Water PH or Lack of nutrients?

Looks like the start of calcium deficiency.

Are you supplementing any calmag? What line of nutes again?

@BobbyDigital @PurpNGold74 @Bulldognuts

I am in Soil.

So far all of the issues seemed to have stemmed from water PH issues. I assume if it were root bound or under watering the colors wouldn’t have come back to the affected leaves.

Is that a safe assumption?

Color doesn’t typically come back with deficiencies. Some deficiencies like iron the color will come back when corrected. That bottom plant looks real hungry. What are you feeding it?

The images are inverted. They are the same plant. The yellow was a week ago and now she is green again. They are in a super soil. I haven’t changed anything but the water

Oh gotcha. So you just adjusted your ph? Must have been pretty far out of range to produce a lockout. Typically with super soil as long as you’re between 6-7 it’s good.

Are now PHing water differently?

@Bulldognuts @BobbyDigital @PurpNGold74 Changed the water source. I explained in the very first post on this thread. Everyone thought it was either root bound, under watering or nute def. It seems like it was just the water all along unless im missing something.

Side note: patience seems to be key with organics, huh? They took about 12 days to recover unlike a soilless medium. I thought I was going to lose my mind not tinkering with it.

Yeah with organics it takes time to break down the food. The good part though is it’s pretty difficult to burn your plants organically.

Hi all,

I wanted to post a few recovery pics in this thread and some final words.

I have no duplicate cultivars here so it was interesting to see how each plant recovered. Some came back in full force and a few are still recovering. Im not sure if that says anything about the cultivars that recovered quickly or not e.g. great genetics vs. No so great, but ive sure learned a few things which is what this journey is all about (and dank smoke of course)

Patience is key and less appears to be more with organics when trying to solve problems.

Thanks all for your help. This seems like a great community!
