Am I under-feeding?

Recommended Posts

Afternoon all. Got this stumpy little thing on its own in the tent at the minute and the lower half of the plant for the last week or so has been eating away at the bottom leaves.

 

Everything has been pretty eventless up to now and I don't want to change anything on a whim without seeing what some of you guys think.

 

It's currently being fed 5ml of oldtimer and .3 of mono mg. Temps are high 29 ish lights on and 27 off roots are 26 and the rest of it seems pretty dialed in.

 

Got some calmag here or I'm thinking of adding a bit more feed but I'm already at 1000ppm about 4 weeks into flower. Any ideas?

I've just watered so there is water in the tray. This is already removed.

I've only been watering once the pots are light to pick up, usually everyday 24 hours but sometimes sooner. I think its in a 2L pot.

All that plant in a 2 litre pot? 

 

I don't want to armchair diagnose, but that alone doesn't sound like a recipe for success unless you are really dialled in with watering.

 

Seems like its giving you little room for error between watering.

 

As above, what medium are you growing in?

You mentioned cal/mag and I am thinking of Coco.

You mentioned oltimer nuts and I am thinking of soil blend.

1000ppm I assume you convert as 1.0 ms/cm.....for flowering is relatively low ( intake nuts). 5ml/l? Oltimer  bloom only I assume.

 

4th week flowering...imo you should be around 1.6- 1.8 EC with bloom ?

That under tray doesn't lie. Stop letting your plant sit in it's own waste. Use Danish or Medusa trays and plumb them in.

Thanks for the replies all.

@grotbags

I checked the pot and they're 13cm so I'm guessing around the 2/3L mark. They're not big at all and they're in a soil potting mix at the mo. My first thought was N but I figured it was more likely an error with me rather than nutrients.

@Moonstone420

Yeah its definitely something I've done/ am doing.

@Amnesialocal

The CaMg is here because my water is awful, I am yet to use it but it is chocked full on N so I was wondering whether to top up the oldtimer bloom or add .5 CaMg so weather all storms. Sounds stupid now I've written it out...

@Slippy One I swear i only took the picture quick because I'd just watered and was there but I will raise the pots off the tray now and make sure nothing is sat in wet ever. I ruled this out only because yesterday's watering was almost too late and I started to get a bit of droop. Assumed I'd been OK with the watering so far. Past experiences generally dictate I'll be wrong though!

That looks like an overwatered droop, if she was thirsty, she wouldn’t look like she does. 😩

Lol I've taken you're advice, got them up out of the pots and I'm laying off the watering until the pots are light as a feather. 

I wasn't arguing I was just explaining my process. I'm usually in 10L pots and near enough every problem I encounter still takes me be surprise...

She’s desperate for a repot by the look of things.

I'm about 3 weeks into flower at this point. Would it still be safe?

Isn’t ideal mate but I’d go for it to be honest, if you’re careful about it you’ll be glad you did later.

Thanks all. I've chucked it in a gallon pot now. I'll give it a couple of days, keep the bottom dry and let you know how she looks. Hopefully less stressed...
