hey there everyone!
so were starting week 6 of flowering. im having some issues here.
i already opened up a thread for this in diagnosing sikck plants in the sick plant section. but i figured i would copy/paste it here to my journal also.
ive been following bio bizzs advice, that instead of using calmag (because im using LEDS), they told me to gradually up the amount of the BIOGROW nute (not the flowering nute), graudally during flower, till about 10ml per litre (instead of the usual 4-5).
ive been doing that, and am just starting to notice problems now. im thinking maybe it might have to do with that and ive been overnuting my plants. or perhpaps its not helpign what im doing, and i need calmag?
SO HERES A COPY OF THAT POST>
its important that i mention this:
in the beggining of the grow, i considered getting CALMAG since im using LEDS. i emailed BIOBIZZ and asked them if its nescesary to use CALMAG while using their nutes.
they told me that BIOBIZZ biogrow has sufficient calcium and magnesium, and that LED growing in general needs more nutes, and not just more calmag only.
they reccomended me, that instead of using calmag, that i stick to their nutes, and just add more BIOGROW than in the grow chart. (they told me to only add additional biogrow (not the flowering nutes of theires, since their set consits of three different bottles, so they didnt just tell me to add more of everything)
for example, the reccomended schedule during flower is around 4ml biogro per litre of water. they told me that i should gradually up the amount to 10ml biogrow per litre, while watching to see hwo the plants react. and that should make up for the extra nutes that LED requires.
so ive been doing this gradually week by week. im currently at about 8ML biogrow per litre of water (instead of the reccomended 4), and i think that maybe these problems im seeing now might actually be because of teh extra nutes....
if so, what should i do? go back to the regular amount of nutes, and get CALMAG instead?
im in the begining of week 6 of flowering. and im starting to notice signs of what might look to me (first time grower) like magnesium defficiancy maybe?
however things get difficult, because the two plants on the sides show the same signs. while the plant in the middle shows different sings....
-the two plants on the sides both show these gold colored lines or splotches. and burnt tips, and the leaves overall are a slightly lighter green color than the middle plant.
-the middle plant is a darker green color, and doesnt have any of the gold colored splotches or burnt tips. but im concerned maybe with the light green line through the mdidle of the leaves. or maybe its normal?
in any case. heres a bunch of pics.
PIC OF CANOPY FROM ON TOP. to see difference in colors:
heres an overall pic of the canopy. u can see how its lighter green on the two opposite sides. those are the two strains that are getting the lighter green color, and splotches
heres some pics closer up, where u can see the color difference in the strains better.
HERES DIFFERENT PICS OF THE LEAVES OF THE STRAINS THAT HAVE THE LIGHTER LEAF COLOR AND SPLOTCHING:
AND HERES A PIC OF THE STRAIN IN THE MIDDLE THAT HAS A DARKER LEAF COLOR AND NO SPLOTCHING:
HERES JUST A NICE BUD SHOT
SO i guess that the main question is:
IS this a result of too much feeding, and are my plants suffering from nute poisoning?
OR
Is the plan of biobizz not working of increasing biogrow, and are the plants showing a nute defficiency, and should i just go out and buy some CALMAG
what dyall think? thnks
