I feed them
fox farm products once every other Sunday straight r o water rest of the week
Hey Hood, I'm afraid I must disagree (respectfully) with my constituents thusfar. I believe you are showing a P def. Are you seeing any dark red or purple coloring on your stems and petioles? My bet is that you're showing allot of purple! Here's a pic I found thru Google Search, showing a classic P def.
Yours hasn't progressed quite to this stage yet, but at that feed level..IMO you'll be there before long! If you are feeding every other week only...I think this is why you're deficient. I run my
Fox Farm nutes with a feed every other watering. I let the plants tell me when it's time for that to happen by drying out really good between waterings. (The easiest way to make sure you're not watering too early or late, is to fill an identical pot/container with DRY soil as a comparison. When the pot with your plant is the same weight as the pot full of dry soil...it's time to water. If it feels the least bit heavier, wait and let her dry out a bit more. Before long, you won't even need the reference pot and can do it by feel. Forget about the plant. It's weight is negligible at this point and you don't need to allow for it. In Flower...yes!
I don't know how old/large your plants are, but a typical veg feed for me would be:
2 to 2-1/2 tsp. FF Grow Big
1 Tablespoon FF Big Bloom
20 drops cal/mag
Depending on where in veg I was (how long until I planned to flip) I might also be adding:
1 tsp Blackstrap Molassis
1 small scoop FF Open Sesame (The scoop they give you inside the jar only...and MAKE CERTAIN you use the smaller of the two scoops! The powders can fry your shit fast if you overdo them)! I'm giving mine this level of feed every other watering. I just alternate feed/water/feed/water. Then I let the plants tell me if they need more. Some strains would be getting 3 tsp GB...it all depends on their needs. I pH to 6.4-6.5 only. Also...I'm in FF Ocean Forrest Soil with added Perlite to help it dry faster. When your plants are larger and drinking well, you should be feeding them once or twice a week at the above level. I'd also advise adding a Cal/Mag supplement to the FF product line. FF is not high in either element and I get defs without it.
Hope this is helpful. bro. If you've been feeding a weaker mix every other week, I'd work them up to this level with 1 or two feeds. Actually, with yours I'd probably just hit them with 2 tsp GB, and 1 TBSP Big Bloom asap. They are starving and that level won't burn them!
Best of luck!
Max :wacky:
