currently growing 2 dosi do’s (DDs) fem from Greenpoint and 1 raspberry cough fem from nirvana. They are all in 3 gal smartpots w FFOF medium. Temps ph and ventilation are all on point. Blooming with Timber 4VS 400w and Rapid LED 225w fixtures.

The bigger of the DDs has had purple stems throughout veg and now 4 wks into bloom. I started to notice discoloration in the lower leaves and a bit of folding downward late in veg. Growth has been steady and is now 43” high. Ppms were at about 1400 last week so I flushed down to 950ppms. I haven’t been adding any additional nutes since switching to 12/12. Again, the leaves have been showing these signs since late in veg.

I’ve been told needs nitrogen—I’ve been told nitrogen deficient—I’ve been told flush—I’m at a loss.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Lemme know if you need additional information

Hmm that's different, I have only seen that in young planes, witch came down to root degrading from too much moisture, but i dont think thats the case here, it's odd that's happening now, what's are you Temps and also have you ever seen any bugs etc ? IMO they don't need nitrogen, yellowing fan leaves this late in the grow is normal just like the leaves sagging alittle,

Im confused ppms were at 1400 so do you mean you ran water through the dirt and you ppm ed the swill that came out and then you ran more water through till it read 950. Do I have that right????

Yes, ppm runoff was at 1400 so I flushed until runoff was 950

Temps are a little high @86. No bugs

so you what to make it more confuseing what does that mean. You ran water through read the swill ran more water through and you did this five days ago and have stated that you hadnt fed it any nutes since flip

I’m not sure how much clearer I can be. I noticed leaves turning down and yellowing a bit about 5 weeks ago (one week before flipping to 12/12. The issue progressed but really didn’t get bad until a week ago—so I checked and the Runoff Parts Per Million read 1400. I flushed the plant 5 days ago with regular water until runoff ppm was at 950. So I’m wondering if there’s any advice for what I should be doing.

anyways your kind of fucked you have a huge mag deficiency and probably every other deficieny known, right when you should be putting on weight. Your only hope is to nurse it till chop.

Get some bloom nutes get some epsom salt get some microbes. feed the bloom nutes about 650 ppm add 75ppm of epsom salt add a pinch or two of microbes and feed your plants.

mag makes the plant green nitrogen makes it grow. dont add a bunch of nitrogen now unless you want airy buds worst than what your going to get. all those purple stems that is mag deficiency along with the mag deficency in your leaves. You were low on nitrogen during veg and since flip it sucked out all of the nitrogen in the older fan leaves thats why those are the even yellow color. Go ahead and pick off all those crappy leaves they're just blocking light now.

If you go too hot on the ppm you will fry your plant so I wouldnt try to dump it on there thinking it will do any good.

I would seriously figure out how to properly water the plants as well no need getting root rot now either. I would do a light watering. Your plants are under stress and not going to perform like a healthy plant

Good luck.

Plenty of grow videos and threads and forums to learn from.
Thanks. I have 4 boys all under 10 and they command a lot of my time to say the least lol. I try to do what I can and improve each grow, but it’s hard to find the time I need to really maximize my grow. Maybe once they go to college lol

You can have time for both i spend less than 30 minutes a day checking on plants. See if they need water maybe a quick trim. Then its off to play with momma. The only time I spend more time than that is when I transplant.
