Hey guys. I am having this problem consistently where, maybe 3 weeks to a month into the flowering phase, I start getting signs of deficiencies on the newer growth. Nearly all lower growth looks very healthy.
It seems as though they need more of something in flowering that I haven't been able to provide with the standard Technaflora dosing chart. I usually add an extra 20% of MagiCal because, to me the problem presents as a calcium shortage.
I need a better understanding of what they are requiring in flowering that they are not in vegetative. It seems that even though I switch nutrient phases, there is still something lacking or in excess.
Most trichomes are clear, starting to turn cloudy, so I do not think it is the natural end of life cycle.
I think many people might say that I should switch to a more cannabis friendly nutrient mix like advanced nutrients. I may do that, but right now I have a lot invested in Technaflora and would like to figure out what I can do differently with it.
If it's a Ca problem, should I add even more MagiCal or should I create a foliar spray?
