I just brought this girl in from outdoors, i had to transplant because it went out extremely late(as an experiment : last week of july) and we had a severe frost/freeze a week ago. Shes in a good homemade mix of promix,perlite,vermiculite,worm castings, I say a "good mix" because i have a cab full and this is the only one showing any syptoms of a problem. it is only on the lowest leaf- if you look close you can see holes from caterpillers- this isn't what alarms me because now there are no bugs as it is indoors. When i first brought her in i didn't notice any spots on the leaf, O, it is now in a veg box under 18/6 revegging. Could this damage just be from the transplant/reveg stress or is it something more severe? I don't currently have a pH pen but i know the local water has a decent pH. i let the H2O sit out for 48 hours before using. All i have for ferts right now is "Schultz plant food plus" liquid concentrate (10-15-10). I use it at1/2 strength every other watering and 1 TBSP of molasses/gallon when its water only.Does she need mor nitrogen because of the ReVeg? I'm going to the local garden center that has a good selection of organic fertilizers and raw mix ingrediants; I'm planning on getting some Bat Guano, SeaKelp powder and hopefully some fish emulshion aswell. Since the plant is stalled out cause of ReVeg i dont know if i shouldn't be given her any Nutes or what the problem is. It is isolated to only 1 of the lowest fanLeaves, all of the rest of the plant isn't showing any signs of a problem. I don't know if it was caused by the conditions outside or after i moved her inside. If anyone has any suggestions that would be awesome, I'll wait to buy all the Ferts untill i hear any advice. Thanks everyone PeAce proTeus This is what she looks like: The first two are of the affected Fan Leaf, the second two are of the plant as a whole, the leaf is on the backside and is un noticable in the bigger pictures. I've been looking through defencies and other problems, the only pic i saw that even came close was one of a magnesium deficency, but since it is isolated to only one leaf i am completely puzzeld, i have no friggin clue
Schultz is jus.. bad lol. personally id recommend flora nova bloom, but many work. you really have nothing to worry about. plants tend to sacrifice leaves from time to time and generally they die from the bottom first. unless a specific deficiency does its work from the top down. that indeed is magnesium def and id recommend upping the amount of food ( the RIGHT FOOD, not Schultz lol) and also getting at least some ph dip stick things. you need to know the ph. keep it around 6.5-6.7
i kinow schultz is junk, its for my houseplants but for the past week it was all i had, im going to go get some sort of organic fert today, im thinking one high in nitrogen because i am revegging the plant for at least another month. or should i get some bloom nutes or just some good Veg nutes with Micro/trace elements. thanks for the help I really am not sure what would be the best fertilizer for this plant in reveg stress. Thanks again peace proTeus
Should i really give her Bloom Nutes? She is in my veg box because my others are just seedlings (under a foot) so im not just going to flower her by itself, because i have a 1000W HPS, huge waste of power for a single plant. i need to wait for my other babes to get bigger. Shes been inside ReVeging for a week, and is still stalled out. So im not sure what would be the best fertilizer for reveg stress, i dont know if i should be giving her anything at all. Thanks peace ProTeuS
With flora nova series I'd recommend the bloom formula, cuz there is little difference between bloom and grow, but other nutes will be different. I don't know first hand about revegging, I've always just taken clones, but ideally you should lower nute ppm in states of stress. So yeah, jus get a new organic fertalizer with more nitrogen, start out in low doses and up it if you don't see signs of more stress. Give it a week or two and you should see new growth. Good luck.
I just got back from the grow shop; I picked up some: Dr Earth's Bat Guano W/ Prebiotics (9-3-1), Neptunes Harvest Fish/Seaweed Emulshion(2-3-1) and some "Espoma" Bio-Tone Starter Microbial Plant food(3-0-0), just beneficial microbes and nitrogen. Says it will help with transplant stress and root growth/bigger yields. All Natural Organic Plant Food with Bio-tone Microbes - what i got is a differnt formula, i dont know if its old or why its not on their website. But hopefully some of all three will help out the reveg stress, and completely replace the schultz shit. So this will eep the girls happy at least till flower time. Let me know if this should help, i still need to get some epsom salts just in case if it is a Mg deficency, then again i need to see if there is Mg in what i just got. Thanks for the help peAce ProTeuS
