deficiency symptoms

Colibri_growstarted grow question 3 years ago
I'm a beginner and some plants are getting fallen leaves. They are being watered with the amount of approximately 10% of the volume of the pot and an average pH of 6.5. Runtz has Mag deficiency symptoms after I fertilized, is she also lacking N deficiency?

Hmmm... that leaf doesn't look good! The color of the stem says to me she's starving for some nitrogen but I'm unfamiliar with the nutes you're using and so don't know how much nitrogen they're getting. Plants in flower don't need as much nitrogen as they do in their veg state but they DO need SOME! The one biggest problem I can see is the amount of water you're giving them.... the drooping leaves also tells me the same thing - you're underwatering! You want to water enough to get about 20% runoff (and testing the PH of that runoff will tell you what's actually going on around the roots - whether you've got a PH imbalance or not). The runoff should test out between 6.0 and 6.5 ... if it's lower than that, you should do a flush (3x the size of the pot) to get the salts and nutes out of the soil and when you start feeding again, cut your normal dose in half before going back to your full dose. I think you'll find you've got a bit of a lockout going on because you haven't been watering enough to flush old nutrients out as you give them new. If you're measuring ppm, then that reading should be between 1000 and 1100 at this stage.... late flowering, you'll want 1100-1150. Good luck with your grow ... lots of potential there!

This kind of damage in the first leave is a P deficiency, in the 2nd one you can see excess of N; the leaves can go down for so many factors, root damage, excess of water (I can see leaves with thicken cell walls) high temperature with low humidity.. I'll reduce biogrow to 0.5ml*L for a few weeks and see how it goes, check how much and how frecuently you water your plants and keep going.
