one question

[SomBud]

where can I get chelated manganese at ?? thanks

 

[sproutco]

Why do you need chelated manganese? Of all the micros that can be chelated, manganese does not chelate well. Probably get just as good results with manganese sulfate. Got mn deficiency?

I think I have a manganese deficincy . what should I use.

Are you sure? Describe what the plants look like. Where are the leaves yellowing on the plant? Post complete details of your grow. Add pictures if you can. Mn is taken up by plants very easily so deficiency is unlikely compared to other micros.

I'm back

I'm back

I'm growing in soil about 3 weeks in to flowering use earth juice grow in veg. then alaska morbloom & superthrive in flower

Looks more like potassium deficiency. Are you adding alot of phosphorus? Is there potassium in your ferts? Is the ph high?

Symptoms of phosphorus excess:

General yellowing of leaves, older leaf tips and margins later becoming yellowish or brownish followed by necrotic spots; leaf abscission develops (similar to potassium deficiency in some plants and nitrogen excess in others)

Is the newest growth affected? This would be where manganese and other nutrients would be a shortage. I dont think your is. Looks like older fan leaves are being affected.

ok the morbloom is 0-10-10 with available phosphate 10.0% the earth juice is 2-1-1 available phosphate 1.0% the ph. is 6.8 thanks again. yes the older leaves not new ones

 

[sproutco]

How much ferts are you using compared to what the directions say on the package? Especially the 0-10-10...

 

[SomBud]

Well it looks most all the leaves are affected now .I though I had a nitrogen deficiency and added some earth juice grow because alot of the bottom leaves where turning yellow do you think I shoud flush out everything .

???

 

[SomBud]

about every two weeks like the directions say one table spoon per gal and I water till it drips out the bottom

 

[sproutco]

Bet it's phosphorus excess then. Phosphorus does not leach out of the soil very much once applied. It builds up more and more. Discontinue phosphorus applications till the soil "cools" out. Include all other nutrients. The 0-10-10 is a powder right?

 

[SomBud]

Thanks Sproutco for all your help!! No it is not powder

Were just doing some guessing. Sure does look like potassium deficiency but your adding alot.
