Just Flushed- now what?

A few weeks back I posted a thread (https://www.rollitup.org/t/what-mineral-is-deficient.914903/); the reply was that I was probably under feeding.

I am growing in a Promix BX (General Purpose) medium in a 10 gallon cloth container; I was feeding with Botanicare Pure Blend Pro Grow 3-2-4 every two weeks (15ml/gallon/6 gallons). I upped the nutes to a weekly feeding cycle for the last two weeks and now the whole plant is showing this:


I don't know what the hell happened- looking at "Plant Problem" websites & threads either I am underfeeding or overfeeding- so I flushed the plant two days ago with 30 gallons of water just to make sure anything preventing nute lock was addressed.

The plant started flowering during the past week; I have Botanicare Pure Blend Pro Bloom 1-4-5 ready to add to the mix.

What do I do now?

Nothing will fix the effected growth. You will have to check the newest growth to see if the problems been fixed. What happened to the plant behind your ladies? It looks liked sloshed yellow, almost like something was sprayed on them that burnt them. If that's the case, perhaps the same happened to your plants. Did you foliar feed them recently?

So yea, check the newest growth, if they are healthy, and green your good. Start slowly reintroducing ferts back into her. The beginning of flowering is very important for ferts. You will get all of your budsites at this time.

Also I see insect issues in that one picture. Try neem oil, and they will stop eating your leaves.

The plant behind is an Akuba plant (it's a privacy hedge for my little grow area), that is the way it normally looks.

Newest growth looks healthy, just concerned how high up the leaves are yellowing. We are having a hot dry summer and the container is noticeable lighter only two days after flushing.

Should I do a mixture of the Botanicare Grow and Bloom at this transition period?

Probably not sun bleaching- I only get about 4 hours of direct sunlight/day, everything else is filtered light through a high/thin canopy of pine trees. Now that I think of it (and this same problem happens every year come late July) could it be not enough light? The plants are very vigorous in their growth until mid summer, then "the blight" hits.

Not likely, a plant without enough light merely stays smaller. It stays at a size that it can feed itself with the available light.
