New Grower First Grow ever!

I'm using 2 gallon smart pots filled with Canna coco and using the General Hydroponics trio plus Calimagic. I presoaked the coco with seedling strength nutrient water and soaked the jiffy pellets with regular PH'd water.

I started germinating them in jiffy pellets, which I stuck straight into the smart pots on August 4th. The Jock Horror and WW both sprouted within 3 days, and the Lemon OG sprouted finally on day 6. I only gave them PH'd water for the 1st 2 weeks, then started with the GH trio and Calimagic every other watering at half the recommended dose. I had pics i was going to post from earlier in the grow but they got deleted accidentally. Everything was going smooth until I had to leave for a 4 day weekend, about 4 weeks into the grow. I watered them with nutes the day i left but when i came back the plants were yellowing from the bottom up, and had grown to like 3x the size they were when i left. I read that that is caused by a nitrogen deficiency and upped the calimagic dose for a couple waterings, which seems to have worked. All the new growth was coming in normal green and the yellowing stopped. My only concern now at day 55 is that the leaves that have been on them since I fixed the nitrogen deficiency are not as green as I think they should be, but the flower production hasn't slowed at all so I'm not too worried.

Thats where we're at. Just watered last night with plain PH'd water and am continuing with every other day watering switching between nutes and plain water. I think the WW has about 2-3 weeks left, the Lemon OG about 3-4, and Im not sure about JH, that one looks like its got time yet
Ill update this Journal weekly at least, and would be glad to hear any suggestions or comments.
Stay lifted friends! :smoking:

@archie gemmill I'm following a nute schedule I found on another website, which has me doing every other watering. After I came back from vacation and found them yellowing I actually started putting calimagic in every watering but then I noticed nute burn starting on the tips of the leaves so I switched back to every other and seems to be doing good.

 

[bad dragon bzzz]

you say ph'd water,whats the ph ?
its real hard to get the coulor back in every leaf after a dry period.done it myself and the bottom 1/4-1/3 never came back.
it was the dry period that sucked the colour from the leaves,it was hungry it eat and drank all it could from the pot before eating itself.making it look like N deff........well it was but only temp,a feeding was alls needed rather than feeding with upped nutes.but not to worry you wernt suposed to know that.maybe ive confuzzed things more than i explained,sorry.
good luck n keep er lit.

That would explain the color loss. My tap water reads at 7.50ish ph, so I use ph down to get it close to 6. Usually get it between 5.8 and 6.2. I read that it should be between 5.5 and 6.5 so I figured a flat 6 was good to shoot for.

Blackstrap molasses is all I use for about a week before coco plant harvest. Mainly because I have whole house filtered water that needs an additive for ph. Of late I have been feeding around 4 quarts for run off of water/nutes once per week. In between it's a quart to two quarts.

Welcome to AFN. Those leaves that yellowed wont green back once you fixed the issue.

Weekly update. The ladies are coming along nicely, the WW looks to be nearing her harvest window. I still see some clear tric's and no amber yet, hopefully be pulling her this weekend or early next week. Lemon OG, still has some maturing to do and Jock Horror still looks to be a good few weeks out yet. All is happy in my lil garden otherwise. I'll update next week or after I harvest WW, which ever comes first
