Hello, I’m very new to growing and a few videos I’ve watched using the Earth Juice Sugar Peak lineup seems to have gone fairly well but lack the information I’m needing for my research.
I’ve scoured some of these forums and am very sorry if there’s a post I’ve just missed that covered this topic already but I have a few questions about this nutrient line. My first question would be why does it seem there is very little info on these products when they seem to be very new grower friendly? They’re offering a nutrient line where it takes out the majority of the guesswork when it comes with nutrients except for one small thing.. strength.
Obviously following the general guidelines on the bottle I’ve been doing 3ml(~3/4tsp) per gallon along with 1ml of Cal-Mag (2-0-0); E.J S.P Veg. is (3-1-5)
My plants are in about a 1 gallon pot and they seem to be having some trouble. I’ve been trying to tweak my inexperienced growing techniques.
I know I may have been overwatering in the first week, 8oz of water per plant every other day, at the end of this week when my plants were at the 2nd node site developing a third I did topping on one and LST on the other and the first feeding as I was using cheap organic soil and couldn’t find any nutrient values on the bag. That first week seemed to be the best week of growth...
The following week the plants were showing signs of droopiness and that’s when I decided to back off with watering, now doing 4-6oz of water when the pots feel dry and can see the soil is dry through the drain holes. Since changing the watering though the leaves on the bottom nodes have been turning yellow and the leaves on the bottom nodes have started turning yellow at first, developing brown spots and wilting over the last week and a half. I gave them a second feeding of E.J S.P Vegetative at 5ml and Cal-Mag at 3ml yesterday and the leaves seem to have been getting greener but are still clawing..
Is this what looks like a mobile nutrient deficiency? The top nodes leaves are clawing at the tips.. I’m very confused.. Is this a nutrient deficiency or a very inexperienced growers hand caring too much for his garden?
