Desperate Need Of Some Help

[Roy Growin]

Thanks for that, hopefully the flush will give it a reset and try to get in 5 per litre. I have bio bloom and and top max, are you suggesting only these 2 from now till flowering and beyond?

Yes

Something basic is still off here. Are you adjusting your pH as a final step immediately before applying the fluid to your soil, after having added everything you are going to add?

Hi, yes, I have to up it to 6.3, more or less as after adding nutes it was a bit over 5.2

 

[Emilya Green]

and the same when you do a water only pass? You pH down to get it also to 6.3?

Yes, my water is always checked

 

[Emilya Green]

alright, lets drill down on the nutrients then. It looks like you are not getting enough N and K. How could this be? Are your feeding dosages taken from the official feeding chart from your nutrient line and now at full strength?

After looking at the feeding chart, I have to agree that you are using too much of your nutrient, and possibly not using the correct mix. Are you using bio grow? It appears to be part of your base mix and needs to be used all through the grow. Bio-bloom and top max should not be used until bloom has started. Heaven and Vera look like they can be used all through the grow.

Thanks for keep up the thread, I appreciate everyone's patience. 1 week today since flushing and now ready to be watered again. I'm getting close to blooming and I don't want to f this up. Tall one worse than the other. Here are some photos...

I think the best thing you can do, Steve, is keep it watered and leave it alone
Cut off any dead crap and wait for new growth

Hello, I live in south of Spain and we are experiencing a serious heat wave; it was 38 today and forecast for 43 tomorrow. I'm a new grower and don't really know what it is that I'm doing wrong. I'm hoping that some of the experienced growers out there can help me with my pathetic specimens! These were planted late April and started off very well. They seem to have stopped growing and have lost many of the leaves. I think I burned them with too much nitrogen. I flushed them and didn't add any for about 2 weeks or so. I reintroduced it on a much smaller scale (I use Biobizz Fishmix with 5 N, I had been using 10 N and about 2.5 ml per liter) I went back to the Fishmix, but almost immediately saw signs of burning again. I again flush them and the attached photos show where I'm at today (31 July). They are pretty short and don't seem to be growing at all. They are all around 70 cm, or just over 2 feet. They are not looking great and will probably start to flower in a few weeks. I'd like to salvage them if I could and get something out of them. I adjust my hard water (8+) down to 6.80-7.00. although I have tested water overflow and it's sometimes less than 6.00, 5.95 or so. Any help would be greatly appreciated. P.S. The black electrical tape was a repair job after a fall in a wind storm that broke the stem in 3 places.

Looks like a cal-mag issue. Give your girls a few tsp of Cal Mag and they should clear up.

Thanks for that, ml per litre of water?

Thanks, just water?

 

[Joshualuck]

Thanks for that, ml per litre of water?

I use 5ml per gal

 

[steveinspain]

I use 5ml per gal

Thanks, do you add 5hat each watering or every other?

1ml/L is more accurate, with every watering
If you got any Vera/Alga/Heaven it will help the plant to recover from stress

 

[steveinspain]

Thanks, I use Vera (3ml per litre), alga (3ml per litre) and heaven (5ml per litre), but every other watering. I've just added a lower dose of fishmix in the first watering after the flush. I used 2ml per litre and I don't know if that's too little. I've started adding cal mag but again every other watering. Perhaps my dosages are wrong. The problem is with BioBizz that dosages are always between 2 numbers, for example between 2-5, and their chart is not so clear either...

I give it as it's needed

BioBiz chart - I know, stick to the lower end of the scale
When using a combination of products try to limit their combined concentration to 5-10ml/L max
So veg 3ml Grow, 2ml Vera/Heaven, 1ml CaMg
Bloom 3ml Bloom, 1ml Gro, 2ml Heaven/Vera, 1ml CaMg
If you follow the chart it suggests you add 20-25ml of gunk by the end of it, then flush it all out again which is totally unnecessary

Thanks, I'll try that. I've been using fishmix as the chart says to switch to grow once flowering has started...
