Phosphorus? Help please

bandit08 · May 6, 2020

Growing in coco, 2 weeks into flower.
Using canna a and b nutes and cali majic. Upto 2ml per litre a and b and 0.5ml per litre cal mag. I've been feeding high feed, low feed, high feed low feed instead of watering to run off.

Ph between 5.8-6.3 going in and 5.9-6.0 coming out.

All has been good until I noticed this last night.

Also I havent fed cal mag for the last 3 feeds.

Any advice to fix this problem please?

Be patient. Patience is a primary trait one must have when growing cannabis.

Coco likes EC consistency.
Keep you feed ec/ppm consistent.

Ph seems good. Between 5.8 and 6.3 in.

No plain water.

I feed full strength nutes til decent runoff everyday. In flower twice a day. Never had any problems other than typical light mag deficiency in mid veg

I've been going in with a lighter feed to avoid TSB. It's really hard to drain the waste away, it means taking all my plants out every night and risking the neighbours seeing my room light up. It's not ideal I know. Also I have no ec pen here so I've been relying on reading my plants alone. I've got away with until now

Do you think not keeping it consistent would cause the uptake of P to slow down? And yes I know not to feed plain water i have a pretty good understanding of how coco works. Well the basics atleast lol

Yes sir you are spot on, I have been a little anxious tonight.

Thank you all for taking your time to reply to me. I appreciate it very much

Anxiety happens with all growers, new or not. Experience is what allows us to ignore the anxiety and let the plants do what they do naturally.

That reminds me. It's 1900 hrs PST. Lights-on in my flowering tents, which means feeding time. Enjoy your evening (or whatever it is where you are

For me....
Too much K has caused P uptake issues. More common in coco.

Big swings in ph and/or ec have caused minor leaf issues, including burn symptoms.

About 14 years I've been at it on and off. I think I've been on here for 10 years now but the anxiety still gets to me sometimes. Being stuck at home doesnt help! Its late where I am. Thank you, enjoy your evening sir.

I'm done my regimen with my plants for the day, and now I'm off to let the wife medicate me with her vape and edibles while we read to each other.

We like reading aloud to one another in place of television. Since I only use my cannabis medicinally mostly, I like to tell her that I'm "too high to read", so I just lay there and listen to her read. After a while, we philosophize (if that's a real thing).

I've only fed 2ml per litre canna a and b so I dont think too much K would be my problem. But I understand cal mag can affect the uptake of K. Would that cause a problem for the uptake of P maybe? And now you mention it I have had some minor leaf issues probably from the swings in EC then. Thank you for taking the time to reply.

You may be correct. I need to readup. Excess CA can cause lockouts of p or k. I think I've made that mistake on a grow or 2. Doh.

Not familar with canna breakdown, so I'm no help there.

Sounds wonderful and that makes sense to me. Philosophy and stoned conversations are very much the same thing if you ask me. There is no better way of describing it.

I have mine on a dog crate bottom to catch runoff It’s a pain in the ass have to vacuum all the runoff twice a day but hey it’s time spent in my sanctuary. After this run Ima try and set it up so it drains itself into my sump pump drain.

If it were me, I wouldn't hinge my next move on one leaf. If your entire grow is showing those same leaf symptoms, I would agree, you're dealing with a P issue. One leaf is not enough to convince me though. Good luck.

It's only the odd leaf here and there but it's on more than 1 plant unfortunately atleast 4 of my 8 and they are all the same strain. 3/4 way up
