Hempy help needed!!

[lilmafia513]

Hey guys, I have a PPP in a 4 gallon Hempy bucket......see below from 12 days ago.....



My problem is that it doesn't look like this anymore.........see back left plant below.....

The lowers started yellowing,browning and turning brown and crispy.
Now the whole lower 3/4 of the plant is yellow and leaves are all mostly dead and crispy.

I use the Fox Farm trio on all my plants....I heard that Boneman fixed all his hempy problems with cal-mag, but im broke!!

Is there a cheaper, more accessible option to cal-mag

Thanks Guys!

yeah, regular epson salts, give it a good flush with 1 heaped teaspoon in about 3 litres of water, not sure if this will fix your problem though, how long into flowering are they? yellowing and dying leaves starting from the bottom up is perfectly normall when in the last few weeks of flowering.

Sorry I didn't see this earlier. Yes, foliar spray with epsom salts will cure cal-mag deficiencies very nicely, for about a buck. Cal-mag is great as a preventive or cure. If you use RO water, you pretty much have to have it. I had real problems before I started using it.

Well, they are 5 weeks into flower, but there is very little bud mass to the plant, and the problem has been around since week 2 or 3 of 12/12.
No RO for me man, just plain ol' ...........TAP WATER....

Epsom salt it is, i know right where to go get it too!!

Should I foilar spray or water the perlite with it? Whats the dosage per gallon, for foilar spraying?
Thanks Agian guys!

You probably don't need a gallon (well, maybe you do!). Just fill a quart spray bottle and add 1/2 teaspoon. Shake it up really well. And a drop of liquid detergent will help it stick and spread. Spray all the affected foliage.

I have to admit, your picture is not the best for diagnosis!

Thanks!
