Hello All,
This is my first run. I recently got a setup and brought in some orphans from a friend. I dropped them in some ocean forest and saw tremendous leaf growth probably from the weeks/maybe months of malnourishment and small pots they were in. I'm guessing they just sucked up all the nutrients and exploded in growth. I started to notice after two feedings spaced out every 5-7 days *just regular ph water* that they were showing signs of nutrient deficiency. I'm also seeing sticky clear areas on the leaves and rusty looking spots. I did see one or two bugs one looked like an aphid the other can't say but it was coming out of the soil when I watered the third time with Cal Mag. I used the Cal Mag as soon as I started seeing leaf color changing. I've used Neem oil twice this week.
I'm guessing the medium they were in before was terrible, and throwing them in the fox farm still required nutrients after the growth explosion. I fed them some cal mag yesterday, and will use the fox farm veg nutrients on Monday. These are 7 gallon fabric pots, and I just started running 24/7 8 days ago*I noticed alot more growth and got lazy*
The last photo is before everything went to heck.
