Sweet Seeds [Thor] Dark Devil - Sweet Seeds - Soil

[pasimito]

I advice to check the ph of a soil, by looking at ph of runoff water mate.

Thanks for making the pictures bigger dude! Yeah that looks like calcium more than mg but they both lock each other out once a difficencey starts so its good to give the plant both cal and mg. Also check your soil ph like pasimito said by watering the plant till you get enough run off to collect it and then ph that. Im pretty sure once you up the dose's of cal and mg that problem should stop. I stay feeding cal and mg the whole way threw a grow and still get problems.

No prob bro! I have been trying to give molasses and Epsom salt to mine every watering but still getting the yellowing too. I grow 100% led and some say that's why it happens to much but I have to deal with it every time as well! Shits getting old so I bought a gallon of cal mag!

I really think I have to disagree with the whole led thing. I use hps and every grow i have gotten cal/mg, i just think autos in general are very heavy on it from my own experience. I use Canna cal and canna mg, they say not to go over the 1ml dose rates but yet i still get cal/mg and had to up the dose to 2ml a litre.

Cal mag dosage increased and the damage seems to be slowing. The leaf tips on some point downward. Drainage capabilities of the pots are suspect. It took 5-6 days for the pots to dry out. They only have 4 large holes on the perimeter, no hole in the middle. This style of pot won't be used again.
A switch to air pots will occur after this run.

After everything that plant A was put through, it still produces. Frosted nugs of spicy funk. Very impressive.

Plants B, C and D have showed consistent growth. They took damage from the calmag deficiency and a bit of over watering yet still developed into some fine looking plants.

Thanks for the input and for taking the time to stop by.

nice update

Not sure why I get an error message when trying to view the posted pictures. I hope others can click on them and see the full size version of them.

Hey man looking really nice i bet you cant wait to smoe those buds. Have you added much perlite to your soil mix? this could be the reason why your drainage is so bad. You should really be watering every 2-3 days at this stage.

 

[Thordinar]

The oF has always had enough perlite in it to achieve a 2-3 day dry out before in my old pots. This time I switched to a shorter wider plastic pot with no central hole in the bottom. Just 4 along the perimeter of the base. If these pots ever get used again a hole will be drilled in the bottom of them. But honestly those air pots are looking really nice.
