5ml of calmag in a gallon of ro before nutes is around 240ppm. The house and garden rep told me to drop the calmag cause it causes uptake issues...i tried that but got rust spots.
They only gwt transplanted once, from a solo cup to thw finishing pots. No nutes in promix hp. Its just peat and perlite with myco, wetting agent and lime?
Are you including the cal/mag when you do water only watering?
No, pro-mix company enocalates all the mixes, with a light nutrient mix, do the research. I've actually talked to one of the main peaple from Pro-mix, and that's what they told me.
Im not trying to argue just reading whats on the bag. All the research i have done as said promix hp is inert. I had no issues after transplant tho. The plants are about a month old now.
Also looks like over watering, you can see speedbumps, and puffy leaves, over watering rotts off the root hairs on the roots, and then the plant can't uptake anything but water, that's where the purple comes into play, the purple is the first sing of MAG diefinency, first it starts very little purple on the upside towards the light, then the whole stem turns purple. The only thing to do is lay off the water, and ad microbes, then ,maybe you can repair the roots, but it's probably to late. I've been growing for 11yrs.
I'm not arguing, I'm just saying.
Yes. Should i not be? Also should i be doing a feed water feed schedule? Should i just use plain ro water on water days? Its pretty impossible to ph ro water im finding unless adding something to it first
No i didnt want you to think i was arguing with you. I appreciate your comments!
Now thats its big i water to runoff then not again until pot is dry...i thought it could be mag but did a foilar with epson salts and it disnt green up at all so figured that wasnt the issue
My ro water is 6.5 Out the filter at 0 ppm, I use pro-cal from green planet that is organic, so I don't have to worry about salt build up, but cal MAG is salts, I would feed, water, cal MAG, water, feed. I grow in pro-mix HP also, and I only feed once a month, feed water, water water feed.
I would not use epsin salt, you don't know exactly how much your using, that stuff is very powerful
That sounds good, yes, cal/mag always, water or feed. Was wondering if maybe you were not. 240 is a bit higher than what I run, I top at 200, but I don't know that 240 is a problem.
This dis coloring of the leaves hasn't happen yet, you can see the speed bumps, and puffiness in the leaves, thats, overwatered
That could be it, the Epsom spray, perfectly good thing to do. Are those close up leaves going yellower or are the edges going darker green? If you are not sure, watch them for a few days. I have seen some leaves blotch like that after Epsom sprays and they turned out great. If so, they will fully green in time, some parts are just greener faster.
Feed once a month? Dang. Some people i talk to feed everytime or feed water feed. Im thinking its the excess calcium that is blocking something from being taken in? Was giving full calmag dose every feed/water.
