I think you are right in the calcium. Have you added any Cal Mag? Revive is really great stuff. I have added it as part of regular feedings before (I should note I am doing hydro, not soil). Just as an aside, I grew up farm on a farm and we used revive in soil.
Are you using any other nutrients?
Soil A & B,Multi Zen,and roots excelurator gold! All house and garden nutrient line.
I have heard a lot of good things about there product line
Looks like Manganese Deficiency to me but the answer may not be to add more it could be from Ph (nute lockout)
Is it possible to test the PH of your leach water⌠(you want to collect the first bit of run off)
Can you but if you do make sure you donât spray with the lights on. It can burn the plant
After I tested my leach I would flush the plants with R/O water PH balanced @ 6.5
Get a fresh start again
Looks like youâre using soil. I think that product is for hydro, but I could be wrong. I just thinking that your plants went without nutes so long because you were using distilled⌠the top new growth looks nice and green and the old set of fan leaves that are showing the damage. Donât worry about because those are coming off anyway. They look good!
This could be possible also but easy to confirm⌠If you test your leach Ph at the same time test your EC. If EC is low buzzy could be rightâŚ
At min you will have some answers and be able to learn from the results
Which product are u referring to? I am using the house and garden app using soil at base and only using what is recommended.
Oh Iâm sorry⌠Revive. I think thatâs a hydro product, but donât know much about it for soilâŚ
Look at the new growth, it looks healthy to me
Pretty sure you can use it with soil. We used it as part of a foliar spray for our produce when I was growing up on our farm.
Good to know⌠hate to advise when youâre not sure!
I am trying to find a source that confirms just to be sure. I donât particularly like relying on memories from well over 30 years ago. But having said that, from what I have found, most nutrients used in hydro can be added to soil. Not to mention Revive is one of the few things that is added ml/L and not ml/Gal, so it isnât overly concentrated.
I will water again tommorrow. I will test it then and provide update then.
She has really began to spread her wings since I changed water I was using and added the nutrients u suggested.
Thatâs promising⌠her holiday glow!!! If you feel your plant is ever sick or over nutes for any reason, flush out with your purified and then ph again and start from scratch. Again use the distilled for your final flush stage before harvest. Also, after you ph the distilled water place your jug in a warm pot of water. Warm water breaks down the saline faster in your plants.
I am seeing a lot of posts about hydro nutes being used in soil with companies like GH and Fox Farm saying they are safe to use. Not sure of the dosing though.
I am preparing to water. Will be testing leach water. I will update u with #âs. I am going to throw in a little vitamin supplementation and some cal mag supplementation. Is that going to affect my #âs? From my understanding calcium will help stabilize ph. Not sure correct me if I am wrong or u have some insight.
Ph of water prior to watering 6.4 and ec at 0.
Leach water was at ph 7.2 and ec @0.6. @Mpower11 @buzzy6
Yes cal/mag will make a buffer for your ph
How much water did you flush them with? Did you drop the ph below 7.2? And what ph did you feed at?
Water was ph to 6.4. Leach water was at 7.2 after watering. I watered with one gallon which gives me about 20% runoff. . I didnât flush the soil. If I need to do that I will do it with next water cycle which will probably be Sunday. I did supplement with cal/mag and vitamins. If it needs to be flushed do I just ph water plain and water them and then turn around and water with nutrients? Any input is much appreciated. Still new at soil growing. @Mpower11 @buzzy6
