New Grower Sick Plant?

Epsom salt will just take care of the mag deficiency, not the calcium, I use botnicare cal/mag... Though admittedly I haven't used it in a few waterings.,. Hope that helps, not sure of anything around such as Epsom salt that would supplement calcium.

Molasses has calcium in it :thumbs:
 
So that leads me to a question then, can epsom salt and molasses be used as a low budget cal/mag? and if so does anyone have recommended doses per gallon? this would be awesome for some of us low budget people. :confused:

Yes! you can totally use epsom and molasses as cal/mag! Make sure to get unsulphured molasses, as the sulphur will kill the micro-herd you are trying to feed, and also cause a PH upswing.
 
Use epsom salts at 1 tsp/gal, and molasses at 1 tbsp/gal...:thumbs:
 
Sweet you guys just saved me some dough...... Thanks a ton!
 
Cool. Sounds like a plan! I actually have been adding molasses to the big bloom and tiger bloom when i started.

I'm thinking my strategy will be continue the bloom nutes once a week, and supplement in between waterings with epsom salts/molasses.

Thanks everyone!
 
Hi Guys,
Hopefully someone can help these poor poor girls :( earlier in the thread this is what the plant looked liked....
It's in FFOF and was started off on FF nutes, than like a fool I switched it up to AN nutes that's when the trouble began, called AN up and they told me it was ph lockout... And to just flush it than water a few more times....I did a very good flush on wenesday. The plant(actually plants they're two next to each other I call them the twins) to me actually is looking worse.... I'm almost ready to kill these poor girls and put them out of their misery....
Here are the shots of the sick ladies

Sorry bout the twins, yoda. Wish i could be of help, but diagnosing sick plants is way outta my knowledge, being a total noob.

I just wanted to post a quick update and some observations with my sick plant, which seems to not be improving, in hopes any of you good people had any additional ideas or input.

Since you guys thought i had a cal/mag deficiency last wed., i watered her with molasses/epsom salts, and then the next watering went a little stronger with the tiger bloom and added the molasses/epsom salts again. The little rust colored spots are now showing up on other, more mature fan leaves, around the middle. I've already had two big fan leaves on bottom brown out and die.

They start real small and then grow bigger, mostly near the center of the leaf vein. I also noticed the pinkish, red color is exactly the same color as the petioles, and speckling on some of the leaf stems. I had that occuring since early on in the grow, but didn't think much of it as i thought it was hereditary and she looked pretty healthy at that point.

She just started week 9, so if it keeps going downhill, maybe i can ride it out? Buds are a little on the smallish side, but seem to be filling out.

Can anyone please help out? Thanks!
 
Hi
Have you tested the run off of your ph? I know mine was WAY OFF! Again tonight I aerated the soil and added some lime to it, I than also crumbled up more mosquito dunk in there and than water with cal/mag ph'ed up the water like to around 10 than added like 5ml of
Big bloom an watered again till run off... It's climbing back up from 5 to now about 6.0 and am thinking next couple of waterings lime should adjust things... I took off the worse looking leaves as well hoping that helps some... Going to ride it out as well and see what happens...
Sending healing plant karma your way man!
Peace
