Now that my outdoor girls have finished up, I’m focusing attention inside....probably should have done so sooner. Ahh well, first run in a long time and while yield isn’t quite there I think quality will be if I don’t mess up dry and cure.
So I’m looking for input on what I’ve done here and have a feeling I messed up ph a few weeks back and now really seeing the fallout. Disclaimer* I haven’t gotten any ph testing stuff yet (everything was fine for the whole grow up till now). Also, photos under led and hps and edited to get closer to natural lighting.
Pretty sure this is a Lemon Walker starting 9 week in flower. Has been grown under a 600w hps and 2 shitty led boards since flower (just the leds during veg), in a mix of organic miracle grow plus an amended pro mix soil (both bails from Costco) with some slow release bone and blood meal, worm castings and a little feather meal. All plants fed on biocanna Flores, unsulphured blackstrap, liquid seaweed (2-4-7 I think) and 2 types of hen pellets (will have to check in numbers for those) as top dressing (and the initial soil amendments). I had 1 little plant in an old baking powder bucket that I was guessing was too high ph (again no testing, but shouting yellow between the veins and other symptoms) so I added about a tsp of apple cider vinegar to a gallon of water to bring it down. But then I watered all my girls with that. Couple weeks later this one started with leaf spots and curling and then progressed to what you see here. Guessing my n was too heavy during flower for this strain cause It’s had a bit of clawing happening for a while now. The spots and yellowing and crispiness are within the last couple weeks - while I’ve been distracted with outdoor harvest.
fans so crispy they crumble at a touch. Almost looks like the most extreme cal mag def ever, but thinking it may be due to a ph issue. The chicken pellets have calcium and the biocanna has mag, so they should be there, but if Ph is too low then they are unavailable, correct? The other possibilities I’m considering are burn (unlikely cause all organic, but possible cause I experimented with dissolving some of the chicken pellets for a liquid feed), and light burn (also feel unlikely cause light distance hasn’t changed). Here’s some more photos....


this last photo is natural light. Leaf is getting crispy to the touch like the other. Also, feel it worth noting that it’s primarily the top leaves doing this. Bottoms are yellowing as they should at this stage in flower.
Sadly there is so little time left before cutting (she looks pretty much ready to me - no amber yet, but all cloudy) I don’t think I have the time to fix it. That is assuming the trichomes will ripen when she is this unhappy, which could be an incorrect assumption.
Happy growing!
ps...
Sugar leaves starting to curl and crisp on this one. Also starting 9 weeks flower. Haven’t been able to find much info on sugar leaves doing this so tossed in as an extra.
thanks again all!
