Day 28, flowering need help

[Smokesteve]

So I am on day 28 of 12/12 using elevation organic soil peak organic bloom nutes and a good dose of cal mag a bit of molasses last 2 waterings ph 6.3 ish. This mix on every watering.

Is that a middle leaf or a top leaf? It looks like a zinc or managanese deficiency

[Smokesteve]

Near the top

(Drinks some water)

Ok, so a few possibilities since it’s near the top.
First What’s your medium?
amount of nutes per gallon? Also NPK?
any other bloom boosters?
Do the new leaves feel thinner than the mid leaves, like significantly thinner?
Do the new leaves contort or wrinkle?

it looks like a mix of a manganese deficiency and a PK Excess

[Smokesteve]

You can see in the picture that it is not only near the top but in the middle also.
The medium is elevation organic soil.
Peak harvest bloom is 2-5-3. They recommend 5-15 ml. Per feeding I do 12 ml. Every watering.
Ill check the leaves tonight for thinness.
There are a few wrinkles on the outer edges of the leaves folding up. That could be heat which is more under control since the outside temps dropped.

Smokesteve , I can't see your whole plant, but that does look like zinc.
But if your in good soil, you shouldn't have to worry about zinc, it's in there.
If she was mine ,I'd topdress a couple of inches, of that soil you got, and water it in real slow, maybe even mist it in.And see what she looks like in a day or two.
If not that, I'd mix up some Recharge
an charge all those microbes and bacteria back up, that's in your soil.
But I'd be using more molasses than you probably.
Teas are awesome ,they help alot.
GoodLuck,

Okie dokes, so use plain PHed water for every other watering, reduce your nutes to 7 ml per L until you see the color come back, and use a manganese and zinc supplement to spray on the leaves use 1/3-1/2 the recommended dose

Huh..?
Peak harvest looks like really good stuff. Never heard of it until I just googled it. Should have the macro and micros.
out of curiosity, what strain is this?

[Smokesteve]

It's happening on 3 strains all Nirvana i believe this is Super skunk, also happening on Tangie and ak48. The soil is not drying out its taking over a week to dry. Maybe it's a drainage issue. I'm using 5 gallon home depot style buckets with 3/8 and 1/2 holes drilled in the bottom. From what I have read zinc deficiency happens often with over watering. Then why aren't my drying out faster?! Thanks for the help.

[D.A.A.S.69]

Mmust be your buckets, like Calikid said. Drill more holes and quit watering. Drill holes in the sides of the buckets.

[Californiakid]

I think thats it my friend, buckets obviously are not as porous as fabric or air pot, even clay pots permeate some. So I would say you figured that part out .

[Californiakid]

I would elevate them and add a fan to circulate air around pots to help dry things out. No water for awhile. It will self correct.

That's a weird situation. I'd say nutrient lockout since the plants are not drinking. But I see absolutely no signs of it? I use nutrients at every water but I use a different brand and at 1/4th the recommended dose. To be honest I'm stumped. But to bad that leaf was not healthy because it sure is pretty.

[Smokesteve]

I have a theory about this I think I'm overfeeding in concentration as well as volume. I think that I'm watering with a high concentration of nutrients as well as too much liquid. The plant is absorbing what it needs when it needs to, but a crapload remains in the soil leaving the soil wet I don't know it's just a theory. Im pretty good with the p.h

[furrysparkle]

I agree with your conclusion and definitely change to fabric pots on your next run
