Hello everyone,

I stumbled upon this awesome resource. I am new to growing and use this medicine for my PTSD and insomnia. I am using an indoor and outdoor grow set up. I noticed a nuk deficiency and would like your assistance to learn more about it. I am flushing but I am not sure if this will help.

Looks like potassium deficiency to me.

@Johnhenry420 to the forum
you got it Tyson. Look in my signature for plant abuse chart and try to compare your picture with the once in the thread. Also, don't flush

Welcome to the forum @Johnhenry420

I think @TysonOG hit the nail on the head but I would still like to know what medium you're in, your water/feed schedule, are they autos or photos.
A "P" def can present itself if there's too much humidity, or if condensation is building in the tent when lights are out.

And what are you flushing? Just your toilet I hope. Plants don't need flushing it's a myth, you can't flush out old or unused nutrients from the plants, the only thing it does is stress them. They will only use what they need, and just like us, the rest is waste, hence flushing your toilet

And no need to check run-off unless you have a severe deficiency

Welcome Johnhenry, you're in good hands!

A potassium deficiency doesnt necessarily mean your soil doesnt have potassium, it means your plant isn't getting enough. It could be that there's not enough in the soil, it could also be a ph lockout issue. I've found most of the time it is the 2nd but normally you would see other nutrient deficiencies present. What is your nute lineup?

Thank you for helping.

Thanks for the insight. I am using soil since it’s my first time. This is a northern lights photo period plant. I am have attached my temp and humidity for the previous month. I water with nutrients once a week using fox farm nuks. Then every 3 days unless the soil is dry with phD water.

I was using distilled water at first with the nuks which looked bring the ph into the right range of 6 to 6.5 but I did use tap water for the in between watering. I just started ph’ing the water a couple weeks ago when I saw the issue.

Thanks for your help.

What type of soil...Fox Farms, Pro Mix, Miracle Grow???

Distilled water isn't really good for your plants in soil, it doesn't have the macro nutrients that "tap" water has, I use nothing but my tap water, and I don't PH at all I'm also in Fox Farms Ocean Forest soil, and it buffers the PH when you water or feed

 

[Johnhenry420]

I am using miracle grow soil I will try the fox farm soil for the next run.

If you correct the potassium problem will the symptoms of yellowing tips go away?
