Two different problems?

Man I spend allot of time here anymore...:cry:

Is this cal/mag?

Ok, I have two strains going. Onyx & MI5. Both almost at week 7 from seed. In Pro Mix BX. Using General Hydroponics maxi dry. 1000watt HPS. I have yet to give them any bloom nutes and have only foliar fed them once with epsom salts.

Before last feeding I had a N deficiency. Muddy helped me turn them around in 3 days with an ammonia solution before they were dry enough for feeding. After the feeding they came right back and were really green and shiny. Looked great!

Now I had what started looking like cal/mag and thats when I used the epsom salts. Seemed to work. That was about two weeks ago. They were just watered a few days ago. PH seems on point. Now I am seeing this...

That looks like cal/mag deficiency to me. You can do a foliar feed with the epsom and molasses just watch to not spray the forming buds, get both sides of leaves like I am assuming you did in that first foliar spray. Or you can add it to their feeds. Hope this helps.

Squid man, you are quick dude! Thanks!

Yup, I did both sides of the leaves last time and added 2tbs of molasses per gallon to the last water...careful around the buds. Will one foliar feed do it? Or should I hit them a few times?

Again, thanks for the quick reply. This place is GREAT!

 

[The Squid]

No, do it at least a couple times, two days in a row. Just make sure you give them about 30 minutes without being under the light so that it can soak up a good bit. And you don't wanna have it under full light when foliar feeding anyway because it can create reflections and cause burns.

one should do it... dont wanna go overboard... :smoke:

 

[JM]

lol... hehe.... a couple times is ok i guess.... but your molasses should be kickin in pretty quick right behind it...

 

[The Squid]

Good call, JM. True. It isn't that bad yet. I know my tomato plants take a couple times before it turns around.

Cool Squid, I do raise the lights up to the ceiling when I spray. I've burned my babies before and learned my lesson a few years back. I usually dont like to spray them at all during flower but these autos have thrown me a few times so far. These buggers move so fast!

Thanks JM, maybe I'll go easy. Autos have tried my patience this grow, gradually upping the nutes was really hard for someone like me.
