I hope your sample pack arrives soon... these plants are starving for potassium

Welcome to the forum @Seniorweeder !This super helpful for "Veg" and on onward, could u "PLEASE" give me some input on proper watering for germination and early seedlings, I am having a tough time getting my Feminized Photo variety of "CB Diesel" seeds to pop? I am trying them in Coco coir cups and Peat Pellets after an 18 hour water soak, also what light times and heights for germ and seedling . Thanks you so much for your time!
I do not believe they will be shipped. I did not even receive an email to pay for shipping. Not gonna count on it really.I hope your sample pack arrives soon... these plants are starving for potassium
I don't understand the issue with the shipping... I suggest trying again. The tea recipe is for 1 gallon. After it is brewed you turn it into 2 gallons, or whatever you need to water your room.I do not believe they will be shipped. I did not even receive an email to pay for shipping.

Do you really see the issue as a Potassium deficiency? If so, I should have most of the common stuff. Seaweed extract (not kelp Meal) around 0.5-3-20. I've got FFJ. Or Just make a flowering tea like in the recipe. Can you confirm the recipe is for a 5 gallon bucket brew? I've asked several times cos the pics did not mention that.
I somehow still feel that this has to do with the overwatering I did. The deprivation of oxygen should have indirectly caused this somehow. Just don't know how. The other 3 plants have no or little such burn.
I actually have an old bag of Megacrop. Not sure if I should use it?
It's not the end of the world but am really sad about this. Its gonna bother me for a while! Hope I at least learn to not do this again, if I can't save them.
I, too cannot understand the shipping. I can actually help them sell a ton. I have access to a huge underground local growers network that buys anything I tell them to but won't go in too much details.I don't understand the issue with the shipping... I suggest trying again.

I think it is much more to do with your changes in the soil recipe and your top dressings and the huge amounts of whatever you made your last teas with. Somehow you have managed to lock out potassium. A potassium deficiency has a certain look. It does not look like watering problems. It looks to me like all of your plants are slowly getting this problem, and that means it is something in common with all of them. If the problem is a lockout, caused by too much of something sitting in the soil, Megacrop or anything else is going to have the same problem... a lockout is a lockout no matter the system.
Let's look at Mulder's Chart for possible clues:
According to the chart, to lock out K, you can have too much of one or more of the following:
Phosphate, Nitrogen, Calcium and Magnesium. If you top dressed with one or more of these, or added too much of any of these in your soil as you modified the Coots mix, it could explain the K lockout. Some of the inputs we have talked about, in the right amounts, could have caused this.
Pumpkin or squash seeds, without shell | 60 mL (1/4 cup) | 676 | mg | ||
Sunflower seeds, without shell | 60 mL (1/4 cup) | 375-393 | mg |
Thank you Stone, but it appears to be Potassium that is lacking, not Phosphorus; but I don't think it is because it is missing in the mix, I believe it has to be because N, P, Ca or Mg or any combination of them, are there in too much abundance.I don't know if this is helpful. I searched for things in the home with phosphorus in them. @Emilya do you think it's safe to dry and grind some of these for an emergency top dress?

This is what i think about the lockout.Thank you Stone, but it appears to be Potassium that is lacking, not Phosphorus; but I don't think it is because it is missing in the mix, I believe it has to be because N, P, Ca or Mg or any combination of them, are there in too much abundance.
It was in this one: Emilya's Outdoor GeoFlora Organic Auto Journal, 2020, Unknown Master's MixGood morning Emy.
Hope all is well ?
I am looking for your journal where you up potted the auto’s.
Maybe a couple months ago ?
Thank you.
Oh my head! If I could pay attention! Well you get my intentions of finding a local easy input for use. I see your reasoning and thanks for the fast fix for my mistake. Again.Thank you Stone, but it appears to be Potassium that is lacking, not Phosphorus; but I don't think it is because it is missing in the mix, I believe it has to be because N, P, Ca or Mg or any combination of them, are there in too much abundance.
