Adding Zinc

Discussion in 'Sick Plants and Problems' started by azuthus, Feb 21, 2009.

  1. Hi all,

    Thanks for reading my question.

    I have a Zinc deficiency and can not get my hands on any products to help this problem as I live in a small town. What I would like to know is can I buy Zinc from the local pharmacy add it to my water to help with my problem?

    Thanks in advance.

  2. What makes you think you have a zinc deficiency? These are pretty uncommon and would be difficult for even an experienced horticulturalist to diagnose. Zinc deficiencies most often occur along with maganese and iron deficiencies as a result of nute lockout caused by Ph fluctuation. I would recommend giving your plant(s) a good flush with Ph balanced water, and give it some time. The flush should help get your balance back.

    This is what my plants look like...

    This is why I say zinc deficiency. I was using a fert 18-18-21 and have stopped it now and am on my second no fert watering using distilled water. So I hoe that it will flush out any and all crap.

    Thanks for your help! If there is anything else you can think of please tell me.

    Rock on
