Grow Mediums Attempting 2nd Grow for the 4th time :)

Wish we had those pictures without the LEDs on before.1) Frankly if that is all you are worried about then by all means have a couple of tokes and chill pal. 2) that is no where near what a calcium def. looks like. A calcium def. looks like little rust spots. What I see with your pictures is closer to a phosphorus deficiency.

Ok so what should I do.

The stems are very red
That's what I need to know it's getting worse and worse. Right now I'm 2.5ml per gallon of calmag and 3ml of bloom which gave me 740ppm
It jumped to 860ppm in one day so the mix is strong but I have a phisphurus deficiency? So do I increase the mix or add a pk booster...how do u boost phosphurus if the mix is too strong @HotBunz

 

[HotBunz]

You just leave it be for a couple of days. There is no fixing damaged leaves get your head around that! I'll say it again...there is no fixing damaged leaves! Your plant is not going to die....your plant is NNNNOOOOOTTTT going to die! Red stems and the patches on the leaves is more a typical phosphorus def. You are going to have to wait her out till she gets over that ever she is dealing with in regards to sitting in Clear Rez and wait for her to start feeding again. Trying to feed her more than she will takes will only lead to other problems.

Ok....well over night she drank as much as she did yesterday so that's a good sign ppms are about the same I'll check when I get home from work at 8 tonight.....hopefully she will correct herself soon I want to salvage yield.....how will I know when thr phisphurus is corrected will the stems regain the green color or is it just the spreading of brown will stop?

 

[jtrain252]

Hoping she starts drinking soon I'd like to run her base at 700ppm and give her 150ppm of koolbloom for the added pk.....just want to get her corrected so she can pack on weight . I would hate to have this big girl and then a crap yield lol

 

[jtrain252]

Ok I think we are ok
Day 45
Ppm 800
Ph 5.7
Temp 77
Rez 70
Humidity 42


4 gallons of ro water. 0ppm
3ml per gallon of bloom. 620 ppm
2ml per gallon calimagic 170ppm
1ml per gallon koolbloom. 10ppm
2ml per gallon hydroguard
Per gallon n-p-k
14N--34P--31K per gallon

Let's see where she's at when I get home at 8 p.m.

I don't get how some of these guys are running full strength or 8ml of nova for lucas that would put me up into the 1600ppm category before any calmag or additives .

@jtrain252 I am going back through and checking some deficiencies, do me a favor and when you do your pH swing jut go up to 6.0 or depending on how accurate your pen is like 6.05 and at the most go up to 6.1. I am checking through a source I have that is amazing at deficiencies and I am just not quite sure it is a P def, I may be wrong and @HotBunz may be 100% correct. But some up close pics with the led's off of the affected plants are what is kinda needed to make a correct diagnosis.. But we will get to the bottom of it for sure, and you will have plety of yield my friend. Also how are those roots lookin?

 

[HotBunz]

Who is running full strength? Not with an auto flowering.

One major thing you have to realize it that it varies so much from strain to strain and even sometime from phenotype to phenotype on how much these plants eat. If you think of them as people, some folks you know at least one are super skinny but eat ALL the time and lots of food when they do. Some people just don't eat that much, same thing with cannabis some of them like a lot of nutrients others don't so you cant really base your grow on what others are doing, even if they are even growing the same strain as you.

Also it has taken me almost 10 years and of practical application to get to where I know the small about I do about growing and the way I do it is a simple answer, I LOVE to do it. Growing cannabis is my lifes dream and I it peaked my intellectual curiosity at 13 and has never left me. It is a lot of work to grow top quality cannabis, and they say if you love what you do you never have to work a day in your life. I do anywhere from 4-18 hours a day researching and learning as well as growing(when I am actually growin lol) and I can honestly say it is just fun to me. Sure there is a lot to learn but it interests me and I love doing it. That is just me though
