I have a mother plant that I just put to flower. She is about 10 months old and has given me several clean clones. She has always had an issue with the lower leaves dying but I always thought it was from the crappy veg light I used. But now she is on a quality light and the same thing is happening also the upper leaves have become twisted and stopped prying. I checked the PPFD and it’s at 600nm so I don’t think it’s a light issue.
This is the first time I have flowered such a large old plant. I’m in week 2 of flower but wondering if I should just cut my loses and start a new plant?
Why cut them down, I think they need a good defoliation at first, I would clean alot of those bottom stems and fan leaves off. What size pots are you using?
You do know that some “yellowing” is natural/OK What type of nutrients are you using ? if concerned give your plants a 4-5 day flush then re-adjust nutrients… Also for Mother Plants they need a special nutrient reg-a-ment Hope this helps
I use the no till living soil system. So I front load my nutes with Build A Soil craft blend. When she was in veg I would add it every couple months with some extra alfalfa meal for higher N. Than a couple weeks before flower I did just craft blend. I have been running this system for 3 years using the same soil and have multiple earth boxes. So I don’t think it’s a nute issue.
