Take the picture of them with the HPS light off; I need to see the color of the plants.

When you say 90% and all the rest of the %'s how much? Because the % does not tell me much of how much mixture is water and nutrients.

no wonder your plant is not showing as badly nute burn. She also looks pot bound.. what size pot is that plant in? how tall are these plants?
You should have a 12 in tall plant to a gallon size pot MINIMUM. You should not be watering every day unless she is rootbound or you are not watering much. She would be nearly drowned by now, but if you need to water that much then she is rootbound and would explain why she is not showing over watering as bad and dude depending on your soil mixture you should be using that much nutrients period.

1 or 2 tsp per gallon is plenty but you are locking out nutrients man. 1 tsp per gallon would work weekly. Most of the time you should not listen to the directions on the back unless made specific for cannabis, most of the time it's directions for hydroponics not to mention it's strong for cannabis.



WHat soil mixture are you using?

What is the reason for that sings on my plants? Too small pots?
Then only one day on week feeding and other days water?
Are 6.5l pots good for my clones? Soil humovit (80% different soil, 20% perlite).
I give on day 0.3l water on 6.5l pots.

Thanks for the info MnStitch...I've only been able to find soil testers. I read that they're not too reliable, may have to check online as I live in the boonies. Now that you mention it, I think I remember reading advice against thrive alive in another post. Are you suggesting I ditch boost as well? I just mixed a gallon of nutes with boost and grow but I'll happily dump it if necessary. Thanks again.


I would transplant into a better more airy soil and a bigger pot.

Disco since you mixed it go ahead and use it, don't waste it but just be careful using it... how much did you mix in with the grow with how much water?

Ya, I did mean root bound..... pot bound lol.

hello stitch, I never did find any ph strips so I switched from local spring water to town water. I let the a container of the town water sit for several days without the lid to evaporate the chlorine. I've used town water in the last several grows with little or no problem. I picked up some perlite and transplanted to bigger pots, thanks for the tip. I'm mixing the grow & boost nutes half strength per gallon according to the instructions. Those are some awesome grow photos you have there. As for that big mouth bud of your's, I'd like to ......oh well, I'd better keep my duck bill shut. Have a nice weekend Stitch.

Warlock, read my post 3 before this one... I told you what is wrong. You are feeding and watering to much you are ,locking out magniseum and the last pic you posted you are now starting to lock out Zinc. FLush your plants and only feed weekly you are feeding like 2 or 3 times a week man.

Not to mention you are using a strong dose per feeding.

Stop feeding so much feed like 1 tsp per gallon, do not water every other day.

MnStitch....I finally picked up a ph tester; a test tube, test drops and a color chart to compare results. The underground spring water tested 6.0 or lower, the scale only reads as low as 6.0. Town water tested 7.0 so I guess I'll be using this for now. Thanks for your help.

Zinc is not able to translocate in the plant.....

Consequently the pics would be wrong..... for zinc def...

In these pics the tips are light the inner leaf green.....


It simply shouldnt work this way......


Its most likely these tips werent made this way.....

That the material in the tips has been translocated.......

Pot bound is a perfectly acceptable term....


Google it.....

I am talking about the 2nd to last plant.... the ones where the leaves tips are lighter green and are following around the shape of the leaves; I have always seen when this happens always is the start of a zinc issue...... He was also throwing all kinds of nutrients like every watering too at his plants... I told him about it being root bound already.....

He keeps asking the same thing over when I told him what was wrong :)

Yes, I know zinc does not move around the plant.. once it affects a certain area it stays there does not move from leaves to leaves

:wave: Hi Stitch, i got a little prolem & i thaught u might help me figuer it out, i have one of my 5 girls always looked a little different from the others, she grew abit stretchy & thin stature althaugh treated the same, but thats not bodering me alot to be honest. What started showing these last 2-3 days is bodering me abit... here's the info...
Mix:
Organic Soilless mix 'Potgrond' potting Substrate made in Holland.
ph value: 5-7.
Organic matter: min 75%-99%.
Moisture content: max 65%.
added 20% perlite. a cup full 'Fish blood & bone',some sulphate of Iron & half a cup bone meal by its self. Also 10 % building sand. sorry wasn't much accurate but this was my first mix.

Pots:
1gal Growbags.

Strain:
Aurora Indica 5 girls at 33 days flowering & 75 days from sprout, gave them 39days veg. Both veg & flowering period under a 400w MH maybe 10 inches away. I water them evry 3 days with biobizz nutes each time, during veg i gave 1ml per liter tapwater (after leaving it for a day). I adjust the correct ph around 6.5 with those colour test kits. The soilless mix's ph (says on the bag) 5-7 but i always correct it & sometimes check run off. Now during their flowering i started giving them 1ml per litler bio-bloom & 1ml topmax per leter & i'm workin my way up like the chart says. Now at 33days flowering today i gave still 1ml grow,2ml bloom & 2ml topmax per liter. Temps adjusted with a/c 74-75f .
Not all of them look stretched &buds r packin up nicely but this is what i wanted u to see... don't know what it is never had this issue.








But just the weak thin one is showing this, the others r fine...








The one on the front right... If the growbags can cause this, why not all ? Tell me if i missed something from the info...
