Not sure what happend

Good morning Growmies, its been a while since ive been on here i hope everyone is well. So i have an issue going on with my outdoor grow. Im 5 weeks into flower (1) Divorce cake,(2) Banana jealousy, (1) Blueberry kush. Im using Happy frog soil with Humbolts secrets nutrients. As soon as it hit week 3 i started adding the flower stacker and all seemed ok until a week ago and tge plants all started losing leaves and what you see in the pics. I did a light flush on the Divorce cake yesterday and a light feed. (First photos.) Ive kept my PH at 6.5 going in i havnt checked the ppms since they started flowering cause i havnt changed anything other than adding the flower stacker. So my question is can they be saved? And if so, what can i do to save them? I was thinking about just using magnesium sulfate but ive heard its ruined plants as well as helping others. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Btw im using the whole line of Humbolts secrets. Started with half and never using as the max.

Plants look fine. Normal fade in flower. I would do some selective thinning to avoid WPM and bud rot.

I’ll jump in too. It is normal for a plant to start fading at this point. She is about done growing and will now focus on ripening flower.

Yeah im aware of the fading but allt of the leaves are twisting and crunchy and spotting. From what ive read it seems like there having deficiencies but from what you guys are telling me thats its normal so ill prey it dowsnt get worse and compromise the yield. Thanks for jumping in.

They are from what I understand the fan leaves are doing whats normal in that they’re deficient in nutes because the buds are taking them away from them and using them to ripen My BBM has been doing that and continues too…I also was at first alarmed even though I darn well know this happens every year at harvest :rofl: I just get paranoid and dont want anything to go wrong…I would do what @Myfriendis410 recommends and trim off those “extra” fans especially those curled up dead ones as those will attract pests …In the lower right side of the picture it looks like the fans have a bunch of white dots or spots those look like spider mite or pest damage…Give her a good trim!!

You know thats funny you say that cause i got a new ppm pen and my numbers were alreay at 1400 but i fed them more and it solved the problem. Now im closer to 1600 and they love it lol i guess they were hungry. Thanks for the reply i appreciate the feedback. Nice to know someone else was going through the same thing. “Unfortunately” lol but yeah looks like about another 2 weeks till harvest! Cant wait!

I guess my bro-science :rofl: isn’t the most accurate I kind of do the Ol` “eyeballing” it… …I dont have any pens or meters …I keep saying I’m going to get at least a PH pen …someday… I get some yellowing mostly when one is supposed to @ harvest time…But who knows maybe if I get my PH in the correct ballpark my buds will be even better…???..I do a bit of frowned upon things I guess you’d say like using muni-tap water…not R.O. I mix HF and coco and I dont meter anything…But its working pretty good…like I said I’m going to get a PH pen for next year…Just out of curiosity Im sure its off a bit!

Well im not the best grower to be giving advice lol but i do know the PH pen helped me out big time. As of PPMs i do use it for my idoor sometimes but i usually just go by what they tell me (how they look) and i usually have successful grows. The ph pen helped alot though cause you can balance it out and you always know what your feeding your girls. I use regular tap water i usually let it sit for a day or 2 to desolve alot of the clorine. I just use soil FF and add castings,perlite, and start feeding after about 8 weeks or so once all the nutes in the soil are gone. Im havesting this weekend, well most of it lol i have a cannatrol so i fill that up and hang the rest.

Hey man I listen and read all advice …Theres always something to learn if not get new ideas from other growers or make up my own sometimes inspired by their formula…I hear ya on tap water though…I use rainwater the first few weeks to months depending on how much I store that year…Then when that runs out I use muni water (tap)The muni water here doesn’t use actual chlorine anymore but arguably worse Chloromine from what I understand its a combo of Chlorine and Ammonia…I let it sit in the sun for a few days too…who knows…For the past few years Ive been thinking on getting a cheapy RO kit for the outdoor spigot…?My plants dont show any signs of damage from the water although I know its hard water and the PH Im sure is not 6.5.
