Wtf is goin on? Any ideas?

Primal420 · May 23, 2019

I'm soon to be approaching my 7th wk of flower on this Bubba K. These probs started a few wks ago and I haven't been able to figure it out. I know it's too late to care, but the info would be helpful for next time. 7 gallons of FFOF amended with Dr Earth flower girl for flower. Was a trash plant and never planned on keeping it, but I figured itd be a good learning experience. Plant was calmag'd and water ph'd

I'm thinking overfertilized (dark green up top) causing lockout of a mobile nutrient (problem on bottom leaves). In short overfertilized. My guess.

How much P did you feed?

What's the NPK of your nutes?

pH is off or to much nutes either way it's nutes lockout imo

Way to early to be having problems (I've done the same thing too not trying to talk shit) I would go half strength nutes for 2 feedings 1 at the low end of what you should pH 1 at the high end of what you should pH then plain water for a couple watering at medium ph. I'm in coco so my range would be 5.5-6.2 you are probably in a higher ph range being in soil.

Looks like a lockout to me - possibly caused by too much calmag - excess calcium locks out K, Mg and Mn - could also be salt buildup

3-9-4 .. Ran straight FFOF for 6 weeks prior and everything was great. Flipped to flower and added the recommended amount of flower nutes (Dr. Earth flower girl) and it was fine for about 2 weeks and then this stuff started to slowly appear. Reckon I should just flush the Hell out of it? I wont harvest much, but maybe it'll improve the taste?

I would flush it for sure - you might be able to salvage something off it

I wouldn't flush from what I see.

Your watering habits should be ruled out as a problem.
How often do you water and how much do you use each time.
If you are keeping the soil to wet (easy to do in a 7 gallon pot) it creates a low soil PH resulting in nutrient lock out.
If that is happening flushing is the last thing you would want to do.

Why flush anyway?
If I read correctly you only fed it the organic DR Earth and cal/mag.
Flushing or leaching is done to remove a salt build up from a soil.
There is no reason for there to be a salt build up in your soil IMO.

What kind of water are you using? Tap? RO?
What are the ppms or E/C of the water you are using?

Yeah it was a dinky runt that I planned to toss anyways. I left it in a solo too long and it became root bound, but it took off once transplanted. Althou

I water when the pot gets light. Usually every other day now in late flower. Around half a gallon or so. I use mostly Crystal Springs water which has nothing in it (I ph it), but sometimes I use tap that I've left out for a couple days with a bubbler. I always ph to around 6.5-6.8 and I calibrate my meter regularly. No idea on PPM or e/c. Dont have a meter for that

A TDS meter to measure PPM's or E/C is a good tool to have.
If your ppm's were high say 500 ppm's it would mean you have hard water.
It is also handy when you are adding bottled nutes or Epsom salt to water.
Here is a link if you want to learn more.

On the watering. I can't be sure if it's overwatered or not.
During the stretch in early flower they drink a lot, in late flower they require less but as long as you are waiting till they are light then IDK.
I have 5 gallon plastic pots with 4 1/2 gallons of soil and water them when they weigh 18 - 20 lbs. Any idea of what you think your 7 gallon pots weigh when light?
Just curious.

Wtf is goin on? Any ideas?
