Post-mortem: I was able to bend the main cola so that it fit under the light without being directly pressed against it. After a dry, I was able to collect a good 47 grams out of that plant and I am currently curing it. Unfortunately, the main cola got a bit of bud rot because it was not...

Looks like she pulled threw! Thanks! Now I have an issue with height because I did not expect it to grow this tall. This is why I have some lightburn and funky looking leafs on top. Also, why there are a couple 90 degrees bends in the stems. Any ideas when she will be ready?

I bought some flora grow as it was the only readily available one that I could order. I should get it in a couple of days. I should go 50% strength on the first feeding right?

Since i am in the great white north, my selection of fertilizers is limited. Everything I have seen in the big box stores is either miracle gro or scotts turf fertilizer. I will go to the plant store this weekend to see if I can score something better. Anyone got recommendations on something I...

I think it looks slightly better than just before I watered it. Here it is: Fertilizer details Guaranteed Minimum Analysis Total Nitrogen (N) 28% Nitrate Nitrogen 1.7% Ammoniacal Nitrogen 0.3% Urea Nitrogen 26% Available Phosphoric Acid (P2O5) 14% Soluble Phosphorus 6.1% Soluble Potash...

This would account for the claw and the burned tips. Is your opinion that I am having a nitrogen overdose and magnesium deficit? With the yellowing top leaves now it looks like an iron deficit too. :( From what I read, plant stress can display things similar to nutriment deficiencies. If we...

I used 1/4 of the recommended dosage for plants. The fertilizer is plantprod 28-14-14. If you search it on google the first link is the chemical analysis. It's soluble and the recommended usage is 12.5 ml per 5 liters (+/- gallon).

The more I am reading, the more I think I may have been chronically UNDERwatering. Apparently, chronic underwatering can create the "claw", burn tips and yellow top leaves as well as other signs of deficiency. The plant is pretty big relative to the amount of soil in the pot.

It seems like the younger leaves are also turning yellow now. Especially the intervenal area. Am I experiencing a different kind of deficiency now? Thanks! I think it's time to water based on this latest picture. Agree?

The picture is 2 days after watering with 1/4 tsp epsom per gallon. I am seeing an improvement in the young leaves, but the old leaves still look as bad. Will some of them recover (like the ones that are only slightly yellow)? No, just normal plant fertilizers that you can buy at a...

Thanks Satori. What is the meaning of the leaf curl and how does it relate to foliar spraying? This is my first grow, I am trying to keep it as simple as possible in terms of additives. I used a 28-14-14 fertilizer once during the plant's 5 weeks. I also have another fertilizer where the...

I've already given some epsom salts at last watering. Should I give more? Could it be pH lockout? I've seen no improvements (and actual degradation since last treatment). Do you mean spray it on the leaves? Have any instructions you could point me to?

The plot thickens! I see what appears to be "burned" / necrotic tips to young leaves and I am also spotting some blotching on the leaves. Is this consistent with Mg deficiency still? I am really puzzled.

I only watered half of what I usually give on the off chance that overwatering might contribute. Therefore, the total quantity of Mg in the pot should be the same as for a full watering with 0.5 tsp/gallon

Ok, I have some new information. I measured the pH of my tap water with an electronic tester (pen type) and it's around 6.8-6.9. My runoff is at about 6.3-6.4. This means my soil is somewhere around 6.1-6.3. Would that mean that there is a pH lockout that is blocking macros from getting in...
