Problem That i cant seem to fix, any ideas? - Cannabis Infirmary - International Cannagraphic Magazine Forums

Here is a pic of what i have been dealing with. I have a pretty good idea that it is a Mag Def. But i cant seem to fix it with epsom salts. I mix a 1/4 tsp per gallon of water. I water with it every other watering and foliar feed them every night right before lights out, and it dosen't seem to be solving it. So if anyone can give me a clue to what else it might be please feel free to speak up. Any help would be so greatly appreciated. Thanx all.

What is your ph at?
You could be giving them too much are those leaves from the lower part of your plant or near the top?
What other nutes are you using and how much?

Im not sure what my ph is. i have not yet purchased a meter . The leaves are from the lower part, but there are quite a bit of leaves like that on the tops too. I was feeding them with some bloom booster by Expert Gardener from Wal-Mart. I know I know its cheap but that is all that i could afford..lol...I stopped giving them nutes about two weeks ago cause i thought that maybe i was overferting but the problem has yet to clear up. Thanks for getting back with me.

hey audible,
that aint a magnesium deficiency.
Since you are not overfeeding it by the sounds of things I would suspect your ph to be wrong...

Blackmelo...Just out of curiosity, how do you check PH in a soil grow?

Dr. D · 03-26-2006, 09:28 PM

Yeh i would say it has something to do with your ph being out causing nute lock up...
Blindate you would need a soil ph meter or you would check the run off when watering to see what level it is at..

the real only way to chech ph of your soil accuratley is to take water that u know the ph of likebotlled water has 7.0 then water until 10% comes out then check the phof thata water but wont be able 2 do so unless u have ph meter

^ Just use distilled water. Distilled water has no buffers, so the drainage goes right to the ph of the soil. Tap often has alot of Calcium, Chlorine, and lots of Carbonates, which will show higher higher ph.

What is your humidity audibleillusion?

Mace, The humidity is always between 30-35%. I wish could post a pic of it but i dont have a camera. I had to scan the leaves on my scanner to get a good pic. I could always scan the plant in for ya lol..
