Sick plant w/ pic (hopefully)
Great suggestions. Thanks, Daihashi.
I'll get started on it later this evening when my artificial sun rises. And will probably need to go buy a few 3 gallon pots before the store closes.I recommend the following based on the little information I do know.
Pull the plant from the pot. Check to see if it is rootbound. If the plant is not rootbound then water the plants until you collect about 3-4oz of run off water.
Check the ph of this water. If it is outside of 6.3-6.8 then you need to do a flush.
People say to flush with 3x the pot size, but I think you should flush until you achieve the desired ph. When you're done with a flush be sure to water with a light nutrient solution. About 1/4 strength.Man there I go assuming things again1. You NEED to know the ph of your water. It's distilled and from the store but dont assume it's neutral. I've had distilled water that was ph of 5.5 and then went to another store and had distilled water at 7.4. You should definitely know this PH.
I checked just the first time I bought the distilled water and it was @ 6.8 on the color chart. Thanks for that tip.Ok, I'll also get some C/M. Do I stick to directions for mixing with water, or is there another method to add C/M for supplementing?2. You say you're using distilled water or RO water. If so you need to be supplementing with Calcium/Magnesium. This is ESSENTIAL for the plants. Make sure they are getting it.Got it, thanks. At first when I read this I was thinking to myself--What does Daihashi mean by just regular water--. Even wrote out a response/question asking you about it. Then it dawned on me what you meant.:jointsmile: I have been using the fertilizer on every 3rd to 4th watering. Could'nt get it out of my head you were talking about type of water. LOL:stoned: Once again thanks for the info/help. I'll let you know how it goes.:smokin:Hoss5. Do you ever water with just regular water. Constantly watering with a non organic fertilizer will result in salt build up and give you multiple lockout problems.
