Problem:
Leaves look bad and seems that shes drinking less. Also have some top leaves that still look healthy curling down before the other leaves started looking bad. Curling leaves can be seen on the far left bud in the first pic.
Medium/grow method: soil
Half gbd/roots organics with ewc and dolomite lime on bottom and half the same on top without the gbd soil in a half gallon fabric pot

Feed: and supplements used:
0.05ml mammoth p per 5oz water every watering, recharge once every 5-7days and optic foliar overgrow every three days.
water source:
Bubbled tap water with 6.8ph
Strain/age:
Mephisto northern cheese haze day 33
light used:
Blackstar 100w ufo - 10in from canopy
Climate:
75-82f 40-50% rh
Additional info:


Gave 22oz water with 0.2ml mammoth p two days ago. Sprayed optic foliar overgrow yesterday.(every three days)
Was only able to give 18oz water with 0.2ml mammoth p this time, so shes drinking less and the leaves look bad.
I hope its just that i need to feed now but i would think she would be thirsty if she was hungry too.

I have a soil probe to test soil ph but i dont want to damage roots if i dont have to.

All of my previous micro grows have been with kind soil and i have had to feed biothrive bloom in flower. This is my first try with gbd soil.

Edit: just looked at this thread and decided to give 1ml general organics calmag+

I will probably have to start feeding biothrive bloom soon too i think.

I have not checked the ph of the soil because i dont want to damage any roots if i dont have to. That is the tool i have.
Should i go ahead and check it and not worry about damaging roots? Im sure shes pretty much rootbound in a half gallon pot
Yes check it out it wont hurt... most defficiancy are actually lock outs from ph.
 
....looks like Mg defc. to me too,... get Ca-mg going Smorf! ..no other signs of pH issues, so let that slide for now,.. but in that tiny pot, even with GBD soil you still might start having nutritional issues,... consider feeding a little BioBloom as well....

Yessir that has been the case, having to add bloom nutes so far every grow in a half gallon pot. Im sure I will probably need to be feeding biothrive bloom soon along with the GO calmag+
Thanks everyone!:bighug:means alot when i can only have one plant going.
 
Day 35
I was going to water tonight a few hours after lights on but it seems like shes still not drinking as much.
Soil ph is 6.8.
water is 7.0
I will just spray overgrow tonight and water tomorrow with recharge, 0.2ml mammoth p, 0.5ml calmag and maybe 0.5ml biothrive bloom.

Let me know what you guys think.
I took these pics a few hours after lights off.
I think the slightly burnt tips showed up after that first feed of 1ml calmag.

Im pretty confused as to why shes not drinking like she should be and why shes having defciencies if im spraying overgrow every three days. My overgrow is over a year old, getting a new bottle after this grow. Maybe i shouldnt use it anymore on this grow?
Maybe she just needs to dry out good which is why im going to wait another 24hr before watering.
@Waira im stressin lol

... too weak on the feeds mate,even if that;s per L,...Ca-Mg can be a bit higher too, (don't see significant tip burn myself), though the OG should be helping with that; maybe just not enough for demands,... red petioles, a sign of P defc. too; not by itself sometimes, and strain genetics for color can make it invalid or obscured,... just to be sure, you know Mammoth P is a specialized bacterial inoculant for P and micro's, not a source per se,.... Maybe get that light up higher,... decent air movement in there? Oh, you pH is high, get that water/feeds down to 6.5 or a bit less,...

Yes thanks for making sure i know what mammoth p is:pighug:
Ok here is my plan:
I just sprayed overgrow and lowered her down about an inch from the light, i dont think thats really a problem because my first three plants have all finished withen 5in from the light(blackstar100w ufo)but im no expert so i will listen to you. Maybe shes just not ready to be that close yet.
I have decent air movement: 4 pc fans for circulation, 2 for exhaust(stronger than intake) and 2 for intake.


When i feed/water every 2-3 days its usually around 20oz water and i always measure it out.
I use a pinch of recharge every 5-7days
0.05ml mammoth p per 5oz water for every watering.
I will start to give 1ml biothrive bloom and 1ml calmag every time i water now also.

My next watering/feed will be in about 24hrs.
I dont have anything to adjust ph since i thought i would get away without it, being organic and all.
Should i get earth juice ph up and down to make sure my water/feeds are 6.5ph after mixing everything in?

Thanks again so much @Waira :worship:
im really learning to read the plant alot better now on my 4th grow.
