Plants are doing great overall but my best one is showing nitrogen deficiency 50 days into veg from clone. They are in dr earth home grown mixed w pro mix vegetable and herb 50/50 and 1/3 mg perlite I've lost like 10 bottom leaves so far but new growth is vibrant and healthy Here is a full sized pic
There are alot falling off tho, Should I be worried I just switched to 12/12 yesterday. And if not, when should I worry?
I dont the only thing I have with nitrogen is earth juice cal n mag. And I watered with that about 5-6 days ago at 1/4th strength
The inner leaves dying is from receiving not enough light. I had this same issue when i would beg my larger plants under t5s. The bottom leaves would start dying and i thought there was a nute def but there wasnt. If the leaves do not receive enough light they die off. The plant sees no reason to keep a solar panel if its not actually doing anything. Your plants look very healthy and i can see nute burn on the tips....
Oh yea there is a slight burn. The dr earth soil is fully amended. So what you are saying is there is no need for additional nitrogen? Or do I need more light? I'm using Mars 300 like 140 actual watts
Yes youre not looking at a deficiency. More light is always better but i wouldnt worry about it. Look into lollipoping. Youre right before flowering so now would be perfect. In the end its just not enough light hitting that far down. I wouldnt worry about it. Lollipop plant, flip flower, and watch the big buds form at the top
