ok I have some updates about the 3 older sisters, some good, some bad.
Diva: She's putting some weight on the flowers. The little buds on the top are filling out all the space on the canopy. It's turning into one big bud all the way through. I'm really excited about her. Not a single pollen sack was found ever since that one day. However, her bottom leaves (about 6 of them) yellowed up overnight
! I just did my morning peek, and the bottom of the plant was straight yellow. Uniform yellowing throughout, and FAST. My diagnosis was nitrogen deficiency. So I went ahead and fed her some grow big because I've been taking it really easy with the nutes. I'm hoping this will help. I clipped all the yellow leaves away, she's looking really good without them (no sign of damage on anything else). Any input on this would be much appreciated. I have no idea what I'm doing lol.
Blueberry: This one was kind of paused for a week. I'd notice growth on all of them, except for her. She developed the claw shaped leaves. And is very green in color, literally blue green. She got very droopy. After 2 minutes of research I figured it's nitrogen toxicity and other nutes are locked up. It was textbook N-tox. I gave her a good flush with 2 gallons of dechlorinated water containing 3 tsps of FloraKleen (spelling?). She perked up within 12 hours
. Now she has spiked up leaves (still dark green, but much more lively). And she's actually showing flowering signs (stretching overnight). Her flowers are back to life, and all in all she's looking great again.
Siberian: Looked very droopy and kind of paused growth. While I noticed obvious growth on others almost day by day, the Siberian has been the same for almost a week. She has the claw leaves, but no dark green colors anywhere. It's more of the opposite, lighter green color. Almost faint yellow'sh light green color. Even her newest leaves at the canopy'sh (1 inch stretch starting the canopy-to-be) had the claw effect and lacked darker green color. She did suffer nuteburn, but she was flushed right after that. Lately I flushed her again with the blueberry, and with 3 gallons of dechlorinated water with 4 tsps of FloraKleen. But she has not responded in any way. I hate to see her like that, just paused, and generally looking unhealthy.
From my first 3 plants I learned a very important lesson in feeding autoflowers. Wait for the deficiency to feed. They just don't like it, and they don't hesitate in letting you know how much they hate it. Nuting them felt like nuking them every single time. My other plants with no nutrients whatsoever (in FFOF) look so much healthier and overall better. They are younger, but they're looking better than their older sisters in foliage and side-branching. The one point where my plants started suffering and problems started "appearing" was when I started feeding. Very little was changed other than the feeding. Being (almost) the only variable, I'm gona have to blame it on my eagerness to juice up my plants. Lesson learned
! Nuteburn is one of these things that you think happens to everyone else you read about but not yourself, naaa, I won't overfeed, that guy obviously overdid it LOL!!
Cheers everybody! I hope this helps anybody in any way. I know I talked a lot, I just wanted to make sure I included details. I'm sure anybody with a sick plant would appreciate the details lol.
