Hello there friends,
First time grower here, and I have a few massive blue dream "bushes". Both of these ladies happily grew over 6' tall with many branches even after FIM'ing, up until a few weeks ago. Now they are both displaying what I think to be a nitrogen deficiency. They also appear to be beginning to flower, with hairs developing and trichomes sprinkling the tops of the colas.
All of the colas have these funky lime green leaves, with dark veins at the center. They also feel kind of...odd...to the touch, compared to the darker green leaves. I have been diligent about PH'ing the water to ~6.0, but am growing outside and have received rain showers here and there.
After doing a bit of research, I went and bought an NPK testing kit to confirm my suspicions. The two tests that I did showed the P and K coming up as abundant, while the N showed that it is depleted.
I suppose that leaves me with two pressing questions:
Does this indeed look like a nitrogen deficiency?
If it is a nitrogen deficiency, should I try and correct the problem while my plants have begun to flower?
I read that nitrogen can hurt the plants as they are flowering, and am hesitant to make my problems worse by adding a lot to the soil. So far I have used Fox Farms trio and CalMag at half strength every other watering, and they seemed to enjoy it.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
