hmmm, could be a couple things, I've seen damage like that when the cation balance is off, usually from too much potassium from like a "flower" nutrient..Like I said my leaves are turning yellow in flower and I'm trying to figure out what the problem is can somebody please help me
ahhh i see....The only thing I was using was tiger bloom and ph water around 6.5 I'm using fox farm ocean forest with perlite and the buckets drain
leach the soil mix.The only thing I was using was tiger bloom and ph water around 6.5 I'm using fox farm ocean forest with perlite and the buckets drain
The soil is just fox farm ocean forest and I have perlite mixed with it thats it and when I make my water to water them I use 5 gallon of ph water an an plastic spoon full of the tiger bloom. The plants are autoflowers. I read that they need less nutes I'm really just trying to learn this is my first grow
ahh, ok, so does that mean you were feeding at every water prior to that?The last 2 waters have been just water I thought I might have been using too much nutes
how long have they been in the 5 gallon?I get some days where it might get 85 87 in the tent I'm in texas I got a ac window unit running to it but some times it freezes up and doesnt blow as cold. And I had no idea about the pot size I just threw them in some 5 gallon buckets from lowes lol
you should try and hit the "reply" part when responding, otherwise it won't tell me what you are saying.I've been in the 5 gallon pots from the start
Yea theres plenty of drain holes in each bucket atleast 10 in each one and I am watering every 3 days or so just when ever they seem dry no set scheduleyou should try and hit the "reply" part when responding, otherwise it won't tell me what you are saying.
soo drainage holes?
and how often were you feeding?
no not watering man, feeding.Yea theres plenty of drain holes in each bucket atleast 10 in each one and I am watering every 3 days or so just when ever they seem dry no set schedule
I was feeding then everytime I was wateringno not watering man, feeding.
how often are you feeding it the nutrients?
But the last 2 waters have been straight ph water my first thought was I was burning themno not watering man, feeding.

ahh shit..I was feeding then everytime I was watering
leaching the soil is a bit different than a normal watering thoughBut the last 2 waters have been straight ph water my first thought was I was burning them
How much water do you think I should use per pot? And thank you very much for the information your sharing.ahh shit..
well, that's the problem then
nearly 100% certain.
you want to leach the media, like yesterday
run SMALL amounts of water through it, over the course of a day, at least three separate times.
i'd do that at least one time, and it should rebound in about 48-72 hrs or so.
do NOT water large amounts all at once.
the key with leaching the media is that you want to water very slowly, making sure the water drains through the areas you are watering
reason that is crucial is that a lot of water at once tends to not only displace the aeration, but it also goes to the sides of the container first and down the sides and out the drain holes before actually soaking the soil media.
in fact i use a turkey baster for this process
small amounts of water at a time.
observe the runoff, ideally it should be lightly colored or clear, NOT like tea
but alllll that magnesium is likely the problem, a cation imbalance/issue can fuck you good..
don't ask how i know this...
leaching the soil is a bit different than a normal watering though
a leaching is essentially a "washing" of the media, and you must do it with large amounts of run-off, done slowly over the course of a day.
after all that is finished it's advised to allow the plant to drain at an angle, that will ensure you aren't leaving the soil too wet.
So lean it against something, and put it in a drain catch or plate or whatnot
after it's not dripping its a good idea to put the plant near a fan gently blowing on it to help evaporate all that massive amount of water in it
depending on ambient humidity it may be also a good idea to lightly scrape away or simply agitate the surface soil to make sure it doesn't create a surface tension issue which can happen sometimes after large amounts of water is used (due to the smaller particles in the soil restricting as they dry)
make sense?
another thing worth mentioning is that after a leaching it's not uncommon to need an application of a soluble form of nitrogen, mainly because nitrogen is easily washed away in a soil, and that's exactly what your goal is, to wash away nutrients.But the last 2 waters have been straight ph water my first thought was I was burning them
