Feb 25th - Day 85 - Flowering is a full go and she’s looking crazier each day. Really exciting to see/watch how bud forms finally after smoking for so many years. Such an amazing process.
Anyways, she’s done stretching as far as I can tell so I removed the net because it makes the tent feel even smaller and I like being able to rotate her so no more net unless the bud sites start dropping down.
Main question for you guys today, should I remove even more leaves or did I remove enough? I chopped the majority of large leaves covering bud sites off, but there is still a handful of extra leaves and some that are bunched up. Check the photos and let me know if I should do another round of leaf removal or if she looks ok! Thanks and have a great Wednesday!

Noticed a weird speckling on some of the yellow leaves today…any insights? I figured the yellowing was from the nutes running out of my soil since it’s been about 30 days since transplanting her. Almost purplish but not sure if it’s worth concern or just normal fading of flower

As far as my research shows I’m guessing phosphorus deficiency due to low soil temps, 63-66 lights off. Other option could be my watering technique, which has been 80oz every four days or so depending on soil dryness and pot weight

You have a good looking plant. Your instinct is correct, there is a deficiency present. We need to know if you have fed yet(it sounds like you havnt). 4 weeks is definitely enough time to deplete the soil during the stretch. Also what are your run-off numbers? Ph and ppm

Here’s this guy. Im not very good at judging these things.

Looking back through your grows it seems like the leaf discoloration is common. Im not too good with soil knowledge. Ive had similar discoloration though and usually rectified it by watering to good runoff or a good flush. Im really loose with how i water and not very meticulous. Fill up 2 gal jug and water everything until it runs through. Took 2 years to figure out I needed to use new coco each time. Won the leaf discoloration battle. Now I’m fighting bugs and varmints battle. Looks pretty good by the way. Hows the WW?
@Solidgold91 I’ve fed her two small feedings so far besides giving her calmag and recharge every other watering since transplant. run off on the last watering was 1346ec and 6.4ph
Feeding on 2/20 —> 1.5ml calmag, .8gs open sesame, 4ml of big bloom, and recharge
Feeding on 2/24 (noticed the yellowing more so I bumped her feeding assuming she’s depleted her soil, hadn’t noticed the purple specklies yet) → 2.25 ml calmag, 1.3gs of open sesame, 4.5ml of big bloom, 2ml tiger bloom(first time adding)
@SausageMahoney the other plant I started with this one also did have a similar issue of yellowing which occurred after being in her soil for a while. I’m wondering if I’m underfeeding them once they’ve depleted their soils or if the temp/environment is affecting it or what. I’m considering a flush but if she is depleted, that might hurt her more. The two plants are the same age so I haven’t tried WW yet but she smells incredible

She’s hungry in my opinion. I moved away from FF nutes after my 2nd grow. I am not saying you cant get good results with them. I just didn’t like them and the salt bulid up/flushes that come with them. If you had a ~1300 ppm run off reading last feed water definitely dont feed again next water. As far as your deficiency goes somebody more knowledgeable will chime in. Your run off ph is right where you want it

WW is my household fav. Not too strong, good daytime smoke but you can still smoke on the couch and not “have to get up and do something”

1346 ec is somewhere in the 700-900 PPM range I think but I’ll still consider a flush when I water her on Saturday. I’d rather her have too many nutes than too little this early in flowering I feel like so I’m tempted to keep hitting her with nutes. I have very little reference of what a big feeding looks like for a fully mature flowering plant, without overdoing it.
Feel like I just stare at her thinking what do you want from me , just be happy please haha
I misinterpreted your intent. So you meant 1.3 EC. I thought you meant ppm’s
molybdenum - usually brought on by very cold temps making it less available.

The yellow/browning looks a little scarier today. Leaves are twisting oddly and looking sicker. Hasn’t spread much from the original leaves but they look pretty bad. Temps in mn are about to stay raised finally so hopefully higher temps help

I’m leaning towards the low temps and her needing tons of energy for flowering as the main culprit. A nutrient deficiency would most likely take longer than affect her and the twisting seems so similar to what my other plant experienced when it was in the tent too. I’m gonna remove any twisted leaves and put a seed mat under her during night cycles now

Main culprit is the root zone temps, but you’re adding a heat mat to resolve -Mo interference.

Day 89 of the grow, and day 29 of flower! She’s still yellowing up a bit but it’s not quite as bad as it was after removing the majority of affected leaves. Hoping the seedling mat is helping and just letting her do her thing!

Day 93 - Still yellowing 
I’ve accepted I most likely won’t be able to fix this before the end so just letting her do whatever at this point as I’ve run out of ideas. Thanks to the few who gave advice on it. Hoping she can still make it to harvest and be ok. Gave her a big feeding yesterday in case she was hungry, hard to tell if it helped or made it worse today. Thinking about another month out till chopping but who knows haha

Pic shows Zn def. Up top, banded effect that yellows from the tips and tips burn then curl. P & Ca uptake need Zn and Fe. You’re at the stage where K is ramping up demands. For this to happen it needs micronutrients with Mb, Zn & Fe or you’ll see the premature fading.
Looks like the heat mat helped stop the Mo def. I don’t see necrotic spots anymore.
