Cut my losses ? Am I wasting time ?

[BurnzyBurnz]

All replies are greatly appreciated and welcome. I posted a few weeks ago about a mag/iron deficiency. I have been feeding it R.O @ 6.5 w/ Cal-Mag for 2 full weeks now and I have seen very very little change. I have included pictures of the current state. Im a week into 12/12 also and no hairs have sprouted. Am I wasting my time with this gal ? My other two are thriving so I'm thinking I just cut my losses on this one. Does anyone else know what I can do to rectify the problem ?

Thanks again for taking the time to read and help out. Have a great day.

What medium are you growing in?
What where you feeding ? & ppms?
What ppm has the water been for the past 2 weeks? What’s the run off ppm & ph? Then what is it after you flush another gallon though it?

Coco-Coir mix with earth worm castings & perlite. Temp with lights on 27C - 29C lights off temp @ 22C - 23C Room humidity at 55% all temps are steady with no fluctuations. Lights are about 12" - 14" above plants. Using HLG65 quantum boards w/ Blurps also. Feeding once a week using fox Farm Grow Big ( 6-4-4 ), 2 teaspoons per gallon of water. Regular feeding is R.O. @ 6.5ph supplementing with Cal-Mag & seaweed extract. I'd say I water averagely every other day depending on how the weight test feels. As for the PPM's I have to re-check and get back to you.

Is the coco mix pre mixed or something you mixed up? Just wondering why your feeding ph 6.5.
I get confused when people or companies mix amendments in to a perfectly good medium, is it soil, is it coco. how the fuck are you supposed to treat it...???

 

[coreywebster]

Also whats the total wattage per square foot?

if it was me id leave it in the corner or my grow room and concentrate on the other plants. i would not go kill it but i sure shouldn't pay much attention to it at this point
if i didn't have other plants i would probably keep it but would probably go back to 18/6 until its healthy again. if its only been under 12/12 for one week it should be save to go back to 18/6 with out the plant taking weeks to go back in veg.
i wouldn't have high hopes for that plant in flower in that state

 

[Kipn]

if you have a deficiency why are you flushing for two weeks and only feeding cal mag. i would flush with the ph ro water for 2 day to then go back to feeding with nutrients. if the plant is deficiency in nutrients flushing isnt going to help unless its deficiency due to your ph being off but that's why you flush for 2 days to get ph in range then start with nutrients again to replenish the lost nutrients from flushing and to give the plant food

Lol I know & agree... When they say mix I too am like " well the the f is it, soil or coir " - It's a coconut coir all purpose potting mix. Specs add • Charged Coir fiber
• Added Worm Castings
• Ecocert verified organic liquid charge for higher nitrogen and calcium in the fiber.

I don't see the problem feeding anywhere between 6.0. - 6.9. however mine is always at 6.5.ph and hasn't failed me yet. I realize that sounds stupid concidering my current problem however with everything I have read I'm in a good range. I've never had this big or consistent of a problem in previous grows and my other plants going now. What info can you share that you've learned and/or experienced?

You're treating your coco like soil - it's hydroponics not soil. Your pH should be around 6.0 not 6.5 and you should be feeding all the nutes twice a day to substantial run off at this stage of flowering. I'm surprised your other 2 plants are doing well.

 

[BurnzyBurnz]

if you have a deficiency why are you flushing for two weeks and only feeding cal mag. i would flush with the ph ro water for 2 day to then go back to feeding with nutrients. if the plant is deficiency in nutrients flushing isnt going to help unless its deficiency due to your ph being off but that's why you flush for 2 days to get ph in range then start with nutrients again to replenish the lost nutrients from flushing and to give the plant food

Sorry I must have explained poorly... I only flushed once 2 weeks ago. After that I have been Watering with Cal-Mag.

Thanks for your advise. I didn't think it would do very well flowering in this state. I just don't want to waste anymore energy on her if she isn't going to perk back up. like you said I want to focus my energy on the two that are doing well.

That's great info to hear. I realize coir is more challenging for me than soil. I think I may go back to prevent future problems. The two plants that are doing well and thriving seemed to have got a slight nute burn when I feed them everytime with nutes. So I went back to every other feeding and they are doing great. Growing like crazy and a healthy green for months now. I will ph my water down to 6.0. moving forward tho with the new info you have given me. As for run off I most definitely need to see about 10% which in my big pots takes 1 gallon to achieve this.
Thank you for your help !

Daily feeding replenishes the nutes, pulls in fresh oxygen to the roots, and prevents salt build up. I feed twice a day with 1/2 strength nutes. Good luck.

I see mag and P issues with your plant. I would switch to bloom nutrients with added mag and watch from there, and ditch the cal-mag for the moment.
