Over the last couple of weeks I have had quite a few leaves changing color and dropping. My pH seems to be in a normal range, and I don't think I'm having a nute deficiency of any type, as my well water is mineral rich. I suspect nutrient lock-out. Though I've done some flushing in the past, it has seldom involved more than 1-2 gal of water, which I think is probably a grossly insufficient volume. I am beginning week 8 of flower today, and so I should have some trichome activity--for these strains--very soon. Currently none of the trichomes are opaque.
Thank you, Jon. My son is doing an identical grow, though he is using the standard MH and HPS lights. I'm using LEC (CMH) for veg and flower. It will be interesting to see if the difference in lights makes a difference in yield for our identical clone sets.
First grows are exciting, but scary!
Your plants are quite healthy and look ready to yield well under those lights!
Let us know if you have any questions =)
