Day 57, buds all formed now, waiting for them to bulk. Smell has got stronger, particularly the chemdog. Some deficiencies creeping in on the bottom leaves, could be natural or maybe I shouldn’t have tapered off the Calmag. Back to 1ml of that now.
Day 62, got a lot of yellowing over night on both plants, right around the same time it happened with the Forgotton Cookies. May be natural as they head into their last few weeks, though it did coincide with me missing a days watering both times... Need to be vigilant during week 9 it seems. Checked the ph again and in was 6.1 with all biobizz added, which I adjusted to 6.5. Runoff measured at 6.6, so ph shouldn't be an issue. Removed some of the bottom badly damaged leaves, mostly from the Chemdog, which is also showing a Phosphorous deficiency. Zkittlez seems to be doing more of a natural fade.

Happy Growing !!! 🌱☘️🌴🍀🌿🌳
Great looking crop! I'm using the same light ... or at least close. A 135W QB from HLG. I noticed you said that you turned your light down near the end of the season. Why are you doing this? Not a technique I've heard of before, but it certainly seems to be working for you! Good luck with the rest of the grow.
@paulsgrows, late in life I run my light as close as 12-inches. When I first received the light I did some testing. HLG has a calculator that lets you convert LUX from cheap/free phone light meter. I also used the measurements from HLG and other sources. Our little board will put out nearly 1,000 PPFD at 12-inches and that is about the max for mature plants.
I don't know if too much light is the cause of large leaves yellowing late in life. I think that is mostly just the lifecycle of the plant. If the plant is no longer putting on new growth, other than buds, I think it will take all the light you can give it without overheating the plant. ✌️🤛
@BladeCutter, Thanks for that, yes same light! I just turned mine down as the plants were getting a lot of yellowing and I couldn't figure it out. So I turned down the light to try and stress them less and get them to the finish line. I always seem to have issues like this and can't tell if the light is too strong for them or if it's something else.
Congratulations on the new baby. She looks good at first. Choose a good variety. For a treat. Continue to do what you do and ask the growing ganja gods to protect your women until the growth is complete.
