Old leaves? Or nutrient burn

Reason that pot is “ light “ after “ watering “ is that medium is probably hydrophobic and needs watering low and slow - meaning watering in a way to fully saturate it. You could place plant in a large container and water it over and over until properly hydrated.

PH your mixes and water before adding as sometimes soil buffers are NOT guaranteed… this way you KNOW what you put in plant is ranged properly for uptake.
I run various soil mixes and regardless of its makeup , i STILL make sure what i add is close to what plant needs. It helps dial in shit.
Great to know.
pH to 6.5-7? Leaning more toward 7? Just to clarify for my own sake.

The newest sock master grower has it nailed
bk78, assuming you're feeding plants the correct ppm of each essential nutrient (macro, micro) (at least according to your measurements) but you're concerned about, as one commentator suggested, nutrient transportation/"translocation" ... is it more likely that you have fertilizer solubility issues (e.g., precipitation) than you are to need to add more nutes, more chelated nutes/chelation helpers, or even translocation helpers like myco?

what i'm getting at is, you can always throw more product/money at an issue ... you know, it helps to learn how to drive before you get out on the highway ... that's my working analogy for why I haven't committed to buying CO2 tanks yet, but it kind of works here, too....

Dude I’ve seen your rough looking rooms. Everyone seems to like to read books, but no one grows healthy crops.

Put your book smarts to actual growing before you come at me and try and tell me how to grow cork boy.

how do you turn asking a question into telling you how to do anything? if you add nutes but are not getting desired results ... just seems like many simply buy products off shelves and don't spend enough time learning to mix them properly. less is more.

sorry you don't like my rooms. how's your anime collection coming along?

My 2 shekels …

I find that paper nerds make the worst growers , no need to analyze genome sequencing, celluar half life , atomic weight of carbon and other associated nonsense.

Unless one is growing in a Full Laboratory setting ( plant in a clean statis field surrounded by an electromagnetic bubble ) , fed with singular elements thru plant tissue under the most advanced lighting ever created then its just fluff.

The best growers work the strains and discover the pros and cons of the cultivars they have . Breeders constantly dial in characteristics of phenos by natural selection …. This monsanto / Dow chemical way of looking at common home grows is plain stupid.

agree with this wholeheartedly. not sure how passion for plants turns into education bashing ... to each their own, some of us aren't so one-dimensional.

bk78, rough rooms? i was maybe 6 months into this at that time. i'm like 15 months into it now. earlier, you said you've had a med grower license for 10 years. seems like you've reached a comfortable perch to talk shit from but ... thirsty for likes??? that's like a 10-year veteran competing with noobs. gtfoh, lol

Think before you try coming at me next time. Now your vagina is all sandy, just like the last time.

Later book worm

Here is a good tip …. ADD kelp / seaweed extract to your waterings … you will find it helps in bloom and adds beneficial micronutrients for that EWC in medium. Also probably no more than 10% EWC per container volume ( little goes long way ) , good stuff. There has been a few growers trying EWC only grows.

Not sure if these bottoms leaves are nutrient burn / nitrogen def or if they’re just getting old.


Details of grow:
Mephisto double grape
Ffof mixed with perlite
3 gallon fabric pot
top dressed with ewc and 2 TSP Stonington 5-2-4 on day 22
HLG 135 rspec LED
Light is 18/6
Day 33 (8/30)
Looks pretty good. Really dark green, so I'd just be giving plain water. But I like to use yucca too. Yucca is a wetting agent (makes water wetter, lol). I though I was reading your soil might be hydrophobic so I thought I'd mention that.
