“Fall fade” or deficiency?

Day 51 flower

Ocean forest soil, top dressed with more ocean forest two weeks ago, ph tap water, Botanicare calmag every other watering at half dose and I’ve added big bloom once a few weeks back but have flushed since it seemed to burn, also add mykos WP every other watering

is this plant just nearing the end of its life and is that why I’m seeing the fade? The curled tips have me concerned

Looks like it probably faded a tad early, but it will be alright. Just pull it when it stops taking up water or when the yellow stars receding into the buds. Looks fairly close to done anyway.
Next time ditch the cal mag and use a complete nutrient during flower like dynagro.
Or if you want to water only, use a bigger pot and maybe a hotter mix.

Its potassium... notice yellowing running along serrated edges of leaf - often mimics n issue.

Flowers are a bit hungry for potassium ... you can either use a pk supplement or Kelp.

You mentioned you topdressed 2 weeks ago , you can top dress again snd ride it out til harvest.

beautiful girls btw.

thanks man, I’m pretty happy with it especially since it’s my first time ..any recommendation on a kelp supplement? Was looking at Neptune’s harvest just wasn’t sure which one to get

I asked you in your ocean forest thread about banana peel tea, I actually just applied about a 1/4 cup of a brew to my gallon of water today so hopefully that slows the fading down ..no idea if my dose was strong enough, would rather go lighter than too heavy at this point

update : gonna let it go as long as I can but as soon as I see the leaf curling about to hit the buds, she’s coming down ..definitely a little early yet but I’m over trying to keep this specific plant going, time for a fresh start as I’ve been dealing with this one since early April and it’s only like 2 ft tall
