Man! Look so much different out of the room.
I don't think that door is doing you much good...

Lol! Yeah I guess the previous folks roughed everything in, and stopped at the drywall. Typical Coloradans.

Things going to be a monster!
That’s from the 47, thought this whole time it was the Afghan.

They get tangled up so you can't tell who's who until you pull them out to harvest!

Literally takes at least 2 hours untangling and supporting. The Afghans and the 47s will be a lot easier. They’re a lot stiffer.
Couple decent Jack flowers that are standing tall and proud now.

I finally pulled them all out, cut out the old mite damage, and anything I felt needed to go, added support for every main bud, then did a major scrub on the entire room.
I can’t believe how big the things ended up being.
The Jacks
The whole crew before trim and support.
After cleanup
You can see all the buds are now that I have them tied up.

They’re looking perky this morning. The smell is emanating throughout the whole basement.
I noticed a more leaves looking like this...
I’m starting to wonder if I made my tea too hot last time around. Any suggestions, or just part of it?

A disconnected leaf picture tells me very little unless I can see where it came from on the plant. I am guessing these are low to mid level fans, and not from the upper growth.
A compost tea should not have so many nutrients in it that it becomes hot. If that is the case you are not making compost tea, you are brewing up home made nutrients instead of growing microbes. You should not be able to burn a plant with a compost tea.
I am thinking that I see magnesium deficiency setting in... I would add more calmag.

Thanks Em,
The only change I made was upping the 1/2 cup of dry nutes to a full cup.
The last batch was:
4c Compost
2c Castings
1/2c 4-8-4 Down to Earth Rose and Flower
1/2c 3-9-4 Dr. Earth Bloom Girl
3tbls molasses
120ml URB
2 scoops soluble seaweed extract
I used straight water last night, but will take a few better pictures tonight of the leaves on the plant.
There really aren’t many leaves showing the issue (mainly Jack Herers) and they seem to mostly be the larger/older mid level leafs. I just noticed them and wanted to get in front of it before it got bad. Starting week 6 from first signs of pistols, so I should be getting close. All three say 7-9 weeks, and I think the Jacks will be ready first. I can’t get over the smell.
I was thinking Calmag with the next watering. I think it calls for 5ml per gallon, should I go full strength IYO?

How much tea did you brew up? The URB would have taken care of the microbe requirement... the rest of this definitely appears to be a fertilizer brew, and very strong. It definitely could burn plants.
I would give full strength calmag every watering for a while, to stop this deficiency cold... you have no choice since you have removed the leaves the plant had isolated to use for supplying the deficient magnesium, and if she needs any more than you are supplying at this point, she will just move the cannibalization operations up to the next leaves up the trunk. My removing the affected leaves, you just doubled the amount of leaves being affected and now you have no idea if you are solving the problem after giving the calmag. If you had left the affected leaves on the plant, they would have greened back up around the damaged areas, and been productive leaves after that... now you are flying blind.

Oh I didn’t remove them all, just a sample of each issue I was seeing. I’ll take more pictures (on plant) and post. Shed has told me before not to remove the leaves as the ladies will use them at some point now, or later down the road.
Not a lot of folks on here do the Compost teas, and organic style grows, so I AM flying blind when it comes to brews and other aspects.
This is the first time I’ve noticed any deficiencies, and that 1/2c jump was the only factor that changed with my feed.
I’ll revert back to 1/2c. Is there anything else I need to consider at this stage of flower for an “organic” grow?

Do some research into your URB. I am running an organic grow right now that instead of teas, I am relying totally on a similar product, RealGrower's Recharge. I am not planning on doing any compost teas... just totally relying on the microbes out of the freeze dried packet of mix up goodness. URB is very similar, and probably could on its own supply the microlife to a mineralized soil. Remember, the purpose of the tea is not to feed the plants, it is to grow microlife that thrives on the inputs you supply. If you overload the tea with one specific nutrient, the microbes the feed on that substance will be the only ones to thrive and all the rest will diminish.

Yeah, I strayed outside the growers recommendations on just about everything but the soil build. He said not to add any nutes besides the half cup in the compost tea, that is done once a week. He said the initial bit you add to the soil mix is enough to carry them through the entire grow.
He alternates RO with seaweed, straight RO, and the compost tea.
I did try a new seaweed extract two waterings ago. I didn’t think it would be a big deal though. They seemed to love Neptune’s and BPs.
Pardon the mite scars. They were bad.
The Jacks
The Afghan
I know they are the greatest pics. I came home to the power strip with my rear fans tripped, so I got in and out as quick as I could. SMH. I’ll get a lot better ones tonight without the blurple.

A few pics of the Afghan
This one has quite a few sets of lighter leaves.
Tips are burned
The Jack with the tips burned
I’m thinking I’ll just water the next two cycles and see where they are.
They also just went through the stress of removing a SCROG, a good trim, and being moved around a lot to get them supported.
I feel bad, but I know they’ll bounce back.

I haven't found that moving my plants causes them any stress. And I pick up each one and move it twice a day!
