Looks good but you have slight def, maybe feed more on the next run. :)
Oh, it is more than a slight deficiency lol.

She has been eating her leaves of Phosphorus since week 4 of 12/12.

I bumped her up on watering from 3 to 2 days. So she is getting approx 1.5 tsp a week instead of 1.

If she still looks hungry at the end of next week I may bump her up to 2.25 a week.

Thanks for looking!!! *smooch*

Day 71 - 12/12 Day 47

Still chowing down on herself. I watered her with 1 tsp per gallon. I can't go much stronger than that.

Prob gonna trim her up a bit later after I take a shower. Buds are definitely coming in nice. I'll take more pics tonight after she gets a haircut.
doesn't look like N deficiency....but just keep an eye on it. I also would not trim anything at this stage personally, or else the plant will try to heal instead of packin on final weight, it doesn't look like you've got long left till chop. plant is lookin lovely though. I think I see signs of phosphorous issues on the dull patches near the fan leaf tips but not 100% sure, but anyway, the majority of the plant looks good for now, don't make any rash decisions!! Check out the cannabis nutrient disorder manual :leaf: :-D

Maybe the nutes are going in and not being used??? In soil you could get a lockout. I haven't read the whole thread but holes in buckets suggest hydro??? When I use soil I check the PH of the run off. Mine are slightly low too but I'm on week 5 so not bothered now. Just going to feed more on my next lot. :)

I have updates with bold and underlined text. https://www.rollitup.org/cfl-fluorescent-lighting/556896-comment-my-cfl-flowers-21.html#post8924688

I am in soil. It isn't PH.

The bucket with holes was for my ONA bucket.

apologies...late to this party I know...IMO too much P and not enough N....but still a tight lil bush nonetheless

as for pH I agree...in soil/soiless pH is a very rare problem...IMO it is the catch all for when one cannot read plants..."Its the pH" and more often than not it ISN'T

Keep 'em Green...subb'ed

=P

Don't worry it isn't N it is P deficiency. Me and figong have pegged this girl has a heavy feeder and finicky.

Her strain appears to like a heavier K, and very heavy P for some reason that I don't understand.. but we're now aware of :)
Yeah she is definitely a weird one. I look forward to growing some FCJ. I hear she is easy to please. lol

Most likely is that the breeders are of the high P feed school and through the selection this emerged

if the breeder states 7-8 weeks to finish add another week onto that time.I dont know why but it takes a week or so longer when flowering with cfl's.Maybe someone else can chime in and explain why.they look really good well done mate!!
The plant tends to run a little slower. Flowering is regulated by a hormone called Phytochrome, which has two states. The inactive, Pfr, occurs when it absorbs red spectrum of light at 666 nanometers. It also has a slight sensitivity to blue light. The hormone changes to its active form, Pr, over a period of two hours when the plant is in darkness. When Pr levels remain high enough for a critical period of time over several days, the plant initiates flowering.

Basically, the Pfr doesn't build up as much during the day with CFL's as it would with, say, a LED setup or HPS bulbs.

Watered again today.

About half the pistils are a light orange now. Gonna start checking trichs this weekend.

Thanks for the update, `Pie! the high P keeping the leaves in check still I hope? :D
that's why I bumped her up to 2 days of watering. I was still seeing some deficiency. She hasn't burned yet, so hopefully it is fixed.

Sometimes I wonder if the low humidity is playing into this deficiency as well.

My Ona bucket half dried in two days. I added a solo cup of water and it worked fine again.

Fricken 20% humidity..

Yup, humidity can definitely do it - without a doubt. :D
