My question is how to deal with this in the most optimal way how do I feed them so they will not have these problems and how long will it take for them to get the proper color.
I would also like to add that they seem yo be flowering very very slowly it has been like 3weeks to a month since they went into flower and all i still have are only white pistils no bud formation. They are in quite a hot environment 27-32C (nothing much I can do about that)
In using mars hydro 150w fs lights and they are about 30cm from the plants.
I use this bio fertilizer
Can you dial the light intensity down to alleviate some of the high temps? Some of the bleaching color on leaves could be from the extra heat and with 4 lights overhead that will certainly produce it.
I was leaning towards a potassium deficiency for the spotting. Now I’m thinking phosphorus. Yellowing can be a variety of things.
One thing is for sure…you should be lowering nitrogen in flower and/or upping phosphorus significantly. That feed doesnt appear to be on the correct side of that scale.
I’ll let you be the judge. GWE is a great resource, and the only site I used before becoming a part of Overgrow.
Here’s some links:
Are there any minor elements in your Bio-Grow fertilizer? Your plants look hungry; possibly Magnesium.
AI sez:
While Bio-Grow fertilizer is primarily designed for the vegetative stage of cannabis growth, it can still be used in the flowering stage in conjunction with other flowering-specific nutrients. Bio-Grow is known for providing a good source of nitrogen, which is important for overall plant health and development, even during flowering. However, it’s crucial to supplement it with nutrients that are higher in phosphorus and potassium, which are essential for flower development and bud production.
Bio-Grow is a base fertilizer with a focus on providing nitrogen for vegetative growth, but it also contains other beneficial components like organic matter and enzymatic activators that can still be helpful during flowering. * Nutrient Needs Shift:
.
As cannabis plants transition into the flowering stage, their nutrient requirements change. They need more phosphorus and potassium to support bud development and less nitrogen. * Supplementing Bio-Grow:
.
To optimize flowering, it’s recommended to use Bio-Grow alongside a flowering-specific fertilizer like Bio-Bloom. Bio-Bloom is specifically formulated to provide the necessary phosphorus, potassium, and other nutrients for flowering. * Benefits of Using Bio-Grow:
.
Even during flowering, Bio-Grow can contribute to overall plant health by providing a source of nitrogen and supporting beneficial soil bacteria, which can improve nutrient uptake. * ConsiderBiobizz Nutrient Schedule:
.
Biobizz offers a complete nutrient schedule that includes Bio-Grow, Bio-Bloom, and other additives like Top Max, which can be followed for optimal results
Hmm i think maybe i even overdid the dry cycles, i left em dry for 2-4 days in a row now im doing 1-2 days so basically water them wait until the soil is dry wait a day or 2 and water them again. If you see anything wrong im my actions pleas tell me hah.
When it comes to the root breathing well, well im gonna be honest i have no clue how to even check/repair that
We need more info to be accurate. Is that a coco perlite mix? What manufacturer and specific type? What is your mix ratios for watering? How much of Bio Fiz and water are you mixing? Are you adding anything else ? Are you adjusting the PH ? If so with what product ? Looks like the plant is not using the available nitrogen so it lends to a potential PH issue or possibly a mobile nutrient potentially lack of calcium (cal mag) especially in certain types of coco they love cal mag… You will definitely need to add a bloom nutrient as recommended above and by the manufacturer. I’m sure you’ll get dialed in quick if you can answer some more questions… Cheers !!!
Okay i use Plagron Lightmix 50L i cannot find what its made of it states it has perlite in it and some fibers.
Nope im doing nothing with ph, i just let the water sit in a 20L bucket for a few days so the clorium evaporates from it.
I use 3-4mll of bio fiz on 1L of watter and nothing else.
All kidding aside, @BTYGMO is spot on. You really need to keep the pH in line. From experience, you can let it run with no pHing for a little while, but that shit will catch up to you quick and multiple problems will present themselves.
Damn okay il measure and fix my water up from now on, get flowering fertiliser and lower the light intensity by a little bit.
I think that covers all bases for now.
Its been stated already. Your medium most likely has salt build ups, and ph is probably too acidic. It needs a soft flush, then feed.
I grow in Black Gold, which is primarily peat moss. I dont use liquid fertilizers for this very reason. It always causes ph issues in peat based mediums.
I mix dry amendments into peat based potting soil. Its the easiest way to prevent ph issues. I never ph my water and its always around 7.5. Ive found that watering with ph 7-7.5 works better when growing in peat moss, because peat moss is naturally acidic.
You need to start watering every day you are running in Coco, which is more like hydroponics than soil . PH all water to 5.8 and coco loves cal mag I think I read somewhere that the calcium on that particular brand is hard to absorb… Cheers @tresbundles I was trying to figure out the riddle you had above lol
