Notice Kandy Kush is displaying N def yellow lower leaves.

nutes 003.jpg

Notice Connie Chung showing P def dark green color with a purple, red tint to the fan leaves, veins and petioles, not strain related. the mother does not have this. Also notice fresh new tops look pale shriveled and 1 necrotic spot on one leaf (suspect light damage from T5 contact but portrays Manganese def leaf tips and edges discolor and curl)
nutes 002.jpgnutes 004.jpgnutes 001.jpg

N, P and Mn def traits indicate a PH imbalance.
I can't check PH until tomorrow and then Ill need to flush them to check.

Tomorrow is watering day. The soil is as dry as a popcorn fart so my options are:
A) Feed to address a N and P def
or
B) flush to check for PH? (effectively just watering, no nutes)

Flush and feed without PH measures may make maters worse while flush to get PH and then feed may over water them.

The diff in the N-P-K of canna and foxfarm is hosing my grow and is confusing me too.

So sad the pics suck but thats as good as my old POS gets.:sad:
 
Pics of clones taken at last feed. no roots yet at 5 days from cut but still green in the DIY bubble cloner.
nutesII 002.jpg 1 of 3 Connie Chung. only this one shows some of the traits the mother is now showing.

nutesII 003.jpg 4 Kandy Kush clones 5 days no roots still green and healthy. NOT showing N def the mother plant has.

How often do you water/feed Lokie? I think if it was me I would be watering them first (not necessarily a massive flush, i.e just a water with a little bit of run off, and often add a micro nute solution - covering all your manganese, zinc, iron, molybedenum, etc, etc). Then let them do what they have to do with that and then water again until you think they are hungry. I assume FoxFarm hase feed in it of some sort?

It's been years since I smoked Connie Chung.

Feed/water/feed on 5 day schedule. 1/2 gal each.

I go mostly by feel, yes I finger the girls, and pay alot
of attention to the leaves. that is why I must water or feed today. waiting longer
will compound the issue.

So ya I figure 1/2 rations H20 check PH and take next steps in a day or 2.
I have 4 or 5 more weeks untill my flower room is available.

Thanks for your input.
 
UP DATE bump.

riding the storm out with just water for 2 cycles has worked, I've had to top/fim to keep
them off the lights.

Now I'm waiting for the flower room to free up.
Here are 2 of the strongest buds in my flower room now. about 2 weeks from harvest.
PE on the left and Connie Chung on the right.
