Ph? Nutrient deficiency. Mites can reek havoc if not exterminated.

Ph runoff when watered with ph water at 6.5 comes out at 6.4 to 6.7. I’ve been using bug b gone and Neem oil for the mites but they are persistent little buggers

Plants in distress, get some green cleaner in the mix. Personally I make my own mite extermination juice, habenaro spray.

Up your nutrient intake. Jacks citrus is probably not giving her enough.

Yeah you can’t have them. You’re in veg kill em. Be done with em n move forward. Are your pots drying quick in there? I seen you been feeding what overall strength? Like say 50% of their directions or 100% ???
I just had mites too. Broad mites. I got a cure for em. Green cleaner is good stuff too.
Get back with feed strength n are they about dry every time you go to em?
Like the demand has just went through the roof?

Max dose with jacks would be 1tsp . I’m usually at 1/2 tsp on bigger plants, but dropped it back when I had these issues fearing I had lockout. I usually give them 1/4 quart a water a day and they are pretty dry at that point.

Promix requires calmag every watering as it’s an inert media, feed and water it like coco

Feed her some 16-16-16, jacks slates lacks in nitrogen and phosphorus

Come on guys, easy. This is a K deficiency. Right? Mixed with a slight Zn deficiency. See the yellow margins around the outside of the leafs? K deficiency. See the tip of the leaf that has a slight twist, Zn deficiency. The full yellow lower on the plant tells me low N also, and the pale color of the plant tells me low Ca.

Also, take a look at the first picture, and one of the first fan leaves. Can you see how the leaf is starting to lose color and is slightly blotchy? This is the cell walls breaking down, and PM about to infect the plant. Seen it a 100 times, especially with K deficient plants. Get some food in her, quick IMO.


She is hungry!

I just tested the ppm of my well water and it’s at 255ppm ! It use to always be at 135-145

send it in for a water sample. Only way you are going to know what's in that water, and what's effecting your grow. IMO. Hard water can be a big problem depending on what is making the water hard.
