First I'd like to say, this is a great forum. I've been a long time lurker; never joined for fear of big brother. But, I've got a problem and it's spreading. I've been searching for answers for the last 2 weeks and can't pinpoint it so I'm reaching out to you guys here.
Bagseed, looks mostly indica.
120 days
Soiless mix - peat, perlite, aged pine bark.
Chicken shit tea diet
Now, as far as pH goes. I wasnt monitoring it, even tho I own an expensive digital liquid meter. I did finally test it about 4 days ago but I think my results were skewed bc of the hydrated lime I had sprinkled on the surface about 3 days prior to testing.
My pH was 9.2, but again I could see the white lime in the test water. I flushed the lime, and transplanted from a 3 gal to a 5 gal pot and added more soiless mix and no chicken shit. The run-off then tested at 7.5 pH. I have 2 plants basically fed the same way the whole grow. The 2nd plant has a touch of this problem but not an alarming amount.
I now adjust my water pH to 6.5 prior to watering and I've held off on feeding in case it's a lockout.
PROBLEM:
Starting at lowest fan leaves, chlorosis spreads first from veins, then from bottom of leaf towards the tips until entire leaf is yellow.
Also note, the downward curl or "claw" look to fan leaves.
New growth is unaffected. But fan leaf problem is slowing climbing up the plant. I'm about 10 days into flower.
Oh, and this plants pistils are pink/purple. Hard to see with my camera's pics but you still can kinda. It's nice lookin for bagseed.
Any advice is appreciated thanks!
