One of my plants is looking sad and Im looking to learn why.
The plant is in 75% coco coir and 25% perlite.
Originally ammended with 10 tbsp of Gaia green 4-4-4.
Planted in March indoors, moved outdoors June 1st Southern Ontario.
Re-ammended with the following schedule.
May
3 tbsp 4-4-4 and 1 tbsp 2-8-4
Plant is green with no issues
June
2 tbsp 4-4-4 and 2 tbsp 2-8-4
Flowering started last June after moving the plant to a shadier spot.
July
1 tbsp 4-4-4 and 3 tbsp 2-8-4
Plant is flowering slowly likely because it shouldnt really be flowering, still lots of sunlight.
Plant starts to show signs of deficiency before feeding.
Plant starts developing burn on edges of lower leaves (assumed potassium deficiency)
Plant starts developing necrotic spots on lower leaves (assumed calcium deficiency)
August
1 tbsp 4-4-4 and 3 tbsp 2-8-4
Old growth stops burning and necrotic spots stop spreading.
Lowest leaves turn pale and die off.
August 15th
2 tbsp bat guano
Plant is yellowing between veins, necrotic spots are spreading, lowest leaves continue to turn pale and die off.
For flowering I feed the following with every watering per gallon of chlorinated tap water.
1 tsp GH calimagic 1-0-0
1 tsp GPN liquid w-8 (carbohydrates)
1 tsp GPN rezin (vitamin b1 and molybdenum)
4 tsp GPN massive bloom 1-2-3
Feeding 1 gallon per day in 2 doses
My feed water PH ranges between 6 and 7.
Latest PH reading of medium was 6.4 pre feed, 6.2 post feed, feed water was 6.4.
My assumption was underfeeding because things improved after a feeding, however now that flowering has continued (week 5ish) even after ammending the medium the symptoms have started to get worse again.
My 2nd thought is that it is nutrient lockout due to salt build up from the flowering nutrients in the feed water.
