Is she sick? Or just stressed?

[Newmichfarmer531]

Hey guys and gals, how is everyone so far this year? So after a week of looking at these tips looking this way following a heavy dose of nitro I'm starting to think that this is a direct result of supercropping?? Is she just stressed and burning the tips of the leaves? Or is she sick and have a defenciency? If anyone has any feedback please help. Thanks

Looks like a potassium deficiency

 

[One drop]

Yes it dose . +1 Od .

 

[Newmichfarmer531]

Yes it dose . +1 Od .

You said +1 od is that an overdose?

No my name is One Drop I was agreeing with LD , LittleDabbie‘s post . Od.

 

[Newmichfarmer531]

Oh ok gotcha. Do I'm new this year you guys what would be the best way of approaching this potassium defenciency

If your want to go organic I use Banana skins I place them yellow side up on surface of the pot round the plants base as they break down an as you water they release potassium an old timers trick taught to me by an old timer himself . Or you can get to you local hydro store and get it in a bottle , if you give us a rundown on the plants history that will help the community. Od.

Fertilizer, But check yer PH first make sure your not locking anything out.

Yea fer sure. The plant were started inside late April. Strain is chem dawg. 1 1/2 weeks in they were transplanted to a bigger pot with a 6 inch diameter. Has been growing steadily. 4 weeks in I transplanted them into 5 gal buckets. Havnt had any problems yet. 1 1/2 weeks ago I super cropped her. Squeezed stem and bent over and was doing well till about a week after SC I NOTICED she was growing upwards again so I gentle tried pushing back over when I did that the stem cracked a little bit that was about a week ago. Since then I reincorced stem with plant tape. Since the stem cracked tho is when I started getting the burnt tips and brown tips. I thought it was a nitro def. So I gave her a dose of nitro. But hasn't gotten bwtter

What growing medium are you using , when you say nitro you are referring to Nitrogen yes ?

 

[Beachwalker]

Soil looks compact, wouldn't be surprised if low pH was causing a lockout ?

 

[Newmichfarmer531]

Yes to referring to nitrogen. Growing in 5 gal buckets with local dirt and planting soil mixed. I'm getting ready to transfer them to the ground planting with these products

 

[Newmichfarmer531]

When I checked the pH in my soil a few days ago I was getting a reading of about 6.5-7

Hi P low K fertilizer possibly. Cannabis needs much more K than P and hi P can affect K availability.

 

[Newmichfarmer531]

So what your saying is high phosphorus low potassium?

 

[Newmichfarmer531]

Lemme say this. I've mixed ashes from wood in water 2 times and used as fertilizer. I just read it's high in phosphorus. Would the tips be burnt from using the ash in water to fertilize 2 x's
? Granted I'm at about 5-6 weeks and only have done this 2 X's

He saying to much P will lock out K which is vital for the plant .
