Soil: Fox Farm Bushdoctor CocoLoco mixed with Coast of Maine Organic Potting Soil
Roughly two months old
I water it every 4-5 days and I pH down my water to 6.5-6.75 range.
5 Gallon Hemp Breathable Smartpot container
Light schedule 18 on 6 off
Mars Hydro TS600.
I’ve had this problem with the entire grow of a previous grow. I switched the soil brands up, and went for a mix this type around.
This plant was doing wonderful in terms of the size of the leaves, nice dark green. I’ve been saying “wow this soil is so much better”. That is, until about 5 days ago. I’ve been noticing something’s wrong AGAIN. I’ve given it zero added nutesz
Like, why isnt it possible to get a halfway decent soil, give it the right water, decent light, and finish an autoflower start to finish without some BS. I’ve got bad luck.
Can anybody tell me what they’re seeing this plant is lacking? I took a look at a “leaf deficiency chart” wasn’t seen a match to what my leaves look like.
Since I struggled with this crap last time. This plant I started with the two soils above, and have been adjusting the ph of my water to 6.5-6.75 instead of straight from tap which comes out like 7.5ph like I did with previous plants.
I’ve got a bunch of nutes on hand that I tried throwing at the last crop “potassium deficiency” I got told. I get a 0-50-30 and it didn’t change a thing, anything I should do with any of these would be helpful.
Beastie Bloomz 0-50-30
Tiger Bloom 2-8-4
FF Grow Big 6-4-4
FF Big Bloom 0-0.5-0.7
FF Bushdoctor Cal-Mag (liquid) 1-0-0
Miracle Gro All Purpose Plant Food 24-8-16
PH up
PH down
One thing you need a light up grade your light only produce a 100w which might flower one plant on your next grow try to just grow one plant and keep up with input numbers and output numbers
I haven’t used any nutes on this plant in the photo. I listed a bunch of nutes I have on hand from previous grows in case anyone said “you got this, use this”
If you have the trio,
Big bloom, grow big, tiger bloom, w/ calmag. I would figure out what week your plant is in and start feeding from that week. I feed every other watering.
Feed, water,feed,water, ect.
About every 4 days for me
Plant is showing N toxicity along with what looks like a PH departure from nominal. My advice first off is to do a slurry test of your medium to determine salt levels before doing anything else. You ultimately may need to flush the medium to reduce salt levels present in that soil mix.
Autos tend to be a bit sensitive about nutrient levels and won’t tolerate higher doses like with most photoperiod plants.
You do need 150 to 200 watts of quality light per plant. Low light levels can reduce the plants ability to uptake nutes and can cause burning issues as well.
Add magnesium. Growing DoSiDo right now and they need nutes including mag with every watering.0.4Grams per liter of the blue stuff. and 0.2 gm epsom salts per liter every time you water. Remove all leaves that are discolored and diseased and watch her flourish.
I feed every watering. I reduce concentration to the numbers I have already given to you per liter and i will soon show the world the amount of weed I produce per plant indoors. it is amazing. Plants desperately need magnesium. Better lighting is always good also but they would not be suffering if they were not trying to produce more than they had the essentials to build. Above all else is the water you use!!! R/o water is all that my plants ever taste.
I hope I’ve been doing the “run of” correctly. I water it until I see water start to come out onto the plastic dish on the bottom.
I watered one of the affected plants, the water that spilled down into this plastic dish I swirled it around so there wasn’t any hot spots, and took a measurement that I let settle. This is what my readings came back as.
