Hello!
So, my first actual run…beginning to end…and my plants are budding very nicely.
As they were starting their flowering cycle, I went thru and trimmed a lot of leaves so I could get more light to the lower branches and whatnot. I also changed my nutrients…had been using schultz 10-15-10 for Veg and switched to Morbloom 0-10-10 for flower.
I notice, as the flowering has progressed, that my remaining leaves are dying off, turning brown. I was a bit concerned and switched to plain water, just to see if this was maybe too much nutrient…no change.
Is this normal? Should I be concerned?
My buds all look good.
photos help and how far along you are, you still need nitrogen in flower though that morbloom doesn’t have any so consider maybe going back and using the schultz and you can play with adding the more bloom to supplement
This was earlier on…
Most all the leaves are brown and dead now. Somehow I got the idea they needed no nitrogen during flowering…
Will supplement with the morbloom next time…or maybe just add some K to my Schultz regimen.
Just add a little veg nutrients in with the bloom. Most of the yellow leafs will likely green up a little.
Plants need constant nitrogen but a lot less in flower.
10/15/10 for veg and first two weeks after flip stretch
W3 50/50 , 10/15/10 and 0/10/10 is like a 1/3/2
Then w5 , up Rez ec/ppm with added 0/10/10 , so similar to 1/4/3 or 1/5/4 ish
Then finish up with reduced ec/ppm
Or plain tap , or 1/2/6 at reduced ec/ppm , how ever you like to do it : )
Most folks gradually increase P-K and decrease N at beginning of flower…but the plants need a dose or two of grow nutes about 1/12-2/3 the way into flower or they get a lot of leaf die-off… and a lot of the micro-nutes (calcium/Boron etc…) are higher in many veg nutes-- check your label… a dose of Super cal-mag or Micro-boost wouldn’t hurt!
And also- check the bottom of your planters!
Slight possibility that the roots could be overgrown and getting locked-up??
Good luck!
You guys are awesome!!
I am a total rookie, so next grow will be a ton better. I will try to correct what I can here, but I think I am close to harvest time…trichomes are starting to look a bit cloudy. My plants are definitely in too small of containers…root bound to be sure!
I need to learn a lot more about nutrients.
Went thru quite the learning curve during veg…and my veg period was super long as a result! Getting better all the time
lots of good replies above. when the plant does not have enough nutes to support the new growth on the plant it will consume the nutes form itself [usually the fan leafs] and move it to the new growth where it is needed most.the growing tips and buds. nitrogen is very mobile in plants. you will just need to make sure the plants has the food/s to prevent this from happening as it transitions to flower. this also varies between different strains but always starts at the bottom of the plant and works its way up the plant. if you catch this soon enough you can sometimes correct it. to help prevent this a good top dress of amendments at the flip will help with this. i use a good couple of inches of bumper crop that is made by coast of maine products. there is also another maker [master nursery] of the bumper crop. coast of maine is under license to make this product which is a far better product than the master nursery one. it will say coast of maine product on back of bag. https://coastofmaine.com/product/bumpercrop/ enjoy you grow.
Oh man…it was like the old films of pre-wright brothers flight attempts! Crazy flapping contraptions going over a cliff…
I overwatered, underfed, underwatered, cooked a few seedlings under the wrong light…basically made every mistake possible…but I learned from each one.
My veg cycle was about 8 or 9 months…had to keep nursing my plants back to health.
Needless to say, I am still learning! Which is a good thing
Just bought some cal mag today…I think that and some more nitrogen will help.
And apparently today is harvest day!!
Checked my trichomes and they are just starting to get amber…most have that milky look to them.
Here is one of my beautiful flowers…
Hopefully you can plan your chop time to happen prior to lights on. Trichomes repair themselves in dark cycle from degradation during the heat and light intensity.
, this looks to me as a Calcium deficiency …
