The girls have had another tough week. After some gardeners on GD advised me to flush due to possible nutrient lockout, I first flushed all three plants with tap water, reducing the drain from >10mS/cm (!) to <1mS/cm. pH values were consistently fine. Since I have almost certainly washed out most of the Living Soil's nutrients in addition to all the unwanted salts, I then put 1.5 BioTabs per pot in the soil. As soon as the pots are completely dry, I add another 500ml of osmosis water with 20ml Orgatex and 1g Bactrex per plant. Wild fertilizer scheme - I know.
Despite all the problems, buds are developing really well. And the smell in the tent is incredible.
Hey Guys, need your help please. It's FD 28 and the leaves of my three White Widows show some signs of a nutrient deficiency (at least my assumption).I'm growing in living soil w/o any additional fertilizer and watering with a 7:3 mix of osmose/tap water and 0,5 ml/l CalMag.
Magnesium deficiency... the interveinal chlorosis coinciding with rust spots is more likely Mg-deficiency.
It's very possibly to lock it out with too much p or k -- which often is instructed by the peanut gallery. it's not foie gras. we cannot force feed it to increase its metabolism. if you changd formulas over last 2-3 weeks consider those changes as likely part of the cause. this stuff takes time to present veisibl symtoms. if p an k are not too high and pH is proper, then i'd wager it is Mg deficiency.
After looking at diary.. your organic soil isn't going to make it till the end. better give it more than calmag. < 2 mL per gal? what is that 5-10ppm?
if your amended soil is starting to run out of stuff, be reasy to supplement it. take notes on timeframe of how it plays out. if you stick to same soil next time can preemptively supplement befoer symptoms occur.
Good luck with your grow pal! RQS version of the legendary White Widow is truly a knockout. Keep it simple and you’ll be rewarded with some top shelf bud!
@James, thank you! Going to try something different this time. This will be my first attempt with living soil (Flo Organics) and dripping water system (Blumat). Let's hope the best. I'll keep you updated ;-)
They are looking great.
Check your PH. The leafs are showing what Can be a beginning potassium lock out because of too high ph. Otherwise everything looks beautiful man
Happy growing 🙏
Happy harvest 💚
You can see my first grow and second run ongoing too in my diary if you have any questions to improve your garden get in touch brother 💚
