Hello people !
I am back from vacations and the plants survived pretty ok after 1+1/2 month of outdoor growth with long dissolving nutrients and only rain water gathered in a large bucket with automatic watering.When I first saw them, two weeks ago, they were looking a bit stretched and around 20cm taller than my grow-box. I tried to stretch them down but the main branch was too thick and I decided to prune them.Additionally, I had to stretch the tops down and I managed this, by hanging weights at the tops.The pruned branches became clones and I have in total around 10 of them, plus 3 mature plants (2x Crimea blue + 1x special queen).From the moment i moved them inside the box, they became more bushy and they created many tops and leafs.My problem now is that some leafs at the top bturned a bit whitish-yellowish ans some leaf edges dry, although when they were outdoors, they were looking fine.The signs look almost the same with when I had them in DWC.I forgot to mention that when I transferred them from outdoors to indoors they had already started to create pistils about 1 week old.Now they are at their 3rd week of flowering and their buds are looking healthy. I am watering them every 2 days with bio bloom from plagroom. Additionally, i am spraying them every 3 days with vita race from the same company.I also have a PK booster from Canna (it's for hydroponics) and i am thinking to start using it for better budding.Can it work in combination with bio bloom, if I mix it half-half?
I am thinking that my problem with the yellowish leaves and dry edges has to do smthg with the water hardness again as when they were outside they were using rainwater and because the symtoms are the same as before I transplanted them in soil.
I created a 10lt solution with fertilizers and PH neutralization to make sure that the water is no the problem but after 1 day of storage the PH value increased from 5.8 to 6.9 or 7.0. What is happening with my water and why PH increases so fast.Is it nessecary to balance the PH in my case now ? From pictures that I looked on the net, the problem looks like Potasium(K) deficiency.
I attached some images to check them out and tell me what do u think.
Cheers!
