Hope everyone is well, and staying sane. May can’t come soon enough! I’m so glad I picked up this fun hobby of growing last year. It’s one of the few things that’s helped keep my mind sharp during all of this. So much to learn, just when you think you’re getting a grasp on it.
The more mature plant has thrown a curveball at me that I can’t seem to figure out. About two weeks ago the bottom leaves started yellowing from the tip with brown spots sparsely throughout. After doing some homework I thought it was a Manganese deficiency, but it hasn’t since resolved. I trimmed off most of the bad ones so it’s looks better in the picture. I hadn’t ever used cal/mag, so I’m hoping that may do the trick. Along with the cal/mag, I fed her with 3% hydrogen peroxide to kill any fungus or bacteria at the roots and to also add oxygen. Did this today so fingers crossed.
In other news- the Alaskan Purple Auto from Seedsman is doing GREAT. This is my first run going 100% organic (aside from the cal/mag, so more like 95%). I’m using an all-purpose organic amendment from Dr. Earth with Dr. Earth Golden Bloom during flower. I plan to add cal/mag in small doses every other watering. Aside from the cal/mag she gets plain PhD filter water every few days.
The A.P. received a little bit of LST to the top site. Her surrounding nodes are quickly approaching the central cola. I’ve done a lot of playing with the light height. Still trying to figure out the most effective heights.
