So I have a blueberry plant that is approx 3-4 weeks old. I water it with pH corrected water once to twice a week. 6.0 pH and I added 1/4 strength nutrient solution. Nutrients are 10-15-10. I am aware that this solution is better for flowering due to a high P value however It proved quite effective in my last grow. I am growing in soil. I have 4, 17 watt 2 ft flouros. 2, 4 ft, 54 watt, T5's. 8, 26 watt, 6500k CFL's. 1, 150 watt HPS. Temps very between 65 degrees lights off and 85 degrees with lights on. Humidity varies between 22% and 30%, it never goes above 30%.
My problem is as follows. Last week the bottom leaves, 2 of them to be specific, yellowed, wilted and fell off in the span of 3 days. Now I notice that the next set of leaves above those, 2 of them, are starting to yellow. The plant has quite large fan leaves and I can see that the lower leaves are being blocked from quite a bit of light. I do not personally believe this is an N deficiency but any input is appreciated. None of my other plants are old enough to compare this problem to. They are still getting plenty of nutes from the soil.
In an N deficiency does the whole plant turn yellow rapidly or is it a slow process that can take weeks?
Should this problem persist I plan on uping my solution to 1/2 strength.
Another thing I have noticed is droopy leaves. I believe I am watering it correctly and none of my other plants are drooping. Growth is still strong however I do believe it has slowed slightly. However I have been watching it like a hawk lately since this issue arised so it could all be in my head.
Again any input is appreciated and welcome. I included a picture from yesterday I would take another picture but its lights off right now in my grow room.
Thanks again guys.
