Just wanted to check and see if she’s on the right path, and to see if anyone spots any red flags, or if there’s nothing wrong that would be nice to know that everything is good. Thanks in advance : ) Sent from my iPhone using Grasscity Forum
There’s a slight bit of yellow leaves on the left side only one leaf is fully yellow about 7 others are like half yellowing and yesterday marked week 5 of flower so I don’t know if that’s normal or? but I’d say that the 95% of leaves are green and the other 5% are discolored though all the leaves have tiny tiny yellow tips from nutrient but but no buds are affected and no leaves have it more then the tip, any thoughts?

Looks good man. The bottom yellow leaves is the plant relocating its nitrogen stores. I personally don't like too much nitrogen during bloom and let my plants yellow up, its a good thing, but still an indicator of low nitrogen in the solution. The purpling stalk on the other hand, could be caused by phosphorous and/or magnesium deficiency. I see a little bit of interveinal chlorosis. Are you monitoring the EC and pH as a lower EC in the runoff will indicate that you need to increase its nutrient regime. The tips burning could be a sign of either nute burn, nute deficiency, or even possibly improper VPD. Some imbalance... I'd increase my calmag a lil just in case, and it won't hurt since you are a lil N-def anyhow, and maybe start adding some PK boosters.
Hey guys first thanks for the complements, and to answer your question Trojan I have been regularly supplementing with armor si (silica), calmag, as well as tiger bloom from the fox farm trio which had a bit of N in it I originally thought the yellowing and discoloring was due to me giving to much nutes, and I also heard that giving to much calmag locks out nutrients so I was confused and just decided to stop everything and give it ph’d water and give it a break for a week before I started giving the nutrients for the second half of the bloom cycle but I have these would these be enough? terpinator, blackstrap molasses, big bloom from the fox farm trio as well as the calmag and silica armor si I had mentioned before but I was going to start supplementing this week so basically tomorrow but the stems have been purple since early veg so I think it might be genetic and what is Ec and vpd exactly?

EC = electric conductivity measured by a cheap device to determine how concentrated you solution (and sometimes runoff) is. I think you need to add your nutes. That plant has the potential to become a very good yielder, but without the proper nutrient regime it will starve, kinda like its doing a bit. The silica you can drop, that's more important during development, or keep using it, no biggie. The calmag is a must, some people add more during flower; I try to keep it steady until the last week before flush where I start to ween it off. The purple might be genetic. But it might not be either. The molasses is for the microbials at the roots, idk what terpinator is. I think you should feed it that Big Bloom and calmag.
looking good! at this stage i am using FF tiger bloom once a week and the calmagic every watering or every other. i use filtered water though so the calmag is a must for me but it will keep your plants a nice dark green. what kind of lights are you using?
I’ve been using these every other water, the solution becomes really dark and acidic no ph down needed, so I thought to give it this solution every other water and then calmag and ph the next time just in case cause I don’t want to burn the buds I ph every time but with all the nutes it already goes town to 6.45 by itself Sent from my iPhone using Grasscity Forum
I also have a concern I have buds that are lower that are getting fat every day but some of the tallest colas seem to not really be growing so much are they to close or is it something else? Sent from my iPhone using Grasscity Forum
Those are some of the tall colas these are the ones lower down that are fatter for some reason Sent from my iPhone using Grasscity Forum
Does that mean there sativa and ya just growing long and tall Sent from my iPhone using Grasscity Forum
