not to sound errogant and not specifically dir to anyone but i see alot of people that grow one or two plants telling people... the way it is
there was a time that i would throw away waayyyyyy more than most grow just because i didn't like something about the genetics i had found
just sayin' ....my 2 cents as well
just because you are close to "flushing" doesn't mean deprive the plant of all the essential things it needs to do well in the final stages when it is too late to make those decisions
i the spirit if it being INDY 500 i will say this
you don't tell a car to take less fuel for the race because you change the starting date it still needs a certain amout of fuel to come across the finishline as other cars:)
if you need a pitstop three laps before finish of course you don't fill the tank but you still need enough fuel to perform

Ok, but I don't see where this applies here, mate. No one is telling her to deprive her plant or to fill up on nutes at the end. Perhaps I am missing something.
 
Hey squid (I'm waving)Thank u guys, I'm thinking cal/mag then.....so now I have a problem....what can I use for this? As I dnt have any of that.... Need to feed today so I'm thinkin I can start treating her if nything in the house can be used? Oh and its the biobizz nutes squid. :)
 
Just remember what you put in now will go up in smoke later. If the problem is not real bad (insert pics here) you could just PH as squid stated. Most likely the nutes are in the soil already just locked due to 6.3 PH.

I have my soil like you at 6.3 we are both going through the same exact issue Mandy. I upped my PH for my waterings and back down for the feedings. 2 of the 4 plants are showing CA,MG currently not real bad but enough to concern me as I am way behind you on my grow.

My G-13 has caught up to my oldest Blue Mystic and it's not even a month old yet. Damn thing is flowering profusely and I'm not giving it anything to induce it, other then the soil. It is showing signs of CA,MG at 3 1/2 weeks old, crazy aye.All in the PH

Check this out at 12,500 feet my outdoor test plants. Got a little tribute to some of you in there..

  1. I see i wasn't clear sorry nutrients taken by way of foliar feeding is the quickest way to give needed changes if she wants to cut it sooner it most readily applies
    root added while will change the issue will take longer to change resulting in more damage done to plant while waiting
    in any situation of def and needing to fix them i would advise the quickest and most beneficial to the plant is foliar application
    it seems to be the boogey man but once learned like every other application it is the best way to remedy an issue
    and recommending that you have plenty of time to correct this issue prob isn't the answer the plant want to hear if it is showing an issue
    i am not saying add 100-100-100 foliar and drench all buds till dripping???not saying you said it was just an example:)
    but a foliar feeding is the BEST way to quickly absorb def for plant so it is the best way to quickly solve an issue when you are coincerned w/ cutting at day 70 or day 80 as stated this will change as mistakes are made along the way
    a number of days is a general rule of thumb for that strain as stated before and things will fluctuate thislooking at most of jackals grows would show that attention to detail to never let plants get behind and always pushing them forward gives him that mouth wattering edge people strive for in yields and time to harvest he obtains
    wait till he starts tweeking w/ foliar here and there:)

if anyone can answer besides squid go to a pharmacy or grocery store and get some epsom salts mix 1/4 teaspoon per gallon of proper ph adjusted water(i would use R/O water if you can) for light feeding then foliar feed to bottom of plant on leaf avoiding covering buds as much as you can
if you don't want it to work for a few days then apply to soil and hope your getting the issue in soil under proper conditions
remember the change you see in soil can be from a number of things like medium temps overwattering to name a few like before that effect ph not just original ph you have
speaking of which don't know if posted but what kind of water are you using?
this will shore up most cal/mag issues depending on the reason you are having ph issues to start w/ it will give you more time to help correct soil
what kind of mix is it truely soil or soiless you are calling soil?

*Squid waving tentacles back at Mandy :D

All good points. Kickers idea of just getting the ph up a little could definitely turn things around for sure. Sativa is right about the foliar being quick.

Is it just a few leaves, Mandy with the spotting? If so, you can spray them a Tsp. per quart each of Epsom Salt and Molasses, Epsom Salt for Mag and Molasses for both really, but Calcium. If it's just a few literally at the bottom then that is your best bet IMO. I though it may have been worse. What that doesn't fix, getting your ph up a little in the soil and that will take care of the rest.

But with her size I say she can definitely take another regular Bloom feed before flushing. Captain will be by late tonight and I am sure he will have some things to say, follow his advice, but you know that.
If you have or can easily get the epsom salt and molasses then go for it, if not, don't worry gal, it isn't bad, just let her do her thing since it is nearish the end.
 
I'm a big fan of foliars too, sati, and what you say is very correct. In that first post from me I was only concerned about Mandy's buds getting moldy. But I agree with you. Foliars are the best quick fix. Just try to keep your buds dry and don't forget the bottoms of the leaves, Mandy.
 
Yeah, I know what you mean. My ph has been SOLID, but I was over watering causing problems, so it only goes so far. I didn't think she had any soil issues, but either way for now the foliar is probably best, or just leave it. Yes, lockout can occur from over-saturation, but I see problems from ph lockout more so than the other.
