New Grower Nitrogen deficiency?

[HaydenR4238]

Done a wee bit of snipping gradually. Not to much just the dead or dieing leafes and trying a bit of lst.

Looks like it could use a feed am I right?

Been getting mostly water since my nute lock out.


How she looking?

Looks a little hungry to me.

What is your feed?

What is your feed?

Using canna coco A + B and cal mag. Added 0.5 of each to 1.5L and fed her that.

I agree it needs a feed, had 2 myself in exact same situation this cycle, keep in mind that an EC imbalance will effect the PH of the medium (looks like you are in coco) which can take a few days to get back where you want it. I raised the EC of my feed by .2 per day until I was happy the girls were getting enough, after 7 days they have gone from 2x as droopy as your girl looks to back to near enough perfection

I would have that girl on a minimum of 2.5ml of canna a and b per L if it is too strong come back off it a little, I have no idea why you are using more cal mag than A and B tho when the A and B is the main source of nitrogen and your girls are definitely lacking that much more than they are Cal mag mate

Okay I will up my dose next feed. The pH of my run off was at 6.8 and I only managed to get it back down to 6.5. Its only been getting water since the flush hoping to get it down a bit more. Going to begin a routine and stick to it from now on feeding once a week see how it goes. Will need to invest in an EC meter!

Not much point testing runoff in PH mate, it will go all over the place same as the EC. If I remember rightly in laymans terms it goes something like this.....Coconut husk already contains natural minerals and salts which it will leach over time, but these salts and minerals are not absorbed by your roots they protect them, So run off from coco will have these minerals and salts within it which then give a false representation of what the available EC and PH within the medium actually are. I would recommend it as I do often find that the recommended doses of each nutrient mixed together often exceeds the recommended EC, Cheap EC meters also seem to be much more reliable than cheap PH meters for whatever reason.

Growing in coco, an EC meter is a must. They are cheap off Amazon.

You need to know you base EC and then add nutrients appropriately. One you have you EC sorted, adjust PH accordingly to 5.8.

Generally I would be aiming for 0.6 EC above base or so at your stage of growth. However, I grow Mephisto seeds that generally like low EC.

Start at 0.5EC above base and up 0.1 EC each week. If you see super dark green or any hint of yellow back of 0.1 EC

Roughly 1ml of A + 1ml of B in 1 lt buffers my RO by 0.1 EC.

You are feeding very light. Less is definitely more so go easing upping

Thanks guys! EC meter ordered!

Are you growing in coco? If so you want to be feeding daily/twice daily.

You cannot overwater in coco. You can burn your girl with too high EC, so as said before, go easy upping the EC.

I drip feed every 2 hours with a good 40% run off. Fortunately I have an automated drain to waste DIY system set up, so happily overwater about 8 lt a day!

The key is delivering oxygen rich and nutrient rich solution to the roots.
