Current set up:
light- spider farmer sf2000(16inches away from canopy)
Soil(happy frog) in 5 gallons
Temp/humidity- 66°/77°~ 31%/45%
Veg-70days
Flowering-35 days
Strain- white widow
Top dressing with roots organic dry nutrients and recently top dressed with some worm castings
Also using cal-mag/recharge/and recently used some fish shit
Sooo I have been fighting with these deficiencies for awhile now, I knew going into flower I had a slight nitrogen deficiency in the bigger plant but figured I could fix it easily (boy was I wrong) ... Now being over a month into flower both of my plants are not looking happy at all. Any suggestions or advice on what to do would be greatly appreciated!!! (Last picture is right before flower)

Why in the world would you flush? Feed them. More EWC. Some sea kelp. A compost tea.

I was kind of worried there might be a nutrient lockout of some sort. But the pH run off is 6.4-6.6 in soil so I don't think that is the culprit. I just recently purchased terp tea from roots organic, can I use EWC in conjunction with these nutrients? And if So do I need to put the EWC in some kind of filter? The tea I believe can be added directly into the water (thank you for replying by the way, greatly appreciated)

Sorry for the late response just received the notification, and this does seem to be the culprit... Now it says destroy affected plants, I only have two plants and they both seem to be effected. Do I just try and finish out this grow and give them extra N? Or should I start completely over? When the light turns off its pretty impossible to keep the temps over 70 for me. With the light on it shouldn't be an issue

Well I hate the fax the bible said to get rid of it so I'm going to say that you can try but I would get the worst of them out of your tent but in the end you should start over sorry to be the one to tell you that as always thank you for your time and the best wishes to you and your family and friends @RedhulkGrower

i'd give them a foliar feed of 1/4 strength nitorgen base nutes and a 1/4 tsp epsom per gallon of water.

no foliar feed during flowering could cause bud root,unless you have very low humidity but still not worthed the risk....

Personally i wouldn’t worry about the leaves this far into flowering,they will still fall out in a couple of weeks,what i would do is defoliate a bit so lower branches gets some lights to ripen.those leaves are pretty much useless to the plants,cut some out.i would keep feeding them for sure.

That plant is eating it's self to stay alive. That can be caused by nutes locking out from too wet too dry or not enough of them. The fastest way to fix this is going to be foliar feeding this plant. I'm just assuming this person has a fan involved he's going to be fine. That's white widow it's a heavy feeder literally built for hot humid grow rooms. the fastest way to get it food under this scenario of not having food for so long is straight to the leaves.

I don't actually have a efficient way to foliar feed currently and I am not quite sure with my skill set I have that I would be able to perform such a job. Instead of spraying the plants do you think I could make a terp tea with roots organics terp tea mix and some EWC in the mix?

Yeah it's just going to be slower but yeah start feeding them.

Dont foliar feed them its risky,worst thing is loosing bud to root.again i would defoliate a little bit and start checking the soil pH and make adjustment that way.if you feed trough the soil the right way leaves have very few impact on the health of the plant.good luck and happy holidays
