Day 29 Flowering W.Widow-Question?

White Widow
Here is a couple pics in different lighting schemes. I just flushed 6 days ago. Added 1/8th tsp. per gal. nutes (Botanicare Pro Bloom Soil). 1/4 tsp. per gal. blackstrap molasses. 1/4 tsp. per gal. hydrogen peroxide.
Yellowing on the top (after topping) main cola. Also yellowing on fan leaves down low, deep inside near the main stem.
Resin development is extremely high already. Frankly, I'm shocked how much there is already. My other ww, also at day 29, looks a solid deep green color with less resin production. And has not one unheathy leaf.
My ac unit dedicated to the box, keeps the humidity at around 30. Except when the cooling cycle kicks in every 10 minutes or so, it will jump up to 40 for about 2-3 minutes.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I hope you're online phenom420! You da man got me this far!
BTW, for those of you who haven't read my full thread on this grow. I'm at 18,100 watts (just over 2:1 on the 2700k side) in a 2X3X4 box made out of an old dresser. Full update will be posted soon on my veg box and everything.
I would imagine I need to up the nutes a tad???
Sorry for the crappy pics, not a good enough cam to get the resin. I can actually take these pics though and open them with my hp editor. The zoom goes really high and you can see all the resin. FYI...

I had the same problems with my NYCD a few days ago, Up the nutes a bit. Not too much though you dont want to burn them. But the yellow should start turning green again after about a day or 2. If the leaves are too gone then just trim them. The plant produces more energy to bring leaves back to life then produce bud.

Sweet. Thanks man... I did have some that were too far gone down lower. Probably about 20 or 30 tiny fan leaves and 2 or 3 bigger ones. Trimmed 'em all off. You think upping to 1/4 tsp. nutes would be good? Or do you think like 1/6?

I think trying the 1/6 first would be better because you dont want to over do them. then try 1/3 and if thats too much try 1/4. Safety first

They were asking for water yesterday morning. So, I did choose 1/6th. Today there is no burn, and maybe a little greener on the yellowing leaves. And, no additional yellowing.

Well, I actually spoke to soon I think. My ww has now continued to yellow...
Should I have gone with 1/4 nutes?
What should I do now?
Can I give a little boost of nutes before the next time they ask for water?
I was thinking maybe a small watering with 1/8 nutes to make it equal to 1/4 dose. Would that make my problem worse?
With my "moisture control" organic soilless mix it's been about 6-7 days before they ask for water. So, it would be Sunday or Monday before they need water again.

If you just went to town on trimming/cutting fan leaves other leaves then just leave it alone for a week or two. Stay consistant with that water cycle because that's what it's used to. Also, personally i'd leave the nutes out for the next watering or two cycles. Just my 2 cents. :bigjoint:

Hey Bud and welcome to RIU, no bother.
To start your listed watts is "rated" not real watts.

I would say stop with the nutes for a week, see what happens, if it continues to worsen FLUSH, and only use 1 table spoon blackstrap molasses.
You should only nute 1 time a week with a watering in between.
Also use low doses, and when you have a problem regarding nutes, adding more (especially within days) prob isn't going to be anything but more of a problem.
Also you really need to let it dry out well before any more water or your gonna drown those roots and make her really suffer.
Im stoned, I think I covered it, you really should b ok.
Whats your PH?

Hey bro,
Here is a link to my original thread you helped me on. You have given me a ton of help. Much appreciated.
https://www.rollitup.org/newbie-central/227005-first-time-grow-question-2.html

But yeah, I've been watering now every 6 or 7 days since I have the botanicare organic soilless mix with "moisture control"... My soil ph is about 6.5, and I adjust the water's ph (after adding nutes) to an even 6.0

I've never given my plants a break from the nutes. Maybe this is my problem. I saw the uniform yellowing of fan leaves and jumped to the conclusion that they needed more nutes...
They will need water either tomorrow or Monday. Monday will be 7 days since last water. I also took your advice about flushing every 2-3 weeks. So they got flushed 2 weeks ago (2 waterings ago)...

Thanks again for your time!

Hey, I forgot I helped ya before, I answer alot of questions.
You shouldn't ph your water to 6, 6.5 is the sweet spot for soil.
Here is a graph to show you proper ranges.
That could b your issue right there.

I's appreciate rep if I helped ya and you think I deserve it.

Thanks and happy growing, you should b just ifne.bongsmilie

Thanks again man. I'll water with 6.5 from now on.

So, after this coming watering without nutes...
Should I resume nutes at the same level?

Yeah this coming watering just plain water, or better add 1/2 table spoon molasses.
Molasses brings your ph down about -.4 per table spoon, so if you use 1/2 table spoon on 6.5ph water it will go around 6.3ish

Man, 1st it tells me I need to spread more rep around before giving you more...
Then, I spent a couple hours on here spreading rep around, so I could give you more.
Now, it's telling me I have given too much rep in the past 24 hours...

As soon as I can, you got more coming... Thanks again! bongsmilie
