Calcium Deficiency? pH problem?

Terra_Farma
Terra_Farmastarted grow question 6y ago
Brown spots on some newer growth now on both plants. Canna Terra Flores brings the pH of water down too much even at a half dose. I didn’t think I’d need to adjust pH much in soil. Any suggestions at this point? Thinking to just feed plain water to bring the pH up at the roots

Hello So try checking both in going and runoff ph. If you can do plain water to raise it good, but i think you're going to need some calcium added in. If you have a calmag supplement good, otherwise eggshells and epsom salt can be supplement, if you don't have and ph up or down drops or powder there are some natural ways, any sort of garden store lime products will raise ph as well as potassium carbonate , baking soda can help to raise the ph. It's true that you don't usually have to adjust the ph as strictly with soil growing because of buffering capacity, but that mostly applies to living soil situations and is still worth being monitored occasionally. *maybe check the ph of water that has just a calmag supplement, if its reasonably high 6.5-7 you can water that in plain and it will help raise the root zone, if your roots are very low, then even watering with up near 7.5 would probably be alright. Try a few things and keep checking and see what works best for you. Happy growing. ✌️

Liquid silicon is great for rasing ph and really good for stressed plants

In soil during flowering, pH 6.4-6.5 😇👆 At the end of the plant's life (last week), we lower the pH to 6.2-6.1. You seem to have a deficiency, probably due to too acidic or too alkaline soil... around 5.5 pH or 7 pH. You need to check the acidity of the solution after adding all the nutrients! First, add a fertilizer containing cal/mag (if you're using one), then micro, and only after that everything else... grow, bloom, activators. You need to have 2 bottles to control the acidity - pH Down and pH Up 😇👌 How are you watering it? Don't overwater it, bro! It only needs about 10% of the pot's volume in liquid for watering! In your case - for an 8-liter pot, the maximum watering is 800ml! 😇👆 Good luck, my friend! 😇👍
