Possible Magnesium Deficiency

[mule420]

Stand corrected and yes I did miss that, but when I mentioned bad advice if read correct I was speaking on the sulphur.
PEACE!

It's all good! Sulphur is needed for sure! That was shitty advice! I missed that complety... Peace and puffs

I did check the roots on one, seem to be fine, white with white hairs no rot.

Question for you mule420 what is the best way to check roots in clay balls?

Also I like your clean setup you have in your album.

After monitoring the ph for last 5 hours, it has not moved. So I don't think my ph fluctuates like it used to.

So what I will do is , drain res. add more water, reduce ppm to 800.
Buy air stone to introduce oxygen to the root.

I will try this for a week or so and see what happens.

Thank you all for the great advice.

sounds like a plan, things will improve quickly!
also you dont need airstones/airpump.. a regular pump will do, using the fluming method

who is the guy that says don't worry about sulphur? Bad advice shouldn't be given, try and grow YOUR plants without sulphur and see ya results.
PEACE!

Hi marrdogg... I said don't worry about sulfur deficiency, and I have good reason to.... I never said it wasn't needed for a successful grow... I just said don't worry about it, because in most any fertilizer line up these days there is plenty sulfur available for a plant to survive.... it is probably the pH in the rootzone that is locking it out... maybe I was vague and I apologize for that

checking roots depends on the type of container your growing in, there is no need to dig around and disturb roots! One easy way is smell, your rez should smell like lettuce or a clean lake or river. Sometimes a little fishy depending on nutes. Never off putting, so no swampy, rotten egg, dirty mud puddle smells.

So if your rez smells clean the roots are probably good. Without seeing roots hanging out the container there is no easy way to check them. You have a good plan! Look into mad farmer ph down, it's a nute and lowers ph. To raise ph use silica, I use armor SI. Ph up and down are shit from most mfg. Tntlabs has a very good suggestion! Fluming works great! Good luck bud!

Good point, sulphur is in most nutes. With the newbs long hand sucks but we got to explain shit in detail! Peace and puffs

Back in the overgrow days..... I was the sick plants mentor....

One tool that I used then.....I dont know if its still there....

was a website where canna showed weed plants with the various deficiencies....

They said some interesting things about sulfur .... the yellowing appeared at the bottom of the plant.... but what they said about how much the plant needs really stuck with me....

They said it was almost impossible to give a cannabis plant a sulfur deficiency unless the medium is water....

Thats because if there is virtually any organic matter in the medium its enough to prevent the deficiency...

just sayin...

In regards to fluming, would you say having one submerged pump with tubing pointing up will suffice in a 70L 2x3 res?
