BoCoGrow's NEW issue

[BoCoGrow]

@Mañ'O'Green sorry to bother you but another issue has surfaced.

Context: On April 6, I added another layer of Build a Flower top dress kit on top of the previous layer and the barley straw mulch. My plan was to give them plain RO water from then until harvest. Confirming that I have not added anything else since April 6.

Shortly after adding the Build a Flower, multiple forum members stated that I didn't need to keep PHing my water if I'm not adding nutes, so I stopped PHing. Following are pics from each of my two plants that started showing issues within the last 24 hours. I suspect that that guidance was incorrect given there is NPK in the Build a Flower? Next round, I'm going to PH every single time I water, nutes or not. Anything I should do to keep them going? Bud development has continued, but they aren't drinking as much as they were before. Trichs are all clear so I'm thinking another 3 weeks possibly?

You are doing better than you think. A lot of the color I see is just "Fall Color" this is the plants natural progression as she uses what she wants out of the sun leaves. There may be a little nutrient stuff but nothing to worry about.

I would add a little bit of molasses to your water every 3 or 4 days. Don't go crazy.

Coming along nicely!

Thank you for the clarification. The sudden onset of yellowing and red blotching was a concern. But shouldn't they be getting needed nutrients from the Build a Flower top dress?

I don't have molasses but gave them a dose of Humboldt's Secret Sweet & Stick tonight. Please do let me know if you have thoughts on this ingredient.

I completely agree on the pH checking part, you should always check the pH of water, no matter if you're using nutrients or not. Nobody really talks about this except when talking about nutrients. I didn't check my pH and because of that a N toxicity appeared.
