Deficiency issue?

ElManiaco · Apr 1, 2014

So I have been have this issue with the Chemdog D x Fire OG bx3 momma. She will act healthy one day, then shows me a problem. She's really finicky & I'm trying to keep her continuously healthy. I know these strains are problematic to anyone but skilled growers so... I figured as long as I'm doing organic, with all major & trace nutrients available, that I'd be good. But nope.. It's in 6th-7th week veg in soil (happy frog, perlite mix) organic nutes (Bio-Tone 5-4-4, w/myco's & beneficial bacteria) They're under cfl's (24hrs.), temps in the 68 (night)-80 (day) range, fresh air always, ph'd water @6.4-6.8 ( ph meter, calibrated often), cal-mag (5-10ml) every other watering. She's in a 3gal. smartpot which aerates the roots to prevent being root bound.
Am I missing anything/ doing something wrong with her?

Or am I being too anal bout my ladies??? :banghead: What to do, what to do.... Maybe not enough quality time & communication or singing her some ol' school classics? :singing:Lmao!

nice plant..beautiful really..those tips look perfect.
I might suspect that you have slight issues from dry pots or dry soil spots..as she's pretty big for a 3 gal...that would make a leaf go funky. Def would feed her often enough. The other issue might be salinity or something in the tap she doesn't like? Or if in RO maybe not consistent with your cal-mag? ..but the tips look great..so it would tend to mean she's getting hers..but in RO I always build on top of CalMag every time till late flower. The D and Fire both have pretty specific needs for CalMag..in that they prefer high doses..is mainly why I even mentioned it. Over-all she looks superb and wouldn't even worry it!

I'll go ahead and do maybe 5ml of cal-mag every watering so she doesn't go without it every other watering. And I'll increase it slowly to 10ml & see what she tells me then.
Thanks @Natural for giving me that priceless info & taking your time to answer my concern. It's very much appreciated. Peace!

There's nothing I can really add to what Natural has just said. At worst I'm seeing a very slight phosphorous issue, but I wouldn't worry about it as it appears to be very slight and it very well may be that simply allowing a wee bit more of a pH range could correct it. Perhaps dropping allowing the range to be more like 6.2-6.8 (going a wee bit lower) because cannabis is generally an acid-loving plant.

Thanks sea, it would make sense that both plants are showing same issue & dropping ph will more than likely solve the issue. I'm really anal when it comes to my ph & staying within a specific range. With your advice, I'll let it swing down. Thank you for looking into my issue, much appreciated! ;)
