@Donaldj, I haven’t fed them for 2 weeks prior to doing so last night… Been real easy on nutes… Last 2 times I watered runoff is always 5.8 or 5.9… Last watering only ppm’s were like 580 or so…appreciate you looking at them
@Donaldj, would you recommend:
Trimming all the affected leaves off plant
Also at next watering, should I flush her until I get correct ph, maybe flush with 6.8 ph’d water until ph of soil comes up? The plant is in week 7/8 of flower right now… Didn’t expect this problem this time of budding, don’t want to lose her
@Donaldj… 9 weeks should do it? I thought longer like 11-12, but this is my first grow… Couple of things went sideways on me but I’ll be better next grow… Thx for
Your input
@Donaldj@Myfriendis410, ok , here is pics of whole plant… Also, lights were flipped May 8th so not counting the first 2 weeks, flowering starts on may23rd…so am I 5 weeks in or 7?.. Don’t know when to start count… My grow got screwed up, mainly because I didn’t want them to start flowering so soon but switche lights to 14/10 and they went into flower… Not sure I it was switch or maybe they are autos…another long story but if you could give me idea when to count weeks , that would help… Thx folks… I know they say northern lights photos was like 9-11 weeks flowering
The leaves you are worried about appear to have been exposed to some nutes or water. I don’t believe you have anything to worry about. Your plants look healthy and are starting flower nicely. Now is when you get to find out if you are a patient person lol. You probably have another 6 to 8 weeks to go. I’ll bet they’ll be gorgeous!
@Myfriendis410, thx for your input, I appreciate that… Am I to count from light switch or the 2 week transition time after light switch?.. I switched light on May 8… Really started seeing the flowers start on May 23 rd… I’m confused as to harvest time… Some say 7-9 weeks and I’ve also read 9-11 weeks… Guess I have to just watch and look at trichomes
Give it around 2 weeks from when you flipped them,but some strains may take a little longer to show. My Og Kush was slower than the WW but ended up only a week or so behind. Those flowers starting on your plant should eventually form a long dense cola. If you are wondering, just look at some bud porn to remind you. Your nutes should be transitioning over to higher phosphorus and potassium and magnesium with less nitrogen to support bud growth.
@Myfriendis410, I agree, my last 2 feedings which have been over the last 3 weeks have been only Big bloom and Tiger Bloom, I have skipped the Grow Big because the other 2 have some Nitrogen already… I agree what you say patience is key… I’m in no rush but just get frustrated when I can’t figure out why the leaves turned? I would like to know so I don’t repeat mistake but don’t know where or how mistake occurred? Lol…
Leaves die. Pinch them off and it will help airflow and light to other leaves and you won’t have to look at them lol. Seriously, your plants look nice and healthy.
Thx for the feedback @Myfriendis410… I will remove the dead leaves… Is it recommended to fils roots to try and get the h back up while plants are in flower?
