Potassium deficiency would it hurt them to give a but of my bloom nutrient in a veg feed? My bloom nutrient no is 1-2-3

Your suppose to be using both for veg and flower...just different ratios during different growth weeks. You have been underfeeding

Edit click on link, is that nutes your using? ..also look at feed schedule.

Water every 3 days at least. Use both veg and bloom nuts. Higher veg nutz to bloom nutz ratio when vegging and more bloom nutz when in flower. Get more lights. U will be fine if u act soon. Also when u water, water till some runoff occurs. I like to water just a little to each plant then do it again and again till runoff drips. Also, your soil may be hydrophobic now so add a drop or two of dish soap to you watering.

If it were me, I'd feed your plant some Epsom salt...all your pics show the deficiency clearly....and don't change anything else. You're not that far off...but she needs a little Mg. Good luck.

I was leaning towards mag deficiency too unless his soil is hydrophobic or locked out. DONT FLUSH!

That's kinda good you say this as I started a foliar feed with cal/mag plus botanicare I mix 1ml per litter of water then ph to 6.3 then i feed. I started this 2days ago and going to spry agin in a day but was considering adding b1 vitamin to the feed superthive

When you say promix soil, which type of promix? There are a few out there. Secondly, your veg NPK isn’t bad, but it isn’t great either. I usually don’t feed anything less than 8 in nitrogen. But what is your feed schedule? I know you said every 4-5 days, but what exactly do you mean by that, and are those numbers you just chose, or are you feeding based on the weight of the pot? Typically you Feed ( provide Nutes )/Water/Feed/Water, etc. Not sure if this is what you do, but if not you might wanna start. And how is your tent set up? I assume you have the necessary equipment, exhaust, oscillating fans, humidifier, dehumidifier, hygrometer, etc.

I am using promix hp soil. My feed scheduled if this what you mean is water then feed then water and so on every 4to5 days I don't let them go past 5 days without water. As for my nutrient numbers I waited till plants where 3/4weeks old started my nutrient at 0.05 ml and every feed went up a bit til I have reached 1.5ml today. Yes I got everything I need In the tent i think

I also did a foliar spry one time this week with cal/mag plus botanicare my thought on my problem was cal/mag but wasn't sure

So you seem to have everything in line. Anytime I see yellowing or bright green leaves, I up my feeding and nitrogen levels. If it were me, I would switch Nutes, that’s obviously the culprit at this point. I know you said they were designed for auto flowers, but I don’t understand how that makes any sense. I use the same Nutes regardless of whether I’m growing photos or phenos, it’s not like they require different food. And calmag really isn’t necessary unless you water with distilled or RO water, or you’re growing in coco which you aren’t. I use promix HP myself, and have never seen the things you are experiencing. But like others have said before me, I think they are hungry.

I started out with autos and the guy at the store said these nutes are good for auto so I always thought maybe only for auto as I could never find an answer to that question is it good line for all around growing.

Ok so just fed the two ladies. Up my nutrient leval to 2.0ml a litter and tested the ppm. My mix before watering sits at 590ppm. My run off is between 650 720ppm on two plants with soil ph at 6.4 and 6.5

That looks to me like its Magnesium deficiency.

What's the PPM of your water before adding nutrients? If it's below 200-250, you need to add a Calcium & Magnesium supplement (eg. Cal-Mag).

For Magnesium specifically, you can use Magnesium Sulfate. Epsom salt contains this. Just add a tablespoon per gallon of water.

So, if you don't have Cal-Mag, use Epsom for the time being, but watch for Calcium deficiencies if your water is in fact very low PPM.

My ppm of the tap water I use before adding anything to it is 150ppm thats after it sits out for a day or two.

I have started a foliar spry with cal/mag plus botanicare 1ml per litter ph to 6.3
