Mandala Kalichakra Grow 1st Timer

[Weedguru Higher]

I had a magnesium deficiency on one of my plants way back when..

Here's the pics









I also had a weird twisting of the leaves going on before the spots showed



I fixed the problem by using this

If it is a Mg def, that's easily fixed. Just pick up some epsom salts, add 1/2 tsp to a gallon of water and use that next time you water them.

But

The purpling of the stems could signify a phosphorus deficiency....or it could be totally normal. Some strains just do that. The leaves don't quite look like the phosphorus deficient pics I have though.

So yeah, I'm not too sure

But you should just go ahead and give them some proper nutes and they should be fine. If it's a first feeding give it only a 1/4 strength of the recommended dose.

Yep the leaves twisted, Ive read the low soil temp & moisture can lock magnesiem out, definately mg deficiency im just wonderin wether its the only deficiency with the stems goin purple

[Weedguru Higher]

Have you fed it yet?

[SativaMonkey]

i gave them epson salts quarter tsp to 4 pints of water, but i aint gave them any other fertilizer i thought with them been in larger pots the soil should still have plenty in it

[Weedguru Higher]

You have pre-ferted soil?

[SativaMonkey]

yea but it seems to be getting worse im thinking give them the 20-20-20 fertilizer ive got & see what happens if they croak it then tough shit, their 3 week old & this is it so far









Is that normal for 3 week growth?

Shit man they looking better than mines were at that age,just hope u get less males than mr I'm down to half and a few looking like male and the only 2 female I found so far are the younger seedlings I had on the side and and all my bigs ones I took forever to grow are the damn males lol it's not cool but other than that they looking good,justremember to use 1/4 the recommended dosage of mites and don't over due it trust me it sucks when u get nute burn from trying to make them grow faster

[SativaMonkey]

Im feelin your pain m8 theirs a good chance that mine will go the same way (mainly male) i`ll be wounded if my bigger ones go that way at the moment they are been blasted with a 600w metal halide (my leki bill makes me wana cry lol) but im a 1st timer & dont expect to have great returns for this grow its more the learning curve for the experience for when i lean more into 20+ mixed strain plants, if you lived close by bro id let ya take a few of mine of my hands then i could fetch in the feminized ones i want..

[SykonoT]

That would b awesome lol where u live?

[Weedguru Higher]

The damaged leaves won't 'get better' . What's important is if the new growth is growing in healthy or not.

[SativaMonkey]

im in lancashire in the uk. the new growth has no sign of any damage thank F*** so i think its hopefully done its job i`ll be keeping a very close eye on them

[SativaMonkey]

Oke i just forked out £20 for this http://www.plantsbypost.com/plant-food- ... oplus.html because it contains them Trichoderma and Mychorrizal fungi that supposedly releases more ferts that the plant wouldnt normally get & helps deal with stress has anyone used these fungi things before & can tell me what sort of results will i be lookin at from them?

[Weedguru Higher]

I dunno man...never used it and frankly haven't even heard of it before you mentionned it. When I search for its use with marijuana, I really don't find that many results. It may be because it's a UK product and is less well known perhaps?

I suggest you use the entire line of nutes from that same company...don't mix brands. (That goes for any brand) And make sure you research it properly. The product you have showed me is an additive to your nutrient solution...you don't use just that

As far as I can tell the proper products would be the following

Veg nutes:

Vitalink Bio-Pac
Vitalink Bio-Plus
Vitalink Max Grow A & B

Flower nutes at this stage:

Vitalink Bio-Pac
Vitalink Bio-Plus
Vitalink Max Bloom A & B


One downside of these products that I've seen a few times in my quick search is the lack of information about the products from the company

And you must not use hydrogen peroxide with this product as it will kill the beneficial bacteria

[SativaMonkey]

You the man higher i had never thought about all that ah well more moneys gota be spent i`ll be keepin everyone updated on how vitalink is doing i couldnt find much on it either so its worth documenting for future reference for anyone

And on another note, i found out the cold blast from my air intake fan that was chilling the soil pots, causing stunted growth & possible mg lockout so anyone in the cold arse coutries get a greenhouse bar heater & put it in the intake pipe to warm the air on its way in, the reason the air temperature drops so much on its way thru the fans (im gona get all scientific) is the (Venturi Effect) when you speed up air or water flow it also cools it considerably "good for exhaust vents for the paranoid" good example of this effect is take the middle out of a pen & blow down the tube on the palm of your hand "cold yea", now blow down a toilet roll tube on the palm of your hand "warm/hot" im gona put 75mm section of piping into my 150mm exhaust fan tubing to make the air travel faster & see if it works

P.S yep i got to much time on my hands lol

[SativaMonkey]

ok strange/stupid question???

1 x 150mm inline fan
1 X 100mm thermostatic inline fan

which one should i use for the exhaust??
