Chez Calix - Journey of a Junior grower

Flowers are bulking up!

Ive just noticed a New colour on some leafs though…purplish from the inside. I don’t think it’s a temperature issue.
Any help? Last photo

I like the way you’ve trained these structurally. They look great. How far along are you in flower? Could be the beginning of a P deficiency, or could be the genetics. Looks like it’s only manifesting on the very top leaves, though. Is that accurate?

Yes there is two branches that Have the discolouration onnthe very top leafs.

And the second plant on the right looks like it has developed this issue as well.

Today is the first time I’ve noticed it , the lights just came on.

I Am at the end of the third week in flower i am fairly certain

This early, I’d bet on a P deficiency, but the guys smarter than myself should confirm that.

Phosphorus?

Thanks for prompt input :slight_smile:

Yeah. This is my guess based on where you are in flower. Just early to be fading imo. Verify this with the experts though :v:t2:

IT does resemble phosphorous deficiency, but it’s like a guessing game. Are the ph and conductivity good as well? There can also be antagonistic overdoses that resemble P deficiency.

I checked the nutREINT MIX ph before it was fed. 6.4 some how .

Please elborate the antagonist over dose if you may good sir …

Notice how some of the nutrients, on the excess side, say that they cause deficiencies or block uptake of other nutrients… the nutrients in excess are antagonists to the ones showing deficiency, causing a deficiency because even though there’s enough of the element in the soil, they’re out of balance and the plant has trouble accessing it. That being said, antagonists towards phosphorus are rare:

So, in theory, it could also be an iron or calcium excess instead of a phosphorus deficiency. However, since calcium is an antagonist towards manganese, zinc, boron, magnesium, iron and potassium as well as phosphorus, that seems rather unlikely to present as only a phosphorus deficiency. Your pH being off would also present with other deficiencies, most likely. That leaves either iron excess or phosphorus deficiency. The symptoms of iron excess are bronze upper leaves with no damage on the lower leaves, since it’s an immobile nutrient, but phosphorus deficiency will show on the lower leaves with minimal damage on the uppers since it’s mobile. It looks like you might actually have an iron excess, though I’ve never actually seen one except on the chart so I’m not certain. :wink: Still, it seems like that mottled dark bronze is only showing on the upper leaves, which would fit iron.

For some reason your plant isn’t eating.
More than likely it is stressing over a recent change.
It looks like your plant are adapting to the recent change, so I wouldn’t do anything to them. Plus you are 3 weeks in flowering. At most you have 3 more weeks of flowering. So there isn’t much time to see positive effects of a fix.
There appears to be a lot of handy work going on. It’s beautiful by the way… however, autos don’t like to be bothered much during the grow. Also you can Check the temperature at the root level. Your roots may be getting cold. I try to keep my roots no colder than 75*f

Hmmmm! Interesting…

I will keep that in mind for any autos I grow! These two are photoperiod!

It’s a bit of a older batch of nutrients . I kept 2 air stone in there and stirred very well.

But I was pretty sloppy this last batch.

And it has been on a weird feeding schedule

I had these plants in VEG for 4 months .

The new change is the extra light and dropped lights…

Can’t think much else other than a strong feed.

It’s possibly on the cold roots tool with winter coming on.

Thank you

Woah!!!

Thank you for that explanation and examination of my plant issue !

Big likes :slight_smile:

We will wait and see what progresses.

And will most likely not interfere entering week 4 now and they are described as fairly fast flowering plants by breeder description.

L.A. confidential on the left and blue monster on the right

Thanks again so much

My bad bro. Don’t know why I was thinking those were autos. Shid I’ll smoke it.

Nothing but love buddy . no sorry !

I’ve had people ask before if my grows we’re autos lol

I’ve actually got a bunch of seedlings trying to grow and one is an auto.

They are taking theyr dear time though…I wonder if because I haven’t given any dark time , ffs gonna have to give them 20-4. , can’t think of any other reasons. Been 2 weeks and they still little itti bitty seedlings haha…gonna pop more beans lol

Thanks for understanding. Sometimes I replace the ones that aren’t as big as the pot in 2 weeks. I have done test with mine. The size always correlate with the finish date. The smaller ones take a few days longer.

Well fuck me! That was my thoughts also… my last seed batch were bigger then pots before i knew. Somthin is off here because it’s 8 seedlings 4 diff genetic all diff breeders lol

Don’t go too hard on yourself. Sometime we forget the little difference and say it will be alright. Then forget about it when things don’t look right. It’s all good as long as it smokes good.

You think like nutrient lock out ?

That’s what it looks like to me. It’s feeding on itself instead of the medium.
