First Indoor grow - Sour OG under T5

Wondering if this is where I slipped up, "A steady intake of nitrogen will help her reach her potential in the final stage of flowering, prior to flush." Now I found that on Attitudes website and its in the description for Super Sour OG from Emerald Triangle Seeds. Yeah It's not the exact same strain but it sounds about right to me. And their Sour Lemon OG, "They love to be trellised, and nitrogen, calcium and magnesium will ensure a strong finish."

Thats what i'm saying. I never pull up on nitrogen but i'm organic. And i don't flush either. Some plants will resist nitrogen, no matter how much you give them, they will get lighter but never completely yellow off until it's done. Just like in nature how plants in the fall yellow off evn though the N is still in the soil, it happens.

Sour lemon og is dead on the description..... Loves cal/mag longer than most and a nitrogen whore. Saving my last 2 seeds for a rainy day. It's there version of sour og so could apply to your cut as well

Alright guys so what should I have been doing? Feeding the same amount of N that I was feeding in veg along WITH the amount the feeding schedule calls for? I know, I know, It's just a schedule, learn to read the plants. That's what I am trying to do but what do I start adding? Double the recommended amount? 1 and 1/2 that amount? Triple? I have cuttings getting ready to be transplanted now, So I will be working with this strain again. I have learned she loves Nitrogen so obviously I am going to prepare for that, If you look at the veg pics they were doing fine maybe even a little too much, so I guess I am good there. Oh and BTW I watered with plain water last night because they really needed it, tonight I am going to water again with some epsom salts so we'll see what the extra Mg does.

i would follow the schedule, when you start to notice things treat them asap because it will take a second to start taking effect.

Alright folks, just gave all six ladies and one of the mothers some epsom salt. 1 tsp per gallon of water. We'll see what happens. Also transplanted all of the cuttings I took into Solo cups and FFOF. Pretty sure I just might get a 100% success rate with those Root Riots. I was wondering what was going on with them since barely any roots were popping out the bottom, pulled them out the tray and Holy Roots Batman!!!! Lovely!!! Happy Thanksgiving to all of you!

Well today is day 35 of 12/12 and this is what they are looking like. I figure they have at the very least 3 more weeks to go? Leaves are falling off every day. The hairs are starting to turn orange. Not really sure what to do. I guess I'm going to try feeding with the recommended amount of P and K and give them as much N as I was in Veg. I will also try feeding with the epsom salts again. What do you guys think? Kinda seems the buds aren't really swelling. They do smell awesome though.

This just a shot in the dark here but it looks like you may have a combination of high temps and too much fertilizer. Make sure the temp is right and use less nutes and see what happens.

Temps have been pretty stable with the lights on around 76-79f. I appreciate the input but Its gotta be a deficiency or a PH problem, it has to be. I kinda fell off and didn't feed them at one point for like 10 days or something. I lost track of my feedings because I wasn't writing it all down. So I don't think its over feeding. Trying to get them back on track now, I realize for next time though I really gotta be a little more organized.

For cal/mag issues i would go with Molasses. It is much more beneficial than epsom salts. Much much more. And my Sour OG also has a light color than my other strains, and i know its Nuted up.. it may be genetics because i am only in week two..

Wow ok, I was unaware Molasses adds calmag. I have used it once when I added the Budwel tea, I will start making another tonight. These damn things aren't just light green, they are turning yellow and dropping tons of leaves. The GO not so bad since I added that top dressing of EJ Rainbow Grow but the GH girls, I'm worried if they aren't gonna have enough green leaves to produce what they need to thrive and swell and finish flowering. Thinking about feeding them all again tonight, this will make twice in one week, but they are in 2 gallon pots.

do you own any synthetic nutes? organics takes a little long to help. thats if it helps.
Yes, 3 of my plants are on General Hydro and the other 3 are on General Organics.

Well I suppose I could be having a Ph problem. I checked my run-off yesterday and it was at about 7.1, so I flushed one of them with 4 gallons of water at 6.5 and checked runoff again. That only got it down to about 7.0. That's when I did a little searching and decided I wasn't flushing right and that FFOF has a Ph of 7. Loaded up 5 gallons of some 5.5 and it finally started coming down to about 6.7. This evening I will be flushing all of them with something around 4.8-5.0 and see where that gets me.

I have been using Advanced Nutrients Ph up and down, do you guys think I would kill my General Organics if I use it on them? To fix this Ph issue?

I don't ph personaly, but I don't think that would hurt anything..... It's chlorine and such that messes with organics, it kills you mycos
