3 months agoAsk a Grow Question What do guys think is going in here?
Strain: blueberry muffin
Substrate: cocoa loco
Water pH 6.3
Nutes : blue planet 3 part, recharge and mammoth p and fish shit ( I use a different microbe every watering)
3 gallon fabric pots
Watering every 3 days
Nutes every other watering with microbes
I was feeding a little heavy been using calmag with every watering as well. I backed off when I I started seeing some yellowing went to plain water now back to half strength nutes is this over watering? Or some sort of pest Ive been battling spider mites all freaking year I’ve cleaned the rooms out thoroughly moped with orange oil and they still come back! I use canna control it seems to knock them back but not really fix the problem

I wonder it it is a nutrient burn. However, and I’m just thinking off the top of my head. No expert. Does it lack the characteristic nitrogen burn look of hook? However, it still has that classic nutrient burn look. But with a little bit of a Rusty Cal mag deficiency on the side nuance. What does maestro say?

@sunny Oh hell lol my point was that the nutrients you would be more apt to overdo during this part of life would not be nitrogen. Were you trying to use a booster?… It’s funny that the booster is always the nutrient that seems an over abundance in any soil I ever test. Yet we keep paying to add more.

It’s a sticky nutrient. This is a big problem in agriculture in general. Nutrient just slips away with the rain so easy. Phosphorus is like that unemployed buddy that can’t stand living at his moms. So he’s always over at your house.

How much water when you feed? Mine did the same,I just dealt with this , they were drinking a lot more almost 5gal a week each( almost did 1/2gal every day actually. They are sucking buildup from the media and if you have pests that’s adding to it. I bumped my calmag from 5ml to 8ml and it seemed to do better actually. They get super hungry so I know for the next run myself. I’m sure there’s more. When jmystro answers you’ll get your answer lol. But honestly, that’s what I just went through and that’s what I did myself. Thankfully, it was later in flower so I just started water feeding for finishing.

@SurferDad_grows_aka_CannaDad That’s interesting that you mentioned build up, that might explain why I am always getting a fairly high amount of phosphorus in all my soils that I test. I am usually only testing used soil. So again, I got to ask, why are we on the hunt for this product to pay for when it seems like it’s always hanging around.

@SurferDad_grows_aka_CannaDad I’m watering 2.5 gallons per 4 5 gallon fabric pots watering every 3rd day

@jimshortz the first run started yellowing and I was using about half nutes bumped it up everything greened up so this time I went full nutes from about week 3

@jimshortz yup, so they were great with what you were doing then drastic change, yup, drastic dryback because their appetite changed.from what I’ve noticed it seems to be clockwork.I’ve had damn near dunk them to rewet and get rid of dry pockets. I’ve got a 5gal and 7gal fabric. Until late veg early flower it was 1/2-3/4 gal feed(MEDIUM feed) then flower hit and it was 1gal each every other day up to 1.5. I was using 10gal a week per 2 plants with 20-50% runoff depending if I was doing water every other to lower my soil runoff. It was at 4500 at one point and had all sorts of issues. Sorry for the length but had to explain.

And I just got high so. Could be all backwards.

@sunny excess in the media either from heavy feeding like you said or Not enough runoff with high amounts of nutrients. I regular fed just plain water for a week, after serious flush for a day and it planed out. I’m in MotherEarth Groundswell at the moment . Cannacocoa/ and dots get here Tuesday to start the next run. It’s the little tricks you learn with with good and bad times and having good mentors to pick brain from. A water bucket with the shower head helps more thoroughly saturate your media compared to pouring it in from a 1liter bottle. Creates pockets.
Haha I’m getting baked sitting with my ladies drinking coffee and talking to you my friend haha.-
@SurferDad_grows_aka_CannaDad and I’m about to get high and spray the flower room for buggers that could be lingering around. I agree that a showerhead is definitely preferable to any other type of head for watering. I don’t enjoy a watering can. I love a pump and hose coming from a large reservoir. But I do like to party like it’s 1999. Anything to avoid the 2000s
