Possible manganese deficiency

[slightlystoopid]

I am thinking I am developing a manganese deficiency stems are turning a purplish color and the new leaves are lighter green and they are the ones affected any input would be greatly appreciated

looks like magnesium def to me... very rarely see maganbese def

try giving 1 tsp epsom salt per gallon of water.... see if the damage progression stops... the already damaged leaves wont recover FYI

:smokebuds:

hope this helps

see my signature for a full list of deficicines

I agree with JM.

Going through the same right now with my plants

If you make up the epsom mixture pour some into a spray bottle and give your plants a misting with the solution also besides feeding it to the plants as you normally would.

The plants absorb the Mg they need faster through foliar feeding but just make sure you do it out side the cab as we don't want no exploding bulbs...lol

I agree, magnesium deficiency. As Shumway said, foliar feed is best. 1 teaspoon epson salts to a quart of pHed water.

 

[JM]

yup... foliar even better...

Thanks for all the help guys a woke up this morn and it got quite a bit worse how often do you suggest to foliar feed

 

[JM]

I wouldn't foliar feed more than every 3rd day... and make sure the plant dry before going back into HID light or sun or any intense light... otherwise they might burna bit...
