Phosphorous deficiency in flower?

[firsttimegrower12]

Ive heard that from a few people...that they had trouble with the Fantasmos...one guy said it foxtailed on him but, it was his fault. Here are a few more pictures of her upper leaves...and some of some lower leaves that are showing some blotching/loss of color in small spots....could it be calcium deficiency? Lol

P.S. I tried to upload a picture of my thumb holding the leaf and it said, "Upload Failed" "This is an Adult Image". Haha. Gonna try it again and try to get a screen shot of it lol.

No that looks more like a P defo but I see what also could be a PH problem? Do you have a quality soil probe for PH. We need to know what the PH is in the root zone where it counts. Run-off PH and PPMs is really unreliable information.

I do not have a good pH probe for testing soil. Its one of those 3-way Meters(Moisture, Light, pH) and it doesnt work very good at all in a slurry. Ill have to get another Soil Test Kit and test my soil pH. I tested it 2 weeks ago and it was somewhere between 6 and 6.5. It was also Phosphorous Deficient....but that was because I had not given it any nutes yet hardly. Since then, I have given her Tiger Bloom to try to fix the phosphorous deficiency. Maybe the pH has dropped a little? I will get another test kit and test it tomorrow and post my findings.

Get yourself an Accurate 8 Soil Probe and learn how to use and maintain it properly. Your plants will thank you with bountiful harvests.

Are you working off this chart?

Your going to get a lot of suggestions about how to feed your plants. IMHO it is best to use a vendors entire line ONLY. They spend millions of dollars developing nutrients to work together to achieve the best possible results. It is all about Liebig’s law of the minimum. When you understand this you will understand why you should not mix-n-match your own. The only exception to this rule is when you have deficiencies (it won't happen often if using nutrients correctly). There are a couple of additives I do like and use: Azos and Mykos are microzae and beneficial fungus, Botanicare HydroGuard protects roots in Soil/DWC and Mammoth P in all my grows. Other than this I use a vendors entire line only on their schedule for what I am doing. As to the strength, the vendors charts are a beginning point and for many strains or phenos it is too strong but not all strains or vendors. So I have a system where I start seeds at 1/4 strength for the first week then 50% for the next and I continue to increase by 10% each week until tip burn is observed then back off 10%. This gets you to where the plant likes it not just blindly following the chart.

Good info. I plan on getting a better pH meter in a month or so. Ive got my brothers wedding and bachelor party weekend in Cali coming up so, saving every bit of spare change for that right now. Lol. I use Alliance Biologics(bottle in pic)....it is Bacillus(or however its spelled lol) and other beneficial bacteria/microbes.

I love all of those little beasties microbes and fungi all good ( well not all of them)

I would find a source of micronutes to add to the nutes. has terrible pH buffering too. When leaves discolor on new leaves first it's almost always early pH shift or micro def.

I have a bottle of Earth Juice Microblast. I will add it to the next feeding as well. Those leaves that are discolored, are older fan leaves...not sure if that makes a difference...just letting u know. Idk what would be causing pH shift...

I added a few more pictures. I noticed that the leaves that are getting lighter, are also kind of tacoing(first pic)...the edges are pointed up slightly. It is NOT heat related as the hottest it gets is 78. And I dont think it is light stress...because some leaves at the bottom of the plant are doing it also.

The tip burn is from a time when the N was a bit too high. That is in the past. I think your plants are hungry but that look can be PH related.
