Oh man...BobBong; I read in one of mine almost every day, just to keep up with the day to day...+ I still get advice from the forum.

Another important note regarding nutrients.

So often when we have a deficiency or toxidity; We tend to overlook the fact that the ph is quite possibly the cause of nutrient deficiencies...
Quite often nutrients lock up due to a deficiency or toxic amount of another element caused by the ph being off.
This is the reason that flushing for a day with ph water (5.8-hydro/6.5 soil) then adding a batch of correct ph/balanced nutrients (notice: I said, balanced batch not full strength of 1/2 strength batch; Because this is determined on a case to case basis)...is recommended.

I plan on doing a growfaq on the availability of each element to the plant at different ph levels...peace latewood

Hey gang.. i've noticed a lot of us seem to be incorrectly identifying plant problems.. so I thought i'd do some digging and came up with this..hopefully it clears up any misunderstandings some people might have about picking out a nute deficiency. NITROGEN (N) Pale plants, red stems, smaller growth. Rapid yellowing of lower leaves progressing up the plant. Add any chemical fertilizer containing N. Treated plants recover in about a week.
