Gotta check for broad's/russets also........... Are the hairs burnt or orange already? Have you scoped?

[plantingplants]

That plant has russets but I've seen a lot of russet mite infestations from light to fucked, and never seen it present like that. Not to say it won't. I also have other blue dreams equally infected with russets that don't have that symptom. I've treated them so we'll see if it abates.

I have seen damage that looks a lot like that from russets.

The Blue Dreams had the russets? Think that is where you got them? I better go do another round of scoping.

[plantingplants]

! Really?Ok well that seems like problem solved but I'll keep my eye out.

No there have been Russets here before. They just seem to be getting hit the hardest. I should check sap.

There is an underlying problem for pest pressure. I'd put my money on plant health.

What was the brix?

SFV x Triangle from Cannarado I think. I am liking this plant

Would it be a waste to irrigate with amino calcium? Or just save it for foliar?

I picked up 5pds after doing some testing with my new soil ec meter, reads are averaging .2, and I too find a higher ec after watering.. brix is like 6-7 and pretty fuzzy. So i definitely need to get feeding...

Main question: what's a good way to raise soil ec? I've read people not having much luck fertigating and only Topdresses raised soil ec.

I'd like to get it atleast above .5

I'm also seeing what I would think is an N deficiency but I'm guessing it's just an all around deficiency... from my soil test I have x2 as much K as I want (9%) and have already put about 10+ pds of gypsum per yard and flush to runoff each watering

So I'm planning on atleast foliaring the amino Ca a few times a week so the buds have some calcium, and will fertigate with an ounce per gallon of 8-5-1 fish hydrosylate and 5ml seacrop along with the normal goodies (fulvic 1gram, yucca, molasses, ect..)

Do you guys try to cut out N in flowering? And if so when? I've read that the amino N can be feed throughout flowering without an adverse taste/ eagle claw but wanted to hear what the "masters" have to say

Master of puppets

I just consulted a guy that had EC .12 and N def. Top dressed about 2lbs each of mostly Ca, P, touch of N and K via guano and kelp. Poured on pacific gro and earth juice grow. He's(his wife) kinda cheap so I just used stuff I had laying around. He said it's going the other way today.

Edit I add N if they need it via foliar in flower but I like to see a shortage

Edit again that's a lot of questions I used amino Ca in fertigation to balance out some higher K

Eastbay....You are safe to use that fish. I would not go anywhere near 5 ml per gallon fertigating sea crop though...that is a lot of Na. An occasional 11 ml per gallon spray for ultra trace is fine but don't build Na in your soill.

I would say go 2 ounces on the fish...not to runoff...and see what happens over the next week to both your ec and plants.

Based on what you see decide where to go from there.

Make sure you are not using any N in the nitrate form at this point.

I am making the assumption your soil is reasonably balanced. If it isn't then you need to add to that feed what you are short of also. But the amino will jack up microbe activity making all minerals more available.

The trick to building a soil that holds its EC is the c::n ratio along with balance. The ability to maintain a strong microbe population.
