White Widow 6 weeks into flower showing issues again

My WW is in a spacebucket with LED strips on the side and 4 17 watt 1600 lumen 2700k bulbs !0 inches away. My humidity and temp averages according to my Govee thermometer are 73.5F and 48.9% RH. Current temp and RH is 76.5F and 50.4%. I have a dehumidifier in my basement I can control humidity with. The temp of the area itself are generally around 68F and 50% RH. Last feeding was Tuesday using 3/4 gallon of water with Jacks Bloom 10-30-20 with 1/4 teaspoon of nutes per gallon and I dressed the soil with a couple pinches of Epson Salts. I watered a little late and the bottom part was pretty droopy. Soil is fox farm ocean forest and did not receive nutes during veg.

I was thinking it could possibly be light burn or nute burn or even nitrogen deficiency considering my formula doesn't have a lot.

Any help is appreciated.

If everything seems to be in order, then the next thing is to check is Ppm run off.

That is one thing I don’t have, a Ppm meter. Guess I should order one. I did forget to mention the PH of water with bloom is generally around 6.4 or 6.5.

My dear brother BLUE Ive too made those mistakes lol.

Ppm meter keeps you in balance. For example lets say you feed them today @ 700 ppm. The on Saturday you feed another 700. Without a meter you wont know once your 1400+ out of range for the plant/strain type. Trouble starts when your out of range.

AHHH now that makes sense. Well live and learn I guess. My next watering will only be Ph'd water then. I imagine it'll be calling for water in the next day or two. I'm thinking I have another three weeks till I harvest. I'm hoping she can hold on. My Ppm meter will get here next week along with the calibration fluid. I've loved learning about all of this stuff, it's addicting lol. I did some googling about WW and the proper Ppm. It seems there isn't a black and white answer, rather some people say don't go over 1000,etc. Do you have any recommended resource regarding this.

Every strains tolerance differ. I would just build up your levels slowly so that any thing can be easily dialed back some.

That makes sense, I’ll make sure I do that next time. I could always run an additional gallon through to help flush it out. Would that be advisable In this instance?

yes

thats how I feed.

Thanks for that video! A bunch of good info.

Well I just ran a gallon of pH water with apple cider vinegar down to 6.5 through her. Now we’ll see how she does and await my meter.

Checked on her today and the nute burn is hitting a lot harder now. Have a bunch of brown tips curling upward. I’m hoping it can hold out till harvest. I flushed with another gallon of water PH to 6.5 even though she wasn’t completely dry yet after the 4 days. Sharing some pics of my buds. There does appear to be some ambering of the trichomes.

Close ups

Just flush the nutes out of the plant. I had to flush with 15 gallons of water cause my plants are in 7 gallon containers

Oh damn that is so flushing for sure. I’m in a 3 gallon smart pot with probably 2 gallons of soil, I’m growing in a 5 gallon space bucket. So I ran a gallon through her last Thursday and then another today. Considering I’m closing in on week 7 of flower I’ll probably just continue to water without nutes until she’s ready.

flush her with 5 gallons. In soil it is harder to flush

Ah okay, well tomorrow I’ll have to put a few more gallons through and then let her dry out. I was just nervous to run into an over water issue.

If white widow is anything like white rhino it will prefer half strength nutes.

better than letting her burn to death

Very true. I’ll have to wait till the lights come on tomorrow and do it again.

Id go with 5 or 6 gallons then the next time its do for a water. Make sure you water till you got 20 percent that comes out then check your ppm in the runoff water. Hope you get the meter by then.
