Problem: She's so yellow! And she just got so tall! She really stretched at the end of veg, and grew to where she is now. She was always trending more towards lime green from mid-veg, but has really yellowed in the past week to what you see here. There's really nothing to be done about the height at this point as my light is as high as it will go, but my main concern are the nutrient issues I seem to have.
Medium/grow method: She's in Organic Roots soil. I started them in rooters, moved to a 1 gal pot, then transplanted to grower's pots.
Feed: and supplements used: Kind of a long story. No nutes at all until she'd been moved to grower's pots, as she seemed to be doing fine. Late in veg, I had to leave town on semi-short notice, so I setup blumats to auto water while I was away. When I returned, plants looked great so I left blumats in place. I started to feed General Hydroponics trio about 1x per week by hand. After a couple weeks, she started to move from lime green to yellow, and I thought I was overfeeding so I flushed with water and then went only water for about 10 days. Yellowing got worse, so I then changed my mind to "I've underfed!" So, as of Saturday (3 days ago), I'm feeding General Hydroponics at 1/4 strength recommended on the bottle + CalMag at 5ml/gallon H20 through the blumats.
water source: Tap water, pHed to 6.0-6.5
Strain/age: Barney's Zkittlez OG, about 69 days from sprout
light used: I'm growing in a 4x2 tent under a Sonofarm 2000 that's at about 80% to prevent (more) burn. Edit to add: I'm doing 24:0 light schedule. Not my first choice, but temps in the basement are typically 58-60 and I need the constant heat to keep the tent at/above 65.
Climate: 4x2 tent, temp is typically 64-67 and humidity is usually 65-70%. I have a 6" AC Infinity fan that's set to kick on when the humidity hits 70%, and it runs pretty consistently. There's also a small 6" fan to provide air circulation.
Additional info: I think I got it all above - she just got really stretchy late in veg and shot up towards the light. I have to balance my solutions with another auto I have in the tent (Barney's Critical Kush auto) that has her own issues (will post later!). Thanks in advance for any help you can offer!!!
