5.0 soil ph! 10 days from harvest! huge yellow problem!!

should i let it go or should i flush with more food phed at 6.5? i couldnt tell what effect it would have if i got that range back in the 6's for the little yeild i have. all the leaves are straight p light green and most healthy leafs leading up to the top buds are turning yellow from the edges in. i deff know its a mag problem from that low but it could be an eveyrthing problem. let me know asap please

if you only have 10 days to go just flush it with plain PHed water 2-3 times over the next 10 days

a little yellowing this late in flower is normal anyways, try not to stress too much

Hi, They look great! No worries eh?! The previous poster said it all, do as they say and you'll be fine. Happy Gardening! GrowIT!

yah man i was gunna say the same thing!..yellow during the last couple weeks is normal!..but def. STOP feeding!..flush them out with a ph of 6.5 - 7

ya definitely finish out the 10 days with a good flushing. And if you dont have a digital ph meter it is definitely one of the most valuable tools you can have. Before I had one, the test strips and drop tester wasnt cutting it for me. I realized I was like 2.0 points off the ph I thought I had. It saved me a lot of stress trying to always figure out why my plants were going south, realizing it was always ph issues. Anyways good luck with the last 10 days

yeah thTs what i did i flushed out the funk and my ph is now at a 6.5. the ph pen is a hard tool for me to use because i do organics so it would be a hard tool to use. and they yellow, also i was noticing browning at the tips and like a blackening in between the veins and the edges. was crazy was deff locking quite a few things/oh and since organics i didnt think i need to flush btw

Although the N is not necessary and it really does not make sense to use Ammnn Sulf so I would run the watering with tap water and maybe a tbs of baking soda to 2-3 gallons of the flush H20. Potassium and stuff like that are needed to sustain the flower as you flush--- but if you make your soil the (last 10 days) which BTW is an 1/8th of her life very important one at that. Get the soil a little less acidic if you can. I always flush with Epsom salt or Magnes sulf before flowering and get the soil at about 6 in change and keep it in check via baking soda rather then sulfates at the end. You want Ripe Flowers with Fat Glands at harvest to gently prune and dry. No stress like Nute Lock out the last 10 years of your life.

key word organic.

i already flushed with distilled water.

last watering will be a full blown agressive organic feed if trics arent amber by next week

and i believe on the charts the diff between 6.0 and 6.5 is phos. and that little shift lookd valuable

You've used a bloom food low in N, haven't you?

It is NOT normal to lose alot of leaves by harvest. DO NOT FLUSH unless you're looking for below normal yields.

Your issue has nothing to do with Mg.

Excuse me? N is absolutely necessary if it means supporting leaves, which N does.

10 days from harvest? Closer to 10 weeks.... that plant is nowhere near ready. Can't believe all this banter and no one has pointed that out.

Basic lack of N during stretch is what you're seeing.

deal is its a 12/12 from seed, 31 days in and it showed first preflower. genetics are matanuska thunderfuck x og kush, which i believe are 2 dominant indica strains.94 days since sprout, minus 31 days til initial flower start gives me 63 days of flower so far. indica takes 8-10 weeks yes? 63 days in and i say thats 9 weeks? im deff due soon dont you think. and plants problem was 5.0 ph i was locking out major/secondary at a major level. so i flushed already.no telling me not to or to flush anymore thats the deal it happened.im thinking about hitting it with one more agressive bloom feeding in 3 days, as the pot is starting to lose its weight. i use a very mild food, pureblend bloom w mollases. and i dont thinks its nitrogen. i hit it with a very high dose of bat guano tea a few weeks ago at 5-9-4 so that should deff get me to the end especially if my bloom has a little bit and so does the calc mag plus. what do you think?

Sorry... but those things don't matter. Not trying to be an a-hole, but plants mature when they do, basically.

Check out the harvest tutorial under Harvesting == some good pics there of plants that are ready vs. not.

so how does it look? i let it go since i said i was gonna harvest it, trics are still cloudy and clear. def packed on alot of weight
