nutrient def???
Thank you CultiModerVatorAtor.
I think my action will be to give a very thorough dosage of calmag-bloom, ph'd to 6.5. Really water it in there. Because of the plants overall light green, and getting lighter, i want to feed them for sure.
I have a sweet ph meter and it has been helpful. BUT, Have you heard of ph fluctuating from the same source. I swear my well water has a ph of its own, a changing ph. Somedays it is 7.5 others it is 7.0. sometimes out of the hose it is 7.8 other times 7.1.
DO YOU RECOMMEND LETTING THE WATER SIT AFTER IT IS PH'ED? to make sure it does not change and is stable. Why would it stay at 6.7 for a few minutes then drop or rise? Or am i trippin?
That is all the backlog of confusion i have. your participation has cleared up much. If you were a tree you'd be a sequoia. A big umms! :thumbsup:

Use it as SOON as it's mixed.
Yup, well water is subject to seasonal and weather related fluctuations in pH and mineral content.
How many days to harvest do you have left? Plants SHOULD turn paler towards harvest; they are using up stored N and chlorophyll will degrade over time and not be replaced in its absence. If you have less than 3 weeks to go, don't worry abotu the paleness unless you notice other symptoms like dullness, spots, red central leaf vein, or cupped over leaves.

They are finishing their first month in a couple days. There is some spotting but it may just be left over from the earlier K deficiency. Those leaves are dying off. No cupped over leaves. Since it is a little early for the overall yellowish-green of the plant, would you recommend foliar feeding with anything? I have been going a little crazy with the foliars. it has been a cycle like this...mon-nitrozime, tue-probloom,wed-smc, thur-liquidlights,........and back through again. Is that excessive? Because of the week of wet weather i felt i needed to get them some foods, and since they started with spotting and yellowing i just thought they needed it more. I am not wanting to suffocate them but its so dry here that i think it dries right up.

SMC will form a barrier against bugs and water loss- and I suspect against foliar sprays.
I'd seriously just stick with calmag and bloom base for a couple feedings and see if the problem stops spreadiing.

Sounds good. Thanks. I am on page two of your IBL log and think i may need to call in sick today!
I will post picks of my ladies when they are finished!!
