you left out soils ph...and i think your soil composition is regarded soilless..so ph should be lower then soil...but wait for more repley's..im not 100% shure on that...
You did not mention dolomite lime. Those ferts have little calcium and magnesium. When you get your ph meter, report the results.
How to test soil ph: After watering/ferting well till runoff, wait 30 minutes. Then apply a small amount of distilled water to the pot. You want about 1 ounce of runoff. Catch this on a plate. Test ph.
If you got money get a ph tester; if you don't have much ph test strips will do.
Yes if you went by fox farms feeding directions on the back of the bottle you would get burnt plants.
I use no more than 1/2 teaspoon per gallon when I use there products because it's strong; not to mention I had additives to my soil like you have which makes it worse to use ther directions.
How often are you feeding your plants; overall your plants look hungry to me with a slight ph issue......
more over your plants look hungry to me first check the ph though cause if there is nutrients in there and if the ph is off then the plant will not absorb certain nutrients right depending on ph.
So fix ph first then feed later
I would start feeding your plants 1/2 teaspoon of fox farm weekly but don't use both at the same time pick one or the other.
those are some great pictures, Bearfootlove!! The composition is awesome, especially the 2nd & 4th pics! The last one has a major surreal look going for it. Sorry I just had to comment on your picture taking abilities. I agree with everyone else here that you should check your PH & go from there.
Ya wal mart has them or a pet store or pool supply store they all have the test strips.
Also your soil mixture is no good tree and shrub soil is rich and it's way to strong for cannabis which is why you were getting burned plants when you fed them
Trees tend to like acidic soil so I am sure the ph may be off a bit.....
Also the water sofnter water; good thing you stopped using it because sodium is absorbed before any other nutrient in cannabis plants and other kinds of plants. Sodium will cause a wall and will not allow other nutrients to be absorbed and will cause crispy brown leave to curl upwards
also magniseum and nitrogen are the first to show from sodium issues.
I think that's a pretty good pH Bear. Others will probably chime in, but IMO, a cheap solution would be to water w/epsom salts. There's usually recommedations right on the package on how much to use for container plants.
Y our problem is starting to look more and more like a calicum deficiency there, the copper spotting are on the leaf edges just like the calcium defiency starts then moves inwards to the leaves and also starts on newer growths but then can go anywhere on the plant
WHat water are you using to water your plants with? and since you are not using any micronutrients in your feeding that about sums it up there......
get some dolomite lime into that plant; not only will it fix ph issues but it's got good levels of magniseum and high levels of calicum.
Get some micros into that plant!
I would get my hands on some earthjuice microblast; will do ya some good, use 2 tsp per gallon every 2 weeks; if you decide to get it use it 2 times once a week and then after 2 weeks of using it stop and wait 2 weeks to use it; since it is low now you want to give it a good dose but not real strong which is why I gave you the feeding schdule to use.
i think i know what the prob could be?....but i'm only chucking my !! here so do go do anything before you know if is good info ok?...
i woz reading the compostion of your soil...
2 parts peat moss
1 part perlite
2 parts agway tree and shrub soil
1.5 parts agway potting soil (no nutes)
i think this is a soilless composition?? and ph should be lower then just soil...
and the ph you took is about 6.6...now if it is soilless you need 2 lower ph to about 5.8 - 6.2...
so you'll have 2 ask around just 2 be shure what ph you should use...i'm not realy a soilexpert....hope my will help
Well, on the bright side, you don't look like you have too much longer to go and the buds look very nice and tasty. At least much of the chlorophyl will be gone. But I know your concern.
As far as Tiger Bloom/Big Bloom, I don't think I have ever had problems... I love Tiger Bloom.
Hope it works out for the best, looks like you'll be happy.
I can't really help, but I've noticed with my grows that the leaves get all sorts of wonky when I start flowering. I don't worry about it, since the plant is devoting it's energy to the buds rather than foilage (lack of N). Did you try some finely ground eggshells for Calcium? No idea how much...
