I fed both plants the recommended amount for seedlings using the calculator on mega crops site. I use water bottles at the moment instead of a gallon jug to hold the ph corrected distilled water due to the ease and size so the amount of nutes I used was like .14 of a gram which was basically a tiny pinch. The plants are in espoma organic seedling starter mix with 30% perlite. I’m just concerned that it could be root rot since the lower leaves are becoming more yellow each day, crispier and the spots are now appearing on leaves closer to the top. Should I give the Pineapple some calmag, mega crop, or mammoth p all of which I now have on hand? Also, I plan to replant today in a 3 gallon smart pot using promix organic and perlite but I’m not sure if I should do the first water with only ph 6.3 distilled water or if I should mix up nutes too. I’ll add some pictures in a few minutes of the lower leaves. Thanks for the reply’s guys.
Mammoth p is expensive and I recommend just to use that in flower when needed. I suggest getting an all round microbe product. Yes replant if you want feed it dont wait with megacrop. I found that the calculator was too hot for what I wanted so do that at 1/4 strength or use a ppm meter and water it down to about the 250-300 range for that size plant. You can add the cal mag during just a watering later on.
When you transplant water in just water but feed it same day. You need to get the whole pot wet, you dont need nuted water to do that and waste it.
Stop worrying about the old leaves we are moving on from that.
Microbes very small amount once a week stop 2 weeks before chop
mega crop as needed
kelp once a week dont need alot stop at week 2 flower
humic acid once a week small amount stop 2-3 weeks before chop
any supplements as needed
done right at the right time and you shouldnt get a deficiency again.
