Leaves near bud sites turning lime green

Howdy

Ch9 TNT

Medium: Canna Coco
Nutes: Cana A-B, Rhizo. I haven't started on the Pk as yet due to this problem.
Indoor 400w HPS growing around week 5 into flowering.
I water and feed every 3rd day sometimes 4 as its winter atm.

Last weekend i had a bit of an accident in my grow tent - lucky i was home! Somehow my HPS light dislodge itself and fell on two of my girls, one being this one. Luckily i was home but this occurred overnight and i was into my 1st hour of light. I saved what i could but i lost the main crown and a fair bit of shade leaves and branches. I managed to save some of the outside branches as i was doing an LST grow with this one.

So for the last week the remaining bud sites have started to go lime green from the inside out. This is happening on all buds sites not just a few. What you see in these two pics are the same for all of the buds..including the tiny new ones.

Pictures supplied.





I have given her a light feed but maybe that was too much after her shock? Tonight i decided to flush her out and then give her some CYCO Dr Repair. It contains Nitrogen and Iron, was suggested to me by the hydro guy a while back.

So am i doing it right? After such a massive shock will the buds restore themselves or should i just give up? The leaves all look a healthy dark green but some of the fans leaves that were semi effected have started to drop.

I dont know what else to do, any help or suggestions would be appreciated!

Iron or Sulphur deficiency is my guess. [Edit: Though it sounds like you have fed with iron, which appears not to have helped) My reasoning?

- Must be immobile nutrient problem, since it is happening to new growth (so it isn't N,P, K, and probably isn't Mg)
- It's starting from the back, not the tip of the leaves.

Don't give up (although you must be doing something wrong, because those pics show very little bud growth for 5 weeks of flowering), nursing a sick plant is an invaluable learning experience for any grower.

EDIT: Ok...my final word would be to just feed them a little less than you were before and give them time. Apparently Iron deficiency symptoms like this can come on through shock, and if so will disappear by itself as long as iron is available (which it will be if you feed normally). This sounds exactly like your situation. Sit tight and they should recover....

It's been about 4 and a half tbh and the last week she has gone through major shock as she hasnt grown much at all. So give and take about 3 and half weeks.

So i should just keep feeding her the CYCO and none of the cana nutes? Or just feed her 1/4 nutes for the next week? I dont want to over feed so next feed would be Thurs or Friday.

Cheers for the help!

Oh and i lost the main cola which was fattening up nicely before the accident. So now i have the side branches which were also developing nice crowns.

I don't go in for these "repair" formulas. Just get back to your normal grow nutrients. You need to feed less, because your plant is in shock so is growing less. So just feed lightly until she picks up speed again...
