Nutrient help? What else do I need?

[Ironmike340]

I use ro water. Add calmag till I have 250ppm. Then heavy 16 A bud and B bud.
I know they have a line up of nutrients, but I don’t need the whole lineup. I been growing this way for a year and really not much of a problem, but I notice I lose fan leafs to fast when I switch to flower. They all turn yellow and die way to fast. I believe I need some kind of boost I can add to this base? Even something I can add the veg base heavy 16 A and B. Input will help. Something I can order to introduce to help out mainly in flower?

Maybe a light compost tea or something with bit of nitro boost . Sounds like nitro deficiency of you notice it starts from the bottom up and not sure what you mean about how fast. But that's what I would guess. Once flip happens any hybrid or sativa I believe they can be very stretchy and that means to me more demand for nitrogen..this doesn't make me 100% right def get a few opinions first bro.

I am sure someone will jump in and help with more experience still a bit of noob myself .

I am moving from all the confusion of bottle nutrients to Mega Crop. Lots have had great luck using it. Pretty simple from start to finish. Search for the thread here in the forums.

Prolly too much cal/mag. The Mg fvcks with everything when there's too much in relation to Ca. There's a Ca:Mg ratio that seems to be more critical with Cannabis.

Adding Mg in my opinion is not needed.

Yellow fans after flowering starts can be normal and/or genetic. It's part of the whole.

Here's mine @ like 40ish days. Note all the yellow leaves and the old fans are falling off.

There are no deficits in my soil and I use RO water.

Are you giving bloom nutes to early if your switching at the flip it will cause that to it surprised me how much N needed in transition

 

[Ironmike340]

I flip and give veg nutes another week to introduce them of course the store wants me to buy heavy roots,fire,flush and the rest of the line at 69 bucks for 200 ml . No I don’t believe I need all that stuff.
Yes it is all fan leafs. I can water them and the next day more yellow. Then brown them fall and hit the ground. My plants finish, but feel I could do better for them. I just hung one and bud is ok. So wanted to know what I could add or do

I lose numerous fan leafs within three weeks. And have to use cal mag my ro water has nothing in it

If you are in North America, it's worth taking a look at The Mega Crop Thread. I've switched from the General Hydroponics' Flora Trio and supplements; and am a week from 12/12 for one of my plants. Several of our members have already used it from seed to harvest. It's a one part dry nutrient system, although you may need to add cal/mag with an RO water supply. The cost, well how does $33.05 for 2.5Kg sound? That one bag should be good for about 500 gallons / 2000l of water. Emilya's on the thread as well and has been convinced to give it a try for her next grow.

The Mega Crop Thread has lost of examples, and the names of the guilty.
