Bugs and root rot

[Mr.furley]

Get your pH right first!

 

[Deadhead91]

So should I ph it up a good bit this feed or do a full flush like 3 to 5gal of water?

 

[Paracelsus]

when you flush flush with pH water

 

[Deadhead91]

Can you explain that a little better please?

 

[Paracelsus]

Sure Deadhead91 I was meaning that if you have a pH problem your flush water should be ph adjusted in the direction you want to go

 

[Deadhead91]

Thank you and will do let you know in a couple days.

 

[Deadhead91]

[No message]

 

[Deadhead91]

Got the ph under control with the last watering and this feeding

 

[Deadhead91]

Too sugary for flash now hahaha

 

[Deadhead91]

So I'm just about out of the big bloom is it ok to substitute for the microbe brew? They both have about the same concept as plant food activator?

 

[Deadhead91]

So I've made a rookie mistake and just realized it so I've been feeding, feeding, water, but I moved up the watering schedule to about every 4 days and now I got some nutrient burn (nitrogen) any reccomendations?
I know I'm only going to feed once a week so water feed water feed water water is that a good cycle if I'm needing to water every 3 to 4 days?
I'm looking forward to this next heat wave tomorrow, it's going to get dry out again.did wonders for the trichome development last heatwave.
10ml tiger bloom
20ml big bloom
5ml grow big
5ml cal mag
2.5ml microbe brew ever 3weeks

 

[Deadhead91]

I've gotten the ph under control and even so the ph doesn't affect nitrogen or does the ph affect the roots and not the nutrients themselves?

 

[Dutchman1]

Very little nute burn. If they were mine Id pretty much ignore it. Just space out the next feeding a little longer like ya said but no loss there man.

 

[Dutchman1]

PH affects uptake of nutrients by the roots. An imbalance due to a PH problem can often result in problems in uptake of other nutrients also. That doesnt sound clear.....So for instance,If your PH is too low the plant cant access enough cal/mag ( even if you put it in ) which can prevent the plant from getting enough of other nutrients.

 

[Deadhead91]

Ok thank you I know I answered my own question but wanted to make sure and ya only a couple leaves clawed but most have burnt tips and dark green color

 

[Deadhead91]

Maybe I should just water for a little bit in case there is a build up of nutrients

 

[Mr.furley]

I agree with Dutchman 100%. I would like to add that towards the end of your plants life it is common to have deficiencies start to show up, it is a natural process and the end of your grow cycle, so don't panic when it starts at this point in the grow.
Keep your PH, nutes, and watering in check, your coming to the home stretch with some nice plants Deadhead.

 

[Dutchman1]

Well, where you feel like you had too much nutrients, skipping a feeding wont hurt. The plants will let you know if they need more of something but like Mr Furley said, your coming into the end of the grow and as senescence ( plant starts to die) increases youll start to see some leaves doing what they didnt all through the grow. Nothing to be concerned about. Your about 7 weeks into flowering now right? Youll need to stop nutrients soon anyway to flush a little.

 

[Deadhead91]

Thanks guys I just needed reassurance and I think with being a problem plant, anything that shows up I'm automatically the worst hahaha

 

[Deadhead91]

Ya I'll skip a feed or 2 just cause I over did it (fed 2x a week for the last few weeks with 1 regular watering in there every after 2 feeds
