First time megacrop

[BirDMan420]

Okay guys so I sprayed for bugs with spinosad and doctorzymes, also for PM. I did lower the lights too much and got some little burns but just want some opinions. First time megacrop grower. Might go back to my organic ways

Setup
Light: Grower choice roi-e200 at 50% 30” off canopy
Temp: 76
rH: 60%+- with dehumidifier if it goes above 60.
Soil: Happy frog & Coco Loco mixed
PH: 6.5
Nutrients(Per liter): Megacrop .50g, Sweet candy .25g, Seak K .11g, rhizotonic 2ml, Cannazym 1.5ml and only watering 16oz.

@Lil Dab might be able to help you out.

Maybe that's a tough one my gut tells too much N seems a little early to be feeding in HF mixed with Coco loco.. The soil looks awfully dry too could be fighting a dry pocket if soil has gone hydrophobic.. Rh could be slightly higher I run 60%+ during veg once into flower I start dropping.. As you can see it could be a few different things as much details as possible and still then it can be crap shot diagnosing over the net

I am familiar with Sweet Candy as a rather potent P-K booster (*0-17-28); and you are further adding a K booster (0-0-5). Any reason why you are feeding all of this to such young plants (when you should just be feeding the all-in-1 MegaCrop)?

And with your soil (which I'm not familiar with), should you be even adding any fertilizer at all at such early stages, much less also adding healthy doses of P-K boosters?

She has one leaf clawing, but the tips have been burnt since Saturday after spraying with doctorzymes looking at pictures. I had a fan on her too. She isn’t that dark but some tips are burnt(idk if it was from me lowering the light from 3ft to 2ft. But I did put diatomaceous earth and some mosquito bits in there today just for prevention purposes that’s why the soil looks dry. I did water her last night with 16oz of water.

I was going by the megacrop calculator and I added rhizotonic for roots and the Cannazym I only am doing this one time because it helps microbes out. I had done this on a previous grow using dry amendments to a success. I could’ve very well given too much of something following old ways of something I did with another grow. But this didn’t happen until I sprayed doctorzymes for pests. The soil was dry yesterday during those pictures and watered later that night

I suppose I should add also I am following someone else’s feeding regime I found

OK if this actually works for you (but theoretically it seems there could/should be problems).

Growing in soil (which I lack familiarity with), should you be feeding at essentially full veg strength so early, or fertilizing at all? Shouldn't soil alone support the plants for at least a few weeks?

Are you sure the level of Sweet Candy, also combined with K supplement, cited by GreenLeaf is actually for use during early veg; vs. being used with much larger plants and in bloom phase? If nothing else, might you be feeding excessive K/potassium to such young plants?

So I’m not doing full strength, and the calculator has sweet candy in the veg regime. I did a quarter amount of the nutes needed which I am following with this feeding schedule I found from Reddit and used the calculator to make sure it’s right. This plants been in soil for 15 days now and the soil is 3 years old so I’d imagine the nutrients have diminished a good lump sum. But you could absolutely be right. Cannazyms the only thing I also added in with this result. So I guess the thing is do I wait and keep an eye on it for progression or do I flush her now

 

[Lil Dab]

is this a Auto or Photo? For auto's you should never hit full strength photo's is a different story.. I don't go over 750ppm 500 scale with everything you putting into the pot I highly doubt it's a deficiency and more then likely too much of something if not everything.. At that age I would be feeding around 500-600ppm but I am in coco which is basically hydroponics so I feed every watering with soil that will not be the case maybe feed once/twice at most a week when they are ready are week 5

I suggest wait for responses from more knowledgable soil/MegaCrop growers!

Generally, you want to avoid flushing as much as possible, use it as the last resort.
