First off: 186 watts of CFL in a rubbermaid container lined with reflective tape. I'm using FFOF soil with GH flora series nutes. Temps are 71-79 every day with night being coldest.
So about 20 days ago I noticed some clawing of my leaves.
8/11
This was when I switched to some pretty heavy nutes. I use the GH flora series and this watering fed with 2 teaspoons of grow/micro/bloom.
Now at this point the clawing has also started some yellowing.
8/13
I flushed with 3 gallons of tap water.
A few days later I watered again with RO distilled water treated with 2 teaspoons of epsom salt. All this time I have been using a digital meter (cheapo piece of shit) that said 6.7-6.9 pH for all of my water. I have since switched to strips which read about 2 points lower than my meter.
8/14
So it starts getting worse and at this point I am puzzled. I treat it like a nitrogen def and water with half strength bloom nutes/micro nutes.
Which doesnt seem to help. I flush again with 4 gallons of RO distilled water. pHed with my new strips at a 6.7.
8/17
The sugar leaves are starting to yellow which makes me really nervous. These are only on day 32 and definitely not finished so whats with this yellowing. I was hoping to at least stop it but it continues up the buds.
IF this is untreatable, what point should I harvest to at least make some hash or cure it into something smokable before it gets to far gone?? The latest row of pictures is from 8/17. It seems to just be working its way up the buds. However I have just moved from the rubbermaid to a 4x2 Secret Jardin. I'm hoping the increase in space and air flow will help but any comments/suggestions would be appreciated.
