So I’ve been doing a lil digging, reading up on deficiencies. For a while now, before I gave them the flush, when I first started noticing problems. I truly should have listened to my gut and just transplanted them. Instead I was blind sided by the thought of them having a deficiency, and ignored the fact that I knew they needed to be uprooted, and focused on trying to curve the “deficiency”.
I was reading this morning on calcium deficiency, and I started to think (cause I’m worried about them, and they didn’t look all too happy this morning) maybe they do have a deficiency. Well maybe they do, as I was reading, everything started to kinda make sense(was still blurry, but the light was getting brighter).
There where it says roots may turn brown, so I thought back to the pictures I took of the roots, which you can clearly see some of the roots are turning brown.
There where it says, coco coir that hasn’t been supplemented with calcium or below 6.2 range.
Which I never pre-supplemented my coco before using it. Also the majority of it, is the left over/ recycled from my previous grow.
Which really had me thinking, I’ve read that you can re-use coco again for the next grow, but I never pre supplemented it with anything extra, other then my normal nutrients. That right there could be the “major” problem...
the previous grow used up the majority of nutrients leaving it too bare? So I really started to lean towards it having a calcium deficiency.
Then I searched root bound issues, it says,
That right there. The plant at the bottom of that picture is exactly what my girls are doing.![Idea :idea: :idea:](/community/styles/420style/smilies/idea.gif)
The light bulb goes off, It’s not as blurry anymore, it’s clear.
“Strange symptoms that almost look like nutrient deficiencies and/or overwatering”
I’ve experienced all of that. Yes it still may have some sort of a deficiency, As it progressed since I waited so long, but I’m thinking my problem this entire time has been the roots not being happy. Such a simple, stupid mistake. Again, these are the cards I’ve been dealt, I just need to roll with it.

Then I searched root bound issues, it says,
- Plant is getting root or nutrient problems – A cannabis plant can start showing rootor nutrient problems when it's kept in a too-small container or if it's become root-bound. These root problems can cause the plant to become droopy, or show unexpected leaf symptoms or deficiencies (such as spots or yellowing leaves). Whenever literally everything else is right but you're still experiencing these problems, it may be a sign you need to transplant.
That right there. The plant at the bottom of that picture is exactly what my girls are doing.
