Well, all...I'm growing in coir. The plants are long-flowering land-race strains that have been doing beautifully, until about the 10th week. Suddenly, seemingly out of nowhere, two of my plants have developed a bad issue with what appears to be some kind of
nute burn. I'm open to any and all suggestions. The problem is, it seems to be moving VERY fast.
More specifics. The plants are watered and nuted daily. I have had no issues until 7 or 8 days ago, when I noticed that some of the fan leaves were getting burnt at the tips so I flushed the two plants that looked like they had an issue. Up until that point they had been getting 1300/1400 ppm., so I lowered the ppm to 800/900. Whatever...the damage started moving quickly. As you can see from the pictures, the sweet leaves are beginning to get whacked too...which creates issues when trimming.
I figure we have a few options...1) more flush and then feed weaker protocol; 2) final flush and harvest; 3) do nothing and take care of the it during the trim; 4) consider that it is not nute burn but some kind of other deficiency or disease and feed more. The biggest concern is how quickly it seems to be moving through two plants that were totally (to these eyes) healthy a week ago. I see no indication that it is from mold. I'm at a loss. I'm afraid that if I let it go it will affect the bud if it hasn't already.
I realize that this may be a coir problem...or a strain issue (they are African) with the nute regimen. I'm growing out several other strains that are not displaying these issues -even though they are of similar age.
Your thoughts/opinions, etc. are grreatly appreciated. THanks!!
