how long for nutes to kick in? +rep for help

[Schotzky]

this is my first grow using teas. ive got the whole concept down and all. im pretty sure i mixed compounds right for flowering too. i used a heaping tablespoon of ewc's, a couple tablespoons of 0-5-0 bat guano (i usede extra because P seemed low to me) and a tablespoon or so of molasses to 1 gallon of distilled water. i used foxfarm ocean forest soil too
my ladies just started budding a week ago and leaves are turning yellow and the stems are purple so i thought P deficiency, but i fed tea 3 days ago and the purple stems are still there and leaves are turning yellow. the leaves might also be turning yellow from too much water its been raining alot. could the nutes also have been washed away from all the rain water?
should i just relax and wait a little while or should i add more guano in water. btw the top of the plant looks green and healthy to me. just the lower stems and leaves.

no help? at all?

Its some kind of def. Sounds almost like lockout is your ph to okay?

 

[trichlone fiend]

...a picture would help out. You wouldn't notice in 3 days, much of a difference. The damage that you see will remain, only the new growth will look healthy "if" you fixed your problem.

You might have some nutrient lock out. last year i had a lot of leaves turning yellow just like that, it seems a lot of people have the same thing going on. Personally i never understood this because some growers say they grow with basic organic nutrients and additives and never have any leaves turn yellow. I would guess if your pH is spot on then the plants would absorb all the nutrients it needs to maintain it's vigor

 

[Schotzky]

ya i forgot to mention the ph is roughly under 7 or roughly under 6 i dont remember its dark out i cant go look now
should it be around neutral 6 or 5?

 

[Schotzky]

oh shit ya the ph is right above 7 its gotta be more acid. what do i have that is acidic lets see... lemon juice is acidic, what lemon juice to water ratio should i use for adjusing it down from 7 to 6 or 5? any help is greatly appreciated i gotta act fast more leaves are yellowing.

use fish emulsion=)! if fed right you will see changes over night=)!!! no joke=)! good luck=)!

man i dont have enough money for fish emulsion or i would

Lemon juice does work but its not a long term solution. You have to keep adding it everytime you water.

ur brewing tea but didnt mention the compost you used. is it old or new? what kind?

 

[SeniorRaincloud]

i suggest lime ( phosphoric rock ) that would lower your ph level=)! good luck=)!

 

[kblck]

definitly check ph of soil. and definitly i think u got a nitrogen def but you dont need high levels of nitrogen during flowering. just cut off the leaves that are dead or add a low nitrogen fertilier complete with a superbloom

\

2 tablespoons of (0-5-0) bat guano, 1 tablespoon of ewc's and 1-1/2 tablespoons of molasses. and i used ocean forest fox farm soil

 

[PlantManBee]

you're broke and the soil is too basic and you need more N.....pee on that shit!

 

[Gr33nCrack]

Adding molasses will work too, I found its quite acid, hopefully not too much cause I give my plants it everytime.

i pee in the water for each watering. its a pH problem

The only things that happen fast with nutes are usually very, VERY bad.

Good things take a week or longer.

that works! pee in a gallon bottle & fill the rest up with water!(rain water would be better)) man made nitrogen!!

My plants have to be closer to 6 in soil or it goes bad.
