I guess its harder than I expected to see the yellowish gradient in the leaves.
It's an nl/afghan x deadhead clones I grew before and didn't have this prob.. same feeding regiment in soil with gen org. Line. I did have some too cold nights before I flipped the schedule to night time lights on.

The auto not pictured is lush green same free schedule (bit I water down by half for auto)
I use to.
Water w calmg, then nutes (now at heavy feed), then water w molasses
Under gc 680w full spectrum

Hmm ive never had this issue when i switch from veg to bloom nutes. I thought that was dark green leaves.. i know some tips are bent in the photo.. i did still have a little veg nutes mixed in to my feed the other day (its only been in flower for like a week) But I have to feed tonight , ill cut out the veg one altogether tonight. Ive learned in the my last 2 grows (about 4 years in as a hobby) that ive been under feeding most of my plants by 2nd or 3rd week of flower.. i had never really pushed the heavy feed regiment, but realize now some othe problems i had could have been that.
should i be flushing for a day or just cut out any extra nitrogen like from the veg nutes and any other supplement ive used ?

thanks

I failed to mention as i notice you cant see on the leaves in photo but there is the start of a spider mite issue (my predator mites arrive tomorrow) Im guessing that could also cause the probs, but it was on new growth that hadnt been eaten yet.. I work around a lot of produce in my job and stuff from fields, so I more than likely bring them home no matter how hard i sanitize between grows. Oddly enough teh auto seems untouched

So hard to tell if any improvement. Obviously the lower fan leaves all turned full yellow. Instill have bent down tips. (The auto doesn't.. some fan leaves in middle or yellowing from the inside portion of the leaves.. like 4 or so like that. )

I flushed when this op was made. I'm just doing standard feed with gen org. Bloom, bud ,camg.

I do have ppm and oh meter I'd need be,. I did discover my tap water in new apt is in the 200s for ppm compared to my last place in the 500s. I've used to for a few years bc of that.. any reason to switch to tap?.

I do have dolomite like coming tomorrow since I've been reading a lot of people amending with it for soil grows

They wont get rid of all the mites, that's why u "keep using them"
Use a bomb every 3 days for 2 weeks and then weeky until harvest. After harvest deep clean the room and bomb it again

Bu keep using . I mean intermittently. Maybe 4 times in last year doing perpetual. Didn't mean I use weekly or something sorry.

My ultimate concern is the deficiency or toxicity issue I had around my flip. I don't water to get run off, I know just about how much to water in each day (about 600ml in 2 gal smart pots)

Gotcha. To each their own and no disrespect intended but idk y anyone would waste their time with predator mites when a much simpler, cheaper, and organic method is available. Plus spider or predator mites are still gonna end up in your budd

What are your ppm/ec? A lot of times a vegging plant will look great at a lower PPM and within a week of 12/12 they will start showing problems.
I had a similar issue a few weeks ago and my meter was out of calibration by a few hundred ppm

I've had great success with the mites actually, only reason I keep using them. And now discovered they do a mix pack with 3 or 4 types

All my predators came from EWC or vermicompost. Hypoaspis miles, rove beetles, springtails, and I saw a Big Eyed Bug eat a spider mite right in front of my eyes while under the microscope a year and a half ago. It was crazy. I don't know where he came from, but I was guessing the compost.

I forgot vermi has compost. I used to use vermifire when I started, I prefer roots now, bit would love to push towards full organic. I know that'll be a CPL hundred to like 5# of everything so it'll have to wait.

I'll look at pyrythum

Never bothered with ppm or ph really with my soul.when I tried I had serious issues. I just got new meters yesterday. I'll have it pour enough for run off tomorrow to measure Anything from pot, bit going in today I was at 650 on my mix, tomorrow is water and molasses (ro so I tend to add calmg always)

I think you're confused. This is vermicompost. It's like a higher quality EWC.
