Hello good people, figured I'd see what you guys think is going on with my lady.. she's a sour stomper day 42 , she's in a 2 gallon pot filled with roots organic mixed with mephisto super soil.. she's under two 220w solar flare leds in a 4x2 tent , temps are 75ish and rh around 40%.. ph sits around 6.5.. besides 5ml of cal mag with each feeding , I started light feedings with biomarine and biobloom about a week or so ago.. considering her size of 28inches the last I measured and her pot size of 2 gallon I feel like she could of really exhausted the nutes in the soil..
In need of some thoughts..

TB-- yup, she's tapped out that soil mate, and is starving more than a bit, more than one defc. hitting at this point,...yeah, see the purple main stem, not just the petioles? A clear sign of general "starvation"... yellow tops smack of S defc., and the interveinal yellowing top to bottom looks like long term Mg defc., with P and K defc.'s mixed in I think,...all these can make for muddied diagnostic waters! ...likely there's underlying micronutrient defc.'s as well, considering what all they do in association with the main nutrients,... you need to get a more conc. PK in there and either epsoms salts (MgSO4, 1 tsp/qt) or better yet, a good micronutrient supplement, like Earth Juice Microblast, which will have both the sulfates and micronute elements.. The PK issue is your call on using organic (slower), or even temporary synthetic right-now fast sourcing,.. I'm familiar with this deal, my KindSoil plants tapped the soil out by early bloom, nearly fucked the whole blooming! I had to use powerful synthetic nutes at weaker dilutions to get high PK in there (I used FoxFarms Open Sesame and Cha-Ching, 1/4 str.; if you look them up, note the crazy N-P-K ratios on them) to get ahead of the defc.'s, then used GO Biobloom and Roots Organics HPK along with Mammoth P microbe inoculant ( a specialized P oriented formula, not the typical inoculant microbes) while tapering off the synthetics,... She's a damn nice plant, just hitting a nutritional wall, face-first now!Hey brother I appreciate the reply .. lol funny stuff I just got a new bottle of the mircoblast in.. I'll order the open sesame and the cha ching and hope to have it in a few days.. can you see her pulling through? She really is lovely.. would I just start with a light feeding of the fox farms nutes?
Sorry lol thoughts are a bit all over specially considering I'm just getting out of work.. did you have to ph the pk boosters? Also how would I go about mixing GO cal mag, With the pk boosters? When you said tapering off exactly how do you go about that in this situation? I am going to order them right now.. sounds like it's my best route and won't be bad to have on hand for the future..
Okay my last post till otherwise... So my big girl def looks to be taking it hard the last couple days and especially today but she will be ready for another drink tmo so I'll be able to at least get the mircoblast into the soil, would you recommend I give a full feeding of biobloom along with the mircoblast ? By the 10th I'll have the sesame and cha-ching and witch is perfect considering the 10th is most likely the next watering day after her feeding tmo.. when you say 1/4 and stir is that just 1/4 of the recommended feeding? I also have the RO hpk on the way..totally appreciate your time and once again sorry for the headache

...sure, she's looking a bit rough, and will likely finish face-first and look totall haggard, but so f'ing what? It's the fat dense buds that matter, so get the micro' going ASAP, and since it's pretty mild, double the dose for a couple rounds to get caught up faster,.. they formulation is largely sulfate based, which is great for the extras, and the terp's etc. that need the S right now,...
always pH adjust you nute inputs,.. add the Ca-Mg first, then the fert's, let it sit for a few minutes to react some, then test pH,... Whatever PK booster you use, make note of the NPK numbers first.. the
ones are fierce strong man, like 5-45-19 or 9-50-10, so at most 1/4 strength (I think it's 1tsp gal normal, so 1/4tsp/gal to start with, being cautions about burning them). for a few rounds; I'd just order one, Open Sesame.. then go back to the organics mentioned if you want,...
