Hi RIU, i am seeing some discoloration in my fan leaves... i've been treating the plants with cal-mag but i am not sure what the problem is (or if there is any problems at all)
i am also having some pH fluctuations, pH drifts from 5.8 to 5.2 in about 2 days, dropped as low as 4.8 before, but i always use pH up to fix my pH issue. not sure what is causing the pH to drop but i've read that pH drops during flowering.
I am currently growing a california hash plant from Dinafem. The girl has been vegging for 5 weeks, i've LSTed her into a 2'x3'x 11" tall. very lush vegetation, just today i had to lollipop the undershoots because there was so many. I am estimating at least 12-15 colas will appear after stretch as many have not overcome the fan leaves.
currently, the plant is 4 days into flower... and about 40 days old from seed.
Setup:
2x4x6' grow tent
600w vented HPS
carbon filter & 6" inline fan
aeroponics/ nft w/ 14 gal reservoir
using GH lucas formula:
1 part flora micro 2 part flora bloom
also using following supplements during transition:
- liquid karma @ 5ml/ gal
- bud blood @ .5 tsb / gal (1 week only to mitigate stretching)
- cal mag @ 5 ml / ga;
- sillica blast @ 5ml/gal
- SM 90 @ 3ml / gal
also used these during veg:
- rapid start @ 3ml/gal
- superthrive @ 0.25ml/gal
- inoculated all my plants with great white during veg
planning on using Bloombastic after 4th week of flowering...
i try not to go over 1000 ppm. currently nutrient is @ 982 ppm @ 0.5 conversion, 5.7 pH. current reservoir temperature: 73.4 F. All the supplements i use brings my ROed water from 9ppm to about 300ppm. rest is lucas forumla using the add back equation.
foliar fed weekly with floranova bloom (1/4 strength), liquid karma, cal mag at half strength mixed with SM 90 as surfactant. pHed to 6.4 with RO water. 2-3 days after foilar feeding, i spray plants with pure pHed RO water to wash off any accumulated salts.
temperature: 74 F day 71 F night, RH 43% day 67% night
i have attached a picture with the lights off. as you can see at the left of the picture, a fan leaf is showing slight inter-venal discoloration. i am wondering if its natural or some type of deficiency such as magnesium (which is why i fed cal mag). would be great if anyone has any input on this since its been a year since i've last grown and i am somewhat rusty.
