That could potentially be the issue. Id just go back to using cal/mag and cut out the molas, most knowledgeable growers say not to put in molas as it's only real purpose is to feed microbes in a brew.

Check out the jacks hydro topics as they will destroy a lot of the ppm ratio myths and nute hype saving you hundreds while increasing yield. Honestly, one of the best things you'll get out of this forum. You don't have to use the jacks line ofc.. but the knowledge is priceless.

Ok I guess I will cut out the molasses and go back to the cal mag. I thought I could tell a little difference since I started using the molasses as trichomes are starting to show up more and more. I have some plantation organic blackstrap molasses on the way cause that's the kind I wanted but had to order it. But the kind I have now is grandmas unsulphered molasses. But I will cut out that the next watering and do the cal mag and see what happens.

The effects won't be immediate and what I've suggested may not be the issue but it's a safe bet to always use calmag over molas.

Looks great dude. Any slight discoloration is always going to occur as the plant grows. Looks pretty pristine

You only got 4 weeks or so left.....
Just my humble opinion. Not a horticultural master. Dont fix anything till you get a good sign of deficiency
Lasthing you want is to hurt the plant by "fixxing" it...... now im not saying it looks textbook or anything. But you get what i mean


If the plant REALLY needs somthing it will take it from the lower leaves (for the most part)
Unless it is an immobile element (cant remember if this is quite right) iron ect it will show in the tops.

So unless you got a bunch of intervainial (spelling? ) chlorosis. Or yellow leaves on the bottom dropping off . Shes just using up some stored nutes.
Is it optimal to the degree .. no... does it have to be?.... sure if your trying to wring her for all shes worth lol but sacrificing taste imo

I wait till i can positively identify deficiencies after makeing sure its not a simple ph problem
Or nute lock out.... then deficiencies. ...

Like i said its just my 2 i have no phd lol

Just curious but why do you use distilled water? I'm starting to question my R.O. system, and considering going to tap water.

I have a white widow that 4 1/2 weeks since the switch to 12/12. Had 7 weeks of veg. Using 400 watt hps for flower and 400 mh for veg. She is in Fox farm happy frog soil, 5 gallon square pots. Temps are mid 70s with light on and mid 60s with it off. RH is around 25 or 30. I'm using the fox farm trio for nutes and I just started using molasses. My last feed was full strength with 3tsp big bloom and 2tsp tiger bloom and 1tbsp molasses. I think she's really looking good. Some trichomes have appeared over the last week or so but nothing to heavy but you can definitely see them. But want to see what you guys think on how she is doing! Thanks in advance for any responses

I’m only new to growing so I obviously don’t know what everyone’s on about? I think they look awesome! Well done and just keep doing whatever you’ve been doing:)

Agree
I actually like my girls to be deficient at harvest(in nitrogen anyway wi t h everything else healthy)

In my head nature flushes the plants with the fall rainy season so the trees can prepare for winter by using up the stores in the leaves..

When they drop (and provide compost for next year) they prepare the tree for winter.

So the last 2 (ive flushed for longer)weeks im a flusher (im going to hear it now)
I like my girls to show her fall colors (beautiful btw)
Nothing better then seeing some of the colors on otherwise totally HEALTHY plants

Just my 2

i like using distilled water bc it gives you a true baseline ppm of 0. Therefore, I know everything that’s been fed to my plants.
