Goodmorning. I'm looking for some advice about one of my girls. She is going unto flower. When she was in veg. She was lush green.. grew Awesome(still does) but The past couple of weeks, she's looking less green pale then all my others. I give it Flora micro ,Flora Bloom cali ,magic. I don't check my ph ( i will start) But my other girls look Beautiful. I just don't know if this one's a little hungry for more nitrogen or what or if it is a pH problem with this one plant. Thanks for any help!!

My guess is them going into flower they need more fertilizer and also make sure your pH in the rootzone is around 6.0-6.2 with flora/maxi nutrients during bloom especially, shoot for the 5.8-6.0 range during veg. Remember in mid/late flower to adjust your feed with stretch being over with, they usually don't eat as much once the plant is in mid/late flower and you risk overfeeding.

You need to closely monitor pH as it literally regulates if your plants eat or not, I had some plants in bloom go yellow looking and I had to not only boost the amount of fertilizer but also raise my pH quite a lot to get the rootzone up there, as you dump fertilizer into the pots the pH can go acidic over time in the rootzone itself, especially with limited runoff which I don't have an issue with, but many do.

In my case my runoff was 5.8 pH (orange with pH drops/strips) and so I gave a heavy feeding at 7 pH (dark green) to get my rootzone to around 6. Sometimes it might take 2-3 high pH feedings to get the rootzone wher you want it. Just adjusting the solution to 6.0 then feeding isn't going to correct an acidic rootzone, it will simply drop in pH once it absorbs into the roots with the other acids.

Once your pH is dialed you will see your growth explode like never before and realize how important it is. :)

If you do a slurry test and your ph is off grab and keep some herculean harvest from nectar on hand. One heavy water/flush with that will correct ph and make most of the locked up unusable salts available again.

I don't really see burt tips so you likely need to up your feed slightly or add some calcium nitrate and magnesium sulfate.

I like NOTG but hate their prices. :lol: I bet the herculean harvest (liquid bone meal)helps due to its alkaline nature. Also being organic it's not going to go straight into the plant.

It binds/chelates and makes locked up stuff food again, and frees up the rest to flush away. Correcting ph quickly and not leaving your plant with no food because of a flush

EDTA, DTPA, EDDHA are more chelating agents, bone meal is simply phosphorus and calcium. It definitely will provide your plant with phosphorus and calcium on a slow-release basis. If they stated that in their brochure or something they're kinda pulling your leg bro.

A couple good tips in your other thread. Keep one thread for one problem and you will get all the info in one spot instead of spreading it all over multiple threads.
