Hello Growers!
This is my first ever grow. I started out by raising 2 seedlings sourced from a friend's 4-year-old seedy weed and I have no genetic information on it other than it being something Indica-dominant, and it's a photoperiod. It could be ditch weed for all I know! But, going by the size of the seedy nugs, I'm hoping it's something interesting. Both were raised in my hydroponics station, then were transplanted to soil in 2 gallon cloth pots, then about a month ago transplanted to 5 gallon cloth pots. Sadly, One turned out to be male, so I no longer have him.
My female however is on week 2 of the flowering stage and I am starting to notice moderate yellowing of the lower leaves with brown spots mainly in the middle. some of the older fan leaves in the middle are just starting to show signs too. Going by the plant problem list it looks closest to either a manganese or calcium deficiency. Could it be a pH issue? Both plants have always had some sort of yellowing that would come and go as new foliage and branching would replace the dying leaves. I didn't think anything of it until now since my female needs to start focusing a lot of energy on the buds rather than new foliage.
I give her 1 gallon tap every evening (weather permitting). My tap water is stored outside in 1 gallon jugs, so any chlorine can burn off during the day. The pH of the tap is somewhere from 6-6.5.
every Saturday I feed her fox farm products going by their feeding ratio schedule. Grow Big, Big Bloom have been used weekly since transplanted to soil. (Tiger Bloom as well since buds have appeared)
thinking it might be a calcium deficiency, I topped the soil with a couple of teaspoons of lime. That was 2 days ago.
I have not done a soil runoff pH test.
The three pictures show 2 close-ups of bottom leaves (more yellow) and middle leaves (just starting to yellow). The last older picture shows both the male (left) and female (right) in the Dank Cage.
