Live Stoner Chat Hi everyone, my brother Happy Horticulturist sent me here :)

^^^
He was feeding 100ml Sensi Bloom A&B per 50 litres tap water (so 2ml per litre or half strength, full strength being 4ml per litre) at around 6.3 pH in Plagron Light Mix.

That was a couple of weeks ago, when they had already started flowering. He messaged me and told me the lower leaves were going yellow. They look like they'd been going yellow for at least a week or two. I told him to up the feed by 50% immediately.

He's been feeding them now 150ml A&B (so 3ml per litre / advanced nutrients recommend 4ml per litre but being they're autos I wanted to stay a little lower.)

Now about a week or so later he's telling the a couple of the plants lower leaves are turning from yellow to purple.

This tells me he should up the feed to 3.5ml per litre now. Let me know what you think.
 
have issues with a few of the plants: purple on the leaves.....Phosphorus deficiencies??

How old is this girl? Those look like classic finishing colors!!! sucking all the nutrients out of the leaves in an attempt to stay alive that much longer!!!! your good I think. your looking at another 2-3 weeks till she's done!!!
 
:smoking: Hi Autorocks- welcome to the Happy 'Hood! ..... :toke: HH buddy, what's good brudda?
...good call 'Rocks, that's a bit of the milder version of P defc.,..as opposed to the severe, necrotic leaf wasting type... did things get cooler in there recently? This too can bring on a little P defc., and form up lovely colors,... So, I can't really see your buds up close and gauge how long you have left,... 7 weeks now, so another couple most likely,.... barring something different than what the trich's tell you! How they lookin'? Clear, lots of cloudy, I'm guessing,... Meantime, I think you can up the P portion of the nute's, just to make sure they have sufficient P until cleansing period (about a week or so of nothing but water),... as GA6 noted, part of this is the natural finishing cycle, so expect more yellowing and such on low-mid level fans, and forget greening them up at this stage-- wrong direction now! If they were reaaally yellow, you could dose more N in there, but they're not... do you have a K booster? Now's the time for one last smack to the gonads with that, if it's in your cupboard,...if not, no biggie,... from what I've gathered, toward the end of bloom, P and K should be about even, or K biased,...early-mid+, P should be the fat number! .... :clapper:..the girls look great bro', damn good work for a new grower, mistakes and all :d5:!! ..get some close-up of the bud, and inspect those trichs for clear:cloudy ratio, and if any amber is showing on the bud,.. sugar leaves may have some already, but they don't count! :cheers:
 
Hi folks, all good vibes love it....the girls are 8 weeks....classic finishing colours, part of the natural finishing cycle, excellent guys thats put a calmness back in me..ill send on alot photos of them all and well have a closer look......

As happy mentioned above what they're currently getting (150ml A and B an 50mls of calmag)
could not be enough so that today, upping up the feeding schedule by extra 25 ml of bloom A&B. They are not getting any more BiG BUD, They got their last portion on 23rd of may should i put them back on it..?

Hey Waira Awesome info! read that acouple times...well I WILL post some close ups of the buds in afew....it did get abit cooler this week as i changed airflow setup and temps drop around 21 to 22...

I collected yield up stuff today to make up for the P deficiency, will this do the job? picture below...

Havn't any K booster... and You're saying the P and K should be about even by now ,,, The Sensi Bloom they're getting is;A 3-0-0 and B 2-4-8....

well heading up to get some photos now...

Hey bud-- :hothot:oooooo! 9-47-9 -that's some hot she-ot there! ...looking at the Sensi B, at only 2-4-8...small wonder the P got a little thin,...( I know AN makes fine product, but I've always puzzled over their NPK number ratios, no matter how the 2 parts combine).... Okay, you can dose her at 1/4 strength max. with that--alone, and I don't mean a heavy soaking either, a moderate watering will be best... one shot should be enough, just to ease off the deficiency some,... at week 8 now, it's time for a trichome assessment...get your magnifier out-- 8-10x would be enough, to evaluate what the clear:cloudy is, and if any amber is showing as well,... this is the tough part, gauging how long you have until harvest, allowing for that week of cleansing, which helps remove extra nute's, carb's, etc., so she finishes starving but clean... makes for better smoke! How fast the change from clear to cloudy comes is something you must evaluate every day,...cloudy trich's are fully mature, max THC; most auto's will amber up, but not all, or at least until they are way way over-ripe-- just a heads up! Ambering happens when the THC breaks down into CBN, and that's what give the narcotic heaviness to the buzz... so, just how ripe you want your buds is a personal choice,... I know folks who take their plants at full cloudy/minimal amber, and others who want it practically golden colored! Depends on the strain too, % Indica/Sativa,....generally, I like mine at about 10%, as the trichs will change more during dry/cure, and especially longer tern storage,... ***...... well, there's a lot of back and forth about this, and different brands formulate ratios according to their criteria,... as a general trend from what I see and read, early to mid bloom, P should be the highest, ...after that, even to K-biased for finishing... I don't think it's worth fussing over as a new grower, micro managing your nutes is best affected when you have more experience under you belt,... as long as you follow the basics, and feeding charts especially with multi-part feeds, you'll be okay,.. having some supplements, like a PK booster, can help maximize production, and in this case, treat a little defc. if things are coming up short, which happens! :smoking:
