Issues are getting worse need help

[Mr.GreenthumbOG]

Yup teas. Unless you have premix.
I use Diablo carb.

That’s what I was using, only used it twice

 

[Mr.GreenthumbOG]

It’s always better in a tea, no matter the brand, or format.
lots of aeration in the feed bucket.
let er go till she’s good and foamy.

 

[Farmerbob93]

do you check ppm run off? I’ve heard it’s not accurate and/or useless with soil. Just curious @Aqua Man

 

[Mr.GreenthumbOG]

Not that important, I only check runoff ppm in soilless. And really only if I feel the need, or when I’m finishing up before harvest.

Gotcha just the yellow leaves and burnt tips are throwing me off, if she’s hungry why would the tips be burnt doesnt that mean she’s over fed? Haha sorry I’m stoned thinking to much

 

[Mr.GreenthumbOG]

You could do a flush with nutes on the next water if you wish. How much runoff typically when you water?

 

[Madbud]

Rootlock.

Your tip burn is not excess nitrogen. It's on older leaves and is actually a deficiency.... burnt tips with Shiney dark green leaves that are clawing is the tip burn that indicates overfeeding.

Maybe 5-10%

 

[Mr.GreenthumbOG]

Shoot for a little more on the next feed.
like 20%

My understanding of this is that underfeeding usually starts from bottom up and over feed burns the whole thing. But I could be wrong

 

[Aqua Man]

And of I had to guess it is the slightest of a potassium deficiency at the very start but that doesn't mean you need more... you just need to correct your watering and it will correct itself. The other thing that can cause tip burn thats not nitrogen related is excess calcium....

 

[Farmerbob93]

Have you grown in pots before? I always find the roots swirl ending up long, woody and incapable of providing nutrition when the plant needs it most, especially photo plants after a long veg. Either switch to auto seeds or get bigger pots. I prefer cloth bags, air-trims the roots.

These are the cloth pots, 10 gallon I think they’re too big haha. Moving to 3 next time

 

[Mr.GreenthumbOG]

Hahaha. With the way your watering. Be glad they are in 10. Or they’d be dead.

Mobile nutrient deficiencies start at the bottom... immobile start at the top. Some like K may show more in the middle at the first signs

Lmao right. I just feel like I could tend better to a smaller size pot. And wouldn’t take me so damn long to water.

She seems to have gotten better. I had given her a small flush and lowered the ppm’s to about 700.The yellowing slowed down and the new growth is still green. And she started to pack on more weight for sure. Just wish she had more sugary leaves but it’s better than nothing lol thanks for the help @Aqua Man @Mr.GreenthumbOG any other suggestions?

Awesome to hear... keep a transition ratio until the end imo. She is gonna need a bit more nitrogen since there was a deficiency to get her to the finish line nicely.

They look pretty dam happy though minus the hiccup

Thanks dude, I know I’ve got some time but do you slowly lean off the nutes and go to plain ph water the last couple weeks?
