30 days and some

Okay folks I’m back , and have many questions…
So i have watered today and added nutes cal mag, gold leaf … about a gallon each …
Finally have a dehumidifier inside and outside tent…
Temp at 76 humidity at 60%, light 20 inches above canopy… started to see some yellow spots on leaf ends … figured light was too close… now have some spots on the leaves, assuming they are nutrient deficiency… hence giving the cal mag…
What do you folks think?
Anything, I can do to do better?
VPD @ 1.32kpa lights on…
Looks as if they are flowering, no clue???
Still Lost4sure, and learning…
Tell the good bad and ugly, constructive criticism accepted!!!





What pH was the water after adding CalMag and gold leaf?

I ask because the leaf tips kinda flipping upside down makes me think pH weirdness. But I haven’t got the best eye for that.

My other thought is Gold Leaf is a one-part nutrient that provides 5-4-9. @PurpNGold74 can help me out on this one, but I think for some stages of growth that may not be sufficient P.

Have no clue what the ph is after adding nutes … didn’t know I was suppose to check that… guess i need to mix a gal and check it… my water is wally world spring water , it is at 6.7 I believe…
Sufficient P, what is that… potassium??.

Phosphorus. K is potassium (which makes no sense but here we are :joy:)

That will be good to learn. It may just be a slow steady pH imbalance creeping up on her.

Instead of being rude and sarcastically right… you could have just said phosphorus… but i did ask for criticism :rofl:

I dont think she was being rude. Just saying why on earth did they make Potassium - K?! So weird lol.

But for future references, everything you add to soil needs to be in the proper range pH wise. 6.3-6.8 for soil. I highly recommend the Apera 20 for maintaining and monitoring pH. And pH up and down for adjusting as needed.

At this stage, its not in super demand. Looks to either be in late veg or approaching flower. As u go further into flower, ull want to boost the P and K. But as of now, u maybe fine

I didn’t intend to come off rude. :scream: my apologizes for sounding snarky.

Exactly. It’s right up there with Na for sodium.
Most things I can understand - Li for lithium, N for nitrogen, Ba for barium, Ca for calcium, and so on. Heck. Even Fe for iron makes sense when you know they call it ferrous oxide.

That’s sort of my thought too - it’s a concern that there’s no method to increase the P without adding a lot of N at the same time since N is one thing I can often over-do if I’m not careful.

The word potassium stems from the English “pot ash,” which was used to isolate potassium salts. We get K from the name kalium, given by the German chemist Martin Heinrich Klaproth, which stemmed from alkali, which stemmed from the Arabic al-qalyah, or “plant ashes.”

Just in case anyone really cares. :smile_cat:

Well hot damn.

I do care - it helps make better associations than “K is for Potassium because P was already taken.” :joy:

Ever wonder about Sodium (Na)?

The molecular symbol for sodium is Na. From the Latin natrium, a sodium synonym.

:man_facepalming:t5::rofl: it just got real edjamacation real fast

All the things we forgot from chemistry class decades ago lol. Maybe should have paid more attention

I cant lie… besides those damn rocks that heat up when u rub them together. And my Chem Teacher wearing yoga leggings… i dont remember much else from High School Chem
