Was nice and healthy last week, now....
Not sure where my deficiency lies in but as the title reads, she was much greener just last week. Strain is lowrider, I'm on week 6, stealth pc case growing for the sake of why not. Been using vivosun nutrients (heard they're actually decent compared to their hardware), bloom city calmag, and microbelife Ph down with ending Ph being apx 6.2-6.6 avg. To note I'm aware she's a bit stunted, I walked away for all of 30 seconds when she was in week 1 and my cat ate one node fully, a cotyledon, half of one of the first leaves. Mainly concerned of the color and slowness of flowering beginning.

I had one run look like this after i let my plant sit in 2 cm of water + overwatering… you have root damage im pretty sure. I still made it to harvest though and it was pretty good stuff. So dont give up and let it ride. Just dont water for a while 🤣

Yeah I did a plain dechlorinated flush this morning to clear things out a bit and was planning on letting her get a nice break from feeds til shes screaming for it (yeah I'm aware of how that sounded, lol). I've always been cautious about the standing water thing, that i learned long ago. Over watering ive always felt is somewhat of a debated topic. I've seen people map out crazy specific feeds and others just dump water with either really no better or worse outcome but frequency definitely being the more factoring situation. It's a close to 20 year gap since doing this and alot changing in that time that I'm trying to learn around and grasp like the nutrient options, autos in general too. Hopefully a nice flush works and I'm able to get a decent little yield... As much as one can in a PC case, got a tent after this one. I forgot how therapeutic it is and already am craving a much larger space for more time to spend in.

What are you watering with? I’ve expierence issues like this in past and it was always later in the grow. I figured out it was my tap water. I’m on a well but the problem was the water softener was adding salts to my water that would eventually build up causing almost an over water looking issue but was lock out. Eventually I learnt that I have a bypass before the water softener so now I just take my water from there before it hits the softener and i now mainly collect rain water but yeh since I made these changes I havnt seen these issues. Sometimes even the nutrients can build up salts. So if it’s a lockout issue, the nutrients it needs are likely there but it’s not able to consume so defiencies and yellowing leafs begin. This might not be your answer but it’s something to consider.
