nutrient deficiency
- Thread starter il sativo
- Start date
Potassium deficiency maybe, looks like several things to me. Are the symptoms coming from the top or the bottom of the plant? Along with all of poo's questions.
And maybe a picture that's not taken under the HPS. Everything looks yellow, so it's hard to see what I'm looking at.

you are in late flower then? i just ask because; when plants senesce {if you are this far along} they give indicators as to how they may have done throughout the grow
the best grows simply get fall colors
but; when theres been deficiencies which may not have been significant ~sometimes the 'fall colors' come on appearing as deficiencies
since you show no bud pix; i m guessing
be wary of over watering and over compensating w/ nutes you dont want to doom what may be an acceptable grow otherwise
notice that for most deficiencies; you want to flush then feed a balanced nute solution
i do living soil/organic but been down that road too GL

What exactly are you feeding your plants right now and how many ml's? Your not just using Canna PK are you?
no i used something called plant prod (powder) for veg cycle 15 ml per gallon but i used a bit less(10-52-10) then used a store made n-p-k of 3-1-3, 5 ml per liter of water as soon i started flowering just to try it this 3-1-3 had minerals in it that the 10-52-10 didn't have but the yellowing and rust spots begun before i even started feeding them anything i didn't give them any canna pk13-14 yet but i will use some maybe in week 6 or 7 just one single watering before i start flushing them, any suggestions??? thanks for helping
just an update on my ladies:after watering with cal-mag nutrients after a good amount of run off water i then let the soil go fairly dry before watering with just water at the right ph, it took about a week to see results, and i can tell that all the yellow leafs have recovered ,the dieing and the rust spots on the leafs have completely stopped i guess the flush with cal-mag helped get rid of the salt build up and the ladies are now absorbing the nutrients to recover thanks for all your help and any suggestion is greatly appreciated!!! thanks Il Sativo.
