Err..need more opinions for a diagnosis :)..started a post yesterday..didnt get much replies..maybe location of thread lol
4th week into flower..and shes turning lighter green by the day
Been feeding AN Connie A+B 4ml each to the gallon
(sometimes even 3ml each)..and it seemed to burn them a little..but somehow still having a def ?!
thanks
btw..its a 2 gal pot..temps are 72-80 degrees tops..using LED's (grow cab)
i try to ph @ 5.8-6.2
3:1 per/verm
and in actuality yesterday was the first time they have gotten straight water..they've been getting fed every watering from veg-until now...so i dont understand these girls...a guy said yesterday that it might be the start of Iron Def and that I had some slight nute burn ..but would love other opinions here!
:wall:

are you growing in 100% perlite? doesnt look like nute burn to me, but im a newb. looks like overwatering or some kind of deficiency. if i were you id would probably flush it out and just feed it afterwards making sure you hit the entire spectrum of nutes.

3:1 perlite/Verm ...I am starting to think it might be the Verm retaining too much water...right now I'm watering every 6~7 days ...but I did just water with plain water and I'll feed next time I guess?

I do 100% coco hempy w/ dyna gro and get excellent results w/ ease. check my grow. I never tried perlite w/ verm, but my guess is more N maybe? im not too sure how the AN conn line works but if A contains more nitrogen than B, then I would feed @ 6ml, 4ml of A and 2ml of B, too see if the leafs get greener. how strong are those leds, might not be strong enough.

Cool thanks for answering...I was considering the "more A" option but was under the impression that they work in conjunction with each other at same amounts...also the LED's came with the growbox ..it says "Duramax 360led" << whatever that is...it more looks like an Apollo style led relabeled ..but it draws 240w and advertises that it can replace a 600w ?? Lol anyway ...it worked well on my previous grow in promix ...but just tryna figure how I'm able to burn them and yet still have this light green color take over my plant slowly...my ph is in the right range from what I understand ..and I've seen people talk about not even worrying about ph in hempy buckets ..but I do ...just tryna dial in what might be wrong and how to prevent for future cases :)

3 parts perlite to 1 part vermiculite should need water and feed everyday with a straight water once a week so something isnt right. What is your run off water ppm and ph? Your not letting runoff sit at your rotts are you?
Should have read better im not familliar with hempy( havnt done it in 6 years) just drain to waste.

When the last time you calibrated or pH meter? And I would keep our pH around 6 and 6.3 in flower when our medium is Perl/verm or 100% perlite imo

Lower leaf yellow is a lack of N & in your case its NPK, looks like a lockout coming to me.

A 2gal hempy bucket during mid flower should never take more than 3days to completely suck up the rez. What is your source water like? Are you adding Cal-Mag? It seems to me that your girl isn't up-taking anything and without cal there will be limited food up-take. This could be cal def, and be sure your ph is 5.8 to 6.4 again outside this range up-take is restricted.

geez thank you all for the input..i thought everyone gave up on answering so didnt check post in a while..Since the last post i basically slapped her with a nice dose of nutes (6ml Part A and 4ml Part B) this is a little high for my comfort zone.. then i kept ph at 6.0 and she seemed to love it ...yellowing stopped spreading and some leaves might have even gottten back some color..And no @ wattsaver ..water is cistern (rain water collected) water and i was told no need for cal-mag? anyway..like i said earlier..lots of suggestions in terms of what it was..one guy said iron..some said N..some said its underfeeding ..so i think what works for me right now is feed every watering..light feeding 2-3ml a gallon..i only prepare 1gal since its only 2 buckets i have..fills them right to the drain hole..seems to be working..ill post some pics later tonight
