Various plant issues - Ace Malawi, Panama x Bangi Haze, Thai Chi

[therevverend]

Good call by Koondense about the dry air. Probably contributes to the papery leaf deal. The Malawi has some of the same issues as the others only not as bad. N, P, K, Mag, deficiency. When your soil is low on nutes it doesn't retain water the way it should. Next time try adding a bit of organic material, chicken manure or steer manure. It'll solve some of your deficiency problems and make your soil a little robust. Not a lot, maybe a couple of cupfuls per container. Depending on how hot it is. Outdoors in containers I was using 50/50 composted steer manure because I knew it wouldn't burn. After you get better at reading your plants and dirt mixes this will get much easier. In my early days of growing I worried much more about over-feeding then I do know. I grow mostly outdoors in the ground these days. The most striking difference I've noticed is how confined the roots are in containers, how much you have to feed them. In the ground a plant will spread it's roots nearly 2 meters in all directions along with a deep tap root. This is why they require such a large amounts of nutrients in containers.

Thanks - definitely will consider dry amendments next time as I know my soil comes with limited nutrients.

In saying that, I’d probably rather just try adding the dolomite lime I purchased and following a proper nutrient schedule and see how far that gets me next round. I definitely heavily underfed these in weeks 1-4 of flowering

looks like N def and perhaps a touch of Mg def to me.

Air isn't too dry for the temps (running constant 60-65% RH now). A few days ago I reduced RH to 50% with a dehumidifier but it nearly killed the seedlings in my second tent.. So I'm sticking to 60+ RH now I have great control over temp/humidity if any issues arise.

Good news - everything bounced back really well following feedings, my other Malawi plant finally kicked into flower a week or two ago and has stretched a lot, it's now a similar size to the other Malawi and is a lot bushier. End of week 7 of flower tomorrow. Looking like I'll get some big buds from the Malawis and Panama x Bangi Haze. The Thai Chi was stunted by losing 1/3 roots in solo cup -> 5 gal transplant but looks like it'll pull over an oz of what appears to be VERY nice dense. resinous, citrusy buds.

The Panama x Bangi haze has a fantastic structure and vigorousness.
