Mg Deficiency... yellow curling leaf's..

alright, i am pretty convinced that it was a lack of magnesium that these ladies needed, and that is why they were yellowing up on me and leaf's all curling together...
my question is after going through what they did, turning yellow, and shrivelling up..
how long after i feed them does it take to start to notice the changes?
i know i am a very impatient person, and that patience is needed w/ these grows, but i just want to see them get better..
i really have love for my plants, they're like another kid to me..

now my 2nd biggest one is falling apart on me like my biggest one was, but i think that is b/c she was already falling ... now that she was fed last night, i hope she comes back to life good...
it's been about 16 hrs since i fed them... too soon? if anything all my plants turned a little more yellow since then..
but they are still growing, especially when i kick on that MH in the mornings, they really react to it in a positive way..


1st pic is the plant i been posting ( my biggest lady )
and the 2nd pic is of my 2nd biggest lady, that is now having issues..
you can see her leaf's are spotting up on me on the left hand side

by the way all of my plants are this yellow green color... all 10...

What is it that makes some people think they need to add nutes to plants that small?

I don't get it.

I just don't get it.....

You are going to kill them, if you haven't already, by giving them stuff.

Its a weed my friend...it really needs nothing from you other than proper light, proper water and proper atmosphere.

All the chems and nutes are designed to assist or help in the grow...they are NOT dependent upon them. And, there is NO WAY feeding them anything that young will benefit them.

I understand how you feel close to them...its so easy to do...but really, you need to read some more and learn...

As far as time goes, you'll know in 48 - 72 hours if they are gonna make it now.

Stop giving baby plants nutes and they might just suprise you as to how well they will grow.

Good luck.

yeah they should have enough stuff in the soil for a few weeks at least then you need to add some nutes after it uses it all up

I thought that an mg deficiency turned the leaves brown...I thought yellow meant it was just lacking the proper dosage of nutes or not having enough nitrogen :p.

Sjacobs - You have to remember the seed isn't only there to offer life to a new plant, but it also feeds that new plant for the first stage of a plant's life - same goes for the soil.

Gentlemen and Ladies-
should i flush all nutrients out of my plants to save them? they are looking rough, some of them are..
the first pic is of the 2nd largest and the pain she is feeling... noticing little dots on her lower leaf's..
2nd pic is a little one that is hurting....
3rd is of all the plants....

*** this is where i got my info from, it's an ebook... " the cannabis grow bible "

A) Look at your problem and quickly search for any bugs. When you
have completed this search, eliminate any bug problems by using the
advice in the bug chapter. Also note the type of attack to make sure
that it is not a bug problem AND is a nutrient problem, which can
happen. Do your leaves look sucked and dry? Do you have any black
dots on them like bugs? Try to tell the difference between a bug attack
and a nutrient problem. Nutrient problems damage the plant on a
somewhat consistent level. Bug attacks are less consistent in the
damaged generated. They leave damaged patches everywhere on your
plant.
If the problem seems to affects only the lower portion of your
plant and or a bit of the middle then read B). If it is only effects the top
of your plant and the tips then you should go to J). If the plant is
covered with the problem then go to F).
B) If your plant is in vegetative growth and the leaves are going very
yellow, then you need more Nitrogen. If your plant is in flowering and
you have stunted growth, yellow leaves and it looks to be dying then
you need more Nitrogen. If your plant is in flowering and does not
look like it is dying but looks red or dark green/yellow then you need
to treat it with more P, which is Phosphorus. If these do not help then
go to C.
C) If your plant has leaves that are curling up, twisting and are going
yellow then check to see if your light is burning them or if the grow
chamber has enough air circulation. If this is fine then you need to
consider adding more Mg which is Magnesium to your plants. Epsom
salts are good for this. Add 1/4 - 1/3 table spoon of Epsom salts to 3
gallons of water is fine. If you still have a problem go to D).
D) If the tips of the leaves turn brown and curl slightly then you are
looking at a K problem which is a Potassium problem. If not, move
onto E.

no nutes for atleast 3 weeks as they are not needed
and them seedlings look normal
an mg deficientcy can be done with epsom salts like the grow bible says,
i use a teaspoon pf epsom to a litre of water if needed and i have seen results with in a couple of hours they start looking perky and refreshed again
cheers all :)

i knew that people were going to think that they looked ok, b/c in that pic they look ok to me, but 5 out of 10 are looking like they are hurting, and 3 out of those 5 that hurt, look like they are majorly in pain...

here's what they are looking like...
think i am going to flush them tonight, and then have to make this damn 45 min drive tomorrow to hydro shop, and pick up some good nute's, and ask advice...
if anyone thinks i should not flush please let me know, and why?
dont want to screw them up anymore..

i am searching the forum for good threads, but if anyone knows any decent ones, please shoot me a link....
( on flushing my plants.. )

anyways,
thanks everyone!!
