My plant..

[mand]

Hello Kush . Well I wish I could help you with the problems, but to be honest I'm hopless with plant troubles, that's why I never really reply to those kind of threads .

One thing that does spring to mind though ........ How long has she been in flower now?.

Hey there, Mand.

In regards to your not knowing the problem; I understand fully, believe me. I've been sitting here for the past week trying to figure it out myself -- I have ideas, just no definite leads. This is possibly the one thing I dread about growing, to be honest. A plant can't verbally discuss it's afflictions, so all we can go on is what we see, and from my perspective that's not a good view.

Thought I'd throw a couple more pictures in here. Slightly better, not very much so, though.

The overhead shot's a bit dark, but it gives you a semi-decent view of what the damage looks like from above. Perhaps one of you could provide some insight on the issue -- deficiency, lock-out?

First one's the left side of the plant, second the right [ obvious, kind of ]. Third picture's a better lit revised version of last night's shots [ the full plant ]. You'll notice I took a little time to remove excess foliage deep below the 'canopy'. I did this so the plant could concentrate more thoroughly on the growth shoots and their buds. I kept those few that managed to establish themselves above all the others -- those that have a fair number of calyxes on them.

Oh, I just realized what I forgot to add!

Judging by the earlier pictures -- those in this thread -- and my memory, she's been in flowering [ a 10/14 cycle ] since about the 13th of last month. That'd put it at 40 days [ ~5.7 weeks ] today -- I think.

Still high even though the holiday's over with.


And now come to think of it I don't believe I've ever given the plant magnesium, or at least fed it some inadvertently. The fertilizers I use come without it, but include just about everything else.

A couple more shots.

These were after I had foliar fed with some RO water mixed with diluted Epsom salt [ 1/8th teaspoon to a liter ] and 15-30-15 [ 1/8th teaspoon to a liter ]. She shaped up almost immediately after wards -- extended more leaves, improved in color just a bit.

Still, I'd really like to find out what the exact cause of the chlorosis is.

Closer inspections on some of the bud tops / upper branches.

Anyone have any ideas on this problem? I included a somewhat better quality picture of a primary affected area; keep in mind that it's like this in other spots on the plant, too.

The pH has been a little on the acidic side, but the overall health of the plant hasn't severely diminished which I'd expect more from a full blown lock-out due to acidity. I've got three gallons of water set aside for a flush in the event that this is the issue, though.

Not to be a dick, but..

Bump.

Can any share their knowledge on this yellowing issue, maybe someone's experienced near exact plant symptoms similar to those present in the photo above?

[Kush Over]

Guess I'll throw a post up.

I managed to pull the plant out of the slump it was in -- a lock-out from acidic soil. The soil pH is now stabilized and it's been taking up nutrients properly for the past three weeks. The bud growth has been quite an enjoyment to watch.

Below is a single photo and a very short clip titled 'Nineteen Days'. As the name implies it's a time lapse from the April 21st shot to today -- May 9th.

Sorry man, I never saw this thread.
It looks like it was a ph problem. LOL!!!! jk

Hello Kush , I have to say you have a very unique little plant there love

Seems to me that she is putting her energy it to bud development, I really wouldn't concern myself with the leaves.
You're doing this all under fluorescents, just lmagine what you could do with an MH/ HPS conversion ballast

Oh I wouldn't worry about replies on here, they are a bit slow just lately were grow logs are concerned. Keep the grow log going because I can't wait to see her harvested
