So to give a little backround, I am an organic gardener not new to growing, but new to growing marijuana. my 3 plants( two Herojuana OG, one Sour Diesel) are outdoors, got them as clones from a dispensary about 1.5 months ago and they weren't in that great of shape. They were about 19 inches tall and were not bushy at all, looking like they stretched for some crappy light. Just the main stem was growing with no shoots coming off of it. Since the purchase, I have organically grown them using an organic potting soil(Edna's Best from E.B. Stone Organics) topped off with 2 inches of miracle grow potting soil. (I know miracle grow blows and i will never do this again, but i just didnt have enough organic potting mix to fill all the way to the top of each 3 gal pot and I already had some miracle grow laying around from a neighbor, so i put it to use) For nutrients, I am using ACT's to supply them and I am using bone meal, alfalfa meal, kelp meal, bat guano for N, and worm castings in my flowering ACT's. I currently water and feed when I water, twice a week.
Recently, I discovered a fungus gnat invasion of my plants, not too bad, but it needed attention before it got out of hand. So after researching, I applied a h202 (1 part h202:4 parts water) soil drench to kill off any gnat larvae feeding on my roots. I did this and then watched the PH run a little high on me, about a full point it went up, which i thought was weird considering h202, i thought, should've had a fine ph for the soil. Since applying the h202 drench 3 days ago, I have applied vinegar at 1 tblspn. per gal of water, also as a soil drench to lower the ph. I successfully brought the ph down to 6.7 yesterday, and i did notice the growth on my healthiest plant resumed its grow that day. So i feel the ph may have contributed to this yellow vein problem a little at first. But my ph is now in the correct range.
so after all this explaining, my question is...What is causing the veins to yellow or even become a pale white color? Is this natural or normal? Or is this a sign of a deficiency? I noticed the veins started changing color yesterday by the way. What should I do if anything?
Please help. Thank you very much!
