Just wanted to share from my first grow. The first one is green gelato. I had no idea about nutrient feeding, watering schedules etc. It started showing deficiencies early on but I supplemented with call mag, alg-a-mic. I made a rookie mistake and stoped feeding it nitrogen when it switched to flowering. Seeing some buds now.
Tbh, once my indoor autos hit bloom, I stop nitrogen.
The leaf issues you’re seeing aren’t from lack of N; N deficiencies start low and involve your leaves turning pale yellow/white.
Thanks! And you’re right, they did initially start low. I just removed a bunch of dying ones. There were a lot of learnings from this plant. I messed up the soil too! Weird pre fertilized super acidic compost shit I still don’t know what the best way to go about switching to bloom nutes tbh, learning all the time. I’m using the biobizz line and they explicitly suggest to continue the N fert along with the bloom one. As a nice experiment I have two other auto following along this one. They’re getting a much consistent feeding and they look pretty stoked.
sure, could be a bunch of reasons, at some point it was showing calmag deficiencies, at another stage I got those red stems, not genetic, dark blotches, phosphorus related apparently. And then there was the N deficiency…no idea what specific reason is causing the current yellowing/burning. But I’m not too concerned at all. Tough plants these…
Hi @blackthumbbetty, would you recommend stopping N nutes for the younger blooming autos at this point? Using only bloom + call mag etc? Both are flowering, the bottom one is in its 6th week, and the one on the right popped out 5 weeks ago.
