Growmaster J Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 So I noticed theres rust colouring forming and spreading all over my plants. They are in Promix and on day 29. I looked over my partners notes for watering cause i was suspicious he wasnt listening to me about the pH level and not using the Grow in the advanced 3 part during flowering cause the chart says too. He's a hydroponics guy and seems to think Promix (yes, its not soil) is still considered hydroponics in a form. He's been watering at with a 5.5 - 5.7 pH and adding Grow in the food this whole time. I hit them with water and carboload last nite with a pH of 6.2 to try and regulate them and ripped a new one into him. I know that there's probly a magnesium definciency amongst other problems now but....My question is: Is this permanent damage that will kill my yeild, cause they do still look awsome?Is it worth watering or foiler spraying with epson salts to try and save the leaves and regulate my plants, or just flush them and hope for the best?

Dust Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 I think that the people that will be mostly able to answer will ask you for pictures of the leaves and plants man And what soil exactly is your promix? from what brend, cause there are shit loaaads of promix soil lol ^^Good luck i hope we'll find a solution Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romeu9 Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 I would let them dry first, before flushing. A foliar spray to compensate for Mag def is a good practice if you cant do it by normal feeding...Some pics?Take care Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romeu9 Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 Just remembered that those "rust" spots can be some products that dont match with each other.. just a note. Might be helpfull. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Growmaster J Posted March 31, 2012 Author Share Posted March 31, 2012 Thanks I'm using only Advanced thou. They were very dry and I flushed with carbo load, Cal-Mag and kept the pH a little higher. My water is a little cold too, like 57 - 63 sometimes. I'm using Promix BX? In Canada thats the stuff? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chronic Grower Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 hi growmaster j i use advanced boosters with green dream grow and bloom then went and used advanced jungle juice grow, micro,bloom, i have had problems with rust spots on my fan leaves i then found out that i got to mix the micro in and them stir very well before adding grow or bloom, if mixed together undiluted will cancel eachother out. i used to pour the nutes in the water before stiring , so i think i locked nutes outseems bit crap thats how it works from the same brand nutesmybe this is what your friend is doinghope it helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Growmaster J Posted April 1, 2012 Author Share Posted April 1, 2012 Well, I'm mixing 4 x 220 L drums at a time each watering. I usually keep a 20 L pail with water in it and pre mix the nutes seperatly first before dumping into drums. I think its definatly from a low pH and my partners bright idea of following advanced feeding charts to a tee....Who would put 4ml of Grow, Micro and Bloom in throughout the whole flower cycle, and why would Advanced even recommend that?

Chronic Grower Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 i know dont sound right does it , i dont think the plants like the ratio of the jungle juice they recommend thats why i gone back to green dream just dont trust the jungle juice anymore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Growmaster J Posted April 2, 2012 Author Share Posted April 2, 2012 I quit trying to post pics, and I have 1000's of awsome pics from over a dozen rooms.
