Bottom right corner, all those leaves have burnt tips. I’m not saying it’s bad, I’m saying you’re right where you should be.
what would you consider that?

Well shit... there is something going on there. You just made me get up to check my tent right now..lol. Right on.

Yes I saw the slight tip burn as well. any leaf clawing?
Have you top dressed at all with power bloom yet? I usually start top dressing with it at week 3ish.

I topped dressed 2 weeks before flipping, (I'm 3 weeks into flower right now) so it's been 5 weeks since, but with a 2.5.5 blend, not the Gaia 2.8.4 Bloom, I'm high in phosphorous so couldn't use the Gaia Bloom, ((I'm here because i used the Gaia 4-4-4 blend, some good shit) I also tossed in some bokashi and 1.5 cups of earthworm castings to the mix when I topped dressed. I'm gonna hold off top dressing for a little and just feed a lite unsulphured blackstrap molasses every week. See how it goes. I'll probably just end up top dressing again 3 weeks from now. Now that I'm thinking about it, I might have topped dressed in between that time, because 5 weeks is a long time to go without top dressing. Fuck I'm getting old.

Few things better than seeing your babies praying. Thank you all for the powerful knowledge. Caring for these guys has given me a world of peace when I needed it.
Week and a half into flower. Had the humidity too high (around 65 when i flipped and developed a strong smell of clothing detergent, dropped it to 50-55 all seems good.

I have a simple enough question and a harder one: how long does it take a plant to begin up-taking GG?…is it the same for 444 & 284?
I’m growing 3 clones ( from Trustfall, who is a rockstar), all 3 different strains, a white truffle x okie, a Grandi guava, and a fruity pebbles og.
They are all growing in the same concoction that I’ve basically used for the last 10+ grows and there is usually no significant issues, other than an occasional extra hungry strain that starts to lighten up earlier than I’d like.
Anyway, after 8 weeks of flowering: the fruity pebbles has grown without issue & looks great.
The Grandi Guava has also did fine, other than some droopy and clawing leaves….she was also the darkest green which could be pheno related but it’s probably b/c the N levels were a tad high. I can live with it.
The white truffle plant is showing a couple of issues that I’m totally confused with. To start, there is some significant yellowing around the leaf edges on a good portion of the plant and it’s not the normal tip burn you’ll see so often. It’s present at all levels of the canopy and happened quick…it started about 10 days ago and has gradually gotten worse.
Also, some of the upper and mid level fan leaves are fading out…..this doesn’t bother me as much as these plants only have another 10-12 days before chop.
So….what caused this yellowing around the edges? Too much of something ? Not enough of something? Heat/light related ?
I did experience some hotter than norm temps around that time.
I’d love to hear everyone’s opinions.
For the record, I’m growing in buffered coco, using both GG formulas, along with a few other dry organic ingredients……under 2 LEDs, both HLG, a 320w and a 150w Patriot. Space is a 2’x6’ closet, with a 4” exhaust and several homemade passive intake vents ( aka I cut 3 circular holes in the wall and dressed them up to look decent)..
The pics are from yesterday…..2 of the yellowing, 1 of a non-problem plant, and 1 group shot.
Thanks again guys.

Could be as late as 4 weeks and as early as 2 weeks for the uptake. Depending on the health of the soil. from the description... potassium. If you want a quick fix potassium supplement (that I'm finding works). This. Your flowers look amazing by the way. THC Farm rocks
3ml per gallon of water for living soil

What about crushed langebeinite ? It comes in a granular form, which takes weeks to break down…..but I crush it into a powder form, which makes it a bit more water soluble.
I was thinking of brewing up a tea w/ worm castings, molasses and langebeinite.
I usually give that combo mid flower but didn’t do it this time.

Let us know how that works. How do you crush the Langbeinite? Think I have the same stuff (Down To Earth).

how much do you use for the tea?
I’ll put a tablespoon of the crushed powder per gallon of tea. From what I understand, langebienite is quite strong and becomes available pretty quick…it also doesn’t change the ph.

That was my concern thanks. I'll give that a try next week thanks for the advice. I had top dressed a couple tablespoons 3 weeks prior and never crossed my mind to just add it to the compost/EWC Tea. I'd much rather use an organic solution but don't feel that bad if I have to use a bottle solution if and when I'm in a bind. I've seen plants growing in the same bed with some deficiencies while the rest cruising along, leads me to believe it's all strain dependant as to what their needs are at any given situation. In that scenario I would definitely use the organic solution over the bottle one in fears of overdoing it with the others, but like you I'm in separate pots so not to worried about it. Just the one being finicky, the other pot is cruising along just fine.

I’ve been having a devil of a time, these plants have had deficiencies the entire grow, 3 top dresses and still showing deficiencies of all three major nutrients. Trying to figure out what I’m doing wrong. Mixture was originally 1 cup of 444 for 5 gal pots, top dresses were 3/4 a cup of both 444 and 284 as well as half a cup of ewc. Forced to amend with natures nectar bottled nutes now

Try inoculating the soil with some microbes, via bottled/comsumer microbials (Recharge, Mammoth P, Tribus Original)<--- Any of these are really good on a weekly basis. That or brew some earthworm castings tea (very easy to brew). Also 5 gallon pots can only hold so much as far as organics is concerned, it's suggested that 15 gallon is a minimum with some folks. I'd at least do 10 gallon pots if I was just using dry amendments and even that is pushing it, at least that's what I'm seeing. We're trying to recreate mother nature's magic done over acres of land in small tiny tea cups (our 5 gallon pots). Really hard to do without some input on our side besides just adding water.

Genetics? Sativa dominant?
Amnesia Haze Sativa Dominant
Cannatonic 50/50
Nova OG Indica Dominant
Could it be the 1/3 of gaia i recently top dressed ? or the recent coconut watering? too much potassium ?
i also put the lights down a bit to 60k LUX
