Over the last 10 days I was able to reduce the temps in my veg room and this allowed me to turn on the Bloom switch on my light and not have to worry about the temps being too high. I also noticed that she stopped reaching for the light, but started to tilt towards it.

Overall the plant is growing great, but I have to readjust my feed schedule for my next plant. I have been overfeeding in veg and it is shown in the darker fan leaves. I am not going to make any more changes this grow, but next plant I will keep PPMs much lower and reduce the cal-mag fed to the plants.

Good but tough week for her. I got a small thrips infestation in my veg room and it transferred over to the flower room. Luckily my Moby and OG Kush were already out of the tent with no signs of them. I went to move a plant into the flower tent and I noticed 1 leaf with some larva and a couple white spots on a few other leaves. I moved the plant back into the veg room and started to treat my veg room. I was going to defoliate anyways, so I went ahead and removed any infected leaves from the Blue Cheese. There were only 1 or 2 leaves, with a total of 10-15 total small larva on the plant. I treated the Blue cheese with Trifecta pest control. It is essential oils, soap, and isopropyl alcohol. It is certified safe to use by medical facilities here, so it has to be safe right..... I continued to spray the mix around my tent and entrances as well. On day 2 of the thrips I wiped down the plant with soap and water right before lights out. It has been 3 days since I first noticed the thrips and I haven't seen any today (I only saw 1 or 2 adults total). I improved my veg room so this won't happen again.. which I will go into more detail in my Ocean Grown Cookies Diary when I update that one haha. Twice a day I have been wiping down my tent and walls with a vinegar and water mix. Tomorrow I will wipe down the plant again, I don't want to use any of these oils any more than I have to especially since she is starting to bud up.

She is getting healthier and looking better each day. I plan to do a reservoir change tomorrow (F22). With that change I will decrease the PPMs a bit and supplement with a little more hydroplex.

@motaman311 Hi mate does look like classic potassium deficiency also could be lacking in calcium I would add some cal mag and a little extra potassium in your next feed Hope this helps

I saw some burning/oranging of some pistils on some of the buds. I don't know if it is progression from the potassium deficiency I believe I had, or burning from the light. There is some slight curling of the fan leaves and they are under, so its possible it is from the light. I only have it set at 175 watts and my temperatures have been really low, 72-75F at the canopy for the last couple weeks, but I raised my light anyways to 26".

Early update this week so I can get help with a grow question! All pics are from F40. I can't keep the PH stable for more than a couple hours and it has been this way for about 2.5 weeks now. I have had this issue before with other plants, but never to this extreme. I have to add water or PH up multiple times each day to keep her around the correct PH (above 5.7). I tried to set her at 6.0-6.1 each time add PH up. I don't like chasing the PH, but I can't let her sit at 5.2-5.4 every day, especially now that I am seeing deficiencies. It is probably an imbalance of nutrients as she feeds, but I couldn't figure out the puzzle of this plant and maybe someone else can help so the next one I grow I won't have this issue. I think it may have to due with hydroplex and phosphorus excess?? Thanks for your feedback!

My PH has been miserable to try and keep stable for this girl and now I see more leaf issues. What should I change, or should I have changed in my feed? Is there anything else I can do now to stop the spreading of what I believe to be a Calcium issue? Thanks!

When you mix your nutrients are you adding the armor si first and letting it sit for 15 minutes? This is what ghe says to do. The silica is unstable to begin with. I would try that and if there is not a change I would cut it out if your feeding schedule. You really dont need it. I run the maxi line of nutrients because it is the only thing I have found that runs stable. I can let it run for a week and it holds perfect.

So this girl has been battling low PH for most of flower. She loves to be at 4.7-4.9, but that wasn't working out so well. I calibrated my PH pen and it was off by .4, so that could have attributed to the PH drops, I never really got it above 5.7/5.8 for 2 weeks, so she couldn't feed well on the calcium. I picked up some solution so I can check my PH pens calibration daily. I used to check it every couple weeks, but that's not enough apparently. She looks better. The PH is a bit more stable now that I have it set at the right levels and I removed everything but cal-mag and the base feed. Not sure the stability is anything I did special, more likely it is running towards the end of flower, less nutrients.. she is feeding less, so the PH drops won't be as drastic.
