NUTES/Feeding Issues W/ CHURCH Need Help!!!!

I think he needs drainage.....read: better flow through the roots.
And to check ph of runoff although i'm not sure he can.

Wondering about the possibility of an anaerobic zone @ the bottom of the bins- but that'd affect anything else that you may have in bins, as well. Is there any ammonia smell to the soil at the bottom of the bins?

When you say that the moms were up to 1600 ppm, were you using the same nutrient regimen? I ask because I've pushed stuff up to like 2k on Pure Blend, but the same cultivar was nuked by Sensi A/B @ 800.

Also, is there any possibility that evaporative concentration has caused the EC of your media to be considerabley higher than the EC of your feed? It'd be interesting to take a media sample after watering, press it thru a coffee filter to get the fluid component, and check pH/EC.

I have the feeling this is going to be a drainage issue complicated by a light feeding strain/individual. I've never grown Church, so I know nothing about it's feed profile.

All I can tell you about the feed profile on mine was it was pretty piggy......I'm sure we had ours in the range of 1300-1400 (in one of those crappy w/f buckets.....) so I'd doubt 900 is "over the line" for church but I'm no soil expert either.

Thanks Riz I'm going to try that coffee filter trick and I hope we can get some answers... I will check the smell of the Soil and get back to everone soon Latest will be in the AM

Thanks to all:

You are all Great to Have Around Sincerely GL420:jointsmile::jointsmile::jointsmile:

Were Else can you get 10+ Educated growers IDEAS? Kindly with Friendly Advice:thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup: You are all good people

Here are the way the leaves look on the ones that are not doing well and others in the beds are Green as can be... To much Variation..

My church has barely been fed ANY nutes, and its getting light in color, but the entire plant is getting light uniformly...I dont get it either man...

Yeep! Kinda looks like you HAD a Zinc def if you were seeing that symptom when the leaves were young. Looks from here as if there was a point in time, about a week long, where all the new growth was affected by the problem, but then you see greener growth... Is it getting worse? Are the new leaves setill showing it? The pics seem to show that your new growth is not affected, which indicates the problem no longer exists. It's usually caused by high pH actually- your low pH may have solved it, if new growth looks okay.
Get on those bitches with a micronutrient supplement foliar feed - GH micro- mixed a bit weak, and add one DROP of dish or hand soap to the spray bottle.
Keep us posted, and still try to improve your drainage!

Here are some better Shots!!! The last is just a Shot of the Big Girls!!!

SNS yours looks like This?

Just fyi... iron and zinc lockouts often go hand-in-hand. They are locked out by the same conditions.

Thank You Stink:thumbsup: I appreciate the Help!!!
