Advice please

Relatively new to indoor growing as im and old hippie who always grew outside. This is a South African sativa in an 8 gallon pot filled with half happy frog and half ocean forest soil. It's under an older led panel and was flipped to flower 1 week ago today.. any advice or comments are welcomed

All I see is Blurple

How about a pic under normal light? From what I can see to much luv/water or wind
Of course you could look it up for yourself

I'll get a photo under normal lighting for ya soon. Thanks

 

[Hurdbilly74]

By the way, thanks for the plant doc link

Under "normal" lighting

 

[dirtymike]

That's groovy looking. Nice color, dark green.

A better light would help a lot. It is the most important piece of hardware in a grow. Looks a little wind burnt and maybe to hot. Some better socks would help a lot also. : )

Had a flashback of G2F

Nitrogen toxicity. If you can, reduce Nitrogen and increase Cal/Mag. The increase in cal/mag helps with nitrogen excess.

Keep a close eye on the leaf clawing for the next few waterings.Defoliate lower 1/3 of plant for airflow. But other than that, she looks like a beauty.

Hurdbilly74 Looks great!!!

YYCannabis You did a good job of having a close look at the plant! Your advice is spot on.

 

[Hurdbilly74]

Thank you, I was concerned with the clawing.. she's in soil btw. A 50/50 mix of Ocean forest and Happy frog from fox farm

Best use dolomite lime and epsom salts for your calmag. As mentioned you do have too much N but if you use liquid nutes 90% chance it will be magnesium nitrate and calcium nitrate which will keep giving N....only in big doses

alltatup Thanks
Hurdbilly74 Just so you can see what i see:
1) Very dark green leaves
2) Claw leaves
3) Canoe leaves

 

[Bluey]

YYCannabis which is N toxicity as previously described. Watch for yellowing off around the outside of the fan leaves.

 

[dirtymike]

That's a nice dark green.

I'll agree with the experts that you have a bit of N tox along with upping the cal/mag to help dissipate some of it. Otherwise she looks good.

I like to use this chart as a guideline to when I need to up a particular nutrient ion to match the needs of the plant in the growth phase it's in. The only thing I would change is to start upping the cal/mg a couple weeks sooner.

The leaves clawing and canoeing could also be your light too close. I use blurples and they are usually quite strong so I have to hang them high in comparison to my newer lights that all have dimmers.

If you don't have one already, I would suggest you download a light meter app to get an approximation of how much light your plant is receiving. If you have an android phone I would suggest Tent Buddy. Iphone? Photone.

This is what the Tent Buddy interface looks like.

In the meantime, you can use this chart to get a general idea of how much light is raining down on your plant.
