Manganese Def? :(

[RedeyeJim]

Hi all! this is my first post although been using this site for general help for a while!! i do have an issue though and i'm lead to believe this could be manganese deficiency? any help would be much appreciated!

Yup! What are you using for nutrients? Supplement with a cal/mag or cal/max, epsoms salts will also work. JAS

Thank you!! Just needed a second opinion! Using bio-grow at the moment but going into flower this week so will be using top max and bloom also..... will it matter which i use cal/mag or cal/max?

Use epsom salts. Try a tsp per gallon. It's a Mg problem not a CaMg problem. Take care.

No, not at all. I would run it in your cycle at least weekly through out flower. If your strain is showing signs before flower, you are feeding not enough or you have a strain with a monster appetite, either event a supplement will only help in this case.

Use epsom salts. Try a tsp per gallon. It's a Mg problem not a CaMg problem. Take care.

The reason I asked what nutes is that most of these formulations from all companies, if it starts to shows signs, like calcium, then the other, magnesium, won't be far behind. Its a ratio thing. JAS

agree, epsom salt (magnesium sulfate) will solve your problem and you should solve it before entering flowering, a flowering plant with issues will yield less

Thank you for the quick help!! will be out to get epsom salt asap and holding out flower until sorted!

So.... i used the epsom salts and all was fine leaves looking lush and healthy then switched over to flower....guess what?? deficiency back and the epsom salt now isnt doing the trick, have been feeding with epsom salt since previous problem and scince ive learnt bio bizz nutes lack in magnesium?! Worried i may have salt build up? maybe resulting in nute lockout.... can you overdose on epsom salts?
