View attachment 3040438 View attachment 3040440 View attachment 3040442 Let's see how this works. My ATF and bbhill girls are looking rough. I contacted Hamish and he alerted me to k def. obviously I respect the hell out of him and will follow his therapy advice. Here's some pics. The males look great. They've only received rain. However the girls have been fed the revs flower tea once a week. I was told on grasscity the tea is the problem and to stop feeding it. What do you guys think? Should I add some kelp or 4-4-4 fert? Hamish said to top dress ewc and feed hydrollysate and water.
I had this exact problem just a little while ago. Mobile element as it is in the lower leaves first, leaves you with K that causes that kind of scarring. Looks a lot like P but that is an immobile element so the tops would show it.
This can be caused by many things and as Stow points out a lack of K in the soil is unlikely. But not impossible. So go the 'full spectrum treatment' route.
Anyhow, my advice is still to top dress with EWC, with a little fishy feed. Or even just molasses as a feed. Whether the deficiency is caused by a lack of the element or it being locked out, BOTH will be treated all at once. EM-1 or a Lacto B serum will take care of excess ammonia nitrogen and free up the micro herd for other work, cooling things down in there and making conditions favorable for everybody.
EWC will also get the nutrient cycling up to speed. As a guy on another forum pointed out to Steel, it is a possibility there is an imbalance in the micro herd. This can also cause the K to be locked out right now.
This is the advice I gave Steel, hope it checks out solid with you fellas.
EDIT: Also, knowing WHAT element is lacking is neither here nor there in organics. We can't go after them as single elements like in hydro. For soil, I believe in gentle 'full spectrum' treatments. EWC kicks ass.
