Please help with my white widow auto

[WildBill]

@WildBill I was just reading about VPD on pulsegrow.com trying to educate myself about this. They said in flower it should be 1.2 to 1.5 VPD. I'm at your recommendation of 1.0 right now at 79 degrees and 58% humidity. Should I lower my humidity down to 50% to achieve 1.3?

I understand that.
My line of thinking is to lessen your nute uptake.
VPD drives transpiration and therefore moisture uptake from your media. More moisture uptake means more uptake or attempted uptake of the nutrients in your media........the same media you have some unknown lockout.

If we knew what was out of whack, we could make logical recommendations. I'm afraid that even compost tea or Boost or SST would load up your media with more microbes or improve root health respectfully. This could help, but it also could cause the lockout to get worse. Just not enough info available to make a logical recommendation based on facts. A regular use of Boost can lessen your need for added nutes. It can increase the efficiency of the uptake with the bacteria making them more available for your roots

How lucky are you at the rez?

You could pick out one girl and try some compost tea and/or Boost and some SST........popcorn or barley. You see removal of the spots, but you should be able to see an improvement in new growth or a slow in the progress of the problem within a few days.

I'm just trying to think of the most logical route for you to get to chop. I hope you understand this line of thinking. If not, just let me know and we'll go from there.

When i first tried nls I started getting the spots around week 4-5 so I started watering with aact practically every watering thinking it was some sort of deficiency or ph issue from the stinky garbage I just dumped my soil on top of and the teas stopped it from progressing substantially for whatever reason..Possibly more good bacteria, or maybe a little bit of mild nutrient that the tea had in it. Worth a shot if you have the stuff handy to brew some up.

What is aact?

I looked it up. Aerated compost tea. No, I don't have any of the ingredients. I do have recharge. What's your opinion on using recharge instead?

Who else in here besides me has used NLS? Just curious

Me.... and a couple of others. We had the same problems at about the same time. Received a good education here from other more knowledgeable growers. I for one will not be going the NLS grow anymore. Two grows with the same issues. I threw the remainder of my NLS original blend onto some plants in the yard. I still have Girl Flower Power and Autoflower blend but they are just sitting on a shelf. Might use them in some teas, or not. I'm trying some different soils and organic feeds, i.e., teas going forward. I feel your pain, blackthumb5. By the way I live in Aridzona too.

1st grow with NLS. Six Shooter by FastBuds. Week 9. NLS mixed in with Happy Frog for Living Soil. Problems started showing up about the 2nd week of flower at about day 50. I threw everything at it thinking I had a deficiency. Buds never filled out and hardly any trichomes. Wound up trashing it.

2nd grow with NLS. Zkittles by FastBuds. NLS mixed in with Happy Frog for Living Soil. Fixed my humidity problem on this grow but still ran into the same problem as the first grow. Thought I had deficiencies again. Added Recharge which slowed things down a bit but still had issues. Plant was a runt and yielded a tad over 1/2 oz. Somebody here tagged the issue as "NLS Disease". Quite appropriate.

I listed Recharge as one of the things you can try

I read conflicting info on recharge. Should I ph the recharge water?

No need in organic grow. You might need to do it using something like MegaCrop.

Like I said, it very well could help nurse them to chop, but there is the possibility it could make it worse.
You have the product. Roll the dice on one of your girls. I'd use it at the higher listed rate. You should see a response in a couple of days.

You only need to ph water when you add something with an NPK value..
