I am late this week because on the girls' 8 week birthday, they both started looking HORRIBLE, and I was scrambling for a couple days.
Looking back, documenting those moments is probably more helpful than just showing pictures of everything going smoothly.
I think it might have been a Zinc deficiency, but it all boiled down to poor nutrient, pH, and watering practices.
This is my first grow, so the more I learn the better!
New leaves were forming brown tips, growth was stunted overall, and the veins on the leaves were becoming very prominent and white. After a day or so, the tips and edges of leaves started to curl up or "taco".
So I flushed the plants for the first time.
One recovered really well in 24 hours while the other improved a bit, but was still looking sad. I ended up flushing her a second time the next day.
Soil for both plants is still pretty damp but should be flushed well, and once it completely dries out, I can amend my feeding practices and give them another ~week before flowering.
I'm going to cut the nutrient amounts in 1/2, only feed nutrients with every other watering, and also give the plants more water to allow the proper amount of run-off.
I guess this is very important in preventing a build up of nutrients in the soil.
Hey, you live and you learn!
Also started trying some super cropping because I want to try it all, haha.
