You know to add 1/4 teaspoon (1.25ml) epsom salts per gallon (3.8L) of water along with the Canna flores from now on.Once a Mg deficiency occurs, it is very difficult to correct, particularly if the deficiency occurs during the mid-point in the growing season.
aHa! 2 gallons for an almost 6 feet plant while 3 gallons root space is recommended for plants of that size (1/2 gallon per foot is the rule). I think that's the reason for the premature yellowing of the fan leavesCore said:2 gallon containers .....the biggest WW plant is about 1.6 a 1.7m
and yea there buds seem verry fine ...thats 1 of the reasons i wanne save her ...my precious THC
2night i can say if it is working ot not......
http://www.icmag.com/ic/showthread.php?t=21119&page=2&pp=15does epsom salts need to be added to canna aqua flora during flower, or just veg?
both formulas benefit from adding 1/4 tsp epsom [per gallon of water] (it adds 25ppm of Mg),
the Mg level of Vega is 35ppm, the Flores is at 42ppm.. I aim for 60-70ppm of Mg...

how did you let it get that bad? your fert must have like no magniseum in it, your plants dont look like its getting enough, plants that suck there leaves dry leave a different brown tone to the leaves when they die, its like the plant sucks it and dies naturally like the corn plant does when it sucks all the nitrogen from its leaves
but ph issues when the leaves die prematurely, there colors of the leaves are a different brown color, more of a darker brown and different hues sometimes, but in this case you just are not getting enough magnesium,
have you given them any epsom salts or anything with magniseum?
here is the problem here, distilled water contains no magseium or calicum! cannabis loves magniseum and some strains are hogs and require more than some, with canna nutrients, even though they sat they are made for cannabis, they dont have enough magniseum for them so almost always you have to suppliment with some
by using distilled water you robbed your plants of more micronutrients
do not use distlled water, thats why people who do use it have cal mag RO water does the same, peple have cal mag
use tap water as long as its not soft water, like if you got a water softner, if you have one dont use tap cause sodium is bad for plants, and plants take in sodium before other nutrients
do not use that spa ph adjuster, that is not safe for plants, your better off going to the pet store and getting ph adjuster that says its safe for plants, it works well too
you also have the start of nitrogen issues, which is another reason why your problem looks funny
what soil mixture is your plants in?
and why are you using hydroton on top soil when your growing soil?
You did not mention the pk 13/14 before. Adding this to the canna nutrients will agrevate low magnesium levels in it and help bring on more of a mag deficiency. Too high a potassium level in especially canna flores to begin with.Core said:i use canna vega, flores also pk 13/14 and enzymes from canna No additives...this run for soil i use canna professional or plagron light mix...no add to soil also....
