New Grower Lucy's Very First Grow - Ak48 auto in soil LED

[LucidLucy]

I am using cal-mag but possibly not enough. I wasn't sure if that would burn. I have also not given the variegated plant much in the way of nutes because she burns easily from them. In hindsight, this may have been a mistake. For example, on October 3rd I gave Stinky some Tiger Bloom but gave only plain water to the variegated plant. They are both the same age but not in the same stage of flowering.
When you see "var" on the calendar it is this plant that has issues.

Unless the cal mag has a lot of N in it it should not burn. They need a bit of.PK to switch. I wouldn't be afraid of light doses, if you want to thin it out just pour plain water before or after you water in the feed. Waira is better than me at this, kinda looks like P def starting. Are the stems purple?

@Dudeski the main stem is not purple but numerous smaller stems on both of my flowering plants are .....well they look more reddish purple ...like rubarb color. Is that bad? I thought it was pretty

 

[Dudeski]

Means a slight P def, its pretty though! Some are naturally that way, I'm not sure about this strain. Can u up the PK a bit?

 

[Dudeski]

Oh, the more you show that calendar the more I like it!

Yes, I look at it this way.....it can't be excess nutes because she doesn't get much and it can't be ph because i know what that is in the soil. So I gave her a full dose of Cal-mag and a 1/3rd dose of Tiger bloom which is a 2-4-8 npk. Ooops, that should have read 2-8-4 npk

 

[Dudeski]

How often are you feeding? You may want to up it a bit more the next feed. Just until you get a bit of tip burn. Then you know their limits

I find that the calendar is really useful. A picture works better than text for me. It's a free Excel template that I got here https://www.smartsheet.com/free-excel-calendar-templates
You can add as much info as you want for each block/day but it will only show the first 3 lines or so at the top, you have to click on the block to get all your text to show up.

Thank you for the link! What a fine tool. Do you mind if I share this?

 

[LucidLucy]

By all means, share it.
