whats the problem momma

 

[tinderthumbs]

keep going yellow on me not sure whats up looks like N def but when feed almost over night looks like N tox with the tips pointing down then at worst gets lil brown spots and die this happen allover the plant not just the light weak leafs sheading with age

Calcium deficient comes to mind. Got any pics?

 

[fatawa]

Bugs?send us pics if yur home please

 

[fatawa]

I kno yur not a noob either mama but what r u bringing ph down to?u too high to catch yur "n"?

 

[tinderthumbs]

6.5-7ph always I went to take a pic but bat is dead so got it on the charge now

 

[fatawa]

6.5-7ph always

that sounds good.obviously in soil

 

[GanjaNGains]

What nutes are u using? Calcium could be the cause of the spots popping into up but if your using a Cal mag then that shouldn't happen

 

[GanjaNGains]

Also is it one strain or multiple strains?

Sounds like salt buildup which tends to lock out mag and or calcium and show alternating toxicity/ deficiency in nitrogen and maybe potassium.

I always use at least 15% runoff to ensure any left over salts are washed out. And I mix in 20% perlite to make sure it all drains easily.

Also the nutes in the soil are left out of balance after some have been uptaken by the plant so when you pour a fresh mixture in it the runoff insures the new saturation is the correct ratio.

Little wordy answer for a runoff percentage but I hope it helps explain why we need runoff.

And with doing this if I get the feed strength right I never need to leach (flush) my pots even with 12 weekers.

well worded

organic nute I thought don't have salts that is why I started using them no burn

 

[tinderthumbs]

I use earth juice with Epsom salt kicker but I try my best to not over do the Epsom salt and that is mostly used only in veg when I have some mag fading

yes all lsd

well worded

Thank you. I was hoping it would make sense.
