High guys,
We are in the mid of week 6 and I am getting worried...... Got deficiency problems which I can't exactly explain, just guess..... Why? Because I changed several things at a time, so now I feel dumb and have to do my best.....
So what's up??
Everything went totally smooth, but about a week ago, 2 plants started to show nitrogen deficiency, we'll that was what I thought.
So I increased the amount of biogrow, to get rid off that. Curiously, it didn't really seem to change, so I thought I may have watered a bit too much.
Then I left them dry a bit, not watering. Problem didn't go away and started to show signs of other deficiencies such as potassium.
I was really confused, because I really feed them a good amount. An amount that actually should be enough to not see problem increase this way.
So I was guessing.........have I maybe over time not kept soil moist enough in the entire pot so saltproduction caused root burning?? Well, I did wash the soil, deciding to see how they react and be sure to at least keep out this possibility as a reason.
I can see different types of symptoms on the plants........ Makes it a bit complicated, calculating feeding 6 times different. Never had such an amount of problems with feeding........
So, what did I "learn"?
First it was stupid to change more than one factor at a time. I knew that, but since everything was well didn't expect this outcome.
Besides, I never had deficiency with iron, Mangan for example and didn't have proper products at home.... Never do that again.
I am not sure, but I think it is as well due to a crazy short life cycle that you have to be very observative with nutrition and be aware you may have to feed insane amount of nutrition.
I really thought I was exaggerating feeding this time, but no...........makes me a bit "pissed" about myself 😂 hopefully I can manage it best way possible, finish and keep that in mind for the next grow.
