Last days of flower...major defficiencies...

[immaculate]

So basically she's pretty much done...bout 50% orange..here's the problem:

I know she's pretty much done. I've been flushing the past couple of waterings. I think what happened is a lockout due to letting her get too dry @ beginning of flowering/end of veg...my microscope will not be here for at least two days, and im worried that by then, the buds will be affected...right now they look so perfect...but in truth i guess they could go a couple more days..just worried..peace

a flush is supposed to cause 'major deficiencies'... but leaves should yellow up uniformly, and not really as pictured above... you could be right it is a pH issue or it could also be over-watering...

how long have they been flowering for?

got good ventilation?

if you know they are done, why do you need the microscope for?

good luck

lol guess i dont know...

been flowering bout 40-45 days...

...great ventilation...i think it might be ph issues..how long do you think i have?

Not a big deal, you may have started clearing them a few days too early, but don't freak out.
You'll be fine with some smooth smoke real soon. Right now the plant is just feeding on itself the way we intend it to do in final clearing.
It will yellow off its largest and oldest leafs in the process, but your buds should finish beautifully and smoke very tastefully.

Keep em well ventilated 24/7 these last few days to keep mold from forming and trim away any totally yellowed & trashed leafs while you're at it.
This will hasten the clearing/finishing process while forcing more yellowing and giving the finished buds that perfect burn and smooth taste.

For a stealth micro cabinet grow, you've done damn a fine job. Be proud !

Thanks a lot. I feel much better now...first real indoor complete, so naturally I've kinda hastened things..figured I flushed a bit too early...

...they are very fruity, greatly looking forward to the taste...got them well vented too, so mold shouldn't be an issue...you got me all excited now...thanks a lot for the props...it's a wonderful thing this is...peace.

Looks like to much food, which explains your ph change. It's so easy to call to much to little, it does do a little of that. It isn't solved by giving more, not any time soon....not with your grow but in general.

I've been learning a lot of this in practice lately, nothing major but it could of gone that way. I've mostly learned if I can interject here, about ph adjustments and TDS. Mostly regarding giving a PH lower than the goal PH to bring down high ph as a lot of organics are alkaline. Basically when flushing with strait water you can give a much lower PH than if there was some matter in that water. It's taken me three waterings and the PH is still around 7.5 in my run off. It came to me, I wasn't aiming low enough since I didn't consider the lack of ions. The PH measures the ION activity, not the amount of ions. So when there is more matter in my water, the PH is much more effective as there is so much matter in my soil. Probably a good equation out there somewhere, variables being the TDS and PH of the soil run off and then the TDS and PH of the flushing material. PH'd water doesn't effect soil PH much, not without food which always takes a lot more PH adjustment to see changes than strait water.

Anyhow, looks like to much food, probably alkaline but you didn't share that run off. Definitely looks like over watering too, doesn't flush to well without the chemistry figured out.

It's the one thing about this, solving a criteria problem sometimes neglects the true biology. Flushing to solve problems can severely damage a plants uptake, small changes are not always easy with a 'companion plant'.

yes man, let them go for a bit longer, so long as your ventilation is good, relative humidity is good and temps are good, you should have no problem at all. keep on just giving the lady plain water too.

peace!

By the looks on those pics you have up there you started your flush too soon......They look like they are about 2-3 weeks out until you start seeing amber trichs...You will be amazed how much fattening up those buds still have to go in the last weeks of bloom.

Looks to me like they are yellowing up as they take the nutes they have stored in the leaves.And if they have been staying pretty damp in between flushes,they probably have PH lockout from that.Sometimes it is better to ride the problem out.If that is possible.

Dont take my advice for it though.Plenty other members on here that im sure can offer better info for you.Dont worry it will work out for you.

Good Luck.
