Hi Guys will post a pic shortly. Have to update the grow as we are actually heading into week 6. One of the white widows is a fair bit smaller than the other. And is showing some form of difficiency or nutrient burn. I think it may be due to to little phosphorus. Opinions?
the burnt tips are from overfeeding but looks like that's under control now. The rust spots on the leafs are from calcium deficiency and the burning on the edges of the leafs is from magnesium deficiency. Other magnesium symptoms are the yellowing happening at the level of the veins of the leafs. Basically what happened is the intense light schedule is sending the plants into overdrive so they simply need more magnesium and calcium (and a less intense light schedule like 14hours or 12 hours). if you're already feeding cal mag regularly, one thing you can do more is make a cal mag spray and spray the plants two times this week. just use like 1ml, 1.5ml/L for the spray and spray just before "sunrise" . the absorption through the leafs is much more than through the roots so it will help fix the situation quicker. Hope this helps ! 🚀
Plants started preflowering this week, still seeing rapid growth this week with some pistils popping out on each plant and increasing as the week went on.
Canopy really stretched this week, built a scrog to try get as much light penetration as possible. But she's still thick. So had to defoliate some more
Started the week showing some nutrient deficiency. But managed to sort it out by upping the bloom nutrients. Plants are stretching as the flowering cycle progresses, the small white Widow is still lagging behind while the larger Purple Glam Kush is showing some insane stretch already
All plants have finished their stretch. The smallest plant is still the smaller White Widow, but she seems to be packing on a lot of trichomes already. So hoping that even though she's small she will produce some solid nugs.
Thanks to my pH meter reaching the end of its life I ended up getting incorrect readings (this is with weekly calibration).
Saw the signs early enough to realise what was happening and managed to get a new Jenco Bluetooth pH meter the next day.
After calibration the solution tested at a pH of 4 😱. Managed to mix some new nutrient solution and 5.83 so hoping the plants will recover quickly.
@HydrokronicZA, yeah that's the phenotype thing : every plant is different but especially this one... sometimes even the smallest variations happen without you knowing, or even micro climates in the box that will impact one plant over another...
@CRiSPrGrow, thanks for the info. I thought it might be that there is some nutrient burn since it's only the smallest plant. I up the calmag and flowering nutrients today and reduced the grow nutrients. Also dropped the EC by 0.15 so gonna monitor and see what happens. I'm surprised that the one specific plant would have a calmag deficiency. As non of the others seem to have one. Hence the confusion if it was nutrient burn or deficiency. Because I gathered deficiency. But it's the smallest plant, so it made me lean to burn.
