Day 23 of flower

Still fighting the bugs and I think Sour Diesel stalled out. It’s a little too early for a color change so I’m thinking I overdid it with the Spinosad. Haven’t seen but one live miner though. Anyway, gave them all some Cal-mag in case of deficiency if that’s the issue but I doubt it.
Otherwise they look healthy.

Yeah, that's more of a P deficiency than Ca, but P can be caused by low temperatures as well which makes it hard for the plant to process it. So, still a plant deficiency, but not necessarily a soil deficiency so in that case adding P to your soil wouldn't necessarily help.

So, first question is, have you had cool temps in your grow space recently?

Thanks. No not really cold per se. But pretty big swings, from 84F to 67F when coldest. Maybe causing not to take in K? Not enough Geo Bloom? Or bugs?
 
Could be she's messing with your head!
 
Day 24 of flower

It seems I’m chasing the bugs from pot to pot. Some days they’re more concentrated in spots than others. I’m not seeing any dead ones on the floor so that’s good. I have a pretty good spider population too, one in each corner. They catch quite a few.

I gave C.G a little boost up into the light, I should have done this a while ago. I also took off another 10 or so fans off the top. Buds are gettin chubby.

That'll be extra giggly weed!

@Azimuth, definitely going with strain dependent. It’s only the largest fans changing. Interesting.

The inspector took one sniff and turned right around. She’s not a big fan of the smell.

Day 30 of flower

I finally got around to buying more stakes and plant wire. I pulled up and rearranged every bud I could under the lights.
I’m not sure what to think of Sour Diesel. She’s completely burned off a couple fans but the rest of her looks fine. I top dressed her 4 days early incase she’s just hungry. But where’s the purple coming from before hand? It’s a deep solid purple, I’ve never seen a deficiency like that.
I finally interrupt the bug cycle I think, the traps were comparatively clean this morning.
The sips are awesome. I put 1 gallon through the top and 1.5 in the reservoirs topping them off a day before yesterday. Today they took another 1.5 in the reservoirs no problem.

That's a P deficiency, but that can be caused by cooler temperatures affecting the plant's ability to process P, but doesn't necessarily mean there's either a deficiency or lockout.

In some strains, like the grapes and the purples, it's a genetic trait.

Ahh, thanks, I get it now, it adds up. 1) We have had a consistent nighttime temperature drop over the last couple of weeks. 2) She’s next to the concrete side of the room making it the coldest side. 3) She’s big and hungry. 4) She’s 90-10% Sativa dominant and more sensitive in general, whereas the Strawberry Cough is 80-20% giving it enough Indica to avoid all this shxt. Am I close? This is also probably the reason I have problems late with my land race Sativas.

Solution? I’ll swap spots with Candy Gelato and put my heater on a timer to go on at night. I’ll try and keep the swing inside 10F. Thanks again. I didn’t really believe it the 1st time you told me because Sativa’s are supposed to use less P, but like you said abundance isn’t the problem.

Plenty of growers deliberately cool down their space to get the pretty colors but, since it indicates a deficiency, that practice never made any sense to me. They say it happens late enough in the grow that the harvest is minimally affected, but there's enough natural issues that can diminish a harvest that I don't need to be drumming one up on my own.
 
I swapped the plants around and added a heater. I set the heater timer opposite the lights and turned it on to 40%. This morning the temperature was 73F before lights on, so a little better. The hottest part of the room is 84F so I turned the heater to 50% to get it a few degrees warmer, I’d like to keep it under a 10 degree swing if I can. I’ll check in the morning.

They're looking great, and I think 73º nighttime temps are perfect if you want to save some money on the electric bill.
