well i am 2 weeks into flowering and the buds seem to be coming along nicely all new growth looks good as far as i can tell but the lower fan leaves and older 3 fringered leaves are yellowing and have brown spots .. going through the deficiency thread i think i may have narrowed it down to mag or potassium...
i have only fed this plant 3 times in its entire life whcih i did the first feeding at 1/2 week of flowering with half teaspoon of earth juice grow(because it was already yellowing a bit i figured the nitrogen might help it since i had just started flowering) earth juice catalyst which is 3-1-1(i did another half teaspoon, earth juice micronutes(another half teaspoon). all mixed to 1 gallon of water which i fed the plant the entire gallon of water (like i normally do) which gives me about 1/4 gallon of run off.. second feeding was 1 teaspoon of earth juice grow, 1 teaspoon of earth juice bloom, 1 teaspoon of earth juice meta-k, and 1 teaspoon of earth juice catalyst. mixed to 1 gallon of water which i fed the plant the entire gallon of water again getting about 1/4 gallon of run off.. then i was told feeding them 1 gallon at a time is too much so the next feeding i fed only half gallon but i upped the dosage of the nutes to 1 table spoon of earth juice grow, 1 tablespoon of earth juice bloom, 1 teaspoon of earth juice catalyst and 1 teaspoon of earth juice meta-k... i only fed half gallon and got about 10% run off... obviously i upped the nutes quite a bit from the first feeding... btw i have not watered with plain water since ive been feeding for about 1 1/2 weeks and ive only watered 3 times all with nutes..
yet i am still having the bigger fan leaves yellowing with small brown spots and the older 3 fingered leaves are doing the same thing, turning light yellow with brown spots.. once they are completely yellow i remove them from the plant..
heres some pics that are a few days old maybe 2 not much has changed other than i removed one of the bigger fan leaves after it had yellowed with brown spots.. and the leaf that was tied down right next to it started doing the same thing... humidity is always around 20% and only raises slightly after watering.. temps reach max 91ºF right before lights out(because i have to turn a fan off or else it gets to cold at night.) temps at night have dropped to as low as 56ºF (when i have forgotten to turn the fan off) but usually stay around 61ºF at night..
hmm well heres the pics
first 3 were just taken from leaves i removed just now... i was wondering... could it be lack of light causing this? i am only using 250w hps and 2 26w cfls.. i am still assuming its from a deficiency of some sort
