I don't think it's N burn considering that she is hungry for nutes, if i'm not wrong my compost will be able to feed her for 2-3 weeks before she needs food and at the point when she needs food, she starts showing the browning of the tips and yellowing. On my next feeding i will see if it gets worst then i will know whether it's N burn or not. Do i add the bloom nutes together with the molasses and whats the quantity ratio for a 1.5L bottle ? Thanks a lot Vapeo for chipping in

 

[vapeo]

yes.. just add in the molasses with your bloom fertilizer. I just use 1 teaspoon per gallon. Which is 0.4 teaspoons per 1.5 liters if my math is correct.

-underfed plants usually take on a light green color instead of a deep green hue
-brown tips and then brown spots down the sides of the leaves is usually an overfed plant

:tiphat:

Yeah my plants have all the deficiency symptoms of N, P and K and maybe Cal and MG. I went through the picture chart for stressed/sick plants and it seems that they are hungry. Anyway i will definitely update more and do a report on my next feed.

- Do you think i can add molasses during veg together with veg nutes ?
- Can molasses be over fed causing burns ?

 

[Gonzo]

It looks similar and i have killed a few but they don't have long legs like those do. Those are fungus gnats right ?

I am not sure but if not, they are certainly close relatives. I do not even care about any more, because I rarely see them out of that yellow trap.

 

[Herbfulness]

Yeah i have no idea where they went, i don't seem them hanging around anymore. I regularly check the underside of my plants to make sure there ain't any kind of pest. Cheers man

-you can if you think the plant needs a cal/mag boost
-I'm going to say yes, but its probably harder to do than with the other nutes. I really don't know for sure

Sounds like bugs in the soil bro! Yellowing from the bottom up starting with tips, with cal-mag type deficiency. Your Roots aren't absorbing the required nutes. Next time you water, make a small puddle and look closely at the top. If there are small little worms that jump around those are spring tails, cheese fly larvae... look like house flys. They will EAT your roots if they can't eat what's in the soil, they will also over populate if there is consistent moisture. Fungus gnats look like mosquito's and there larvae are maggots, slow moving with a black capsule on the end which is there head. If you are giving them nutes every once in a while and its still going bottom up yellow with little dead spots, water.... look at the puddle closely and then dig a small chunk of soil out and look closely. If there is nothing then stop all chem nutes, water with plain water for the week and then try a dallop (big drop) of molasses per gallon. The molasses will give the cal-mag, i will usually add a tablespoon or so of epsom salts just in case. Remember LESS is MORE with auto's. You can also mix in cinnamon in the fist couple inches of top soil and then top off with perlite.

Occams's Razor says the most simple and obvious choice is usually right. An across board nute deficiency points towards nutrient uptake problems, meaning roots or PH. Since you have noticed critters before chances are they are chowing down on your roots.

Also do not feed a vegging plant a whole bunch, auto's can do MOST of it on there own.

How's the little lady coming along? Picture update this weekend? :GoooAuto:

 

[Herbfulness]

Man all the problems are stressing me out. The bottom of my stem doesn't look right, i'm afraid it might be stem rot or something. I still have my lower leaves dying off but i heard that it's normal because they have done their part. Anyway i researched about the springtails and i thought they weren't harmful. On my next watering i will be doing a picture update, staytune for more as you can see the difference in the growth spurt

Morning mate! :tiphat: You need t`get a ph meter!(I know you`re short on readies, but...). If you`ve got probs with your girl, you need t`know where you are(ph of soil and your water/feed).AquaPal pH pen - Green's Horticulture ...This will repay its cost, many times over! I would also top your pot up(to just below cotyledons). I know your getting stressed, but, it`s hard t`fix issues, when `you`re flying blind` mate!
