Iron lack advice

AwfulBuddy
AwfulBuddystarted grow question 3 years ago
hello buddies! I would like a little opinion from the community, I am in doubt whether to increase the dose of CalMag, I see the girls a little pale and I think they may lack some iron 🧐 now i am giving it 1mL Sensi CalMag Extra What did you think about the girls pale color?

Your Sensi Bloom feed has a descent amount of iron in it. I don't think that's a problem for you. Your idea of calmg could work, I notice the TDS is on the higher side but if they are feeding well with it no problem. an ec drop of .2 daily. a small change in EC daily is good indication they are doing well, but a larger one is a sign they need more food. I did notice some yellowing in the leaf tips in your diary photos suggesting magnesium but I don't see them in the photos you picked for this question. I was wondering if your lighting height is ok or if its to close. When the plants are getting to much light they show small yellow tips on the top growth and will not green up as fast. at 17.5" it feels a bit close but I don't know your lights manufacture. Or how to calculate the ones hanging off the sides in addition to the ones above the canopy. Last week it was at 65cm, previous week 70cm. Dropping it down to 45cm might have been to big of a change. I think your plan of giving some extra calmg wont hurt them if you keep it on the lower dose side of thing. But it may not solve the problem your looking for. Give it a shot and see how they react, maybe they will green up. Keep an eye on the EC and PPM levels and watch for some nutrient burn issues. I'd also double check your lights height as that may also be the reason for the leaves not greening up. Best Of Luck and Happy Growing!

guys thank you for feedback! DLI is 40 900 PPFD Lamp distance 55cm 26.5/27° temp center lamp some time ago I found the General Hydroponics tables🧐 they indicated higher levels of EC in hydro compared to soil cause no substrate and running water EC 3.0 maybe Is too much, but if I don't add feeds for a week I find EC 1.5 even less to keep EC 2.0 stable I should add automatic feeders 🤯 I cant do nutes everyday 😭 I wait a few days checking the EC level if it continues to drop too low I will add calmag and see how it goes! Ezzjaybruh thanks as always for valuable advice 🙇‍♂️🏻 this time, however, I'm more afraid to lower than to raise🤞 You are awesome as always buddies 💪💪💥

Hey after reviewing what Ezzjaybruh has mentioned below I think its a combo of Over feeding and to much light. not to say people do not feed their plants 1500TDS, its just rare unless they have everything else locked in and maybe even adding in C02. A DLI Of over 30 in cannabis needs added C02 or its wasted energy. Let us know how the next few days go. Best of Luck

Also if you’re pushing 100+ DLI, as your profile pic shows.. that’s bad

I think you’re just over feeding honestly.. I’d cut down your feed by about a 1/3 You’re in a NFT/hydro set up you don’t need to be pushing 1500 PPM. I’d be more down around 800-1000 max You’re likely locking other nutes out. There’s some apparent N tox going on, you’re gonna wanna get that in check ASAP as flower development is at a crucial point and will begin ramping up on bulking. I don’t think you need to add anything, I think you need to cut a lot out as stated before - good luck. It’s a great first grow btw. Everyone seems to over fertilize their first grow.. less is more. Love seeing ppl run hydro first time around - you’ll learn a lot. I did the same thing
