Week 5 for my bubblegum princess and the worst week of this grow so far. Stressful week filled with every first time grower mistake made. I truely commited every growing sin there was. First error i made was to over water which i believe in turn lead to over feeding. And to top it off my ph tester was not calibrated properly and the water ph level was actually 8.2 and not the ph6.5 I believed I had feeding her. So as it goes i have over watered and caused her to be sad/stressed and droopy, then over fed causing nutrient burn on the leaves and most likely nutrient lock out. Also signs of calcium and magnesium deficiency have well and truly set in. Its been a heart breaking week. Was almost going to pull the plug and scrap the grow. But then if I was to give up, what would I learn. I guess the best way of learning how to do something is learning how not to do it. First time growing and I have to admit, having a first few great growing weeks had maybe made me over confident and that's when the mistakes began. I am not going to give up on her and I will see this grow through to the end and learn from it. To tackle all my problem's I first let her dry out for 3 days then I flushed her with ph adjusted water only (new ph pen properly calibrated). I removed the worst of the infected leaves and any others that have deteriorated as the week went on. When she was ready for more water I added in some biobizz cal-mag to try and get on top of her calcium and magnesium deficiency. Besides the signs of nutrient burn and the calcium and magnesium deficiencies she has showed some signs of recovery. I'm watching her closely and will never take her for granted again. I hope all this hasn't been to stressful on her and I can get her to harvest. Shout out to those how took the time to give me some much needed advise this week, was truly appreciated. Many thanks.

If you use biobizz products I got myself some Alg-a-mic recently after I Ballard up a feed and gave to much N. I also locked out roots on my widow and the Alg-a-mic helps with toxicity issues. As far as scrapping the grow I'm with you. We do this to learn as long as you learn from your mistakes then keep going. I do the same as what you described. All goes well get over confident and then mistakes happen. I started to keep a written journal also as I found if I write a process down I tend to understand it better. Never give up. Keep growing keep learning.🌿🌱👍🤘

@Theia, I had biobizz Alg-a-mic in the mix the past few feeds before disaster struck. Been focusing on the calcium and magnesium and i have over looked reintroducing it. Cheers for the input much appreciated, I will bring this back with the next watering.

@TheGourmetWeed, Thank you. I have a Sweet ZZ from RQS beside the bubblegum auto and the bubblegum is half the size after first week. I'm thinking the bubble gum is fussy about its environment and just being huffy.haha My humidity has been lower than needed at this stage.

Great shape bud. She looks tasty. Keep going. It's better to have underfed then over fed. Your caution is not a bad thing. 🌱👍

Also bud looking at your RH it's quite low for a flower room at 26c. Should be up around 40-45% for a VPD of around 1.4/1.5

I replied to your over-watering question and I confirm, IMHO you should consider lowering lights power a bit, like 85%.
