Ok that makes all kinds of sense. I will promptly mix up a batch of 100% strength nutes and feed her in the am. I didnt realize a deficiency of nutes for such a short time would do as much damage but she has proven me wrong. Can I make her healthy again? Time will tell.you are following the advice of too many advisers...
ok... so you have a deficiency caused by not getting the right nutes. You figured out that you needed to supply those nutes and you went to two places in order to get the flowering nutes you needed.
Good so far...
Then, contrary to logic, you decided that your plant needed a 3x flush. Not the strongest move on the board, that. At that point, she has no nutes... zero...
tick tock... the problem is getting more pronounced....
So that overnight was rough, and some more leaves were scavenged... and she went into survival mode... metabolism down to zero and all that. A girl has to survive after all.
Then you fed with half nutes. I had to read that twice. You have a starving plant, now really starving, and you gave it half strength nutes. I am a professional chess player. In that world, we would call this move a blunder. One can recover from blunders, but it always changes the shape of the board.
So the yellowing is progressing...
That is totally logical and to be expected. Let's say that the desired nute level is 1. Before you started this you were at a -5 on nutes available to the plant that it needed. When you flushed, you went down to a -8. Half feeding, you came back up to a -3, only slightly better than you started. You are needing to play catch up. Full feeding is entirely appropriate at this point. Feeding at 150% at least once, without a flush, in the chess world would have been labeled as a brilliant move as it would have allowed the plant to catch up and get on with things, without losing any more leaves or development at the top.
You are a godsend to my cannabis world @Emilya and again - I thank you.
