Leaves at bottom of plant

A couple fell off and a couple are turning funky. It's either they aren't getting light or maybe Phosphorus deficiency. She's 2 full weeks since flip

I can't tell. I was only watering her with tap water with 1 tbsp blackstrap each watering. I'm using homemade organic soil. It has numerous ferts in there including Seabird/Bat Guano Phosphorus from Happy Frog.

I watered them using Fox Farm nutes giving them 1300ppm 1 gal each.
10ml Tiger Bloom, 10ml Grow Big and 15ml of Big Bloom.

Also I've been letting them dry out till the leaves and stems droop on part of the plant before watering. Looks like I need to water them every 2 days now instead of 3.

Day after watering she grew 2 more inches and I wanted her to slow down. She's 48" now

whats your PH notice the red veins get less red as you move up the plant.The oldest leaves are affected first i would say drop the Ph or give them a good feed of a bloom mix high is phos. they are budding so keep them dry keep track of your Phos and mag,and cal. they need all 3 right now .

she is pulling phos out of the older leaves and fast . No deeper then you are in budding she shouldnt need phos, but dont go crazy just a good drenching of your regular bud formula, make it 5.6 PH

pretty plant

If it’s just the bottom leaves she’s just pulling the nutrients out since they’re not getting light. Strip around the bottom 1/3 of growth it’ll be fine and she won’t have to work as hard to keep that stuff healthy. She’ll probably stretch a bit more too don’t be scared to bend branches to manage height can be a little nerve wracking the first few times but really they don’t mind

Its just not the bottom leaves look at the progression going up the plant. you can clearly see the pattern.something has been happening .
if left alone it will just get worse . keep us posted.

that will give you potassium and a nice source ,i would use 2 tbs
alsaka moorbloom 0-10-10 is what i would get a bottle and keep it around its perfect for a fast acting source of phos and potassium. can even use it as a ph down if in a pinch.

The Alaska Moorbloom is super acidic, so you have to jump through some hoops if that's what you're using. If you're looking for something that's a 0-10-10 without that acidity GH Liquid Koolbloom is also 0-10-10 but without nearly as much need to readjust the pH.

Liquid koolbloom is the way to go thats what I've used for years alongside with gh floranova bloom and you definitely need to look into lolypopping
