Hello all.
We have a plant in the 6th week of actual flower, with deficiencies.
It's actually had the same problem the entire grow. We haven't been able to fix it.
So info on the situation.
Sativa 6th week since showing pistols.
Dwc using 5g r/o in 10g res.
Ph at water change 6.2 and drifts down to 5.2
Ppm 480
2'x4'x5' tent
1 "400w" COB led and 1 "300w" led.
Water changes every 2 weeks
Temps are 70-80 with r/h 60%
Roots are healthy white and haven't had any problems.
Res temps are 68°-70°
We started grow with botanicare pure blend pro grow, bloom and pure blend tea as nutes.
Bout a month into veg we started seeing leaf margins lightening at the tips and moving back but veins and stems staying dark.
Followed by the affected leaf tips and edges turning brown and burnt looking.
We though cal/mag deficiency so upped it. That didn't solve the problem, it continued to affect more leaves.
We were told by a couple different folks that it could be our line of nutrients being close to organic in hydro and just not providing what the plant needs.
They also told us that with led's the plant uses more magnesium. And to try epsom salt.
So we mixed up 1tsp into 1 gal top off. But the plant started smelling like a fart or rotten eggs. That sulfur smell came from the leaves about 8 hours after adding the salt.
The plant didn't seems bothered by it. We left it a few days and then did a water change. We just couldn't take the smell anymore lol.
So we switched up our nutes to Botanicare KIND line. After flush from fart smell.
It's been 7 days since the switch, can't see much difference.
Other then now the canopy leaves are tacoing, lol.
Here are the pics of what we have goin on.
Any thoughts on what it might be are greatly needed and appreciated!
