Seed Stockers BWM’s Rolling Seedstockers Grow

I glad Archie has given you the "we won't be held responsible* clause ,,, but I have no such concerns :biggrin: i would, If that was my plant ,,, give it a spray of fish mix and Epson salts ,,, and a liquid feed fish mix with Epsom salts, :biggrin:
I like a few opinions before I go messing with anything. It’s difficult like Archie says, everything starts to look the same. I think the foliar feed could be the quickest way to correct the problem. Fingers crossed!
 
So long as we are clear that it was Archies idea :pop: and is responsible for any misshaps , accidental death of plant etc :thumbsup:
Message recieved and understood, if anything goes wrong I will hunt him down and ki....er......share a nice cuppa tea with him.
 
:jointman: mates....

To my eye, that's looking like early Zn defc., though Fe and Zn can often be co-deficient... To tell them apart, have a look at the pics in the Defc. Pic Depot; typically(but not always), Fe starts from the "palm" out to the tips; Zn tends to hit tips/margins, then interveinally,... But the first thing to determine is if the soil pH is the cause, or if it's a case of simple lack-of (more likely here with Biobizz, and nutes being acidic).... some of the micros like Zn and Fe are locked out at or near 7.0+... Adding more nutes may not cover this without overfertilizing, so a dedicated product is the ticket here,.... Foliar is the fastest way in, used along with soil dosing; a wetting agent is key to any foliar applications, along with spraying the underside of the leaves especially, as there are far more stomata there, only way in (unless you use a product like Optic Foliar's Transport)....
...check out your supplements, I think AlgaMic may have the micro's,... I'd still look into a better dedicated product, they tend to have higher levels of the ions and more readily available forms,...

 
Dammit I was so close. Never remembered the stock outwards rule. Yeah waira is right mate. (As always:worship:) Ffs I should've spotted that. Actually so annoyed now. Need to get back into this like I'm just forgetting things. Was about as close as one could be while still being wrong though lol.

Thanks @Waira, I’ll have a good look and see what’s currently in my arsenal. For the time being they’ve been fed both foliar and a regular feed. All I can do is hope for the best until I can get my hands on something that may be more suitable. Thanks for taking the time to look in I much appreciate it.....

You were half right! Now that I’ve looked a bit closer there appears to be both symptoms. I also invested in some PH solution rather than the sachets. There is just over 1.0 difference when I compared the two. So @Waira when I’ve been PH-ing my water to six it’s been out......
 
only 2 letters out ES swap the fe for zn and woulda been spot on :eyebrows: looking at the grow/bloom/top max/alg a mic,top max has 0.001% fe 0.0001% zn the rest have nowt.
hopefully it was just a ph thing and with it within range all nutes can uptake :thumbsup:
happy Festivus :smoking::glutton::coffee:
:pighug:

Happy festivus mate. Hope you got some triangle tea bags for a present.......we know you don’t like the round ones! They seem to be looking a tiny bit better after PH’ing everything but still to early to say if it’s clearing it up. It’s my own fault, I should be more thorough. I also get lazy sometimes and don’t re-calibrate even when I know my tap water can fluctuate by 0.5 - 0.8 at times......
I do have some maxicrop seaweed which might be suitable as a foliar to help, I’ll give it a bash!
