    Plant Problem - Too much food?

    I would use tap water at a 7 ph and add fertilizer till it hits 5.9 ph. Orangic baby formula is a good temp ph up as when organic nutes get broken down the ph raises in most cases unless manufactured at a crazy lab.

    Plant Problem - Too much food?

    I'm a little worried about my plants. What do you guys think is wrong? I transplanted/flushed last week.

    Plant Problem - Too much food?

    It looks like a combination of things. The yellowing tells me it's a nitrogen deficiency, while those slightly purplish/gray dead spots tell me phosphorus, too. The purpling in the main stalk and fan leaf stems is normal [ I've got a couple plants with the same appearance as far as that goes ]. Is the soil dry enough to begin watering again since the flushing? Need to feed them something if that medium's depleted.

    Phosphorus can be stored by the plant so you need to up the rate of transperation to save her. Up the heat and put a fan on her. Deficiencies of the phosphorus is still a lock up due to the way plants store it I would figure. Even after flushing 10 times the amount water to soil nutes will remain so I would hold off with cranking the numbers. I would feed her under 100ppm of added ions at a constant. If you got a multivapor it will fair better then under a HPS. The MH has more blue light which produces cloroplasts and gives a nice green color. To much yellow and you will be breaking down the cloroplasts to fast for the plant to stablize itself. If a leaf is more then 75% damaged cut it off. Damaged part of the leaf can be trimmed off to. To much cutting will cause stress which will be counter productive aswell.

    I possible give her like a 10-1-6 for NPK. Alaska grow is organic and a 5-1-1 that and some maxi crop would be great for her. Like 80ppm alaska and 20ppm maxicrop. Drop of thrive alive green per gallon. That is what I would give her. The bottom of the pot will need to be no more then damp really to help adjust the ph of the ions in the soil up. I would look into getting a garden sprayer to water if you dont have one and give her just enough watering everyday.:thumbsup:
    Peace

    You could give her baby organic soy formula with iron. The calcium should help stablize the ph. It has folic acid to which helps with stress and break down lock ups. I dont usuall recommend humnic acid due to its half life measured in centuries but it is good to add with lockups. Like 15ppm is all you need. Dont get the one with lipids as that promote water retention and you need transperation.

    I have a fan on them so how do I up the trasperation? I am really new to this so I didn't really understand what you were saying. Should I use a different bulb or should I feed her something?

    Transperation is increased with low humidity, air flow over the stoma (disperses water, kind of like us peeing but more holes), heat and silver excites electrons which helps as well. Magnitite ore was first seen used in Roman aquaducts as lower polarity promotes health of animals and plants alike. As far as the bulb goes a Metal Halide or Multivapor would be best, (same thing pretty much). Do you have a meter?
