Any of you notice Ca or K def symptoms about 48 h after a single application of Gravity?

This is the first time I have used it and have DISTINCT K def symptoms and it looks like some Ca def too, VERY sudden onset, is this a frequent side effect of the stuff?

It's noticeable on about half my plants, all different strains, all in compost, although some still have a lot of coco clinging to the roots from my flirtations with alternative lifestyles, lol....

Aha, so you admit you've tried Bi-gro. I guess you didn't think it was so "disgusting" when you were enjoying it.

I never figured you to be a Republican, but you sure are behaving like one.

wtf is THAT supposed to mean? And what does it have to do with my post?

I think we've just been visited by a Bush Administration spokesperson.

Stinky- what was dosage rate? Media pH?
Did you cut the Cornicopia? If so, %?
Were you able to pull the lights up?

Some folks report stress syndromes at application- never saw it myself. I'm wondering about a sudden change in cell-level replication, and assoc. nute uptake.
Folks who report stress syndromes almost always recover quickly- if you are sure that you're seeing defs, you could foliar Cornicopia and a little Cal-Mag.
Most frequent complaint ( not many) is sensitivity to temps/light burn.

Hmmmm well, I used the concentration on the bottle, and didn't feed the cornucopia that feeding.
I fed shortly before 'dark', but didn't raise the lights (ducting = mess)
Haven't tested pH recently at all. Everything had been looking GREAT.
The symptoms are actually not far from the ones I was seeing back when I had no temp control.... hm... that makes sense actually.
I foliar fed with floraMicro this morning and gave calmag last night as part of the regular feeding schedule. I'll post improvement or not.
Tahnks for the quick reply... I'm cutting a new exhaust hole this afternoon actually; the temps were up again- I accidentally dropped a towel over the end of the active intake duct, oops....

Two app rates on bottle-5ml/gal for two consecutive waterings or 10ml/gal for one watering only.

Did your space go hot right after you applied? Stress and pgrs can do weird things. If room went hot, area immediately under hood may have gone warm in a non-linear fashion. Gravity definately makes plants temp-sensitive for a couple of days.

Nute availibility in compost-based soil goes up w/ microbial activity, which increases ( to a point) with temp- might be making up for the Cornicopia.

Let me know how they look tonight. Sounds like just a blip.

[stinkyattic]

I did the single-watering dose.
And the space went hot about 12 hours after app, when the lights came back on.
Being that I AM in compost, microbial activity + temp sensitivity may be a likely culprit.
Thanks as always for your advice! Oh... and your previous suggestion of the dip n grow... two thumbs up, I'm seeing action already!

Only joking with you, Stinky. A meaningless quip that apparently offended instead of amused. My apologies.

[stinkyattic]

It went directly over my head... is there something that I am missing?

[rhizome]

Yeah, I love Dip-n-Grow... and it's so damn cheap.

How long do you think that bottle would last you? I've never actually gone all the way thru one- I always knock em over before I use em up.

Caution- bad stink.
