I have two spb1200 lights above the canopy at 24 inches or a bit more right about 50% intensity I have a bunch of plants under them and they look pretty good but these are some 3 1/2 week old plants and they are showing something is wrong I was thinking Cal mag since it's yellowing in between the vanes but cal mag did not help gave them some yesterday.. buy im don't know if its a lighting issue because one of the plants. That has the problem is in there praying under the light
I almost never use baking soda the only time I ever have to raise my ph is after I put my Alaskan fish poop in the water that shot drops the ph like a brick down to like 4...
So I'm not using normal nutes I'm using down to earth vegetable garden 4-4-4 but I have been repotting with new black gold organic and natural with some perlite mixed in so I have not put any dry top amendments on these plants yet since I'm potting up to new soil all the time
start your own thread,..
4-4-4 is all that’s needed everything else is a waste
and trying to ph why????
I'm still only on my 3rd crop in the last 20 years but I think you may have a nitrogen toxicity problem... wait for some others to chime in.
Sorry for intruding on your thread i am very new to using this site and literally have never even posted on a forum or anything like this before. I hope you get the advice you need to help your girls! thank you for your response!
Because a ph of 9 is just so alkaline and I was trying to avoid ph problems. I keep hearing everyone say I don't ph I'm growing organic but this is my first solo all organic grow... I'm starting these ladies inside just tell it's warm enough overnight to move into my hoop house... but I have been having all sorts of issues since starting this season... so anything you can tell me about it would be hella appreciated
let the medium do its thing,. let it dry out before watering,..
Many organic growers use Epsom salt (magnesium sulfate). Its pH is usually between 5.5 and 6.5. It can be added to irrigation water at one tablespoon per gallon of water. It can also be applied directly to the soil and watered in. Magnesium is the core atom in the chlorophyll molecule, so light stress and magnesium deficiency can have a similar appearance.
So are you saying that as long as I let my tap water sit out for a couple days to get rid of the chlorine then just use it even though is ph 9?.? How does that not affect the plants?? What about lockout
your medium will buff the ph in a range for the plant to use,. what you see as mag def could be from not enough light to process what’s going on in the soil,.. be careful with this as i dont use LED lights so maybe someone else could confirm or deny this about the light,..
They already did
