Potassium Lockout - Pics included

Looking again at your first pictures. I'd say from grow tips: lockout solved, those plants need nutrients.

Hello,

Understood, I am a bit sceptical how to proceed as the strain is nute sensitive - meaning it doesnt need much.

As crisduar has suggested I’m in the process of bubbling up a simple compost tea and use malted barley for the enzymes.

This was also my initial plan before posting here - plain water for a week or two and then a compost tea. I believe I have enough food in the mix, I just need to give it a microbial nudge.

I would rather not risk it with any guano teas but I do have bat guano and kelp meal at hand.

Any objections here?

No.
Not enough insight into theas.
If nutrient sensitive, don't go heavy. Just back to normal.

Even if nutrient sensitive, I think your initial problem of a lockout was fixed perhaps after first time you corrected judging from new tips in your bud, and what you have been experiencing from then on is result of two weeks of no feeding at week 4-5 of flowering.

Watered with LAB solution 2 days ago, plants seem to be doing good.


No further chlorosis spotted, leaf tips in flowers still deep green.


Adding AACT today. Probably a dose of barley SST next week.

I actually grind malted barley bought from a brew shop and water it in. I call it SST.


Care to explain why SST is a waste of barley or just stating "facts" here?
