i have a great Deficiencies/Toxicity chart. only it's on a word document and i'm not sure how to post it... i'll work on it a little.

(p.s. i'm not TOOOOO worried about any of these, but still like to know and improve things whenever i can)

Hell give her a good flush and let her dry out a little after that... then start back on nutes at half strength until you can work your way back up. Read your plant, don't burn it to bad.

Snip the yellow leaves, they are non functional and shading others by taking up space.

Might not be the right thing to do .... but just what what would I would do.

Keep up the good work, that really isn't that bad.

my guess.... issue 2 i'm pretty sure is nute burn. issues 1 and 3 could be either N or K deficiency. first guess would be the K


Potassium (K)
Potassium is involved in maintaining the water status of the plant and the tugor pressure of it's cells and the opening and closing of the stomata. Potassium is required in the accumulation and translocation of carbohydrates. Lack of potassium will reduce yield and quality.

- Potassium deficiency (K).
Older leaves are initially chlorotic but soon develop dark necrotic lesions (dead tissue). First apparent on the tips and margins of the leaves. Stem and branches may become weak and easily broken, the plant may also stretch. The plant will become susceptible to disease and toxicity. In addition to appearing to look like iron deficiency, the tips of the leaves curl and the edges burn and die.

Potassium - Too much sodium (Na) displaces K, causing a K deficiency. Sources of high salinity are: baking soda (sodium bicarbonate "pH-up"), too much manure, and the use of water-softening filters (which should not be used). If the problem is Na, flush the soil. K can get locked up from too much Ca or ammonium nitrogen, and possibly cold weather.
- Potassium (K) Toxicity
Usually not absorbed excessively by plants. Excess potassium can aggravate the uptake of magnesium, manganese, zinc and iron and effect the availability of calcium.

hmmm.......

greenpower, thanks, a flush is probably a good idea, but i did kind of flush yesterday (well, my version of a flush which is not really a flush, just 1/2 gallon of plain ph'ed water until run off, each plant).

and yeah i'm snipping the useless/deadish leaves unless they look like they could return :)

stoney, interesting what you say about K deficiency. my initial thought was N deficiency. but you make an interesting point... hm....

another thing i've been thinking is chloramine. this could be blocking some nutes from being absorbed. they use it instead of chlorine in my area. i was thinking of picking up some "top fin", ever heard of it?

stoney, i think you're right bro about the K... and maybe it's being caused by too many nutes in the soil, so a good flush would help, like greenpower suggests?

or possibly because chloramine in my water is blocking K absorption? wild guess...

in any case flushing with RO water sounds like the first easy step... i'll start there.. reular gallon jugs of water are usually RO'ed?

also i found this pic, but it's not labeled very well, so i'm not 100% sure which of the pics is deficiency (probably B and C) and which is toxicity (D?)...

That looks similar to the chart i have only i couldn't extract the photo... i would flush really good! i think it would be fine to use your own water.... your water hasn't hurt your other plants right?

thanks oswald, i'm not too worried, i just like to keep'em green like the pros! (c.f., stoneyluv)

yeah you're probably right, but i might just pick up some water for the flush since 'm gonna go shopping tomorrow anyway -- get some cloning gel for my tomato plant, lol that's a whole other crazy story...

got some nice shots of amnesia before the girls went to sleep, and two vids, pretty good ones if i do say so myself... :) . i'll post'em in a min.
