Do you even know anything about plant nutrition or do you just tell people to do stuff that will destroy their crop because you know what youre doing? Sorry if i sound like an ass but i hate the spreading misinformation and the thought of a new growers harvest getting ruined from bad advice irritates me.More cal mag
Anyone know what those white flecks are?Hey, My sativa (bag seed) is in week 3 of flower, and a couple of days ago I just noticed a few leaves were discolouring and forming brown spots. Over the last few days the entire plant has changed to a yellow colour and is looking unhealthy. Other than this the plant has been very healthy and everything has been going smoothly . I am growing in soil, with a ph of 6.5. have been feeding 15ml canna Pk in 10L of water for every second watering. Water is ph’d to 6.5 every time. I tested runoff today and it was at 6.5. Growing under a Mars ts600 at 16 inches in a ten litre pot. Daytime temps around 22C nighttime around 15C, RH 30-40%. I was thinking I could’ve been over watering so I’ve laid off the watering for about 4 days now. Any more info I can provide just let me know. Thanks!
So you shouldnt need calmag in soil. And i see no signs of a calcium or magnesium deficiency. What week is the plant in? Exactly what are you feeding, how much, how often. ppm/ec strength, pH. Any other info you can give me. But right now they are severely deficient. If the soil is dry they need nitrogen and phosphorus. If the soil is damp, let it dry out and then give it a full strength dose of nutes. Whatever size pot your soil is in, start by giving it a tenth of that volume when you feed. For example, my 7 gallon fiber pots were given 2-3L every 2 days. In soil you feed twice and water once. So after you have watered with nutes twice in a row, give them plain water for the 3tlrd feeding. That helps to stopany nutrient excesses from building.
EDIT: I just took a closer look at the leaf pics and im sure that they are being over watered. No doubt about it. There is slight tip burn so i think they were getting enough nutes before over watering kicked in, (unless you know the tip burn is old, if it is then disregard this part) But its ok, friend, we'll get them healthy no problem. If you can jist give me the info i asked for we'll get it fixed up. It can still produce some stellar smoke yet.
I calibrate everytime i use it :(Maybe a re-calibration of your ph meter might be needed...????
Hey man i think if your pH is coming that much lower in soil (you should not be watering to runoff in soil, coco yes, soil no) but it means that you have a salt buildup. Lets see if we can get an answer from someone that knows what theyre talking about. Hey @Aqua Man, am i right about the soil pH thing? Or am i way off?hey man thanks for reply.
my current feed is In the picture. The captains recipe and its been working very well. I am on my second cycle and have been been having problems everytime. My girls are popped from seeds like 3 months ago! Theyre rootbounding in the small 3 gallons and i know i need to get them into final pot wayyy earlier . And i will starting next run. My strain is 10 week btw .
i really believe its the ph buffers dieing down.
i did a run off test just now and it went in 5.8 and came out 5.2. I watered with 6.5 and got the run off down to 5.6 7ish. Left it at that dont want to drown it anymore.
hopefully this resolves the problem. As for a N deficiency i think im feeding enough my ppm is 700-750. I think theyre locking out on me and are mad at me cause they wanna get into bigger pots but i need to prolong them for another 6 weeks or so sighhhh
I actually think thats too much. Once every 30 days is adequate, or every 2 weeks if youre using it a lot. A good way to tell is the pH meter will start taking longer to get a stable reading. Thats when its time to recalibrate it. Unless you notice the numbers are way different than they should be, thats a pretty good sign too.I calibrate everytime i use it :(
What do you want to do is water till runoff and test the PPM's and ph of the run off water. You may have an accumulation of salts in the medium. It's very common that it happens around week three if you have it. It Causes multiple deficiency issues and is super commonHey, My sativa (bag seed) is in week 3 of flower, and a couple of days ago I just noticed a few leaves were discolouring and forming brown spots.
