Organic GDP, blue mystic and short ryder

[Bunnybrew]

It's on pretty much all the larger fan leaves of the short Ryder. I watered it with some organic blackstrap molasses if it's cal mag related and in case it's a phosphorus issue I added this organic product that should feed instantly

If anyone is absolutely convinced that it is a fungus then please chime in so I can take action asap. The blue mystic and one of the GDP have some slight rust spots on a few leaves also but nothing like the short Ryder.

Would the fungicide spray hurt if it's not fungus?

I'm not sure. I wouldn't think so. I just don't want to use a fungicide if it's not needed

It'd help if you took some photos with your hps switched off. You can't get a true feeling for what your plants actually look like with all that orange light

I don't think that it's fungus. It's a deficiency of some sort. It's showing evidence of maybe calcium deficiency, but that could be caused by an overabundance of something else. I know from experience that there is a delicate balance between, calcium, phosphorus, and magnesium. Finding the sweet spot can be difficult, especially with organic materials. I usually try to correct the situation with foliar sprays and I am often successful, but once they are past the third week of flower I only spray the leaves and try to keep the excess moisture off the buds...a difficult operation. Good luck!

Thank you for your input. It's greatly appreciated

My leaves are doing this too, at first I didn't think much of it. It looks like it's def. a Calcium AND Magnesium deficiency issue. I've been foliar feeding with Epsom while waiting till more then likely Monday night for my Cal-Mag bottle to get here.

This is the problem with supersoil, too many ingredients. I've just been reviewing your recipe and Although you don't quantify each ingredient, you've got 3 direct sources of calcium and 2 of magnesium. I'd say your phosphorus is being locked out by excessive cal. What's the ph of your soil like?

I don't know my soil ph. I only have the drop test for liquid. And I did figure it would have been very hard to be a cal mag issue because yes there is alot of both in my ingredients

What in your opinion could I do besides flush that could help? Will I have to check ph and adjust?

 

[DonBrennon]

I could well be wrong, best thing to do IMO, is give em a compost tea (AACT) next watering, it's my 'go to' remedy for sick plants. I'd topdress some high P guano, kelp and some neem if you got it, mix it into the mulch and then water with the AACT.

......oh, and flushing wont really do anything, you can't really adjust the soils ph mid-grow.

Will do. Thank you for the advise. I kinda think my soil is not very strong of a mix. I got that assumption when the alfalfa seeds in my alfalfa hay started sprouting in it with no problem at all once I mulched with it
