sativa doing the claw... 32 days flower

take a look. got this and one other problem.

couple plants are doing the claw with new bud leaves. what does this mean? low ph? i've been trying to bring it up its at 6.1 now. what should i bring it up to? 6.8?

also alot of leaves are yellowing. its started as what looked to be a mag def... so i gave it more cal mag but wasn't working so then i find my runoff (soil) to be 5.4.

should i flush once more and feed it cal mag and fox farm bloom again?

and shitty pics from my LG dare....

Yeah. You can try flushing and feeding a few days later.

Plants do start to yellow normally a few weeks into flowering.

it is very common for leaves to turn yellow or brown and look like they're dying when flowering dont freak out anymore dont give it all that stuff u've been givin to try to fix the problem cause there is NO problem just do wat u were normally were doing

Yup, completely right, the buds are just sucking up the stored nutes from the leaves.

Your initial guess was close, that looks very much like Mg def, but remember, it takes alot of time for Mg def to actually turn the leaves yellow, the edges just stay light green for a couple of weeks.

The plant is just slowly using up the N in the leaves.

You should however raise the pH to an ideal 6.5-6.8 for maximum nute absorbtion. Also, don't worry about the claw, in some sativas water tends to accumulate in upper leaves, it works itself out nicely.

nice thanks for all the good replies guys. will continue on my nute schedule then.

do you guys feed any N during flower?

small traces, nothin like the veg state tho.

Plants look good...the claw can come from pH fluctuation or excess nutrients/nitrogen. I wouldn't worry about it too much.

If you do have a deficiency then I would advise against flushing right now...it will only make things worse to remove all the nutrients from the soil.

How is your plant doing if you dont mind me asking, I also have the claw and I am starting to get worried about it, Im about 31 days in
