Week 5 (12/8-12/14)
Day 31 (12/9)
Fed her today. Bumped her up to about 75% strength (50% last go around), in half a gallon of RO water, then pH'd 6.5 .
Day 33 (12/11)
I got rid of some of her yellowed leaves. Other than that, just trying to keep the canopy even and letting her do her thing.
Day 35 (12/13)
I'm starting to worry about some spotting on her leaves. When she sprouted, her first two leaves had light tan spots, I thought it was just a thing. Now some of the big old fan leaves have the spots and they are seeming to grow. Looking online, it seems like a pH fluctuation issue. My only thought is that maybe I went too heavy on the dolomite lime when mixing up the soil to pot. Maybe when I give her nutes, it brings down the pH but the lime brings it back up, causing the fluctuation? Honestly, I have no idea. I was going to water her today (day 4 since last one), but her pot is still pretty heavy and I worry about overwatering. That and she is pretty small compared to my last plant, my only other grow, so she is probably not taking in nearly as much. I know it's a crapshoot, but I will try and test the runoff pH when I do water her. I'll water like normal, let her sit an hour or so, then give a little more and collect the runoff to test.
Day 36 (12/14)
I did the runoff pH test today. I know it's not really reliable but I gave it a try and followed a guide I found autoflower.net. I gave her RO water pH'd at 7 and gave her about 1/2 a gallon. I waited an hour until there was just a little runoff. I then placed a bowl under the pot and added another 1/8 gallon of water. I collected the runoff and tested it with the drops I have (no meter) and it came out the same as it went in. So idk. She's doing okay and the spots are really getting any worse so...
This color change started a few days ago with my new growth. Is this normal? Deficiency? Something to freak out about? It looks cool but I don’t know what is going on.
