Is this a nutrient deficiency?

I did add some Iron Earth to the soil. I had never used this before and it does have calcium in it.

Should I flush the soil with water?

 

[Aqua Man]

Doesn't look over watered. How long have you seen these symptoms and are they getting worse? The damaged leaves won't get better.

Do you have the ability to do a slurry test?

Im almost wondering if this is an issue that has already been corrected with you up potting.

 

[JayMan9]

I have a second plant showing similar problems. The third plant looks fantastic. All have been grown in the same way , fed the same way.

It seems to have gotten worse over the last few days. I will remove the damaged leaves.

How do I do the slurry test?

 

[Aqua Man]

Take a soil sample in a glass or measuring cup. Add distilled water and stir for a min. 2 parts water 1 part soil. Let is sit until the soil settles and then test the ppm and ph

 

[JayMan9]

I looked it up, I'll have to get some distilled water.

 

[Aqua Man]

I looked it up, I'll have to get some distilled water.

I would do that before anything else.

 

[JayMan9]

I would do that before anything else.

Thanks very much.

This is my second time growing and I didn't run into any problems last year. Seems like I've done something wrong...

If you have RO water that will work. Tap water will work if you just test the ppm first then subtract it from the total only for ppm though don't use tap to test ph

Are they flowering have buds set yet

I can not see any buds yet.

 

[DiverDown]

Idk I can see salinity for the life of me I can't seem to grasp ph since K is sooooo available over a wide range. Maybe another nutrient but not K.

I agree that flushing would correct any of our thoughts of cause. PH, salinity or the off chance of high calcium.

My plants get a flush with the rain! Once a week at least.

Do you have pics of yours?

 

[DiverDown]

Do you have pics of yours?

I wish, unfortunately it is storming outside!!!!! Will take some shots tomorrow! CT shoreline storm!

Should I flush the soil with water?

Not if you just repotted, it will take a week or 2 to recover

 

[JayMan9]

Looks like the PH is between 5 and 6. I only have PH test strips and not a metre.

Yeah looks about 6 so you are low. How about the ppm?

 

[DiverDown]

Just differences in perspectives. I didn’t notice it was so big and healthy. Thought I might be able to offer help.View attachment 882737

Wow, is this the type of fencing that I should put across the top when they bud to hold them up? ( assuming they do) I have been searching to find something. You certainly don't!!,

 

[JayMan9]

I don't have any way to test ppm currently. Do you have any suggestions?

 

[JayMan9]

Yeah looks about 6 so you are low. How about the ppm?

I would have thought that optimal was between 5.5 and 7??
