First time poster, long time lurker. I am just getting back into growing after a few year break. So far, all has been relatively good with my 3 plants (OG kush from seed, star tonic clone, and blueberry clone). However, just in the past few days (day 15-17 of flower) the blueberry plant has begun to develop some browning on the fan leaf edges (see pics). I have looked around a bit and saw some similar posts, but most that I came across were more of a yellowing issue. I was hoping to get a few opinions on what could be going wrong. I'll try to give as many details about the grow as possible...
Medium: roots organic soil (haven't been very impressed with this stuff, will probably go back to ffof). 5gal containers.
Lighting: 600w HPS (6" blower for exhaust/cooling) and 4x Cree CXB3590 3000k (passively cooled, added day 1 of flower). I rotate the plants every 1-2 days.
Nutrients: BioBizz line: bio-grow, root juice, and bio-bloom. I try to feed every other watering. I started in veg with the root juice and bio-grow at 1/4 dose. Had some deficiencies in early veg but these went away as I started to ramp up the dosage per feeding. For flower I started with a 1:1 ratio of bio-grow:bio-bloom, then to 1:2, and most recently 0.75:3.
Water: Tap. I do not know the ppm unfortunately. As for pH I only have the strips and do not test every watering, when I have tested in the past it seemed to be between 6.5-7.0. Next watering I am going to record pH going in and coming out. (I will be investing in some better water testing equipment next grow for sure)
Temp/RH: Lights on: 75F 44% RH Lights off: 62F 50% RH
Late veg / early flower I was having a problem with low temps (57F) and high humidity (85% RH) at night. No PM thankfully. Leaving the exhaust fan on at night has seemed to solve the problem for the most part.
This plant has always lagged behind the others when it came to watering. It takes an extra 2-4 days to dry out. Not sure if this is just the plant or if I should have added perlite to the soil. The other plants seem to be doing just fine though. There has been a time or two when I watered it lightly when it didn't need to be, because I was short on time / wouldn't have the opportunity to do it the next day. Could overwatering cause this discoloration?
I have probably forgotten to include a few things, please let me know if more details are needed. Any thoughts or opinions would be greatly appreciated!
