Growing but not drinking.

I got this pheno that’s just not drinking like she should. Weird markings on the mid leaves too.
grown from seeds. Ethos Crescendo
C25 soil
Ph- 6.55
Flora nutes per schedule
900 PAR
3 days since flip
RH 60ish day and night (gonna bring that down shortly)
Temps- 83 day/69-70 night
The lower and new growth look good.
I think I’m giving her everything she needs, but she has not drank since 3/09 (today is 3/21)
Just a bad pheno?...

Yeah. Kinda weird man. ... she’s growing, but I don’t know how. She’s as big, or bigger as her other 29 strain mates. .... I just made that phrase up.
Oh, so they're all from seed. I didn't catch that. They'll all be a little different than most likely. If it's just that one I wouldn't worry much. I was worried that all your plants were like that.

Is that the first one you feed when you water them?

Ya, my first though was pH when I saw those white spots like things.
Yeah, we cleaned the slate, and started 3 new strains, ... I’ve already cloned the best 2 looking moms from each for the next round. I’ve just never seen one grow this much without feed for that long. It’s close to needing feed, but not quite yet. Most of my plants eat every 3-4 days, but not this one. ... she def will not make the clone grade.

Ya, I'm curious too.

Prob overkill, but my daily routine is check ever one with the moisture meter, drop the flag on the ones that need feeding, feed, check every one I fed with the Apera to see what the Ph buffered at, suck up the waste, and then re-set the flags and record the date they got fed, and at what ppm/ph/Rh/temps, etc. That way I can look back and see the feed history, and ph trends.

... and I don’t feed all 96 at once. I use a meter to see what needs what that day. I may have 12 one day, and 36 the next.
I only asked that, because when I was using Earth Juice I would feed plants in a row, and the first one got super green and was obviously getting the most nutrients. So I started to try and change the rotation so they all got the same.

EJ has particulates in it though and doesn't fully dissolve, so the first plants got a little more than the last when I fed them.

I know that's not what you're using, but it's just an idea.

Flora liquid is pretty consistent I’ve found. I let the Micro circulate in the 55 gallon tank for a few min before I add Gro and Bloom. Then I’ll go fuck around for about 15 min as it all circulates before I start feeding.

That basically makes my last post worthless, lol.

That theory doesn't make sense now, lol.

had the same issue- I fixed the yellowing with epsom salts(well I think it did)sprayed them,I also used CMX 4.0.0(Flairform) and added to the water when feeding as I did read somewhere iron is the issue as well , it did not effect the growth or buds as the yellowing only effected the mid leaves, I also grow in coco and hand water

Did you experience a long spell between needed feedings?
