Another Promix-Advanced nutrient question.

[Bubba]

A few of the more advanced plants (4) were in soil, so likely low pH for them, but seems to be affecting all, just didn't look like fade

 

[Bubba]

I guess so. Didn't see that. My plants don't do that. Wonder what you are doing different than me.

One thing, I didn't know about putting perlite at bottom, don't know if that is it or not.

That is not fade. Cal/mag is certainly deficient with no more than you are adding. Looks like a combination of several things. How often do you add phosphorous and potassium?

Your problem didn't occur over night....been coming on for awhile.

 

[pute]

If you are using connoisseur a and b that should prevent it but how often do you feed and what amount per gal?

i was gonna say

me 2!

.....and two more weeks?

i am thinking about adding a line saying something about the 3-Day Dark Cycle but couldnt come up with anything

I make sure they are getting dry by feeling of weight, then water. Nutes everytime, about everyother day, sometimes less, sometimes to run off appears.

Advanced Nutrients connoisseur A+B, both veg and flower.

Also use BigBud, Nirvana, cal mag, Ancient Earth, overdrive, sensizym, and Bud Candy as directed during the cycle.

PH runs 5.9 ish

 

[pute]

I don't use Ancient Earth or sensizym. I do use Rhino Skin and B 52.....Connoisseur in flower only. To expensive to use in veg. Try Age Old Grow and Bloom. Much less expensive and works fine in veg. I also use molasses instead of Carbo Load.

 

[Bubba]

Whoops forgot about B52, also use that. I still wonder if lack of perlite at bottom played any role. Problem also occurred with 4 plants that were still in Ocean Forest.

Takeaways, be near as I can figure, shouldn't have raised ph, although problem occurred with 5.4- 5.8 nute ph. Add perlite to bottom of pots next time, add more cal mag, I guess every feeding.

Also raised lights and reduced power to about 85%. Oh well, just a couple few more weeks

Could be part of the problem. But I think it was from a lack of cal/mag. Perlite at the bottom helps keeps roots from root rot.

Missed this one, 3 teaspoons per gallon, about every other day or so. Should be about 15 ml per gallon, or a tad more.

 

[Bubba]

I put a cheap ec meter in, almost 1800 when using all the listed stuff. I just mixed a batch with 2 tsp instead of 3 per pallon, and added the calmag.

I use 7 1/2 mil/gal. Rotate water nute water nute. So the get nutes every 6 days. Thinking you are over feeding.

 

[pute]

When I give water I include molasses 1/2 tbs, cal/ mag 7 1/2 mil and Epsom salt 10 mil all per gal. All are included with nutes as well. Stick with me and I will get you dialed in counselor....

Mixing as we speak boss!!!

 

[Bubba]

Don't have molasses, what brand do you use? I assume organic of some sort. In mean time, bud candy until molasses arrives.Bubba

7.5 ml I believe is about 1 1/2 teaspoons. My cal mag is advanced nutrients as well. I do have Epsom salts for cleaning glass pipes, so good there.

Rut roh. I think I have been overnuting! I have been using 15-16 ml per gallon on the A and B nutes, and nutes every time. Add that to takeaway list. I think that may be it?

Too much nutes can cause lock outs, right?

Unsulphured Brer Rabbit but having a hard time finding it. Most any unsulphured will work. However I have been experimenting with molasses made specifically for plants. Hi Brix it is cheaper and easier to use.....you will understand if you try both.
