Name that deficiency… for fun!

Just snapped some problematic pics for the community to practice on haha. Have at it. Photos are of two different plants.

This plant is too far behind and not going to make it through flower imo (it got a very light bloom tea today), if it doesn’t turn around within the next week I’m going to pull it from the pot just so I can check the roots and see how everything looks for future grow knowledge. It hasn’t grown or died since I flushed it almost 7 days ago. So this tea is the first nutrients it’s received. Might have root rot or be completely root bound. 3 gal pot wedding cake auto. She’s pretty big I guess so not sure but we’ll see.

I'll play along. Calcium maybe copper

I’m saying calcium or iron def. of course that’s only if the ph levels of the medium aren’t out of whack.

Not root rot or root bound

Starving

Calcium and P are my guess. PH should be between 6.6-6.8 in the medium which is Coco/Promix blend. Hoping they’re just hungry lol. If the tea does nothing I’m in trouble hahaha.

Coco will strip the ca mg out,do you feed it calmag?

I was in the beginning but when I got into overwatering issues and then got locked out due to over feeding and N excess I stopped because my calmag+ has nitrogen in it and I didn’t want to make the problem worse. I’ve been holding off on everything except great white, hydroguard, molasses, and shit like that. The tea they got this morning was
Kelp
Epson salt
Dr earth bloom
Molasses
Great white
Hydroguard
Three handfuls of EWC
And azomite, even though it prolly doesn’t break down I was hoping to maybe get some rando trace minerals out of it that may help…
PH to 6.5. And diluted to about half strength. They went dry earlier then I thought so the brew was only 12 hours. The rest of it is still brewing. 7pm will be 24 hours. I’ll pull the bag out tonight and leave it bubbling till tomorrow morning and then dilute it again and see if they may want another low dose. Or you think I should just toss it and give water after this mornings light tea?

Molasses cause more harm than good in flower

I would drop them about three weeks ago

Manganese maybe

I wanted to get a little in with some of the waterings to help get my microbial life back up to snuff after all the flushing. Might not have been needed not sure. I don’t use it every watering either just sparingly. Should I cut it out now?

Shit if its doomed anyway just mix up some fertilizer (salts) about 700 ppm and give it good feed.I think your too late for any organic.

The Strawberry Pie is throwing all kinds of deficiencies as well. The second image from up top is from the bottom to mid area of this plant. She was doing great. But now a lot of top curling and random stuff popping up. Hoping also just hungry after the flush. I flushed her before she showed as many symptoms as the wedding cake did. I MIGHT make it through with her hahah. If not it’ll be a shame as I really enjoy how the training went on her hahah. I did lower the lights on her from 24in to 16-18. Maybe she didn’t like that either haha (in addition to the flushing and over feeding that prolly wasn’t the best move). The lights are back at 24in now. I know I’m throwing too much at them lol sorry

Damn that’s a good idea. I do have the fox farm trio from my first grow?! Just follow the chart and give 1/2 strength you think? And do you think I should wait and see how the tea did or just dose them on the next watering? The tea was 1000ppm but organics so that doesn’t really say much but yeah.

When flushing use food also,straight water flush helps nothing.

Plenty people here grow organic but will add some salts here and there.Plants need a boost once in awhile.1/4-1/2 strength ish.Your case youve mixed up so much that who knows.I dont dick with teas molasses etc.. dry food ontop every week is what I do.

Ah ok cool. Yeah that’s exactly my problem I’ve caused so many random issues that I can’t find my way back hahah. Going to give the fox farm a try. Did excellent in my first grow with it in coco so hopefully all they need is some available food.

I was flushing with pure PH’d water because I needed to getall the excess out of the soil and bring the PH down. I should have given them a light feeding at the end but I was afraid to haha
