Okay i'll try to keep this as short as possible, to be honest im not sure there's much I can do at this stage as im at week 7 and it's only supposed to take 8-9 weeks but I always allow for an extra week anyway.
Strain: White Queen
Medium: Bio Bizz light mix
Food: canna terra flores/ topmax bloom stim/ atami bloombastic and every 2 feeds I give a small feed of alga-mic.
Temps: 48f lights off - 73f with lights on (temps taken at soil level)
Lights & vent are fine.
History: A few bouts of stress, during veg they went about 9 days without water, they recovered okay but stunted growth and lost a lot of the foilage. Even worse the first 2 weeks into flowering I had fan problems so temps were too high (90-92f) this caused more stunted growth and more foilage lost. After that, the last 5 weeks everything else has been okay. PH always tested with meter and run off is around 6.5.
I never knew about still giving a bit of N during the flowering so thats why i've started to add a bit of algamic. With the foilage loss I also noticed I never had proper 'fan' leaves so my other theory is that normally while these yellow up towards the end, instead it's using the N from the 'middle leaves' instead?
As this is a remote grow, on occasions they are left to dry out too much but nothing too severe, so these pics are taken after 5 days without a feed.
As i've never flushed them, I decided to give them a flush yesterday but im not expecting the yellow leaves to recover. Im just hoping to avoid 'bud growth loss' in the last few weeks. Im also not too concerned as the bud growth throughout as been steady and has really picked up in the last week or so. Also the yellowing leaves have been showing up (not as bad) for the last 4 weeks.
Any comments/suggestions as to what I may be doing wrong? Im putting it down to the stress/under watering/lack of proper fan leaves and that it's close to the end of the cycle.
Constructive criticism welcome and feel free to ask any questions if i've missed anything
Thanks growers!
p.s Im really excited as this is my first grow for about 5 years!
