hello!
I’m growing twi different strains at the moment and one of them is looking a little unwell. From what I’ve read id guess it’s mag def.
Problem: yellowing on new growth, slightly malformed. Pheno has showed mutations, triple leaves, from get go.
-Medium/grow method: coco/perlite mix, sensi pro biodiesel brand.
-Feed and supplements used:
full bio diesel lineup.
my journal gives a detailed description of every feed, Ec, ph.
Started with a precharge of EC .5 before planting. Misted for a day one they were above ground, then fed with .5 working up to .6 for first 2 weeks + every 3/4 days. Did not feed to run off. Fed them seedling stage lineup with Cana rhizo.
Last two feeds have been veg feed (cal mag is included in lineup) first .7ec last .8ec, ph 5.8 both times. Fed to run off of over 20%, last feed almost 50% run off, too much! So will go down from 4 litres each to 3. I’m on grow 2 at the moment adding extra base nutes to bring mix up to the correct ec.
brand is also sensi pro bio diesel.See chart below, I use this as a rough guide but go by etc rather than suggested, this means I have to add more!
-Water source: tap water, ec.1, ph7
I let stand for days while being bubbled.
-Strain and age : Dutch passion - compassion lime 22 days old
-Climate: it’s pretty much a loft grow, so at the whim of the weather with regard to heat. I do however have an ac unit hooked up which turns on if I go over 32. AC infinity on smart mode, full blast when it hits 28. Temps ranging from 22c - 30c
Rh 55 -65 generally
- Light used: Cob - optic 2, 2 x 55watt, a further 100 watt with bloom enhancer. If temps allow I have two more optic 1 xls with 100 watt each full spectrum. 18/6 schedule
-Additional info: one leaf showed a couple of rust spots a week ago, but did not progress. Now that growth is kicking off she is showing issues in new growth. Rust spots have not progressed.
I tested run off last feed which came out with an EC of 1.1/1.2 ph 5.8. It’s higher than what I’m putting in, but is that high enough to cause lock out? I haven’t seen any signs of burn or over feeding, unless this is it.
both ec pen and ph pen are blue lab and calibrated. I had cheap Chinese ones a few years back, but they really were trash, so splashed out for this grow!
Any and all help appreciated. It’s far from extreme but better to nip it in the bud now then wait for it to progress! Let me know if I’ve missed anything, otherwise my journal has much more detail in new growers forum
Thanks you!
