Ok so pretty sure had nitro toxicity, then magnesium deficiency, though it seems to have gotten worse.

What would you say was my issue here? Gave it a real light Epsom salt feed twice, and last feed was flora grow and flora micro,with calmag, and a small amount of sulphate of iron. Not sure if this new deficiency is from Lee affected leaves, or if hey are new.

What would you guys say?

Sorry all, I may have been slightly intoxicated whilest making the above post, and I’m not using flora grow, as I had an abundance of N, so have actually been feeding micro and bloom. Apologies for my drunken mistakes!

Also, it is in coco/peat with guano and magnesium limestone.

Feeding usually every 3-4 days, in a 16l fabric pot. It takes around 6-7 litres and I check and remove runoff. Water goes in at 035ppm 6.3ph and runoff is around 750ppm with a 6.4ph. Not sure if that helps! I’ll try get some pics in normal lighting.

Also it’s getting light nutes.. around 2ml/gallon micro 1ml/gallon grow and 1ml/gallon calmag. Have also given a light foliar feed of Epsom salts as potential magnesium deficiency.

Almost 2 gallons every 3-4 days..... alright than. I am willing to bet your plant does not drink 2 gallons every 3-4 days, looks well on it’s way to being over watered. FYI I am the king of overwatering, I do it often unfortunately.

I mean, I leave it until it’s pretty dry, the 6-7 of course includes the runoff. I’d say it absorbs maybe 5L into the soil. I wait until the pot is real light to pick up before re-watering. Pics to follow in 5 !

Tips super curled, N toxicity.
Click to expand...
Yea, it already had N toxicity, so haven’t been feeding any additional N. Just micro and bloom, no grow. Last 2 weeks it’s had de ionised water with micro and bloom, along with some calmag, as I was previously feeding nutes on top of my tap water which is 450ppm!

Could this still be the N? I’m unsure whether it is just the leaves that were previously affected, as it doesn’t seem to be on any new growth, though they are clawed.

Maybe it just needs some time to get rid of the excess N? I’ve been putting a little extra water through to kinda flush out what’s left in the soil also

too much of any one nutrient can cause lockouts of other nutrients. i'd suggest a real flush, about 2 gallons of water for each gallon of pot size, then start off with a half strength balanced nute solution at the proper ph. let them dry out well before you water again, then the same half strength nutes. i'll bet in a week or two there will be significant improvement.

Is there any N in those? I know calmag has some.

My Micro is 5-0-1 and bloom is 0-5-4 though I was advised to continue with mico.

I’ve beeh giving them tiniest dose of all except flora grow though, including calmag to give it a little something but recover from the previous N toxicity. So yea I guess it’s still had N but removed major factors of over N by using de ionised and not feeding floragrow. You think it could still be getting too much N?

I mean, I’ve heard conflicting stuff about flushing but in all honesty it’s sounding like an option right now! My water was going in at 035ppm and runoff is around 800-1000ppm

Hold up brother: let's talk about your micro? Can you put up a label pic or more info?

Are you saying you're using GH Flora products? if so which products specifically, cuz unless I missed something your numbers aren't adding up

Your piecemealing your newts; no wonder everything's off, just read the label and start using all three products according to label directions, but start at 50% dose.

But if it’s coming out at 700ppm it has plenty of nutes left in the soil, why add more? I’d just chill with the nutes use plain ph’d water for awhile.
