Why do so many Def look the same?

Hi peeps, been looking around the Forum and other Forums and Googled it..but still not 100% sure "and before you say use the Search Bar" it's crap!!

So to the problem: I've got 2x White Widow X Skunk#1 these are 9wks into Veg and in 3L Air-Pots with a 30-40% Perlite/ 60-70% Soil and 3cm Layer of Clay Pebbles in the bottom of Pot.

Here's a few Pics -











I've given them a weak solution of Epsom Salts...but few days later don't look any better?

Any advice be Great...looking at the last picture I'm thinking Zinc now?.....

Peace

Misdiagnoses are just rampant on the internet.

Chlorosis may be symptom of a few deficiencies but you can rule out some by noting where on the plant the symptoms show first. A yellow leaf can mean a lot of things but a yellow older fan leaf appearing when a grower switches to "bloom" nutrients narrows the problem down to a probable N deficiency.

You need to put together as much info as you can to determine the problem. Proper diagnosis cant be done properly simply by looking at a picture of a leaf.

If you go to the doctor and say, "I have a headache" he doesn't assume it is anything until he reviews your medical history, any recent incidents or changes, medicines, foods, other symptoms etc.

A headache can be nothing to worry about, it can be an inoperable brain tumor or a number of things in between.

and epsom salts are used to treat mag deficiency. Did you have a mag deficiency?

Adding things unnecessarily, especially salts, can lead to compounding problems.

I can tell you that it is probably not zinc.

What is your environment like?

Temps/humidity, pH levels of nutrient solution, watering frequency, water source?

I see a few things but it is not helpful to guess without more info.

9 weeks veg in 3-L pots?!?!??! Plus an extra couple inches of wasted space at the bottom (which doesn't actually help drainage)... That's 99.99% sure the root of your problem right there (pun partially intended). By 9 weeks old, my plants are in at least 7 gallons of soil.

Give those poor things some leg room!!!

When the roots get cramped like that, the plants start showing all kinds of deficiencies. You can either chase your tail trying to pinpoint each of those deficiencies (likely causing even more problems), or you can transplant those poor things into AT LEAST 5 gallon pots of well balanced soil and watch them rebound within a day or two.

Good luck!

Going to use some this in Foliar Feed :-

Alg·A·Mic™ can also be used as a foliarspray on the leaves of the plant. When you bring Alg·A·Mic™ directly on the leaf, the product increases even more the absorption of chlorophyll. The result is a very green plant. Mix Alg·A·Mic™ with 1-2mL per liter, and add this mix 2-3 times per week. Spray when lights are switched off/do not spray when plants are in full sunshine.

Alg·A·Mic™ destresses the plant after overfeeding, deficiencies, plant diseases or after temperature differences. A stress-free plant results in larger fruits. Besides, Alg·A·Mic™ ensures green leaves, by stimulating the absorption of chlorophyll.


How to use Alg·A·Mic™
Alg·A·Mic™ contains a low level of NPK, therefore it is impossible to create an Alg·A·Mic™ overdose. Alg·A·Mic™ can be used on every substrate, during the flowering- and growing period. Biobizz advises a dose of 1-4ml per liter water. Follow our grow schedule for the best results.


Seawead extracts in Alg·A·Mic™
Alg·A·Mic™ is a revitalizing product made from a high grade, organic seaweed concentrate extracted through cold pressing rather than chemical solvents. It contains a high level of natural nutrition that caters to the whole spectrum of plants needs, resulting in exuberant green foliage.


Tips & tricks
Use Alg·A·Mic™ as a foliarsprayMore information concerning the use of seaweedsThe use of seaweeds has some five important effects on the growth of plants:
1. Immune system: seaweeds create a better resistance of the plant. Through seaweeds the plant can resist to the influences of environment and they also offer resistance to insects, which could harm the plant.


2. Chlorophyll: by adding extracts of seaweeds to the plant, this is able to better absorb and maintain chlorophyll. Chlorophyll is responsible for green leaves.


3. Microbes: extracts of seaweeds are a nutrient for positive and benign soil bacteria , which results in a great increase of the amount of microbes.


4. Nematodes: extracts of seaweeds makes the nematodes cause less harm to the plant. Indeed, extracts of seaweeds avoid the nematodes to settle comfortably on the plant or in the roots.


5. Resistance against alterations of temperature: extracts of seaweeds increase the process of acclimatization. This allows the plant to better resist the alterations of temperature and to give more resistance to cold. This reduces the damage to the plant in such circumstances.

Thinking about it I used to use Alg-A-Mic in my Nutes Mix..wonder if stopping has caused this problem???

Peace

Only other thing I can think of is FLUSH!

Will try get some more Pics uploaded...losing leaves everyday!!

So you think the Pot Size could be a Factor...

Peace

Great advice here.

Pot size is THE factor. Those things will bounce back completely in a couple days if you transplant them to big pots of healthy soil...
