Deficiency Problems Possibly?

CarlitoTheGreat · Aug 20, 2021

Been Trying To Find My Way , I’ve Been Through 3 Plants One Was A Boy My Auto Didn’t Turn Out Good At All & Now I’m On My Last Plant . I Moved This From A Hot Closet With Low Humidity To The Temp & Humidity It’s Supposed To Be . I’m Thinking I Might Have A Iron Deficiency But I’m Not For Sure But I Do Wanna Figure it Out & Handle It . So I Can Get My First SUCCESSFUL Harvest . Started This Is March . I Use Coco For Medium . I Flushed & Switched From General Organics To Advanced Nutrients For Coco Coir A+B . My Nutrients PH Is Always 5.5-5.8 , PPMs 550 Transplanted & Added Some Super Thrive Fertilizer 4-4-4 And Watered With 6.0 ph Just Water .Its Been 24 Hours Since I’ve Done It Hoping For A Turn Around . Close Pictures Are A Few Days Ago , Pic Of Whole Plant Is Today After The Transplant & I Did Some Training. If U Got Any Ideas Lmk

Just google how to grow in coco. We see these issues daily here on RIU.
some simple rules.
feed to runoff daily. So plant needs to be elevated above a catch tray so it doesn’t suck up the runoff.
never let it dry out.
never feed straight water.
feed around 1-1.5 EC ph 5.8.
good luck.

Elevate the pot some how so you can catch runoff,20% minimum.Record ppm of runoff should be close to input ppm.

What Do U Do If It’s Higher? Just Water A Little More When U Feed?

Flush it again, is the PPM going down?

What was the thinking behind adding the superthrive?

As I expected,Just pour water through wont take much,then mix ec 1 and feed. Tomorrow same deal,1 EC with lots of runoff.

I assumed I had an iron deficiency so I thought it would help add some to the plant

1 EC is About 500 ppm right?

Depends if you're American or European.

CarlitoTheGreat · Aug 20, 2021

American

CarlitoTheGreat · Aug 20, 2021

500 or PPM times 2 divided a 1000 is the right formula right
