I have 6 plants currently 5 weeks into flower I give them a line of botanicare cns17 base with their supplements also, the other 5 have been mostly happy but this one.. critical kush has been a critical pain in my ass, it’s been yellowing and now leaves are dying off and I’m not really sure where to turn with it, if any other info is needed let me know please

I’ve got one in veg/pre flower right now that did the same thing.Leaves look similar. Some kind of lockout??? i guess she was just a weaker specimen , shes a bruce banner 3 . All other plants are happy as can be(all different strains) and she looks like she may die. I flushed the shit out of her and am waiting to see if she comes back around. Good luck hope she pulls through

If it's not a lockout my guess would be Phosphorous or Potassium. Probably most likely Phosphorous. Or just a normal fade out. Not all strains age alike. But them leaves that look like they were left in the microwave.. again my guess is Phosphorous. If it's not a lockout. You'd have to check the pH of your soil to figure that one out. Seabird quano should be your ticket if your soil checks out. Half cup or less a pot. That quano is some strong shit so use sparingly. Happens to the best of us so don't trip to hard about it, might fall and hurt yourself. :)

My banner 3 did the same thing, my other strains were beautiful. I believe banner is sensitive to nutes compared to my other ladies.

Thank you for your response, I’m growing In promix hp all other plants read 6.7 on a soil ph this one reading 7.2. They get good feedings so I know she shouldn’t be hungry

maybe drop that 7.2 a little to match the rest at 6.7, like mentioned above, this Banner strain might be a finiky one. My brother n law hermied his Banner 6 months ago. Growing the same regimen as the other strains. Never got the reading of his soils pH. But you just might need that pH adjustment.

Yeah I’m not sure why the Medium ph is higher then the other plenty’s, they all receive the same water/same feed, should I flush it out?

Maybe. She's just not absorbing as much or has lesser needs compared to the rest of them. Is your medium 100% Coco? if it is, flushing should be an easy thing. Stuff drys pretty quick. I'm not the best one here to help you with that. Hopefully someone chimes in quick.

Each plant takes and uses nutrients at its own rates/needs.. Over time one plant can have a drastically different soil ph that another by simply having used a different ratio of nutrients.

Soil runoff ph is the most important thing in soil growing in my opinion. All the nutrients in the world are irrelevant if the plant can't have it. Glad to see you are monitoring it.. Shame that 7.2 wasn't brought to a 6.8(ish) a little sooner, but its an easy enough fix. The solution to pollution is dilution as they say.

They are coming into their 5th week of flower, I gave her a good flush tested ppm and ph in the run off, both were higher then I’d like so I pumped fresh water through and brought it down to the 6.8 range.. but with how far along they are I’m not sure if she will recover or make it to the cut date

Yeah ok boss, you obviously don't know the reasons as to when a plant foxtails like fuck...and it definitely has nothing to do with nutrients lol

And now she is taking up nitrogen etc from the leavesand having deficiencies to stack up that growth :clap:
