plant was drooping a little this morning and then came home from work and the whole thing is drooping all the others look great but this one plant just looks really sick. the plant is in soil and was started from a clone it is 1 month old.i have used miracle grow 15-52-15 one time 5 days ago and it was less than half the recommended strength. i started flowering 1 week ago. i am using flos 8 of them. the room never gets hotter than 75 degrees and no colder than 65. also i just flushed it when i got home. any help would be greatly appreciated could it be a defiency? also it is in 1 1/2 gal pot and is 1 foot tall and very bushy. thanks
maybe over watering.. are leaves turning yellow? that fert is high in phospate for veg cycle,IMO, but wait for pro's to be sure.
to GrowKind, mjnewbie2003. Most of the cultivators of Marijuana who use Miracle Grow posting questions on this forum are asking why their plant looks bad after feeding it. I think that you need to find yourself some better food to feed your smokeables.
ive never heard a good thing about MG, unless from wife about her roses :LOL:. ive got bio-bizz for next grow--expensive, but from what i hear,, worth it. (Edited by oldnewfiefart at 3:23 am on June 23, 2004)
after flushing plant looks a lot better. and i am going to look for a better fert. what are the best ferts for a person on a limited budget? thanks
Go here>>MetaNaturals You could probably get away with only using two of those fertilizers for your entire grow. I've used them with other organics, but you could probably get away with only using the 3-3-3 for veg and the 1-5-5 for flowering.
you are probably over-watering. My plants are doing fine under miracle gro. admittedly it isnt the greatest thing to use but it is easy, just dilute it alot and only feed maybe one per 2-3 weeks. I have suffered only mild tip burns
yo i wont suffer any micronutrient problems if i use worm castings throughout veg and meta bloom throughout the flower right?
Abis...here is some info on the Metas for ya to read. http://www.metanaturals.com/products.htm The 3-3-3 is the base of the Meta magic. I'm not so sure worm castings can fill the bill for veg alone. Never done it myself so I wouldn't know. I do know that MJ plants eat like a mutha when they get a good rootzone established and the Metas work like right now when my plants are hungry, and I use Black Gold soil which has lots of castings and loads of other things in it. There is more going on than just the plants feeding....there are microbes that live in the soil that break down the nutrients into a workable form for the plant. This is where the 3-3-3 comes in by providing a well established colony of microbes. Well...go read of much info on the Meta site and see for yourself...it's a good lesson to learn.
herb, i cant thank you enough for introducing metanaturals to me. Metanaturals seems to have all the answers. No micronutrient problems, all organic, soil or hydro compatible, affordable, and effective. In your expderience with metanaturals, do you use the recommended dosage or 1/2 of it?
