TRY TO IDENTIFY THIS NUTE PROBLEM! With Pictures For Your Viewing Pleasure...

What signs of over-watering do you see?

Oh, I don't know...perhaps it's the seedling's washed-out green (yellowing) leaves that are curled-under. The color of the soil says it pretty saturated too.

A hydroponics shop is moving into my town! I met the owners at the local bar last night and after talking to them they may have touched on something relevant: Iron Bacteria. Ever heard of it? Apparently its everywhere but can be worse in some places.

I'm willing to bet he has a cure for this condition, (rust) for a nominal price. IMHO, not even close to relevant unless your water well is solid iron. Perhaps he was just drunk, but I wouldn't trust him after an answer like that. (did you Google his response...?)

In the meantime I've purchased some distilled water to use instead of my well water. Once again I've been told that I HAVE TO use Cal-Mag Plus when using distilled water. Agreed?

I'd google your local water conditions, and if nothing unplesant, would re-consider using the wellwater. Cheaper, and much easier than bottled or R/O. If your wellwater is ok for drinking, it's ok for cannabis once ph adjusted.

CalMag Plus is not necessary till late growth stage or early flowering. CalMag Plus also contains iron. (will feed the bacteria, lol) CalMag plus is a molasses derivative with nothing exceptional about it other than the pricetag.

I'm really hoping someone can help me identify this problem. I have read countless posts, talked to several hydroponic store owners, and read lots of information on how plants and nutrients interact. After tons of horticulture research I have a suspicion of what the problem is, but after screwing things up already Iâ??ve decided to ask the community for advise on what to do. I have seen many pictures of marijuana plant problems, but I have never a picture that looked like what Rating: 5
