Hey everyone just had a question.. I wanted to know why some of my white widow hairs are turning brown at its top? At first I thought it could be light burn but my main stem has no browning at the top it’s just some of my lower ones. I have attached some pics !

Hey guys these past couple of days I’ve been noticing my bottom to mid range leaves turning yellow ! Should I be worried about this? I have a auto fem white widow and it’s harvest time is 11 weeks, I’m currently on the middle of the 5th week. I have attached some pics.

calcium spots and magnesium deficiency, plus the lower leaves that are dying is because of a lack of nitrogen. What is your water source? Tap water needs to be left 24-36 hours for chlorine evaporation before using.

I suggest flushing with ph'd water to 6.5. I think the fox farm soil you are using though could be a little acidic so it's worth checking the ph of your runoff too and working out the ph feed from there.

If your ph is out of whack then your plants wont get the required nutrient parts

My water source had been slacking recently I’ve been using tap and haven’t been letting it sit out to get the chlorine out I just PH test it. I lasted watered it yesterday around 4 am but it was a little over a half a gallon of PH tap water. Tonight I will be buying spring water (ph tested 6.5) and using my fox farm sledgehammer to do a flush. I heard adding molasses helps the plant should I do a little of that in the flush as well?

you still have 4 or 5 weeks to go or something like that right? Regular flush, don't add anything to it. Wait until the soil dries out real good before feeding again. 50% of what it says on the nutrient instructions is what I would suggest. Add more as the plant shows improvements during feeding. I don't use molasses but I read that most people choose to use it only the last few weeks.

I did the flush and did a full feeding of nutrients yesterday so I’m hoping my plant will bounce back! Are the brown spots I’ve been noticing on my leaves the calcium deficiency? Should I buy some cal-mag? These are the nutrients I’m currently using.

Yes looks like calcium def.. ive run in the same issue with 2 of my 7 girls. Yes id suggest using cal-mag because if you let them go it will get worst.. look also at your nutrients most likely one of the product have calcium in it maybe add a little more of that one.. I use GH flora series so not sure which one it is for the FF nuts..

And I’m not home but when I did look at some of the fox farm nutrients I did notice calcium on the labels. From what I remember I saw it had 1% of calcium.
