so all of my girls are showing, one of my ladies particularly bad.. mid to late signs of phosphorus difficiency.
last 3 waterings which i do every seecond day i upped the P-K with bloom boost and tried to check p.h. but my pen is kaput so i cant rely on its readings really..
the ph pen has a wire probe that accumulates oxidation despite it being packed in some sort of silica dessicate and before i chopped mine up to find out why its only reading "1" no matter where its immersed, and found that a light sanding on that wire probe now garners readings but they're kinda all over the place.
best i can tell ph is between 5 and 6 runoff with a watering solution of 6.5 or so (city water is 7 neutral and with nute solution i get a bit of phdown it seems)
anyways back to the girls.. i flipped to flower less than a week ago when the signs were less pronounced and the phosphorus diff symptoms are certainly subsiding a bit but still progressing.
does it take upto a couple weeks for these things to stop showing symptoms?
would it be wise to start watering daily now instead with the same nute levels?
i was scaling how much water gets absorbed and how fast and went from every third day which equalled 10lbs fabric 3 gallon pot, to right after watering which resuls in a 18 lbs pot.
24h later i'm at 12-14 lbs again or so.
amended promix with perlites and bark nuggets. fabric 3 gallon pots.
