Still seem to have a problem with nutes lockout as i have flushed on the 17th September and i thought the symptoms had come to a halt, they still seem to progress slowly and as i am 2/3 weeks away from harvest don´t really know what to do. Just wait if the live till then?

So finally got a ppm & ph digital meter. As the plants were getting worse i had to harvest early and did the slurry test on the leftover plants (4 days after harvest) Since the plants didn´t have to survive used the soil in the middle of the pot and let it soak for 24 hours. Did the test on 2 plants and these were the results: plant 1: ppm; 145 & PH: 6.95 plant 2: ppm: 225 & PH 6.45 also did a 30 min slurry on a third plant: ppm: 230 & PH 6.25 For watering the plants i use tap water that i let stand for a few days to get rid of the chlorine. So i also tested the water that i had standing (7 days): ppm: 100 & PH 7.50 So hope this helps to find out the problem as i want to start a new grow with the same strain but a bit hesitant if i don´t know what caused this.

Hi there Ice-R, the good news is it's not a lockout, the bad news is you have K deficiency , this you can see from the coloful splotches on the leafs and the fact the symptoms get worse when there is less K available. just keep feeding them like you did before . The problem is there is some kind of "inertia" meaning the problems progress a fair bit after the fix is in , but so close to harvest you just gotta do what you had planned to do. IT wont be that bad a thing for your harvest, stay positive ! Hope this helps ! 🚀

Hi there! Do you have EC meter to determine the salinity of the run off water? If not you might just need to flush it more. People actually take the plant under a shower and flush with LOTS of water to really get most of it out and sometimes it's crazy how much salts can build up in the soil. So don't give up and flush her real good! If you want, go check my first diary and look how bad they started to look in the last weeks and still I managed to get decent harvest 👌
