[Weedhound]

MVP sorry to hog up your thread...this is the lastt time i'll stick another one liner post here (ha ha) but here's a photo of my k def in my plants......has a very...unique spotted look to it....and on the back of the left the yellow spots are BURNED through the plant.

Weedhound Reviewed by Weedhound on 11-27-2007. Hydro Nute Problem with pics... Help Needed I've been trying to figure out what type of problem I have here. The bubbler hold 4 plants (2 master kush, 1 blueberry, 1 super skunk). Two of the four plants have the same issue (one MK and the super skunk), they other 2 seem okay, maybe slight P def. Leaf pics are from MK, they are the tallest. I also have 2 MKs in dirt in same room with no problems at all. Here are some details: -indoor -hydroponic -hydroton -DWC system type -Water is 1/2 RO and 1/2 tap -Water pH is 5.8 (+/- .1 to Rating: 5

your reverse osmosis water has all the cal/mag removed, you need to add that back into the res with calmag+ or another similar product. You may have some other minor def working there, but with adding the calmag you should knock out alot of that stuff. While your at the store, i would also look at a micro nute just to be on the safe side (it wont hurt to have it handy if you need it).

From what i can see in your photo's your missing Cal for certain. I personally try and solve one problem at a time, that allows me to dial into the problem more accurately. Just my opinion, but i am sure there will be another post coming shortly.....

OK, thanks for digging up a photo. BTW hydro store # 1 is not open so I have to wait til noon to go to store #2. In the meanwhile I am building a small recirculating DWC for my Black Dominas that are due out of veg in a couple of weeks. Adding shelves to the Veg closet too.

Makes me wonder when I get my new job how the heck I will find time to do all of this!

Praying for Mg is a myth. Mg def presents as a regular striping between veins.
Looks like you've got potassium locked out somehow.
I'd go back to the basics, foliar feed with a weak solution of the GH micro to keep it from getting worse, lay off the Epsom salts, be certain that you've got calmag or that your tap water is providing sufficient micros, monitor pH carefully... you know the drill.
All this multiple-nute hydro chatter makes my small brain hurt.
Honestly I'd lay off the liquid karma and sweet until you know what's going on. But that's my personal opinion.

In my own hydro dabblings and splashings, I go by the 'less is more' approach to supplements- I use half as much as the rec. dose, and only topmax and molasses. I figure, a living plant that survives to harvest yields more by definition than one I've killed with supplement overdose... Weedhound may remember my misadventures with 'gravity' this summer... hahahaha what a fucking MESS.

To me it depends what the suppliment is....I love LK and will add some to sick plants regularly....but not at full strenth as Stinky says....(Stinky always says cool stuff ) and A TOUCH of sweet doesn't hurt imo (a touch is NOT 15/mlgallon) but I could drop the sweet easily in a sick plant and not be upset either. 100ppms of LK works out to about 3-4 mls per gallon.

PS....my bottle of gravity still sits unused.....staring at me....chuckling softly......waiting.....

Not using any chemical ferts, only organics, primarily Botanicare stuff. Any rec's instead of the GH stuff (or is it not synthetic?...) I do have a jug of Earth Juice here for the dirt girls but that stuff causes a bit of a smell...

Referring back to Mr. Clipboard, last nute change I added 2.5ml of Sweet and 5ml of LK per gallon of water. That resulted in Sweet = 50 PPM and LK = 100 PPM.

*Jingle, jingle* - that's my car keys as I get ready to head out and fetch the CALMAG :thumbsup:

YOU GO MVP!! Way to keep track of shit!!! i'm impressed.....don't let the dog hang it's head out the window in the car.....he could poke out an eye.....

Shoot. You're one of those dirty hippies with the pure-organic grows!
I haven't the foggiest how else to add a lot of micro nutes really effectively and remain fully organic.
Troubleshooting an organic grow is HARD as you've seen. I hate to say it but this is enough of an emergency to go grab a bottle of GH micro or algoflash and swallow your organic pride for a moment anyway... or have a friend do it if you simply can't bear to spray the evil chemicals yourself... hahaha....

WH, lol @ Gravity chuckling... mine is doing the same thing... mocking me from next to the kitchen sink... saying 'you aren't happy wiht me as a fertilizer? try me as a marinade!!! I'm kelp-ily delicious!"

Have a friend do it....ha ha .....pretty sly....like a your kid getting a shot or something.....
