The pic is from my current grow and I am using GH nutrients. I then asked it how to fix phosphorus issues using this product line and it gave me a detailed explanation below. The spacing is all messed up after pasting it in but this will be so helpful for new and experienced growers.
Adjust Nutrient Solution:Use
General Hydroponics Flora Series nutrients, which consist of
FloraGro,
FloraBloom, and
FloraMicro.Increase the proportion of
FloraBloom in your nutrient mix.
FloraBloom is high in phosphorus and potassium, which can help correct the deficiency.A balanced mix might look like this (for the flowering stage, as phosphorus deficiency is more common here):
FloraGro: 1 partFloraBloom: 3 partsFloraMicro: 2 partsFor example, if you are using 10 ml of
FloraMicro, you would use 15 ml of
FloraGro and 30 ml of
FloraBloom.Flush the System: If you suspect nutrient lockout, flush your hydroponic system with pH-balanced water before introducing the adjusted nutrient solution. This helps remove any buildup of salts and ensures nutrients can be absorbed effectively.Monitor and Adjust: After adjusting the nutrients, monitor your plants for signs of recovery. Phosphorus deficiencies can take a little time to correct, but new growth should appear healthy.Here’s a step-by-step guide:Step 1: Measure the pH of your nutrient solution and adjust it to the optimal range if necessary.Step 2: Mix the
General Hydroponics Flora Series nutrients according to the adjusted ratios.For example, for 1 gallon of water:2.5 ml FloraGro7.5 ml FloraBloom5 ml FloraMicroStep 3: If nutrient lockout is suspected, flush the system with pH-balanced water before adding the new nutrient solution.Step 4: Add the adjusted nutrient solution to your hydroponic system.Step 5: Monitor your plants closely over the next few days to ensure they are recovering and showing signs of healthy growth.
