Greetings and thanks for stopping by.
Been growing for over 4 years without much struggle.
LED lights, organic and recycled (super)soil, NO NUTES
I mix the soil myself and use plenty of worms in the supersoil and worms in the recylcling soil.
Over the past month, I have had major issues in the flowering tent. I have had to destroy the last 2 flowering plants b/c they get stuck in early budding.
Things go well for the first 2 weeks with plant growth and early bud growth, but at about 3 weeks, the buds stop growing and the leaves lighten, and almost yellow.
I thought it was a function of the heat (>100 for the last few weeks), but now it seems all the plants have the same problem, and it now seems to be a soil issue.
I am thinking nitrogen deficiency.....and am wondering what to do about it.
I don't use any nutes (except cal-mag) so, either I mix a new batch of supersoil, which I will do, or try to find an 'organic/aqueous' fertilizer for the next 6-8 weeks until the supersoil is ready.
Of note, this was the 3rd batch of supersoil I've mixed. This one was different in that in the first ones, I made a point of pulling the bin into direct sunlight to 'cook'. This one I just left in the garage, during the summer, thinking that should be enough to cook it.
I know some will look at the small pots and say no wonder the plants can't finish, but I have 'finished' dozens in those small pots, so I don't think it's a pot size issue, and, the plant that is all budded is in a pretty big pot.
1st 2 pics are of veg tent, for comparison. Some look better than others. Back right is a cinderella's dream mom plant over a year old.Also northern lights,liberty haze, and critical kush.
flowering tent pics, showing similar discoloration in multiple plants/strains.
There are 5 in the flower tent. The budded one is a critical kush which has been flowering for 90 days !!
Prior critical kushs have been harvested around day 60.
The tall lanky plants are liberty haze and they are at about 3-4 weeks and just seem to have run out of gas.
Thanks for stopping by, and thanks in advance for any insight.....
