After days of Searching, Still No Clue Whats Wrong

[Will5437]

Okay, so these guys are 3 weeks old from seed. Some plants seem healthier than others. However, they all exhibit the same symptoms which range in intensity from plant to plant. They show yellow spots on the older leafs, the new ones seem healthy. Some plants exhibit darker spots.

I have searched, and thought it was either calcium, magnesium, or manganese defficiency. I added a table spoon of epsom salt, crushed up calcium vitamins and game them to my plant, but it does not seem to go away.

The PH is kept at the 5.5-6.5 range.

Here are the pics

Oh, btw, I am using B'Cuzz organic plant nutes

This looks like Manganese deficiency - most hydro solutions are missing this crucial ingredient.

Where can manganese be obtained?
I thought it might be calcium deficiency also.

I second this question, what is a good source of manganese for our babies?

 

[KaliKitsune]

Schultz Plant Food Plus has manganese in it, it's what I use.

well I'm already using nutes of my own, but free of manganese. is there any other source other then switching my nutes altogether?

get calmag or magical

Just add the Schultz to your nute solution. You don't have to change at all, just a couple of drops to help supplement what's missing.

I went to vitamin shoppe and found magnesium chelate in pills, I ground em up, and I added them to my resovior.

Haha, sorry, I meant manganese. I have both, epsom salt, and chelated manganese.

Thanks for your help by the way.

No Problem

Also if you're ph is between 5.5-6.5 thats a long way off ! hydro should be at 5.5-5.8 max and 6.5 is ideal for soil grows ! good luck !

lol how are the plants after that?

I start at 5.5 and let it drift naturally up to 6.5, then bring it back to about 6. After that has happened, a week has gone by, and it's time to start with fresh water at 5.5 again.

I dumped the res, and put in fresh water and nutes, and they are around 5.4-6.0 PH. Hopefully my plants will bounce back.
