Acidity test on foxfarm ocean forest soil. With vinger and backing soda

Ive had a plant go from outside too inside light and turn hermie from extra hours of light

Yes this can and will happen . Ps try this run your autos on 18-6 for blooming …youll get a larger fuller plant ,:wink:

Yes true. But i have push the limit many times. And its the time between that matters. I have kept a plant under so much stress it just died. I did on purpose. And i have toped a plant more then 20 times. The 2 weeks rest between two branch bends. I have trained a mother for 1 year . Then flowered her. She was 6 feet wide 3 feet tall. Not one seed. Something i learned from doing bonsai trees its the rest that matters. I bet i can bend an auto. Actually i have. And i can show you. Right now

What do you consider cannabis friendly nutes? Using nectar of gods now

@Sasquatch would be the one to so that question to.
I hen I used nutrients used Advanced. P H Nutrients you just can`t go wrong with there nutrients. Just my opinion.

No Sweetie, i was referring to manganese deficiency. Im using nectar of gods & recharge. not sure how to fix this. From what ivre read i should flush but then what?

You should increase your Medusa and Demeter’s after the flush what are the results of your slurry test?

Oh ok my mistake…

Manganese (Mn) Micronutrient and Immobile Element

Manganese Helps enzymes break down for chlorophyll and photosynthesis production, as well as it works with plant enzymes to reduce nitrates before producing proteins.

Having plants that are deficient in manganese can turn the young leaves into spotted (mottled) yellow and or brown areas on young leaves. Dead (Necrotic) yellow spots form on top leaves, while the lower older leaves will or may have gray specks and or spots. Symptoms can include yellowing of leaves while the leaf veins can stay green. Can also produce a chequered effect. As the plant gets newer growths the plant will seem to grow away from the problem, that’s why the younger leaves may be unaffected. On the top of the leaves, brown spots can appear. While the severe areas of the leaves turn brown and wither. Parts Affected by a Manganese deficiency are: Young leaves.

Too much Manganese in the soil will cause an iron deficiency. The blotchy leaf tissue is caused by not enough chlorophyll synthesis. Your plants will seem to have very weak vigor caused by the excessive amount of manganese.

Problems with Manganese being locked out by PH troubles

Soil ph of over 6.5, High iron soils, Low nitrogen Soils, Dry weather
and compacted soil.

Soil

Manganese gets locked out of soil growing at ph levels of 2.0-5.0
Manganese is absorbed best in soil at a ph level of 5.5-6.5 (Wouldn’t recommend having a soil ph of over 7.0 in soil) anything out of the ranges listed will contribute to a Manganese Deficiency.

Hydro and Soil less Mediums

Manganese gets locked out of Hydro and Soil less Mediums at ph levels of 2.0-4.5
Manganese is absorbed best in Hydro and Soil less Mediums at ph levels of 5.0-5.6 (Wouldn’t recommend having a ph over 6.5 in hydro and soil less mediums.) Best range for hydro and soil less mediums is 5.0 to 6.0. Anything out of the ranges listed will contribute to a manganese deficiency.

Solution to fixing a Manganese deficiency
Foliar feed with any chemical fertilizer containing Mn., or mix with water and water your plants with it. Any Chemical/Organic nutrients that have Manganese in them will fix a Manganese deficiency. (Only mixing at ½ strength when using chemical nutrients or it will cause nutrient burn!) Other nutrients that have Manganese in them are: Manganese chelate, Manganese carbonate, Manganese chloride, Manganese dioxide, Manganese oxide, Manganese sulfate, which are all fast absorption. Garden Manure, Green’s and are both good sources of manganese and are medium/ slow absorption.

Now if you added to much chemical nutrients and or organics,( which is hard to burn your plants when using organics) You need to Flush the soil with plain water. You need to use 2 times as much water as the size of the pot, for example: If you have a 5 gallon pot and need to flush it, you need to use 10 gallons of water to rinse out the soil good enough to get rid of excessive nutrients.

Ill do a slurry tonight when they wake. I did notice (im in late veg) i was allowing my ph to be 6.5 not the recommended 6.2- 6.4. Could this be my problem? Increase tsp medusa & dementers?

If you increase Demeter’s and Medusa up by a tsp they should start to chelate. Unlocking the magnesium and other trace minerals you might be lacking.
