Hey guys and gals! I haven't been round in a while - been busy with life and spending less time online. But I have been struggling with my current flowering plants and I just haven't been able to figure out what's going on. I could sure use your help. I've posted all the details and photos in the infirmary but I was hoping that some of my friends on here who're organic experts will drift over there and take a look. I'll post the link below. IF y'all prefer, I can copy the post and paste it into here. My thought was that placing it in the infirmary will make it more available to others seeking solutions to a similar problem in the future; but I'm fine posting it all in here as well. Just let me know your preference. It's a pretty detailed summary of my setup and the issue and the events leading up to the issue. Glad to be back and thanks to anyone that replies!

Here's a pic of the basic leaf symptoms but there's more to it than just this:

I think I see some light stress going on. These plants love light, but when it gets intense in flower, all the other conditions must be correct... Prior to this stage in a organic grow one should focus on building the soil biology (microbes, fungi) to get the soil food wed going and caring for the health and needs of the plant. When in flower she needs more Potassium and phosphorous... This is where inoculating with Mammoth P earl on in the seedling stage is critical IMO, as these same nutrients are very much needed during early root building...

Now as for our plants now......obviously continue the grow...... I have had some like this, the leaves rather similar and I just rode it out, and was still rewarded with quality flower.... I like enzymes as they break down organic matter and assist in making plant soluble nutrient available.... Mammoth P contains enzymes..... Sometimes your soil runs out of steam to keep up with a plants lifecycle..... If the biology is correct and not out of balance the microbes in the root zone can usually carry her through all stages of life, but when I see needs in the plant I will feed though very lightly, as I dont want to disrupt the processes of nature much.... I like using nutrients from NPK, their RAW line, as I can add what I want, when I want, it small doses.....

In flower under LEDs, the need for magnesium and calcium rise, but not so much nitrogen, though she still needs some, I use a CalMag that is made for flower and doesn't have nitrogen. I have never had to give a nitrogen feed, ever in my soil grows, and we are talking some very substantial grows of scale..... Rather I rely on the bacteria in the rhizosphere to do this for me when the plant requests what it needs via sending specific targeted sugars to microbes that will inturn give the plant what it wants, when it wants... In the case of your plants I would remove any leaves, rather I would allow them to dry up and fall off, if she is consuming nutrients from them, then dont take a food source away from her.. They do this in the wild, and thrive.......

Another product I love using is Optic Foliar Overgrow..... when in flower just hitting the leaves with this spray.....this helps give the plants a extra boost and keeps em running to the finish line....... Thats all we are trying to do here, get them to the finish line in the best health we can....
