Hey sparkle, it might be time to defoliate the big fan leaves…the plants tend to like this and it gives life to the new growth created during the stretch. Just a suggestion
@Sparkle_Party, thanks for the reply.
So what I’ve found best, and I’m sorry for not having the info readily available, is to remove all the big fan leaves at the end of week 3 of flower. Don’t worry they will all grow back. This gives the chance for light to reach all areas of the plant and that’s badly needed. It will only take a day to recover but the benefits are countless. Then periodically throughout the grow remove any large fan leaves that are blocking bud sites from getting direct full light. I hope this helps 😁
P.S. the plant will look bad after the initial defoliation but by the end of the week it will have unmatched health. Your a good grower so you’ll knock it out of the park!
@FrontRowAG_BrianG,
Thank you very much for the suggestion. I will need to read up on a good approach to defoliating so I don’t damage the plant. If you have any articles that you find useful I would really appreciate the information.
