Phosphorus stuff at home?

Vazkystarted grow question 6y ago

So I have phosphorus deficiency mid flower and I'm basically broke and no shops are open, is there anything I might have at home or cheap at grocery store I could use? None of the fertilizers I'm using have high phosphorus content

As a tomato Gardner, I’ve always heard about putting matches in the hole with the new tomato plants. “ Modern strike-anywhere match heads usually contain phosphorous sulfide produced only with red phosphorous. The heads of safety matches don't contain this chemical, but the abrasive strip on the side of the box contains phosphorous sulfide made with red phosphorous along with powdered glass and a binder. The red phosphorous provides the spark that ignites the match.” Happy Growing 🌱

Or just do the banana peel one if you have no citrus peels 😅

Look up banana tea recipe. And substitute it with citrus peels instead. It has good NPK properties.

I keep seeing this reddish or bronzish discoloration in the new growth when it’s just starting. Almost a purplish color at times. What kind of deficiency could this be? Or something else entirely?

Leaf Spots, weak color, and leaf ripple Please help me identify possible causes of this: small spots on leaves, minor color fade (not burn) along edges, and strange 'ripple' effect. A user commented that he thought my plants looked deficient but hasn't elaborated further yet. What might this be? Multiple issues?
