I’m in my second week of flower. Strain is critical by royal queen. Day 16 my pH is 6.5 I’m in happy frog my ppm was around 300 and I added around 550 last time I fed. I did give it a bloom booster. Less then half a dose. Prob more towards a qrtr of a dose. Of Kool bloom by general hydroponics. I also gave it 3ml of cal mag. And that was 2 gallons of water. So even that was half a dose. I have an exhaust A passive intake. No CO2 And there’s two 300 watt Amazon lights for two plants ![IMG_20230707_182407](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/4X/8/a/d/8adba6aa7c26369708d07dbc024e906a564bb405.jpeg) ![IMG_20230707_182355](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/4X/7/4/0/740a69106ca986447084068a44f040b884c6a948.jpeg) ![IMG_20230707_182113](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/4X/9/e/e/9ee7e04206c3db8324874f287c6b103ec517d497.jpeg) ![IMG_20230707_182056](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/4X/f/1/d/f1df68d8105e4f3a8237920b6873589022f7b819.jpeg) ---

So which came first? The yellowing leaves? Or the burnt tips? ---

Nothing alarming, tad more then I would push for, but water only will give her time to absorb some of this. ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/4X/9/6/0/9607de28dfccc994ad49ab6feaa87a132511da43.jpeg) This looks like she either needs more bloom or she has a pH lockout. Since she has burnt tips, I’d scratch out nute pH lockout. If the damage was done before the feed, don’t worry. It takes a bit of time to get through it. Also the leaves will not look better. No don’t remove them until the damage stops spreading. It will just go to more leaves ---

My pH has been on point! For the last month at 6.5 steady ---

Then it’s probably just needed a kick of P and K. Let her get that good food into her system. Should stop spreading today or the next couple days. No idea how I wrote pH ---

Every four days roughly I water ten gallon pots always to run off and always check my pH. And ppm. They usually go through roughly 600 ppms every 7 days. The last two waters I threw in rain water. It was p.h of 6. Before that. I’d pH to roughly 6.8 I found that it always drops a little and I end up with 6.6 starting but the pen always ends and rest on 6.5 ---

Also I haven’t been giving nitrogen too much. It gets it in the cal mag a little. It’s 2-0-0 and last feeding I only gave tiger bloom no grow big. Tiger bloom is 2-8-4. ---

Your runoff TDS indicates you should be supplementing. I would be running 900 to 1,000 ppm of nutes biased a bit towards using the LKB. ---

A month ago I didn’t have a pen and I was burning my plants and in lock out. So since then I’ve been giving small doses. Because I don’t want to burn them 😣😥 ---

That explains the burned tips. Plants appear to be hungry now. You need a P,K heavy diet for the first few weeks of flower. Silica, cal mag, base nutes and LKB to around 1,000 ppm. ---

@Myfriendis410 I gave her silica last watering. And apparently not enough bloom boost. I didn’t give the tiger bloom last feeding. Which would be the base nutrient. I just gave it the pk booster. I was under the impression you don’t want nitrogen in flower. Also why add pk w the base nutrient if you adding 0-10-10 with the Kool bloom bloom booster. Is t that just toxic and too much at that point? Also what is lkb? ---

Liquid Kool bloom. And they still need nitrogen, just in lower amounts. ---

> [@PurpNGold74](#): > > Liquid Kool bloom And that’s your P, K jolt. Silica and cal mag at every watering too. Silica is always added _first_, followed by cal mag then everything else. ---

Are you sure those are 2nd week of flower? I don’t see any pistils anywhere. Looks a little like Preflower signs in the one picture. i stopped watering to so much runoff every time and I think it’s been working out better for my plants. I’m using ff of and I just hit day 21 of flower that’s why I’m asking if your sure of what stage your in. ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/4X/6/c/3/6c3b5afdf40f0989120490ab5122cc39baf927e9.jpeg) ---

You still need the nitrogen in flower. Just less than phosphorus. ---

Some people count weeks from the light flip, some count from when pistils appear. That’s the difference here. Usually a 7-10 day difference. ---

@Shaggy1987 This was the first plant about a week after flipping. Then here it is a week later at the end of week 2 the plant that we were discussing before only went through one week of flower. It is only it’s second day of the second week ![IMG_20230607_062254](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/4X/a/f/7/af7eb7a29fb5929658233fcca20d94d66cc840fc.jpeg) ![IMG_20230610_175334](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/4X/d/1/0/d1064d5366f87642b1318512a2e3f374924653b0.jpeg) [Next page](https://ilgmforum.com/t/2nd-week-flower-deficiency/102720.md?page=2)
