Even though I love all of you people I didn't want to be back here posting anytime soon , but here goes....
I'm 99% sure this is a Mg deficiency, but I'll fill this part out anyways...
How long has this problem been going on? 4 or 5 days
What STRAIN are you growing? alaskan ice/various bag seeds
What was the establishing technique? (seed or clone?) seed
What is the age of your plants? 3 weeks
How Tall are the plants? 3-5 in
What PHASE (seedling, vegetative or flower) are the plants in? veggin
What size pots are you using? 4" pots now, just moved from cups
What substrate/medium are you using? What brand of soil mixture are you using? LC's mix: 5parts peat:3 perlite:2 worm castings w/ added dolomite lime
What Nutrient's are you using? only a 1/2 dose of fish emulsion so far also silica blast + seaweed (0-0-1) every other watering
How much of each nutrient are you using with how much water? *Knowing the brand is very helpful* 1/2 tbls FE/capful Neptune's Harvest 0-0-1/7 drops Silica blast all per gallon water
How often are you feeding? one shot of FE so far. Seaweed/Silica have been added twice and will be used at every other watering and FE per BurnOne's directions
What is the pH of the "RUN-OFF"? Haven't tested, but everything that goes in is 6.5 +- .1
What method of pH test was administered? Using Strips? pH pen? pen
How often are you watering? lightly everyday as to not overwater (using potlift method and I don't feel that I'm doing it improperly)
When was your last feeding and how often are you feeding? thursday I gave them silica blast/seaweed when transplanting. Does this even count as a feeding? Plan on giving them another half shot of fish emulsion tomorrow
What size bulb are you using? 2 40W T12s
What is the distance to the canopy? few inches
What is your RH Factor? (Relative Humidity) 40-50
What is the canopy temperature? stays low 70s day round pretty much
Is the fan blowing directly at plants? lightly
Is the grow substrate constantly wet or moist? moist at most and are watered when light
Is your water HARD or SOFT?
What water are you using? tap
I won't be able to add pictures till Monday, but here's stiches' description of a Mg deficiency:
Magnesium is one of the easiest deficiencies to tell… the green veins along with the yellowness of the entire surrounding leave is a dead giveaway, but sometimes that’s not always the case here. In case you have one of those where it doesn’t show the green veins, sometimes leaf tips and edges may discolor and curl upward. The growing tips can turn lime green when the deficiency progresses to the top of the plant. The edges will feel like dry and crispy and usually affects the lower leaves in younger plants, then will affect the middle to upper half when it gets older, but It can also happen on older leaves as well. The deficiency will start at the tip then will take over the entire outer left and right sides of the leaves. The inner part will be yellow and or brownish in color, followed by leaves falling without withering. The tips can also twist and turn as well as curving upwards as if you curl your tongues.
Everything in bold is what I have. Additionally the middle vein that divides the leaf is red coming from the stem. The problem is only on the first set of true leaves, however on one it has just started on the tip of a leaf on the 2nd set
Before Thursday they were only in peat+perlite, given pHed water (i.e. not overfed) and were prob lacking N but I'm feeding slowly and there's some N in my mix w/ the worm castings so they should be okay on that.. i guess..?
*I think* the problem is Mg and I have them in that mix but I didn't let it cook. It was only mixed thoroughly a bunch of times over a 24 hr period and I read that dolomite lime is slow acting. So should I add some fast acting Mg? That's if you agree w/ me that it is Mg.. if it's not lemme know
Shit I just read somewhere that Mg doesn't show up this quick. I think it was a link from George Cervantes' book. Can this even be magnesium this quickly? First grow, I spent countless hours reading and I want this to go well.
Damn, I guess a picture is worth a thousand words. lol. Sorry for the long post, but I would really appreciate some help. Thanks a lot.
