Going great, then a nose dive...

That Kellogg's Organic Plus Fish and Kelp would be a better option.
Bought it. I watered yesterday, I'll add this tomorrow if the soil is dry enough. 1/4 strength to start every other watering? Directions say 2tbs per gallon 1-2 times a week.

It's not a synthetic fertilizer so it's not likely to cause any problems at 2 tbs per gallon. But just in case maybe start at 1/2 strength.


"All of our blended fertilizers are made with natural and organic ingredients, which typically come with a lower NPK value than synthetic fertilizers. This means the risk of burning plants is not likely."

That stuff smells like complete butthole lol. Once you mix it up it's not too bad, at least it's not powerful enough to make the tent smell. I watered last night and dont see any change yet. Hoping they start to bounce back soon.

First pic from last night, second one from right now

Its normally about 3-4 days to see improvement right? I want to wait to see of these nutes helped, I dont want to start wondering if it's not working if I didnt wait long enough. Lol

Yes it will take some time. You may not see any change in the leaves but you should stop things from getting any worse. If you were thinking the plants are just going to green up you might be disappointed. You could probably use that with each watering for awhile. Do you have a ppm meter? If so I'd be curious to see what the ppm's are. And if you think that smells, the Pump and Grow smells like a combination of vomit, dog piss, and stinky feet. :mrgreen:

Good luck

I was pretty sure it was going to take some time, and the leaves already affected wont magically go green again lol. I dont have a ppm meter, I am going to get one soon. I wanted to prove to my wife that its cheaper to grow than to go to a dispensary first, and as long as I can get 2 oz then I would have made all my money back. So after these 3 are done, im going to go a bit different route next time. Im going to get good soil, good nutes, etc from Amazon, not just what we have around here, which is nothing. We had 1 hydo shop but it closed down because covid. Im still looking at what to get for next run, but im thinking its probably just easier to follow the tried and true method - FFOF, FFLW, and FF nutes.

Another question, could it be im possibly underwatering as well? I watered last night and the very top of the soil is dry, and its not really dry an inch down, but its getting there already. I will have to water tomorrow for sure. When I watered, there also wasnt much runoff. 2 of them I watered with 2 L, and 1 of them with 1 L. The one that I watered with 1L (Green Crack) I watered with 2L before and it immediately showed signs of over watering with the leaves drooping and heavy. Right now all the leaves for all plants feel a little crispy. Im thinking maybe im not giving them enough water as well? RIght now its 2L and 1L for Green Crack every other day, or every 2nd day. Also, the leaves are looking like they are barely starting to perk back up, but looking like Mg deficiency. Kellogg's says use once a week, so the other days should I use some Epsom salt with ph'd water to try and bring the Mg up?

Pics of them perking back up and possible Mg deficiency. They definitely don't feel crispy anymore!

Just thought of this, maybe light burn? It's led but only about 12 inches away
Dont mean to keep posting... I couldn't edit. I'm thinking light issues. Thinking about it, it did start happening when I switched from 18/6 to 20/4 and they started stretching... they are about 12 inches away. I'll lst some more and see if that helps

They are all staring to look and feel much better. Leaves aren't crispy, starting to get their natural green back. Must have been a combination between light distance and nutes. Thanks everyone!
