Is there something wrong with your tapwater?
I like this advice, check your local water report..it will give you a lot of info about your tap water. Going through these roller coaster rides is all part of growing. Foliar spraying... Google is your friend.
next time, you can use seaweed solution/meal, that cures most if not all trace/micro/macro nutrient problems without the danger of over ferting the plant
Clean Kelp, capful of that in a 32 ounce spray bottle, maybe a dash of cal mag, spray them leaves, don't have to get them soaked, just a light mist, every day till the 2nd week of flower.
No my tap in shity Binghamton is pretty decent the ph is around 7 consistently, i let the water sit in the big blue water jugs that go upside down for atleast 24 hrs to declorinate
So your saying dont ph my tap water? Just let it declorinate and then its good to go?
If it's a living soil and your tapwater falls within those ranges (<200ppm, pH 6.0-8.0, no glaringly bad contaminants), then I would strongly recommend to not pH the tapwater and just water straight out of the tap.
+1 letting it sit for 24 hours is a good way to let the chlorine gas off. And do not pH the tap water. The root zone of your flowers do that for you to where they want it in an organic setting/grow. Let the soil do it's thing. A compost tea might help ya out here. (Google compost tea) and/or a worm casting tea. (Google Earth worm castings tea)
The salinity in organics isn't as severe as synthetic grows. If you over do it with the amendments maybe a problem, but highly doubt that scenario with dry amendments. One fertilizer (organic) is derived from the earth, the other (synthetic) from a factory. Two entirely different approaches to the grow room. Organic is as close to setting it and forgetting it as you can get when done right. I think he should've done a tablespoon to a gallon with the dry amendments and it probably didn't need it till the flower stage as "new" soil usually comes with enough nutes in it to carry ya for at least 6 weeks. The way he described this soil he's using, probably 8 weeks.
So I just wanted to run this by you guys. So when I added the gaia green 4-4-4 @half strength at first i read the amount wrong, so i put to much in the one plant and i thought to myself thats alot of nutrients, like it looked like a lot sitting on top of the soil. So i looked back at the directions and its a good thing i did bc it was way to much. So i scooped out alot of the soul on top of the one plant and then added the half strength amount to the other 3. The reason im mentioning this is because the plant that i scooped out the top dress that had to much is now pretty green again.
Show us some photos of what they look like now.
Yes all seeds
Yeah, I could be wrong, but it looks like a few different lockouts going on at once. Combined with the droopy leaves, I'd say a pH issue. I stand by my initial advice, which, even if I'm wrong, will only help.
So i was thinkin is there a chance that the soil is cashed like i used up all the nutrients that was in it to start with? I transplanted then into the 5 gal pots on march 19th. But since im using a wicking system the water never runs out the bottom like f i was pouring from the top. So im wondering if its even possible that the plants ate all the nutrients. I also have a fan on the floor oscillating (and a clip fan ontop of the canopy) could the fan on the ground have anything to do with any of the problems? Like the air blowing on the cloth pots maybe?
