Yes, it's looking like you've either got a pH issue or a deficiency. What's your run off pH reading?

I checked the runoff last time I watered and it was at 6.32 and I gave 6.37 water yesterday. My pH may be slowly going back up though? She was doing really good for a while and her bud sites all look really good and healthy, the leaves around the bud are dark and perky and sugary. Let me know what you think I should do please. Thanks Muddy.

my soil pH meter says its at 6.2 so I can bring it up a bit but it does look a little better today, the leaves perked back up. Do i need to spray with molasses or epsom salt? or Is she okay?

I like a pH of 6.2. Muddy night suggest higher but if it was mine I would leave it just where it is. I have always found pot likes it a little on the acid side.

Alright cool thanks nelson, I was trying to get it to stay in the 6.2-6.4 range. But something didn't seem right so I figured thats what it was, maybe cal-mag?

 

[Muddy]

Good, your pH is fine. Looks like a mag deficiency. Give her some cal/mag if you've got it or add 1 tablespoon per gallon of epsom salts to your next feeding or two. That should take care of it.

 

[Nelson]

Both you an Muddy got her figured out. I always add cal/mag to everything I grow. It is the one additive I bother with. All the rest of them are pretty much snake oil. Epsom salts is maybe allright also but I have just never tested it out myself. If Muddy recomends it is probably good.

Cool thanks guys. I water her today and I will give her some salts and molasses. Ill give an update in a few days. I think I will start giving my plants cal-mag no matter what now because I see everyone having to add it. If they look fine Ill let them grow but keep my pH on point and let her grow.

Should I take off nute burnt leaves or leaves that are yellow and dry to let the green leaves and bud under them get light?

 

[Muddy]

If they still have a lot of green in them I'd leave them. I wouldn't remove them unless they were dead or almost dead.
