I got a white widow from seedsman at 54 days flower under a 400w hps in 5gals of fox farm ocean forest and its been looking like shit for a week or 2 now. I was fertilizing with some fox farm big bloom, never giving it more than 1 tsp/gal and giving it some blue planet liquid seaweed, also never more than 1 tsp/gal. My tap water comes out at about 7.1 - 7.2 and i was phing it to 6.5 to 6.8, but i stopped phing it all together since this got out of hand. At this point i cant tell if anything im doing is helping or not. The plant is like 5 months old and might be a bit potbound. I also was using a phlizon 1000w halfway through this grow before i switched to the hps. The situations a mess

What’s your humidity been? I had a run recently with similar pics and found it to be start of mold. That one lower site looks suspicious. Hopefully not but good luck

Its been pretty low, between 30-40%. The heat was getting up to about 82-83f before i moved the light up and pointed a fan on it. Now it hovers around 79-80f. I didnt think the heat would be a big issue but maybe it got burnt? Ive never had the light closer than 24 inches to the plant either so idk. Im still new to this.

I have a White Widow from seedsman as well, but I'm only in day 34 of flower. Maybe try giving a giant massive flush, then go in with a balanced feed. Growing in soil, I have found that a flush once at some point mid flower helps a lot. Likely from me overfeeding, but hey whatever works, I'm learning

Thanks for the input. Im under the impression that i threw the ph off in the soil by phing my water too low, in combination with overfeeding most likely. Ill flush this lady as soon as the soil is dry enough and see what happens over the next week. I took clones from her and they are now in flower as well for me to start fresh and try again.

I am having the yellowing as well, definitely N, forgot I hadn't flushed yet so did that, don't think I flushed enough though. Learned for next time, i'm going to ride the rest out. Post some pics when you harvest

Have you used your jewellers loop to check trichomes? (Amber level) You'd figure with WW you'd want a good 8-9 weeks of flower anyway, but you never know depending on genetics

I said fuck it and chopped her at 9 weeks, i flushed the shit out of her and then watered in some some dr earth all purpose dry fertilizer, a touch of liquid seaweed and a little molasses. The leaves continued to get shittier looking over the last week or so but the buds kept swelling up so i wasnt too concerned. The buds still have some curing to do but i jarred them up today and it was about 52 grams plus some larf i was smoking on while i was waiting, so overall im cool with it.

I have two more of the seedsman white widow plus 4 barneys farm blue cheese about a week into flower now. Ive heard a lot a negatives about barneys farm and i must say, the white widow is looking slighty better, but so far they all look good. Trying to keep it that way. Im trying to use more dry amendments and teas and focus more on the microbiology this time around and i can tell its definitely making a difference
