Noticing a wee bit of yellowing

dab farmer said:

I always pH my water to 6.0-6.5 before I do anything to it. The only nutrients I added to the soil when I mixed was 1/2c Bone Meal, 1/2c Blood Meal and 1/2 cup of the Guano. I have begun to bubble the blood meal in a gallon jug and will give it that on their next feeding.

Thank you so much for the links and the reading info. I appreciate it!

For reference here is what they looked like the day I began to flower them on the 15th.

Don't let Pollack Bug you!

I suspect your soil was not pH buffered quit well enough.

Your pHing at 6.0 is too low and I (if I have to or if I feel the need) never pH for soil under 6.7...
I'll bet your pH has slipped under 6.5 and/or stay's under it to long. That is where the N problem has come from.
N in soil is not readily absorbed or "up-taken" below 6.5 pH in soils. At 6.5 the up-take goes south REAL fast and even one tenth of a point less has a major impact on N....

Work a little Dolomite or Oyster shell into the surface, say a TBL and pH to no less then 6.7 - use the N "tea" once and wait 5-7 days for improvement before using again if need be!

I think this will fix you up just fine.

I don't think n look at pic 1 day be fore adding foxshit u od on p\k

Again, I appreciate everyone's input. Since posted the original thread I have watered the plants 1 time, with just straight water. Tonight the plants are ready for their next watering. So now I must decide if I am going to give them any nitrogen or if I am going to give them another plain watering. Since they do look better I am leaning toward the latter. My wet / dry cycle is around 3 days and I do not think they will deteriorate between now and then if I only give them water. I will add a small amount of dolomite as well. Plant #2 on the right looks much better than it did so that is hopeful.

The plant on the right has greened up nice because there's adequate nitrogen. what you did was create a conflict and poison the plants with too much phosphorus and perhaps potassium. Now that you've given just water, you have diluted the fert level to something more tolerable. I suspect that you could give nothing but water from here to the end and the plants would be just fine.

Wanted to give an update....... I decided just to water the plants. That is it. No ferts or anything other than plain ole water. No doubt though damage was done that could not be fixed. Not a complete loss though and a lot of lessons learned but its not over yet.

Both plants 1 & 2 are at 34 days of flower so they got a ways to go.

a transplant into a bigger pot with more of that soil would've been a good idea. If you plan on flowering for several more weeks, you might give a small dose of fert in water and just water after that.
