Overall Progress:
Everything is going according to plan.
Nutrient Management:
There was a slight issue with nitrogen levels being too high. A couple of leaves were lying on moist soil and showed slight damage, so I removed them as a precaution. The plants exhibited minor signs of nitrogen over-fertilization, with the lowest leaves turning too dark.
Adjustments Made:
I halved the nitrogen amount, which seems to have resolved the issue. The plants are responding well to the adjustment, and there are no further problems. The leaf color is normalizing.
Transplanting:
I transplanted the plants into their final pots—15-liter fabric pots, which I am using for the first time. The rooting process has been very successful. It was high time for transplanting. The excess nutrients appeared to slow growth for about two days, but after reducing the nutrient levels, growth resumed quickly.
Plant Response:
The plants seem to be enjoying the new setup, and I am satisfied with their progress.
Hey everyone, what do you think—do my plants have a phosphorus deficiency?
Two buds are turning a bit purple, and the lower leaves are easy to remove even though they are still green.
Photos are in my Grow diary.
Hello BussyBeeFarmer,
You got a nutrient lockout from nutrient salts builded up inside your soil. You give more then enough nutrients and everything the plant needs is there. But you need to water till 20% runoff to prevent nutrient salts building up and I would recommend to cut down your nutrients to 75% from whst you are giving now.
This should solve your problems and deficiencies buddy.
Happy Growing! 💚
Should I keep this deformed bud or cut it off? The humidity is high, and the sugar leaves are layered on top of each other. I'm a bit worried about potential mold. Any advice would be appreciated!
