Sick and tired same problem

[barbarca]

Hi guys I’m growing some purple lemonade by fast buds I keep running in to the same problem almost every time I’ve been growing for almost a year now here are the stats sunshine#4 soilless soil. Ph 6.2 temps 76 nighttime 64 light on the remo nutes here are some picks this happens a lot thanks and cheers guys

What is the npk numbers of your nutes, and are you using cal/mag?

 

[LazyNhazy]

It's because you are growing with peat moss. Either switch soils or add dolomite and stop watering so much.

well first query is did you amend anything at all? looks to me like the PH is swinging and bit..also if you hit it with full strength nutes for a normal run in the past it might be too much swinging the PH and overloading some since lots of Fat buds seeds are smaller..I have a similar situation with a smaller blackberry auto from FB seeds. and thats often what does it for me.too much food or a hot soil with smaller genetics that are a mellow feeder.that will piss them off right quick and in a hurry and its hard to come back from.then there is the water..PPM,PH,chlorine and chloramines??city water?

might look at some pellet garden lime and/or dolomite sweet lime(powdered sweet lime) maybe a little gypsum. dunno what your water schedule is at this time but there are ways.you could submerge the pot essentially rinsing it if it not a water logged situation...submerge until bubbles stop and let drain well and back to it. hope that help or provides food for thought .

add mycorrizha and beneficial microbes.

Wow and Raw are what I use usually - they can talk to the plants - mine for water, nutrients and micro nutes... and trade for sugars, amino acids...etc

I'm running 2 purple lemonaides right now - and they have no issues - and I'm using a blend of supersoil - perlite - promix and Nutri+ which has peat - nutes and buffers... but what's making the biggest difference is the living spectrum. Cruise Control Baby! Just add water until day 45 and 55

I use city water 7.4 I think im gonna go a head and try some different soil any advice im at the end of this run I minds well try something else I was trying to support the local economy but whats best thanks guy soilless soil

living soil-less takes the guess work out of auto-flowers barbarca. grean bicycle teas and sugar water can't be too hard after that. It looked like you were having some Cal-Mag issues - maybe lockout - maybe not - but these things happen when guessing how to force feed plants. There's a better way brother..

I would like to get a little more info if possible.. I can see several different issues.. But what's causing them is the big question. What size pots are you using? Have you checked the ppms of your run off? Do you feed nutes EVERY time you water? Im asking because this looks like a classic lock out. My hunch is that it's caused by an excess of nutrients in the soil. Sunshine 4 is widely used in home and commercial gardens.. I don't think that's the issue.. Switching soils without finding the true issue won't do you any good. I don't think it's soil ph issue if you are ph'ing the water to 6.2. So yeah, I guess I'd just like a little more info on pot size and feeding strength and schedule..

hi again I have 5 gallon plastic pots. lucas formula and I go light on feeding nutes so 2ph water feeding then one nutes and I feed when the pot start to feel a little lite and top soil is dry.
