New here, on my second grow. Still learning as I go. I have three plants going right now that are about 3.5 weeks into flower. One is showing signs of nitrogen deficiency and/or root issues. Another is doing pretty good, but also has a little droop on the leaf tips. Here's the details...
4x4x80 tent
50% coco 40% perlite 10% ffof
400w hps, and 250w led
6" duct fan w/carbon filter and 4" duct fan + booster w/carbon filter - all blowing out. 3 small fans for circulation in tent
4 gallon mayo buckets with lots of holes drilled in them 1" of pebbles at the bottom for drainage/air
nutes: 1/3 strength tiger bloom, 1/2 strength ff big bloom, full strength calmag/hydroguard/silica blast ph'd to ~5.8, plain ph'd water every other feeding
water every 3 days +/-1 depending how dry they feel/look
th seeds sage n sour, reserva privada sour diesel, and huckelberry from elemental seeds - all came as freebies and happened to be the ones that survived germination
The main problem is the Sour Diesel. The older leaves are very droopy, and show lots of yellowing on the lowest branches. I'd think it was N deficiency but there is no way she's not getting enough N in her food. I have never totally weened her off the veg nutes because I suspected N problems - but still more yellowing and droopy leaves. So I have to assume it's a root issue, likely space not ph though both possible. She kinda took off on me in veg, and is right around 3' tall and in a 4 gallon pot.
So I'm considering transplanting her into an 8 gallon smart pot... almost a month into flower. This strain is known to take 10-12 weeks to finish so she has lots of time, but I still am not sure if this is a good idea. I also have rocks in the bottom on the pot that may damage the roots during what will surely be a very sketchy transplant. Not really sure where to go, here's some pictures.
