Akvinskystarted grow question 5 years ago
Setup:
Soil+vermiculite (5:2)
Temperature in box is about 84F. Near the led 60w is about 90F
Ph in - 4.5-5.0. Out - 6.0-6.5
(because of vermiculite?).
Ppm in - 140 (only water last few days) . Out - 1500
On vegetative stage there was no problems with the same ph and ppm plevel.

4.5 is to low and if it comes out at 6.5 there is a ph problem for sure. PH in the soil is way to high. Flush with a good amount of 6.0 ph water. When the soil drys out water with a ppm of 800. Try and keep water at 6.0, that's the magic number.

chasv77, 3.5-4.0 inches to the top from led. Distance became much less. I mean it's seems like vermiculite up ph level (from 4.5 to ±6.5)

IMO your temps may be too hot for one. For only a 60w light, that may indicate you are not ventilating enough.
Are your plants too close to that light as well? Was it the same distance from canopy during veg? I know growing in a box can have lots of vertical challenges.
If your internal -> external ventilation is maxed out, you could use c02 (DIY setup) to help those plants more.
I have no experience in using ppm as a health indicator of soil . I would suspect that the Vermiculite has no bearing on that. As it just inorganic material used for absorption and aeration.
I assume at 5:2 mix, your soil should drain well, so over watering is not an issue(?), unless I am missing something. FYI, Perlite is a little better additive for areation, but doesn't hold nutes and water as well.

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

White spots on a few leavesAny idea what these whitish yellow spots are? They appeared overnight. I'm growing in ffof with perlite and ewc. No nutes added yet, just bush doctor cal mag at half dose 3 days ago with great white, recharge, and photosynthesis Plus which was the last watering of 1.2 liters.

Advise to flush or feed in VegDoes this is look like a nute burn, deficiency, or ph problem? The two plants that are growing a tad taller have had yellowing tips some curling downward. Don’t want to overreact and cause it to worsen, they’re looking healthy otherwise. Any advise whether to flush or feed?

Should I do full flush til runoff is 300ppm?So, it is obviously a deficiency, which probably caused by a lockout. Will the full flush solve it?
Yesterday I fed her a full dose of flowering nutes. Including K. It didn't change much. Lower fan leaves continue to go yellow.
Today 3L water, pH:6.2,
runoff:0.6l, ppm:1450, Ph6.0

Does that look like an early deficiency?Hi everyone, what ya thinkin'
What kind of deficiency could that be?
My bet - potassium.
last portion of water was ~6.2 pH
I wasn't feeding her nutes for ten days by now.
Because previous runoff was ~2000 ppm. I thought would be a good idea to do just water for a while.

Thoughts on leaf symptoms? The other plant in tent is doing same thing,but plant in other tent getting similar feed not. see diaries for more picturesK deficiency? Hard to believe that can happen in 65-gallon pots.Are getting big though.New growth tips looked yellow,hit them with water-soluble K and the new growth edges seemed get green.Some toco-ing, humidity is kinda high. Too intense light(800 ppfd), not enough C02 maybe?

2 autos with crispy feeling sad looking leaves, how can I help them? (more info in diary pl & crit)2 of my autos have been growing leaves that feel crispy and look deformed. I have been watering when the top 5 cm of the soil dries, but I fear maybe I fed them too much nutrients. The temp has also been on the high side (30C 80F). What could be wrong and what can I do for them?

Leaf IssuesHey all, my almost 5 week old Moby dick auto flower is starting to show some issues in the first week of flower. She got a dose of Veggie nutes 5 days ago, and a little bit of Bloom yesterday trying to fix it. Temps have been high and humidity low, would that cause this?

Leggy Seedling Recovery attemptPlant got leggy. Lowered 100watt vivosun grow system light. DLI is now at 40 with 20hr on cycles. Plant dropped into final pot so soil could support weak thin stem. Watered recently and leaves got more yellow. On day 4 after recovery attempt. Any advice? PH 6.2-6.5.

Lower leaves too pale or yellowing?I am noticing the lower leaves of my Royal Critical Automatic to be much more pale green than the top of the plant.
Is this a nutrient/light/watering/lst stress problem if at all?

Yellow on leavesDay 13 leaves started to look yellow / dull on tips hasn't seemed to improve 2 days later, it is the auto soil premix I'm guessing the roots are getting close the soil and nutes kicking in or does this look like another issue?

Weed doctors to the rescueDay 44, fb auto, my happy girl developed those dark spots at the top... Is this a Calmag deficiency? Although I'm giving her calmag every feeding. I think there are also first burnt tips. I'm about to water her tonight, what should or should not give her? Thanks for your inputs🙏
