Welcome back to Hilke’s herbs 🌿 We are in week 5 and something is up with them. They grow pretty slow and some leaves show some deficiencies. I want to help them and make them feel good again. There is a question in the help section and if you know what’s wrong please let me know and help them get better again. So far I am trying to flush them a little with Atazyme so if there’s too much fertilizer in the cocos it should help them get rid of it. The EC is lowered to 1.2, the ph is also ok at 6.0 - usually these are perfect stats. The smallest plant is around 20cm, the tallest is 28cm. Stay tuned! 🌱 Some doubled picture are with and without flash (flash looking more green) Edit: just read on Sanlights website it may be too intense light - and while vegetation the distance should be 50-60cm - changed it to 50cm. Could also be a deficiency of P/K (said Sanlights website) Edit2: not 100% sure yet but I may found out what’s wrong. Here’s the guess: I added some Atami Silic Boost in the beginning which I totally had forgotten when writing the diary. After researching what this silicium does to the plants I came to the conclusion it’s probably a P/K deficiency. Silicium helps the plants to convert the nutrients better and faster. One nutrient is soecially mentioned and guess which one: Phosporus! So I added Bloombastic two days ago and yesterday there was a little difference but not that much yet. Somebody guessed it’s too much calcium which I think it’s not. I have to check the EC of the runoff to really be sure if it isn’t too high. But I’m pretty sure the nutrients were okay and not too much. The dense grow may come from too much energy from the LED why I hung them a little higher. I will keep you updated!

Grow Questions

Plants seem to grow slow and have some problems - thought it was Calmag but seems like it‘s something else. Stems are really thick

Really thick stems can be a sign of excess calcium. The leaf problems look to me as burning caused by wetting the leaves and having the lights on. Cannabis only really needs extra cal/mag during flowering, any decent "grow" nutrients should have more than enough cal/mag in it to support the plants properly through the vegetative stage. There also seems to be some evidence of too much nutrients. Your plants are still quite young and may not need as much fertilizer as they are receiving. Looking at your diary, there seemed to be a fair bit of "stretching/reaching" for the light going on and this could be a reason for the slow growth you are worried about. Also noticed that your plants are in the corners of your tent, where light intensity is at its weakest. I would try moving the plants into the centre of your tent, directly below the lights. Try also reducing the nutrients to every second watering at the same time as moving them to the centre of the tent. Once they are showing increased growth and are a little larger, you could then go back to your previous feeding routine. The slow growth combined with overfeeding and the position of the plants, could all be contributing to the "less than hoped for" results that are worrying you. Hope this helps.... Organoman.

So in week 8 after flushing with EC 0.4 and giving extra PK 13/14 afterwards (EC 1.9) there are still problems occurring. I personally think it’s a deficiency of potassium and phosphorus. Can anybody give me some advice or tell me how to fix it? Thanks!

Some are just yellow spots and of no concern - you will never have 100% perfect leaves 100% of the time. However, other leaves are certainly indicating problems somewhere. I would say, after looking at your diary, the damage is being caused by burning and not any deficiencies of any sort. My guess would be that you are giving bloom booster as well as a P/K booster together and it is more likely your plants are suffering with either phosphorous or potassium over load. My advice would be to just give plain water for the next 3 irrigations to let the substrate leach for a bit to remove any P or K build up, then when you go back to feeding, use only the Ata PK 13/14 or the B'Cuzz universal coco booster separately, and not together in the same feeding. It's one or the other, not both. Your plants will be fine for 3 irrigations of plain water, in fact it is probably wise to use just plain water every third or fourth irrigation to prevent any build up of mineral salts, and your plants will have a chance to scavenge any left over nutrients in the coco before being topped up again. Growth won't be affected, but your coco will stay "cleaner". Hope this helps..... Organoman.
