Wondering what deficiencies I’m starting to get.

I’m in week three of flower and I’ve noticed some of my leaves are starting to turn yellow and some of the veins are starting to get yellow chlorosis as well in an early stage but I can’t determine if it’s from nitrogen or if it’s an iron issue. Most of the leaves are still green but only the veins are starting to turn yellow and I don’t know if that’s just a genetic thing or if I have a bigger problem other than the yellow tent and some of the leaves are also yellow. some of the veins do it but the majority are fine. Other than those two issues I’ve been noticing they’re growing beautifully. Is it a nitrogen or iron problem or is it a magnesium problem

hope the chart helps you out

It might be a potassium issue cause the n and p levels are a little higher than normal but not enough to cause a deficiency as it is lacking something. I’m wondering as well if it might be the soil compacted cause it seems to go through a gallon of water every three days. 6 weeks to well see.

How do them bubble drips work I seen em and was curious how much liquid feed they required. Seemed like a lot with the air stones and pump they come with

I just went ahead and cut two inches off all the lower colas and just letting them branch out the top. I might of lost a lot of ounces but I’d rather cut a loss then take a total loss. We’ll see in six weeks

Well now! That I figured it out, it’s going good. I check the ph at 5.7-6.0 everyday.
yeah the bucket basically comes with everything you see comes with the ring the rocks two buckets comes with the pump and hoses. On the side of the bucket it’s got a full level indicator on the hose and light assembly. And what I found out that works for me clone that I put in were just a couple roots on the bottom and a couple roots on the top just basically give it a little bit of water everyday if it doesn’t takeoff every day top water it even with the ring.

Here’s what they look like beginning of week six. They’ve blossomed out nicely. I just wonder what I can add to their feed to make them a little thicker.

Honestly the spider farmer 4000 is one bad ass piece of sunlight. I love it just not in a closet. I think that’s what’s yellowing the fans and some sugars

I’m running at 65%now and my par is way more than 900 in the corners and more than it needs in the center so I might tune back down to 50.

Looks like you had a bit of a Mg deficiency and also burnt them a bit. You don't mention the substrate or your nutrients. Your buds look small for 6 weeks they looked more like 4 weeks. You don't mention what genetics you're running and some could be that too. It could also be a mix of several things.

It grows this way. I had a magnesium issue early on in veg because of the soil I had to use. I usually use Great Lakes soil company but Covid stalled delivery. i gave it azomite and it straightened itself out. My ph averages 5.8-6.1 They love it more acidic so it helps. Even if I left my closet door open all day it wouldn’t make a difference with the light cause I’m using a spider farmer 4000 and it puts out way over 1800 par on 80 percent on center and 12-1300 in corners in my closet. I have to use it half way at 55-60 percent just to not waste or fry the photo. I’m thinking that’s what’s yellowing the big fans like it is. The tips were burned from the soil nutrients cause miracle gro is notorious for it. It’s doing better then It’s mother did and she looked even worse but the weed was amazing. It takes almost 15-16 weeks for this strain whatever it is and I have to wait forever on it. It was originally suppose to be dragons breath from Pacifics but I learned real quick that seed banks are all full of shit and sell bag seeds for loads of bucks. It grows a million foxtails and they all swell out the last week. It smells like sour diesel and peaches and cream smashed together.

I use molasses in soil and adapting to the buckets, with the flora series micro, grow, bloom, since I change the buckets every 10 days or so. Soil grow is different though. Here’s a pic of the veg tent! It’s a jungle in there! Lol

Led is the way to go now days. Who would of though they would finally catch up. I should be good then. I thought about pulling it at 75% to see what it would do but I had it at 65 and it pulled 340 watts and it started fox tailing the tips so I went back to 60. There as long as my arms now and the buds are growing out as they thicken. I’m still a little worried about the light stress or potassium issue she’s having. For some reason I have to give a banana bath about every other week cause it’s not In taking the potassium like it should but it’s taking other nutrients fine. I had to hammer the buckets, loosen the soil and injected banana peel juice to the roots and so far it fixed it. I might go Gia green 4-2-8 and use there bloom as well or black magic next round. Alaska says it’s 0-10-10 but I’m starting to think it’s more like 0-10-0 cause there’s no k intake at all seems like. The coffee grounds are all the ladies need for nitrogen so I just amend it in the soil. Look how wide they are at the bottoms And tips

I have to get me some of those hydro buckets. They look a lot easier to maintain and I wouldn’t have to worry bout soil as much. Anymore it’s all tainted with spider mites and fungus gnats. Even organics
