Deficiency/Toxicity symptoms in hydro plants, help

[colour]

If I'm following ya Stinky: Foliar could touch up the cosmetic blemishes while you are treating the roots? Do you ever have problems with them burning from magnification?

Is the same method good for clones, foliar with a weak solution?

I'd wait until the clones are established before feeding them, but then, yes, it's fine.
I never have light burn problems because the key is the 'MIST LIGHTLY' part of the instructions. The dish soap acts as a surfactant and breaks up droplets, and you should use the finest possible mist, and apply VERY lightly, let dry, wait a day, apply again, watch for improvement. Follow? I always urge restraint in feeding because it's easier to fix hungry plants than burnt ones!

Update: I know its only been a few days but they are getting worse...a lot worse. Would a good flush help? I want to have these in bloom 2 weeks from now...feasible?

Colour, what have you changed and what are your specs right now? A photo would help alot as well.

They SHOULD be looking at least better..... not a lot worse. Have you calibrated all your meters recently?

This is a bummer, man...thats a bummer...They are definitely showing no signs of improvement. I changed my formula to add some K: i went from 10-10-10ml per 1.5 gal to 8-8-15ml...and nothing. I also did a res change, 8-8-8 and at top offs added about 5ml of Grow Big (3-2-6)...Im thinking it has something to do with my top-off routine - I posted a thread in the Hydroponic section addressing the issue...As for my meters, they're dead on - Milwaukee:thumbsup:

thx,

CalMag replaces the minerals etc that RO or distilling takes out of your water. So yes.....you pay to take everything out of the water and then you pay to put things back in.

CalMag should be between a third and a half of your total ppms if using RO or distilled water every time. Liquid Karma isn't necessary.....CalMag is.

Good luck.

absolutely, positively, CORRECT :thumbsup: ... lay off the Karma for awhile, it supposedly coats the roots with gunk (I can't say for sure, I use molasses instead) ... use 10ml Cal Mag+ per gallon, you are definitely deficient ... you probably already know this, but Mandala's website has some of the best growing advice of anyone, I think he has it under his 'FAQ' section ... (Mike knows his stuff :thumbsup ... and, put up some photos, we can't guess at this stuff ... :smokin:

Thanks for stopping by Image Reaper! Here are a few pictures from this morning. 1st two are of the sick one, 3rd is the halfway healthy one.

I haven't read Mandala's FAQ's but you know I'm going to right now.
