If your in soil 6.0 is too low. Calcium is being restricted. A deficiency will occur. Get your ph to 6.5. In soil thats the sweet spot. Only after a couple good waterings at 6.5 decide if its a deficiency. I bet 2 good full soaking 6.5 waterings will get these babies revving up beautifully.
Ph sitting at 6.0 right now
And that's the supplement I added yesterday
A little help from the 420 crew please! This plant is about 5 days from harvest according to breeder specs. Tricks about 90%cloudy, 10% clear, no amber spotted as yet, so it might have longer. But, it's an auto and a fast one so anything could happen in 5 days! (Strain: Critical+ CBD auto, Dinafem)
Plant has been grown in about 5gal of soil in a fabric pot using organic potting mix and perlite with a distribution of osmocote plus (as per advice from @DocBud and reiterated by many across the forum). It got a big watering in the 24-48hours before the issue appeared.
Anyhow - this issue presented itself over the course of a day, yesterday in fact. The sugar leaves on couple of the colas are starting to fade to yellow.
I didn't notice anything yesterday morning when I photographed it, but last night just before lights out (I like to pop my head in and say goodnight - check everything is ok) I looked and noticed this on one of the lower colas. The photo is this morning. I did some quick reading and thought maybe sulphur or mag def, so gave it a very weak epsom salts drink. This morning I don't think it's any worse on the lower cola, but the apical cola is showing signs now too. Looking at a deficiency chart this morning it looks more like manganese def. If it is, what would I use to get manganese into the soil?
Lower cola (but the plant is laid prostrate so this 'lower cola' is sitting at about the same distance to light as the apical, and the others where there's no sign of this yet that I can tell):
and the apical cola, just starting to show the same issue:
The epsom dose I gave last night was half of a mix of 1ltr of water with 1/4teasp of Epsom salts, so it got about 500ml of that (1/8tsp ES).
The other thing that might be contributing to this, whatever it is, is that about halfway through the grow I filled the tray with perlite so I could water using a 'top down bottom up' approach as I was needing to lessen the physical effort of watering and I had to go away so thought the perlite would help with both of those concerns, which it did. I'm sharing that here as it may have been a mistake the has led to this - i.e., perhaps I've created a nasty root issue. There's no bad smell coming form the bottom of the pot, so maybe it's fine. Just trying to provide as much info as I can that will help!
This is a pic of the whole plant yesterday morning - before I notice anything. It's still very wet from it's watering the previous day.
Not sure if I should give it the rest of the ES water today...
All help appreciated!
Ya you'll get a international tracking number ive never used them but check your email. Thats standard practice
I have no idea how long customs would take, I have heard the horror stories. I just don't want it sneaking up and me not be home, don't wanna go to a federal building to get them.
I dont feel as though using fox farm by its schedule or any schedule for that matter is accurate. Its more of a guide line.I dont play with all that PPM and checking run off. Fox Farm by its schedule and get it 6.0-7.0 PH going in. And a bait fish
Usually if u reply on a thread it will sub u. I've never had auto sub just from browsing a thread.
Every oops is different. I had a couple that I saved with tape and a couple places that couldn't be saved. Try to save them first. If it's a lost cause then snip and move on.
