Figure its time to learn what im looking at. Hopefully.

Been growing for a while now but always struggle with deficiency/toxicity diagnosis.

Right now i have 4 plants in 5 gallon pots with promix bx, harvest hero perlite and gaia green 444. Temp never goes above 78, never drops below 68. All 4 of my plants look like they are missing something. Is that what yall see too or am i trippin?
Heres some pics.

Seems like the edges are yellowing, one plant also looks like its been in 90+ degrees as the leaves are wilted and tocoed. Everything was going so smooth and then i left for 4 days.

I gave each 1tbsp epsom as a topdress on 3/30 with 1 gal of water per pot.

 

[Goodshit97]

Only Gaia green all purpose 444 was amended in at 1tbsp per gallon of soil.
I havent added anything since i mixed up the soil 3/03.

@Shaded_One is your gia guy.
I think most going organic top off and tea monthly at least.
I was no good at organic.
Shade kills it and can help if he is not moody!

looks like light burn to me tbh...only happening on the tops closest to the lights and stuff underneath looks green?

with that being said I;

use tap water
don't pH nothin
add gypsum, epsom, and azomite
4 tablespoons per gallon of medium seems to be the sweet spot for the 444/284

Lightburn possible, went away for a few days and didnt move the light up, had it at 75% and came home it was like 10-14 inches from the canopy. Totally possible.

I dont ph anything and also use tap water. Only thing im not adding is gypsum and azomite.

Ill add 3tbsp per gallon this time and see where that gets me.

Appreciate ya man.

Isn’t Gaia green like 18% calcium? Think I read that somewhere. Zink def looks a lot like that too but rare

I would have to look at the container to see. Zinc was coming up for me when i was looking into it online but im not buying its zinc. Seems pretty uncommon.

Agreed

 

[PrimoClonesCanada]

I agree with shaded it being light burn. I bet your using led? Plants are super sensitive to those high powered led

Yes its led. Its the ViparSpectra ks3000. I had it on 75% and way to close so prolly light stress/burn.

Light is 22 inches away at 50%.
Gonna turn it down again to 25%, think theyre still getting to much.

Yep they are right at the edge of intensity - praying leaves would be the primary indicator that you are very close to too much.

"perky" is good, reaching for the sky is not :)

Also remember that lights are the primary driver for plant metabolism. The higher you increase/push your lights the more your nutrition needs to be on point to not see deficiencies.

Yeah they were nice and perky before i left, then they grew, now they wont stop reaching for the sky.
I guess i didnt realize how powerful this light really was.

This is what were are at now with the light at 22 inches 25%

 

[Goodshit97]

Sorry, now im sitting at 22 inches. 311 was at 18

My GMO is about 6" from the XS1500 pro in a few places. It's been on 75% and I just turned it down to 50% last night, wonder what kind of number she's been getting lol

[Goodshit97]

[Goodshit97]

Uninstalled the app, reinstalling now maybe itll be different.
