The8thChevronanswered grow question 4 years ago

6.8 pH will stop the uptake of certain nutrients, bring out down to 6.3-6.5. That said, you have nothing to worry about from just a few yellowing leaves on the bottom of the plant, that much is normal. You should be feeding somewhere between 700-1000ppms right now. If autos, use the lower end of that estimate.

Possible toxicity or deficiency?I saw this on one of my bottom leaves this morning. Hopefully someone can give insight of what it might be. I'm concerned that it is phosphorous deficiency. I didn't notice it a day ago, but I wasn't looking closely. 2 days ago I watered her (540 mL, 1/4 tsp nutrients). Thoughts?

K deficiency almost wiped out this plant. What do I do now?I’m somewhere between 2-3 weeks until harvest time should be. It’s day 80 from seed on this autoflower. Had a bad potassium deficiency that I didn’t figure out quite in time and I’m not sure if too much damage has been done. What should I do?

Las guachas tienen hambre Ya hace 4 semanas que dejé de fertilizar pensando que estaba más cerca de la cosecha de lo que realmente estaba. Debería volver a fertilizar con alguno de floración o lo dejo así? Ya más de la mitad de los tricomas están lechosos.

Salvageable? Or pull?Well boys I done fucked up. Got a major K deficiency (since fed them). Didn't want to save them with liquid nutes as I'm trying organics. Assuming they live (I think the Bubba may have bounced back?) should I try to get a harvest or should I just pull them now? 1 week into flip.

Organic dry amendment replacement for bottled cal-mag nutes? (Preferably off-the-shelf)I always seems to run into calcium issues (rusting and interveinal chlorosis) around wk 4. While early use of bottled cal-mag (TPS, "organic") has worked very well, I'd like to be able to simply add an additional organic dry amendment in my line-up vice bottled nutes. Any ideas?
