Hello everyone, im currently running into a problem with one of my plants. Its a Sour Diesel about 6 ft high 6 ft wide. It started to yellow on me for like 3 weeks now.
Ive been feeding it maxsea 1tbs per gallon once a week with cal mag 5ml per g. ...5 gallons total. The plant is in a 30 gallon smartpot. Any idea what it can be? Can it be nute burn??

Here are a few pics.

Are you dealing with extra heat and drought, by chance? Potassium is my guess ...

there are varying app rates . if your sure sulfur a epsom salt foliar with no NPK is great a 1 tablespoon per gallon .
a few days later do 1 teaspoon of gypsum (calcium sulfate dihydride) with any sort of nitrogen fert that does not contain calcium as well . if you see marked improvement a topdress of gypsum a i tablespoon per 10 gallons soil weekly will balence calcuim and salt ratios
be sure to use a wetting agent ...

I've been growing tobacco this year (I'm around Vancouver BC), and I got nailed by Potassium deficiency during a hot'n'dry spell even though my super-soil was adequately loaded.
I gave my plants foliar feeds of 0.56g/L Potassium Sulfate along with two waterings using that solution and it stopped the progression.
With the end of the heat, growth went back to normal.
The point is it didn't matter that the plants were watered. Heat will quickly fuck with the chemistry .

What do u recommend for a good nitrogen fertilizer? I got maxsea all purpose and also the foxfarm trio, are those types of ferts that youre talking about?? Or Do you reccommend anything else?

Maxsea does not contain MG. You might try a shot of Epsom salts or CalMag...

Ive been giving it cal mag with every feeding, which is once a week and plain water in between feedings. Should I also add calmag in between feedings with every watering ??

No, if your already giving it CalMag then it's not Mg def...I have had to double Maxsea dose for a few plants. You might try an extra feeding of Maxsea. Good luck

Are you feeding it maxsea every watering? If so I would suggest giving it maxsea every 2 waterings or every other or just give it plain water phed for awhile. Sac gets hot so you can let that soil dry up really well before you water or feed the plant. Maybe also try using diamond nector when you give nutes as well.

Also from the picture it looks like u may have a spider mite issue. Pest can really stress out the plant which can lead to deficiency symthoms.
