  2. What kind of lighting are you using ? You might wanna scale back on the nuts. I'd like to know if you have any jillybean seeds to spare? But take a look at my photo this is from over nutting and not have all the tools I needed for my grow ImageUploadedByGrasscity Forum1427483356.788521.jpg

    Yellowing leaves is typically a nitrogen deficiency. However that does not necisarrily mean there is no nitrogen present. Many nutes are required in conjunction to facilitate the nutiants job ( I know I know..duu right?). Hence the term "nute lockout".

    Magnesium is the most highly used micro nutrient plant take in after N-P-K. They need a lot of it. And the yellowing of leaves that start from your plants bottom branches is a good indicator of a mg deficiency. Another sign is very thickly defined vein margins on your leaves.

    If you look at the % on the back of your bottle I'm sure you will find very little to no mg in your solution.

    A cheap, easy source of mg is 1 tblspoon of basic drug store bought (fully desolved) epson salt per 1 gl of water.

    The reason why nutes come in multiple bottles other then a 1 bottle fits all solution( other then to rape your wallet) is that some nutes if stored in a solution together will start to rot.
     
  7. I would dial back to 25% and add Epson salt to your mix. And if really worried about it do a heavy watering to flush out the old nutes with that slightly weaker solution. Ideally You want 10% runoff every watering to avoid salt buildup. If intentionally flushing I would kick that to 20-50% runoff depending on lvl of plant toxicity.
     
  8. Good looking im very new to this so thanks for advice one of many bottles like u said is this any good

    it certainly is. It will  have mg, ca, fe, and maybe trace N.
     
    Have you already been using that?
     
  10. Yes water water feed gave 1/4 two times then bumped it up to 50% no plans on going no higher
     
  11. so are you using the whole techniflora line? how many and which bottles are you using?
     
  12. Yes the whole line. Got a starter pack

  14. have you checked your water's PH?
     
  15. well for now i think your on the right track. flush hard and start again at 1/4th recommended strength.
     
    i would keep track of which bottles you use and how much/often on a piece of paper so if this doesn't clear up we can get a better idea of what your feeding.
     
  16. Thanks for the pointers u can read all the info u want but theres nothing like hands on im learning a lot

    I would say that's mostly true. I went to school for commercial Ag and am a certified greenhouse manager and all plants/crops work on similar general principles. But In my opinion the grow industry purposely confuses some things (fertilizer more then anything) to continue selling the greatly overpriced products they make.
     
    I would say the right book can do ALOT to limit ones learning curve for a specific crop. If I had to pick only 1 book on this subject it would be.

    I have given this to a few new growers and found most had pretty respectable crops within a few rounds.
     
    sorry I couldn't be of more help. keep me posted on how things progress and best of luck.
     
  18. Well thanks for sharing the trick with the epson salt i believe the yellowing has not gotten any worse and she's looking a lot happier
    I will put a pic up when i get home
     
  19. awesome! glad to hear it [​IMG]
