Hey growmies! Welcome back to Hilke’s herbs and week #9 with four beautiful ladies! 🌿 Maybe I have found the problem! The EC of the (mixed) run-off is 1.9 which is kinda high after feeding with 1.5 - so there was probably a overfeeding and a block of nutrients caused by too much nutrients before. Thanks to my helper in the help section! I will check the run-off more often now if I feel or see that something is wrong. Actually the 2 plants in the front aren’t showing any problems. Only the 2 bigger ones in the background still having some leaves with brown spots. I will keep an eye on it and try to fix it by lowering the EC of the feeding until I see deficiencies. Then I will rise the EC by adding more nutrients or adding special nutrients if necessary (Calmag and/or PK). But they are almost ready to go into flowering stage. I removed some (a lot) of the lower branches and leaves today because it was too crowded under the net. They will have some days to recover and then their light timetable will change to 12/12. Stay tuned! 🌱

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.
