Looks like she has a serious magnesium deficiency @Kylehowell1127. She needs either Epsom Salt or cal mag. If you’re using either of those…you have a lockout that flushing with a couple of gallons of water over a few days will reset everything
To give more background, growing in soil and perlite medium. Using natures living soil auto blend and have been ammending with compost teas which ive made with their girl flower power and honey.
I haven’t added any calmag, should i just add calmag or flush first? Sry I’m a little dense.
It depends on the ph and ppm of your runoff water. If you want to be safe, just flush a couple of times over a few days. If not…add cal mag the next time. There are quite a few threads about this here that might help you out
Thank you very much!
You’re welcome…good luck. Do not listen to anyone that tells you that flushing does nothing. Common sense should tell you that drenching the soil with a lot of water will clean everything out and certainly won’t hurt anything @Kylehowell1127
Thank you. People say that? That sounds like total nonsense to me, logically of course it would! I’ve been staying away from forums and that sorta stuff for the most part because of that kinda bro science silliness. Maybe it’s just a misinterpretation of the school of thought that says flushing at the end won’t make a diffrence which is based on some study i guess. I dunno, first time grower, my opinion is moot.
She looks super hungry, nitrogen, potassium, phosphorus…basically all micro and macro nutrients essential to growing a healthy cannabis plant. Is your intention to grow 100% organic, if so what are you top dressing with and the medium should remain damp with no run off. Salt based fertilizer should be fed/watered to ample run off to rinse the accumulated salts away from the previous feeding to keep a healthy root zone ![]()
She is starving… Needs all nutrients.
Ive just been topdressing woth the girlflower power from natres living soil (which is a type of compost i guess) and feeding compost teas. I think i discovered the issiue, i flished last night and tested the runoff and it was veryvery low. So i mustve not been ablt to uptake anything?Anyone know how or y that could be though?
Sounds like you’re missing a lot of the essential nutrients mainly the big 3 …NPK. Post a pic of the nutrients you’re using. Jacks 321 is an inexpensive and simple nutrient line used by many ![]()
Welcome to the community we’re glad to have you. My first thought up the feeding. (Plant looks hungry ) ![]()
Welcome!
I found the support ticket that helps
If you could fill out this support ticket
(copy and paste this text into your topic and answer as many questions as you can)
-What strain, Seed bank, or bag seed (photo or auto)
-Age of plant
-Method: Soil w/salt, Organic soil, Hydroponics, Aquaponics, KNF
-Vessels: Type and capacity of container (fabric, plastic, etc)
-PH and TDS of Water, Solution, runoff (if Applicable)
-PPM/TDS or EC of nutrient solution if applicable
-Method used to measure PH and TDS
-Last time watered
-Indoor or Outdoor if indoor, size of grow space
-Light system List brand and wattage/spectrum

If growing Hydro some additional questions:
-DWC? RDWC? Autopots? Ebb and Flow? Other?
-Distance of liquid below net pot (DWC)
-Temperature of reservoir
-TDS of nutrient solution
-Amount of air to solution
I see they also have a product called Soil revival. Have you tried it?
I wonder how the microbes and life are in your soil? In my living soil, i rely on microbes, biocatalysts and my worms to make the nutrients available to the plant.
Just to add, compost teas are usaully viewed as more of a microbe innoculant rather than a nutritional supplement. For context It does offer some nutrion but shouldnt be viewed as a replacement for feedings. Gl bud, and happy growing.
I suspected that it would be @Kylehowell1127. I forgot to say that in my post. When I grew in soil and I ran into a runoff issue…I would flush with as much 6.5 water as it took to get the soil back in range. You’re not going to hurt anything by doing this. I’ve had to drench plants SLOWLY of course with as much as 5 gallons of water to get them to reset.
