Is she a goner this late in the game?

Was late to fixing a ph lockout and she ended up with all of this. Pretty sure its a terrible calcium deficiency. Is the flower still salvageable even with this condition or am i gonna be screwed?
On week 9 almost 10.
Last watering had ph 6.2 and 1325 ppm runoff.

It will make it.
I have had some awful looking plants but they always make buds.
It doesnt look that bad. New growth will come if the plant needs it.
Toward the end many do this anyway no matter how good the conditions.
And a bit of struggle makes more resin so there’s a perk.

Ride that pony to the ranch. Too far in for worry now.

Sorry, bro. I kind of know the feeling. I just harvested a white widow and an Acapulco gold. Got a BUNCH of great bud off of them then didn’t dry it properly before I put it in the grove bag to cure and MOLDED like a pound and a half of bud. Throwing that away was like getting stabbed in the heart, bro. :joy::joy::joy:

Oooooh man. I cannot even imagine. Im so sorry to hear that happened to you. That is devastating Im sure to say the least.

This is my first grow so im trying to take it in stride and i was testing runoff for weeks but didnt know i was in a really bad zone and its been a few week battle with flushing and trying to get her as much calmag between waterings…just dont know if anything i do is helping, its getting worse so probably not. Guess ill just see how she is after curing. Keep my fingers crossed.

I am also in “the process”, bro.
The process is this: every subsequent grow gets better.
You ain’t failing. You’re working the process.
Welcome to the board, dude.

Hang in there.
Sometimes things go off track - day 40 of 12/12. - Not a picture of health

I cleaned her up, figured out the lights and fed her right. Did okay when it was time for harvest

Your words mean a lot. Im trying to tell myself that. Im just a perfectionist that takes everything super personal when shit like this happens lmao but i dont wanna get discouraged and keep going and learn what i did wrong and how to fix it. I know there will be more mistakes made and lessons to learn just hate its at the expense of our plants.
Sending good vibes your way sir.

Wow, looks great to me! Nice turn around. Thank you for sharing and giving me hope. :blush:

My problem was soil ph and I unknowingly let it go on far too long, trying to right this ship now. We’ll see. :crossed_fingers:

I’ve had some that almost all the leaves coming out of the buds turned yellowish/brown and went crispy before I chopped them. By the time I dried and trimmed it you couldn’t pick it out of a pile by looks or tell it by taste. There’s a long way between the best of the best and what’s bound for the trash and there’s a lot of good stuff in between.

Yeah, a decent amount of the sugar leaves are doing that unfortunately. Good to know that directly might not affect the outcome, or at least less binary.

The flowers seem to look good to me. Starting to get some purple leaves coming out of my purple punch flowers. I just was hoping she wasnt all lost.

Yeah , definitely finish the plants out should have some nice buds. 9 weeks I’m assuming auto’s My experience with autos 1300 to 1400 PPM might be a little high. Also water or feed to a good run off to avoid salt build-up. Just my thoughts good luck . :v::+1:

Yes. Purple punch auto. Ill just keep an eye out then on runoff ppm and just make sure it doesnt go below 1000 next week or so?

I stopped growing in soil due to the problems with PH and PPM. Coco has been much easier for me.

Yeah im realizing the roller coaster ride synthetics are giving me. Already doing more research on making a super soil, seems like it could be a better route for me in the future.
