Nutrient Problems, high EC, but signs of deficit

norotobartobertostarted grow question a month ago
GorillaGlue is suffering. Run-Off PH is 6,4 but EC is high with 3,5mS. Is it a lockout because of some nutes overdose? Cant imagine its a deficency. What could i do to get back to bud development ?

Looks like issues with Mg, Ca, K to me and maybe P. Get more runoff when feeding and lower the feeds EC value. a high ec is not great but what its high in is also called into question. if the EC is all Ca then its going to be deficient in everything else. Check that what your feeding them is well rounded and when watering them do it slowly over time. I don't mind biobuzz but don't let its PH get low it likes it a bit higher 6.5-6.8 is fine. Follow their feed chat and mix it up to the correct ratios, then dilute it down to the desired EC and water in. Can also use a wetting agent to help the water flow. Good Luck!

Hi, from my perspective, the runoff values for EC and pH seem completely fine. If you're feeding the plant with an EC of 3.00 and getting a runoff of 4, that's normal based on my experience. However, I have the feeling that your plant is missing something. It looks very pale, which could be a sign of nitrogen deficiency. The necrotic spots might be caused by over-fertilization, but the rest doesn’t quite add up. The leaves are slightly curling downward, which indicates improper water management. Please increase the CalMag dosage to 1.0 - 1.2 ml per liter. The BioBizz Grow also seems too low—please increase the dosage to 1.0 - 1.5 ml per liter. From my experience, it’s quite difficult to over-fertilize when growing in soil. I suspect your plant is lacking CalMag, nitrogen, and potassium. Please increase the Bio Bloom dosage to 3.0 ml per liter. Good Luck! Feel free to Ask!

soil? Soil EC can run high and not be a problem. This looks more like deficiency than toxicity or some unusually limited lockout. pale all over, what looks like calcium deficiency... maybe your p/k are sky high locking things out? People tend to follow bro science and just blast the platns with "more" without knowing how much they already add, so if that sounds familiar backtrack on that. the skinny new leaves and chlorosis lines up with too much p/k. ratio of nutes, watering habits etc... this wasn't caused in 1 night of behaviour or 1 irrigation. this is month-long bad chocies or more.

Hi ja es sieht aus als hättest du eine Nährstoffblockade. Ein hoher EC-Wert führt beim Cannabisanbau tatsächlich zu einer Nährstoffblockade führen. Wenn dieser Wert zu hoch ist, kann es zu einer Übersalzung kommen, was die Aufnahme von Nährstoffen durch die Wurzeln behindert. Du must jetzt ein paar mal deine Erde spülen mit PH angepasstem wasser. Das machst du so 3 mal und wartest bis die Erde trocken ist zwischen de. Spühlungen. Dazu schaust du ob die ersten 4 cm deines Erde oben trocken ist. Oder du machst ein holzstock so wie ein Zahnstocher in die Erde wenn der bei ausziehen trocken ist kannst du wieder spülen.

HI bud. This looks like a case of salts/minerals buildup in the soil. Often due to bad watering habits. If the soil does not get a proper dry/wet phase, the salts and minerals can continuously build up. That could give you a high EC value and yet measure normal on the ph scale. An EC between 1.5 and 2 is usually what one would aim for. If I'm correct, letting your soil dry properly (first 2-3cm) then only applying water ph'd to 6.5 (no feed) until a runoff of 10-20% should wash the build up away. Be sure to keep an eye on the ph and EC vales of the runoff. It will take a couple of waterings probably so don't be in any rush. When the EC and PH are both where they need to be, you can start feeding again. Just don't forget to maintain a proper dry/wet phase, and don't feed your plant every watering unless she absolutely needs it. Hope this helps, even just a little.
