Nitrogen Defficiency?

THC123started grow question 4 years ago

I’m growing with super soil and amendments for this grow. Looking for the Autumn Color Effect. I understand that you need a nitrogen deficiency to get this, and if timed right it shouldn’t affect my yield. I’m on the 5th week and one of my phenos is pretty yellow. Is this okay?

The purple fade is from phosphorus deficiency and cooler night temps. You are a little early there for a fade. Look like you have magnesium deficiency

@Chitown, Oh okay, from what I’ve read removing Nitrogen from your feeding in mid-flower will give you ACE. Any suggestions for supplementing magnesium?

Deficiency?Hey everybody, I’ve never really dealt with deficiencies in autos as most of my experience is with growing photos outdoors. Does this look like a magnesium deficiency? These just appeared over night on just two of my larger growing white widow autos. Please let me know, thanks!

Nutrient Help possibly needed For my first grow I have kept things fairly simple. I had issues with my soil PH which stopped nutrient uptake but seems to have now resolved that for the most part. Are there any other nutes that are recommended to help bud production or am I ok with what I have now? Thanks

Recurring Cal Mag issues I’m already at the maximum recommended cal mag dose of 1ml/litre (with nutes at 1000ppm or E.C. 2.0) and I’m still facing issues. It went away for a few days, but it’s now back. Should increase the cal mag dose and cut back on the macro nutes to maintain 1000ppm?

PPM in week 2, nutrient lock?For plant 1 of my DWC, I had 410 PPM two days ago. My resevoir now is at 440. She is slightly yellow and a tad droopy. Is the rising of PPM by 30 an indication of nutrient lock? If its nute lock, does this require peroxide water to flush? How long do people flush? Thx in advance

Calcium Deficiency Won’t Go Away DWC So plant #1 is still having some Calcium deficiency issues. I’m using RO water and giving the recommended dose of CaliMagic which is 1tsp(5ml)/gal. I’m in DWC and using LED full spectrum lighting. Why can’t I stop these spots? Should I give more than recommended dose of CaliMagic

Yellow leaves my little GG2 is starting to lose many leaves (they turn yellow and fall even before drying) while the other is not having any problems (the only difference between the two is the "aggressiveness" used in the LST) it could be due to the flushing done (but less than 5 days ago) 🤔

Canna flush Thank you so much for the information. I have been using Plagron nutrients for a long time and have never had any major problems. OG is my first to be very sensitive. She went to sleep in the vegetation. It's not working now. Can I do a flush with Canna flush? How I use this? Thx

General feedback Any feedback would be greatly appreciated, to me the plant looks healthy, however it is a bit small considering it’s age, right? I’m thinking it may be because of the cheap ‘300W’ light I was using at the beginning of the grow. What do you guys think? (Video end of week 6)

Rusty spots on fan leaves overnight, what is it? ️Last night I used some old but clean looking wire to bring branches in to the main stems. This morning there's now little orange rusty spots everywhere. Is a soil grow, 6.3 pH used and same run off with Cal Mag every other feed. Taken the wire of at 6am in anger, was it that? 😡

Is this definitely CalMag deficiency? Check diary for video.Before I go to over the top with the CalMag in a stupid attempt to nurse my plants back to health I just want to know for certain what it is. The leaves are clawing, bronze spots everywhere but the smallest of the 3 doesn't seem to be suffering as much.. what is it?!
