hi Boo! :ciao: lovely flowering lovelies you have :)

If that's one of the oldest largest lower fan leaves it's not a surprise that a plant that big would start to lose those. If you see more like that you should feel free to bump the grams up again. Remind me what you're feeding it now?

It is a lower and older one and I was surprised to see it based on the overall plant condition....When I open the tent tomorrow it may be a different story! Z and ULH are both at 4.5 g per gal of MC. Z has slight tip burn from it (ULH looks like she might be able to take more, just sayin) and Z seems to be stretching a little more now that flower has begun. FYI- up until this weekend Ive been feeding at 1/2 gal increments more often in order to be able to adjust the nutes quicker than putting a gallon into a three gallon pot. They’ve taken the 1/2 gallons with a slight run off. This week I‘ve gone with full gallons for both and they've been running off about a quarter of that. Not sure if it matters but wanted to include that info.
 
Also, based on the lux readings from the tent and the cabinet, as well at the height of the three plants, I’m wondering if I should swap the Berry Ryder and the ULH. My reasoning is that the ULH is about a full foot shorter than the Z and BR. The ULH will fit in the cabinet well, is not stretching at all anymore, and could potentially do well with the straight down guaranteed lux at a certain height vs being in the tent with two lights that are at significantly different heights and power. Hopefully that makes sense? :cheesygrinsmiley:

Zkittles has been getting “frowny” towards the end of the day lately. Just a little droop going on and it’s not because she’s dry. In the morning she is a happy camper.

They sense the lights going off. No different then you yawning. In the morning they anticipate lights on and start to perk up again. Some strains show it more than others

.Totally new question. ULH and Z are both at 4.5 g/gal of MC and have a very slight burn at the tips.

The tip burn is most likely not a burn at all and I find they all green up as they get older.
BooWho2 said:
They’ve been fed at that level 3 times and it doesn’t seem to be getting worse (on the new growth).

Good!

I believe this means I should hold there and wait to see - or should I back off 1/2 gram, or up it 1/2 gram!

Because your plant is huge again, I'd be bumping the Z up to 5.5g. She's well into flower now and things will change fast if you're late to do so. Don't let the plant get as dry as you would in veg. Watering more frequently is critical now.
 
I can certainly understand the feeling of wanting to water less so you can make modifications more quickly, but watering to less than runoff means the feeder roots at the bottom of the pot are probably not getting fed. That alone will show as deficiencies. Once your plant fills the pot with roots, always water to runoff.

In terms of what plant fits best where, I'm sure you can go with your gut!

My guess is there's a shite load of roots starting to get all bunged up, so you may find there's not enough moisture getting to all of them whities.
 
Alrighty then! I will bump Z to 5g with runoff tomorrow and hopefully get her up to 5.5 by Sunday - she is thirsty! Honestly, I’m so into that girl that I’m Uber focused on her success. She looks like she could turn into an accidental monster and I’m am down with that! :slide:I think I will swap the BR and ULH. The Dreamberry I finished inthe cabinet is ver, very nice so... Thanks for all your help....and for trusting me. :thanks::hugs:

I’ve kinda noticed that now that I’ve been going thru the proper process.

Nope! I’ve been going with your “ think it will need feeding tomorrow, and doing it today” thought process which hopefully isn’t outdated!

Will do that from now on! See? Still stuff for me to learn! A baseline...

I have had a couple of beers and kinda stressful day and am happy to admit that I don’t know what that means. Sorry Shed - I‘m a dolt sometimes and you are always kind about it. :love:
 
I just meant you pulled my quote from other thread and posted it here. I hope your day improves with the night. :hugs:

Ah. Yes. I had pulled a lot of quotes and, well yeah. Thread shifter! Check!

I think that's Shed's quote. They sound familiar so I could be wrong. Mine goes something like this: if you watered every three days, water every two now. It's good advice either way. :thumb:

We are listing a crossing paths at the same time so no worries! And thank you.

Two truths and a lie....

* They are magic rocks
*I'm trying to flavor the soil with lithium.
*I used them to keep the leaves off of the dirt and just haven't removed them yet.

Lie= if you had lithium you might not waste it in the soil... :cheesygrinsmiley:

I missed this! Hi Amy! Thanks for stopping by. Honestly, I feel like the Zkittles has a beautiful structure and is getting great light, which is different from the ULH who is bushy and squat and stacking her buds amidst the business! I really need to learn the art of defoliating next. Seriously!

I was referring only to that lower leaf that had faded. That can happen if they are not getting much light ;) - which is a common occurrence for older fans, down low. So I was just adding to what shed said :)
:ciao:

I’m hearing you on family pathways one would rather not tread. Most of mine are such... so I’ll get stoned with you too!!
