well things have progressed nicely since the last problem i encountered. the buds are really starting to fatten up. Starting about 3 weeks ago i noticed the infamous N deffincy starting again, so i increased the strength of my feeding to 5 tsp per gallon feed every other watering. and one day in-between in which the plants received nothing. i started to notice that the plants were drooping a lot more and determined that the cause was underwatering which means that they were consuming more water the I thought. I altered my feeding/watering schedule to combat this which seemed to work for a while, one day plane water the next day food, one day plane water, ect. and they seemed to take very kindly to it.
two weeks ago the N Deff had gotten worse not by much mind you but worse so i increased the stregnth of the feedings again to 6tsp per gallon and they still did not get any better the yellowing continued .
brings me to this week, sunday, i decided that the best course of action was to feed every day with a half strength solution 1.5 tps of food per gallon. i cut off all the old growth that was dying so i would have a clean healthy looking plant in order to determine if things were improving or not. Surprise Surprise it had gotten worse some more leafs are starting to yellow and on top of that now have nute burn to complement the problem. i realize that by that all that is rite i should re pot into a bigger container but circumstances wont allow it, they will have to live out the remainder of their lives in these 1 gallon containers.
so how do i replenish the nutrients in the soil for a longer lasting source of nitrogen or how should i alter my feeding schedule to avoided the burn and cure the deff? And I if am way off base please correct me.
