What’s your ph? Looks like the start of a ph lockout

 

[NairnM16]

Has overall growth been slow?

Your feed concept is excellent , guano and castings are the best ....
Do you know how to check for mites ?
Is it hot under your light .....

You said you messed up ? Do you mean , because you didnt feed the ?
Because they look well fed , if anything they are overfed , causing some nutrient burn issues

I messed up on the feed i was trying to make it on week three or four so they dnt run out of nutes yeah it was alil hot had them 8in above canopy ive since moved them up to about 12in yeah they got nutrient burn the first two weeks after transplant have you ever brewed any teas before i have another plant the has a mag deficiency im feeding her with epsom salt to feeding so far and did one florer spray so far

Just remember you get out what you put in,
If you slack the plants slack try maintain perfect conditions nd you’ll find yourself doing less work in the long run and the plants just thrive from the start

Yeah i know i wasnt really ready for this run now i have everything just to get this and my other girl fixed

 

[Jon1410]

What’s your ph? Looks like the start of a ph lockout

So this is what i got for the ph
Durban in 6.6 runoff 6.1
Purple in 6.4 runoff 6.1 what are your thought

 

[THCMonster]

Those spots look like early stages of calcium deficiency

And the yellow striping on the leaves looks like magnesium deficiency

Thank you for the reply the mag problem im fixing by watering with epsom salt they just got their 3rd water with it last night and ok ill start looking for something to give me calcium i thought my tap water would provide enough i get calcium build up on everything you minding taking a look at my run test does that seem normal

You mean the 6.5 going in and the 6.1 coming out? If so then yeah thats fine!

I wont recommended your run off coming out no lower then 5.8

Also if the low ph worries you i would recommend amending your soil with dolomite lime, that will actually give you time release Calcium and Magnesium, and it will buffer your PH.

yeah the ph going in is 6.5 an runoff is 6.1 an ok ima go to my hydro store today to pick up some lime and oyster shells i know they both take time to break down do you know what i could add to help with the calcium problem now or wait it out have you ever used seaweed

 

[THCMonster]

The calcium isnt bad on your plants its hardly in a deficiency some i would just add the lime and oyster shell and wait it out and yeah seaweed or any algae product like kelp extract/kelp meal are great to use! Its a natural PGR and it helps stimulate root production/growth. Either liquid or the soil amendment are great, but try not to use both at the same time. Also if you use the soil amendment kelp meal and mix it into the soil or top dress the soil dont be alarmed if you see a ton of white fungus that looks like mold growing on it after a while! Thats actually highly beneficial. It will look alot like this:

Ok cool thanks for all the information and ok i will keep a eye on trying to do all dry amendments no bottles only to adjust ph unless you know of a different way

 

[THCMonster]

Well bottles will only temporarily change the ph of your nutrients, the only way you can change PH long term is through amendments.

Another natural PH up amendment is Potash.

If you dont want to over do the calcium and magnesium from the Lime or Oyster shell then use potash.

Hope this helps

 

[NairnM16]

So this is what i got for the ph
Durban in 6.6 runoff 6.1
Purple in 6.4 runoff 6.1 what are your thought

I use coco I prefer 6.00
But normally around 5.95-6.05

 

[THCMonster]

Yea but he's not in Coco, he's in FF dirt

6.0 run off is not bad at all but for dirt its on the low end in my opinion... Usually you want to shoot for 6.2-6.5 in soil

But in dirt with organic material it it you should never get the same PH that you feed in as what you get for run off, especially with all the organic material and minerals breakdown over time

Ok will to be ok to do all three but not a full recommended feed lets say 1/3 strength im on the edge of a nutrient lock out then?

Thank you i did coco for a pervious run years ago never got to finish them life got in the way
