How do I fix it? Epson salt?
I used two teaspoons and sprinkled it on the top soil. I have a feeling it's the Dr. Earth.
What soil? Did you add any amendments? That much yellow is usually underfeeding..
Underfeeding? never thought of it that way. I started with Fox Farm Ocean Forest. On the 5th week, I flipped to flower and started using Dr. Earth, water and unsulfured molasses. At the third feeding, I checked the run off and the PPMs were at 2000. My tap water is at 450 PPMs. minus the water, the nutes were at 1550.
From what I researched, the molasses feeds the microbial life in the soil, which then aids the roots Iup taking the nutrients. My tap watering roughly 7ish PH and the PPMs are around 450. Do I not touch the Water’s PH? I thought a PH above 6.8 is a bit too alkaline. I have the Fox Farm nutes, but I didn’t want to go the synthetic route this round. My question is, what do I do to recover the plants? Are they recoverable? Can they bounce back? I think I have a few weeks left before harvest and I want to do whatever it takes to get them up to par before harvesting.
I'm afraid your thoughts are plain wrong. If you want to multiply microbes I suggest you do this in a controlled manner with EWC/microbial teas.
I appreciate the insight. I’m still not sure how to approach these plants. Are they recoverable? Do I just feed them water from this point on? Do I continue to use tap water? Do I pickup some spring water and use that? Do I give it tiger bloom? I don’t know which direction to take.
I would personally look into brewing EWC/microbial teas. The immense multiplication and amounts of microbes in teas will probably fix the problems caused by molasses. I would not add any more nutrients before plants fully recovered.
I thought FFOF has nutrients for the veg cycle, not the flowering cycle. If that’s the case, I should be able to do that throughout the entire run.
no worries. I just ordered some cal mag in hopes it will help my plants. I have a few, if not a couple weeks left for harvest. I’m going to spray the leaves with cal mag and water and add cal mag to a gallon of water and run it through the soil with a teaspoon of tiger bloom and maybe a half teaspoon of big bloom for a little nitrogen. I’m going to pause on the dry amendments for now. I’ll take one plant in the next round and test with the Dr. EArth to see how the plant reacts. I have a little female plant in the blue Dixie cup on one of my pictures that I posted. It was looking great until I sprinkled a little Dr. Earth on the top soil. A few days later, I noticed the lower leaves yellowing and slight change of color on the stems. I flushed the cup with water to see if the plant will recover and so far no change on the yellow leaves. Tomorrow is due for some water and I’ll give it some calmag with tiger bloom as check a few days later.
