All were grown from seeds..I figured this was a sensitive pheno as the other 2 show no signs of it. Also it might be rot condition in the bottom of the pots...all are Happy Frog soil, in 3.9 gal auto pots ( bottom feed). Going to flush out with pH'd water and Mykos mycorrhizae and just start back on the res. hoping it perks up and finishes out, if not, oh well, it was an experiment.
It is liming out all over so I initially looked towards pH level, it had drifted to 7 in the res so I had replaced with half the normal fill so I can replace it more often with fresh stuff. It perked up and greened a bit more for a week but over the course of last 2 days it started back so the idea of root problems make it a possible area to look at.....pot is out of it's tray draining out some now, will start flushing it out tonight so I can return it to it's spot in the morning and we shall see what happens, right. LOL
Did you start giving it the Brix57 and how lomg if so? I ask as the Brix57 technically will put an additional pull on nitrogen. I am making a new website now and that’s one of the blogs.
So in the testing of my whole line which we don’t sell currently to outside growers. I originally tested it in Coco to get a base line of what does a plant need.
we actually found a 47% increase in Nitrogen in flower over veg which we were not expecting and we narrowed it to a couple of causal effects. The one we talk about is in large part that it had a correlation to the introduction of Brix57. There were some minor causations as well including Nitrogen to Potassium ratios.
you may literally not have enough nitrogen in the pot due to all biology is protein amino acid essential nitrogen and Carbon based. A portion of the nitrogen we believe is being used as an energy source as well as the level of-sustained microbial activity due to the quality and short, medium, and long chain nature of the carbohydrates, short answer large nitrogen usage not in the plant but in the soil as well as they last longer.
secondly we have seen issues in flower within the nitrogen/ potassium ratio.General guidelines would say that there is a 1 to 2 ratio or Nitrogen to Potassium relationship. So there are times that you can have a potassium deficiency that is the actual cause of the liming affect but more often when an overall liming, it’s a lack of nitrogen.
I have never heard of anyone anywhere talk terms of high nitrogen loads in flower so this took us down a vary interesting rabbit hole which has led us to additional research.
it’s all because we don’t have salts in our nutrition so we are finding out things about plants that I don’t know if very few plant experts have contemplated. Actually rather exciting for the research side and we have created a natural defense in plants high enough to raise the brix levels to a point where insects won’t affect the plant but still in research stages so we will hopefully be able to replicate that and bring out but we would never tell growers to not use an IPM program
But I will have a blog on what factors reduce brix levels as well I just need to finish the site to get it all up
side note we use happy frog with our whole line but feed early with it all the way through so it has some of The organic matter and nutrients left at the end instead of of straight water in the beginning as it usually goes deficient pretty quick. It truly maybe that plants needs More nitrogen.
