Organic dry amendment replacement for bottled cal-mag nutes? (Preferably off-the-shelf)
TCH0808started grow question 2 years ago
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?

Blood and bone meal is a great slow release addition to soil for calcium.
Volcanic rock dust is great for magnesium and dozens of other trace elements.

I use Gaia green basalt Rockdust. Great source of calmag and also good for water retention. Hope this helps!

Hello. I've been using a product I like. It's Wollammo at wollammo.com. It's a calcium-silicate mined in Quebec Canada. It's a powder that can be mixed with or put on any medium.
It has in it SiO2 55% - CaO 29% - MgO 3.1% - K2O 1.4% - Fe2O3 0.65% - Mn2O3 0.60%
This provides a source of plant-available silicate, carbon neutral calcium, magnesium, and other beneficial trace elements and micro-nutrients.
Check it out.
Chuck.

Fish bone meal or gypsum will work. Maybe water in some epsom salts early-mid flower.

WHY?? Still looks like Calcium Deficiency?? HELP!!!Can Someone Please tell me what is going on here? I have a detailed diary if you have any thoughts on why it still looks like a Calcium Deficiency.

Strange discolorationThe plant is becoming less green, more yellow, dark green/blue, and the tip seems necrotic. She received a little more light intensity (TS1000 at 50cm, 25%dim to 50%dim) when she was repotted on the final DWC. T.A. (Growing on FeedChart) was used to create the nutrient solution.

Nitrogen Toxicity?Not sure if this is nitrogen toxicity or normal leaf color. Crinkling was caused by too much light and the fan. Got better in 24h after adjusting grow light and fan. Plants are starting week 2 of veg, Hulkberry Auto. Medium is light mix soil.

Autos reacting to All-Mix: Slight nitrogen overload?Pheno one showed very "leathery", weak, hanging leaves of dark green. Same time the fungus gnats had a run and the population doubled. After second LST also the stronger plant showed those signs on the younger upper leaves. Also curled down a little. Slight nitrogen toxicity?

What deficiency is this ?What is happening to my plant right now ?
I believe it is calcium deficiency also could be Manganese from the pictures. I did not add CalMag during the first weeks.
Usually Calcium deficiency shows after 4 weeks and during flower but not likely in soil.

Runoffs are significantly below inputs-Do I have a problem?Runoff continues to be a mystery. When watering I continue to get significantly less Ph and PPM (4.8 ph and 109 ppm) than my inputs (6.2 ph and 155 ppm) but the plant looks healthy. I have no idea what is going on or if its even a problem. Should I be worried and what can I do?

Buon giorno weed doctors, did anyone have similar uniform chlorosis at the top or maybe knows what's up? What could be the reason and the solution? ThIs this some sort of immobile nutrient deficiency or excess? Could this be caused by heat and light stress? She is 80cm tall and almost touches the lights in the tent. I'm usually suffering from Calmag and Nitrogen issues and haven't yet experienced yellowing from the top. Thanks

PH-Problems in SoilBefore repotting, the pH value in the soil has always fallen to below 5.5. The plants always have an iron deficiency. I then repotted the plants and that worked well for 14 days. Now they are showing PH deficits again. The soil has PH 5,4 -4,8. What could be the reason?
