Sep-9th - Day 49
We are in Blooming week 3.
Have a few little problems because the leaves looks not in deep green since a few days, and all turns a little bit to yellow.
This concerns to all leaves: the old leaves at the bottom and the new leaves at the top.
So it cannot be nutrient defencies, and it seems, that this is no nutrient overload.
My research showed, that this might be a magnesium defency, because of too low pH value with the water. This is exactly the problem i had with my last waterings - i used rainwater and after adding the fertilizers, the pH went down to 6 and 5.5 This is too low.
I will use tap water with next watering now, where the pH is higher and i can add fertilizers, without downing the pH too much.
Today i flushed the plant, just to correct the right pH-value in the soil.
When i have finished the flush, the EC value of the drain was 0.6, in opposite to the beginning of the flush, when it was 1.2.
The Buds are now growing noticeably, - after 1 week of rest and no growing since 1 week, it should now continue ๐๐
Smells pretty good too. Felt the right smell for the first time today.
I will do a little defoliation in the next days, and then the buds should hopefully grow fine and big ๐
======================
Sep-13th - Day 53
Doesn't look so good at the moment. Leaves all turn yellow - bottom and on the Top, new leaves at the top are partially affected too.
Flushed few days ago and did it again today, to get further up with the drain pH. Rinsed with tap water (pH 7.3). First pH-value of drain was still pH 5.2. Rinsed until the drain pH was up to 6.1. Finally, I rinsed with an light fertilizer solution (according to scheme of blooming week #3). Let's see if she recovers. I'm afraid that soil has been completely washed out now...
Today I did the last bit of defoliation.
The plant should now slowly calm down so that the buds can grow well for the remaining 5-8 weeks.
@Tango_Hotel_Charlie,
Yes i did add โcal/mag Xtraโ, 1-2 weeks ago, but than I stopped it. It downed my ph-value of the sprinkle-water too much, and it didnโt help. The leaves became more yellow.
In my past grows, i sometimes had the problem, that the plant became little bit yellow when the flowering started. With adding cal/mag Xtra i always could solve this problem. This time it didโnt help.
Have flushed again today with pure water and ph 7, just to be sure that ph-value of drain will rise.
I will see the next days, if it has helped. If it did not, it might be under-fertilization.
Otherwise, the buds are growing, so iโm not too scary. Hemp is so strong.๐
Thank you very much for the hint! ๐๐๐
