Automatic Writing

Toosday’s T’oughts -
As I’m sitting watching the grass grow I have a few automatic thoughts on autos. I’ve noticed they uptake and use nutrients quite differently. Here is just one example:
Notice the leaves on the Black Cream. To me this screams molybdenum and or calcium deficiency- which is very rare during flowering for photo plants in hydro.
If you ever see this in a photo plant it is usually due to low or fluctuating ph values. I can assure you, ph values have been stable the entire grow and both girls are getting the same nutes yet the issue is only appearing on the Black Cream and NOT JLo. This is totally new to me and adding cal/mag makes little if any difference- it’s something at this point I guess I will just have to live with. Unless, any of you have a solution for my nutrient solution.
Current ph is running 5.9 on the Black Cream and 5.86 for JLo.
I’ve also come up with an estimate on yield. We will know in about 4 weeks how close I am.
My estimates are:
For JLo; a lot of flowers but not sure about bud density, I’m gonna say 8-10 oz’s.
For the Black Cream; a lot more branches but buds are not stem to stern like on JLo, but what is there is filling in nicely and the buds are rock hard, so I’m gonna say 10-12 oz’s for her.
Total for the grow: At least a pound for the two in flower alone.
If you have projections on final harvest dried weight PLEASE feel free to share them.
If you were one of the unlucky who read this before editing and were wondering WTF!? I’m posting a note to self: ‘wait awhile after smoking a bowl and pondering before putting fingers to keyboard!’ - lol
As my wife would say “That’s the first time I’ve ever done that again!”
