Unfortunately I forgot to order the General Hydroponics pH down, and there's no where local to me to shop (the closest hydroponic store is 40 miles away)
I ended up using a pH down from the local Petco. I know you're not realllllly supposed to but my plant was dry and sad, and it was only like 2-3 drops total. I made do for $3.
I think there's some improvement. I realize there's a few really bad leaves, and she filled back out in general. I wonder in another day or so if she really perks up if I should do a final pruning to open up all the nodes to the light again.
I also forgot to empty the drain bucket underneath. I won't be able to test the run off pH accurately.
In order the plant is dry, +1 hour of watering, +12 hours of watering

🌱 Is it possible to move the lights up a little? It almost looks like the plant is yellowing in the places that are close to the light, which could be a sign they're being stressed by too much light (light burn). 🌱

I need some fast input. The watering on the 13th with the pH 6 water didn't seem to do improve the plant very much. Not worse, slight improvement at best.
I've pruned the bad leaves, and tomorrow I will be watering because I'm leaving at 12 noon EST and returning Friday late afternoon. I do have a trusted friend to come by and check on the plant.
I'm thinking potassium/phosphorus deficiency. I'd like to add those in with the watering tomorrow but the only direct access to liquid nutrients is Fox Farm Tiger Bloom (2-8-4) and what I recall was Big Bloom (0-0.5-0.7) but I think the ratios were slightly different on the bottle. I can't find an equivalent product on their site. I swore it was more like (0.2-0.3-0.5) or something like that. I grabbed the Tiger Bloom but was in a hurry, I can always exchange it in the morning. I'm just worried that it's too much nitrogen. Otherwise I have to order from Amazon and not give nutrients until fri/sat.

Hi Randy, if you're trying to get potassium phosphorus to your plants tiger bloom will do I wouldn't worry about the nitrogen as it is designed for the flowering stage just keep your ratio at half of the recommended dose to start.
I'm in coco and only use 1 tbl per 1 gallon every 7days compared to big bloom being 4tbl per gallon every 7days Thur the whole grow.
Hope this helps.

I returned home to find no real change. I can't decide if it's better or worse since Monday. I did remember to empty the drain tray so when I tested the pH of the run off water it was lower than 6.6. I couldn't decide if it was closer to 6 or 6.4. This was using a watering testing at 6.0 on Monday. Does my soil need a flush? Is it nutrient burn/deficiency? Root rot? I can't imagine light burn still being a concern as I added a spacer before I left.

**** OH NO!!! ****
I haven't seen much change since Friday's watering with correct pH water and 1/2 strength Tiger Bloom added. On Fri the pH was about 6.2. The runoff pH I tested this morning was a bit higher at 6.4ish. I decided I should try to flush. I prepped 1.5 gallons of water only at pH 6.0. Shut the lights but kept the fan going.
Checking in this evening I discovered these.... did stress cause my plant to hermie?

You have used up the soil in the bucket , no nutrients left . It sure looks like it

If that's your only plant let it continue to grow ,it will much larger, I just harvested my NLAUTO from Nirvana on day 87 ,how old is your plant??

Only plant. single space bucket setup. I didn't take declining nutrients from the soil into account. Since the watering the other day was excess plain water to flush, I will test the runoff pH and add the regular dose of tiger bloom to the next watering in a couple of days.
The earliest picture I can find is dated 5/20 and it's a fairly new sprout with 2 small sets of leaves. So between 60-70 days absolute tops.
I can see all the trichomes surrounding the bud. Harvest must be soon approaching. I need some better magnification to see them change
