I was looking on the Mandala website and the photos of plants they used to illustrate the nutrient deficiencies looked like all my plants!
My plants seemed to get progressively worse during mid-flower and by the end, they show all of the leaf defects that indicate serious nutrient deficiencies- dried, broken, curled, twisted, discolored, necrotic leaves all over the plants.
The only thing that should cause such severe, widespread condition is nute lockout, I think, and I discovered that the water runoff from my pots were around pH 5.9, while the nute/water I'd been using all during the grow was 6.3-6.5.
Something wasn't right, so I flushed them and started feeding them plain water. But they are into their 9th week of flower and they all have cloudy trichs, some even have a few amber. But there's not much more I can do at this late stage.
Is it worth letting them go longer or harvest them based on their trichs? I wouldn't like them turning all amber.
