smoking and usage

I have been having some problems with a plant and it looks exactly like the pic on THIS page regarding Boron Def.

It says eyewash can be used as it contains boric acid....

But how exactly should i give it to plant ?

Thanks

We need all the info on your grow including
What type of soil
What type of lights?
What, how much and when was it fed?
What is the soil/runoff pH?
What are the temps and humidity in the room?
What size pots?

Boron deficiency is very rare I have never seen it here on the board that I can remember.

Hi,
Indoor plant compost with 30% perlite
400w HPS
Fed Biocanna Vega (3.5-1.0-5.5) during veg
Fed Biocanna flores (2.5-2.0-5.0) during 12/12,, has been in 12/12 since 23rd Feb
Last soil run-off was 6.7 that was 10 days ago,, will do another 2nite
Temps are 75-80f (lights on) --- 60-68f (lights out)
Pots are 25cm diameter and hold about 3ltrs.

Heres some pics.

Any advice appreciated !!!!

In my oppinion thats either a phosphate deficiency or your lights are to close... probably both

Thanks for the reply buddy....
I really dont think its the lights.... but possibly Phosphate ?

I just thought it was Boron Def as it looks very similar to the pic in the link.

How would i correct phosphate ?

Almost looks like light burn as well
Do those nutes not have boron? almost looks like boron deficiency the question is why

i have chopped most affected areas off..... will keep a check on her and post more pics here over next couple of days.

Thanks

I think the buds have stopped maturing.... just don't look right...have flushed and added nutes with Boric acic... will give it a few days and report back

SmknVTEC · #11 (**permalink**) 03-20-2008, 11:26 PM

I guess those nutes don't have boron in them?
Chopping off effected leaves obviously won't solve the problem.
Let us know.

FrostAie · #12 (**permalink**) 03-20-2008, 11:28 PM

how big are your pots maybe the roots are out of space I dont really know

blanchdave · #13 (**permalink**) 03-20-2008, 11:47 PM
