Started off the week with early signs of a magnesium deficiency and it only got worse as the week went on. Decided to flush her out on day 20 to see what's going on with the soil pH and PPM. The pH ended up being 5.3 on the first reading, and got it up to 5.5 after the rest of the flush. The PPM first read 1332, and got it down to 1113 by the end. Still a ways to go with the pH, but I know what I've been doing differently, and what I need to change, and that is MORE RUNOFF! I've been watering with practically no runoff throughout, so I definitely have a buildup of either my nutrients, or my pH down solution, or a mix of both. Will definitely be watering with more runoff going forward. I'm still growing with the mindset that I'm using a scrog net, like I did on my first grow, so I couldn't really take them out of the tent to flush, or give more runoff. Time to smarten up :D
If you run into issues into flowering that cause your sugar leaves to get crispy and discoloured, do you remove them? Or let them run their course and wait till harvest to trim them away?
Hi,
I would leave them on, personally.
As for what it may be,
I believe you're dealing with a significant calcium lockout caused by low ph. This will also lockout phosphorus, iron and zinc. Calcium can only be absorbed as Ca++ ions above a ph of 6.2, in soil. Maybe aim for a ph of 6.5-6.8.
Cheers,
