What a difference a week can make lol. This was a terrible week for both plants. The Northern Light took a turn for the worst and started exhibiting late stage calcium deficiency. I flushed it and then about two days later the ZZ started exhibiting calcium deficiency on sugar leaves on a few bud sites. I flushed her as well. After the ZZ flush I fed the same day and let it dry out for 3 days. I sought help bc I wasn’t sure if the calcium deficiency would lead to bud rot on the dying leaves. I wasn’t sure if I should just flush it, ride it out since we’re so late in the grow or trim those leaves. I opted not to trim the leaves and flush it. Entering week 10, red hairs have started on both but the ZZ has more. I will be starting overdrive today and for the next two weeks before flushing for harvest. I learned a lot this week and the number 1 thing I learned is not to start a grow with shitty low ph soil, it will catch up to you! Things will be different next grow.
Thanks for all of the positive support! I need it lol every decision I make, I fear may be the wrong one. Getting into the crucial period of the plants I hope they don’t suffer too much.
