answered grow question 4y ago
Try a brand of feed higher in calcium, magnesium and potassium. Growing under LED lights tends to produce plants that are deficient in Cal-Mag

5th Week Flowering Plant dying!
What is going on here? Started off as a Calcium deficiency so I upped the Cal/Mag, but the problem only seems to be getting worse. It only has 2-3 weeks left so I don't want to do anything too drastic. Any advice is appreciated!

I have some date molasses which is 100% pure lying around the house, I am not worried about unwanted guest being attracted to it as my set up seems bug proof, as it has been throughout the entirety of this grow, would it be beneficial in any way if I were to add it in?

When to harvest? The pistil hairs are now starting to turn red(more so on 1) and Iโve begun looking at trichomes. More are cloudy than clear no real appearance of amber or red/brown in color. I have arbitrarily chosen day 80 as harvest because it falls on a weekend/no moon.

Scrog Defoliation during flowering - how hard to go?
I'm going into 4th week of flower, and I'm fairly sure they're done stretching now, and have filled the screen nicely. How much should I be defoliating at this point? Should I take just leaves, or also small budsites under the canopy? Critical xxl on left, OG Kush on the right.

Nitrogen toxicity? Deficiency? Something else? Stumped!
I don't get it. Is this N toxicity? Serrated upturned edges, clawing, slow growth. But how? FFHF 75% FFOF 25%. Just Cal-Mag water. No food. NLS in bottom 3rd of pot. Not wind burn. Not too hot/dry at all. N deficiency? Yellow leaves on first bottom two only. I'm stumped.

Seedling leaf color is very light green.
I'm wondering if there is any reason to be concerned with the lighter color leaves of one of my plants? They are significantly more "lime green" than the other two. he one in question is the bottom one in the picture attached. It is clear how much darker in color others are.

Defoliation In 1st Week?
I've been looking into defoliation as being beneficial to bud site development and outweighing the stress negatives. I'm doing one run of defoliation in this first week of flowering to test this as my plants are getting thick. Is this too much? Opinions on this? Refer to diary.

Correcting some things
My buddy is showing some deficiencies, might also indicate not right pH values. Should I wait for the soil to completely dry before correcting the pH or should I flush right away? Also why does it take 4 days for the soil to dry? I always make sure she drains every time.

Cut leaves off?
She is a auto. About 62 days in. Just started to show a few white hairs yesterday. Should I cut some leaves off and open her up for more light and air? Getting tight in my tent. If so, should I do it at night? In the morning or does it matter? Thanks.

Should I defoliate?
Do you think i should defoliate? There are really a lot of leaves for being 21 days old, and 3-4 of them are the size of a man's hand. She did not stretch too much till now, so there's a huge amount of leaves in a small space. I made LST these last 2 days, not going to top. Thx
