--Dear Everyone, I am sorry for Giving up on all of you. I have been focused on schooling, family, and improving my life. But anyways not focusing on that I have had a great time growing I have flipped to flower since 1/6/18. It has been many weeks without updating and I am back! 😋 I just ran into a phosphorus deficiency and it has been killing me. I trimmed off most of the fan leaves effected. My airflow is great, I just did a Foliage spray with Nectar for the Gods Bloom Khaos to help with the Phosphorus Deficiency and I added CaMg+ (P.S, I should have been using CaMg+ for my whole grow but I was being stubborn and not focusing fully on my plants. Even though this is my first grow I am happy that I haven't ran into much problems except for Fungus Gnats and this. Thank you for Supporting my grow when I haven't. Also I am completely root-bound and I've come to the point that I learned my lesson and next grow will be outdoors with 5-7 gallon pots and I will be focusing on Root Zone and improvement, but I don't think it is worth to Transplant because it will most likely damage the plant/stunt Growth.👊
Sorry to hear this brother hope you get back into the swing of things she doesn't look too bad see the main cola's have stretched alot but the rest of her looks well u might wanna remove the yellow dieing leaves hope things get better for you good luck
@biggreens420, Yes I believe so, I believe I have a Potassium Deficiency so Im planning on going to a hydroponic Store near me they are Masters at growing and I’ll get some advice from them also. But if you have any advice let me know
wow it's certainly been an interesting couple of weeks for this girl!
trying to tunnel through the lights, eh?
very good and vigorous early flower period!
Looks better without the dieing leaves do you have a fan circulating the air i can see the extractor but do u have a fan and i would say it's either calcium or phosphorus deficiency. calcium i would more point towards as the potassium deficiency starts from the outside of the leaf where as calcium or phosphorus start from the veins or middle
@biggreens420, I currently do not although I do have a Hyper Fan, which is exhausting the air or sucking air through and out. But I do not have a circulating air fan technically
On the first couple of pictures, looking at that miniaturized and droopy plant , I would say the dark green leaves are the first sign of a Mag def, I can't see the stems but if they start to turn purple it is definetly a Mag def due to too much light.
Adding more Mag won't solve the problem, there is plenty enough in that new soil, you shall back up your light before it start to get worst.
My guess at the bug/hole in leaf is fungus gnat. They'll live and breed in your soil if your top soil stays wet too long too often. I suggest yellow sticky trap/paper to identify what kind of pest you got. Also, I recommend not transplanting those from the solo cups until their root systems are 100% filling the cups or you might just end up stunting them further.
My opinion, is top those plants, wait a week, top them again, then send them to 12/12. I know newer growers can get squeamish about cutting the plant but it will only end up increasing yield at harvest if done right. You just need to cut the "neck" after the socket-starts wherever there is a branch / top terminus. I edited one of your pictures and hosted it in some dead space of one of my diaries to illustrate. https://growdiaries.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com/static/post/photo/3030/186267_prospecting-experiment-5customunknown-bag-seed-prospect-5_xl.jpg
@ProfoundWeedium, you're not wrong
his plant is very healthy and would stand a lot to gain by topping and training.
@npg123456789, best of luck, will follow your diary!
