lemon skunk proplems

The picture are down this thread a little ways


Here's my story. I have I ghsc x lemon skunk growing in soil using Humboldt notes. I'm using ro water and is pH between 6.3-6.5. When she was younger she got a little too close to the mh for a Couple of hours. I moved her asap and shortly after the tops started to curl down almost like an eagle claw. I assumed it was a little heat stress and thought it would fix its self up. She went into flower a week after that and stretched like crazy and all the leaves started to "eagle claw" from the top down. I flushed with ro phd water at 6.5, five gallons worth in a 5 gallon pot. I let her drain for a few hours and she went back into flower and waited till she dried up before.giving her any more water.

I assumed it was.to much nitrogen since the extreme stretching and curled leaves. And I've been scared to give her any moren nitrogen and just gave her p k for for the last two weeks. Now she showing sings on nitrogen diffetioncy by yellowing leaves.

If any one has any suggestions it would be greatly appreciated. I've searched and searched, hell I've been on Google for hours trying to find a decent answer.

I know I'm not over watering and heat isn't a issue the tempature is around 73° and average humidity is 35%.

I'll get pictures up as soon as possible. Thank you again RIU

RO water needs Cal/Mag!

Take a look at the leafs - determine need - check ph.

If memory serves me correctly though - if you're not using cal/mag thats a major factor. Also add your nutes then test the PH as RO water needs the buffer to test accurately.

Can always shift to tap water - probably heal in a week.

You should mix definitely veg nutes in with the flowering nutes for the first two or three weeks do to the low n in flowering nutes..

I run a DNA lemon skunk cut that i grew from seed years ago. It also does not like N and gets stretchy with too much N. When I grew her in hydro I think they liked 800ppm the entire flowering period anymore and they were pissed off. I run super soil now and get them done with water only with 25% ss in a 7 gal.

The cal mag I'm using is HN equilibrium 12% cal and 2% mag as well has many other of my nutes have mag in them as well.


The last two weeks of veg I give my girls heavy does of Verde 16-1-2. And through out the rest of flower I give both veg and bloom nutes.

Thanks for all the advice so far, I'm trying upload pictures from my phone to the mobile site. I just posted a question in support and hopefully they get back to me soon.

Any suggestions?

keep it simpler and use a more complete nute like floranova you would not need anything else.. Sounds and looks like over fertilization agravated by light burn.
Good that you flushed maybe do it again and then start over with very light doses the nitrogen is mobile and will move to other plant parts
the dose you gave them was probably excessive. 16-1-2 is way to hot for pot! The claw is hard to get rid of but you can still get great buds.

I'm bumping this again during the day. I would really like to knkw what is causing the clawing. She is so far behind in flower from the other girls that went in the same time. Those pictures were taken at a out week four of flower at this rate I'm feeling shes gonna have to flower for like 12 weeks. I have to shop her at 9 either way due to my schedule, hopefully the two clones I managed to get to root will work out better next time

Still looking for some information about this clawing and possibly what might fix it.
