nutrient-problems & solutions [w.pics]

Originally posted by sanguenuzoi ive heard from several people in my area that sprayng nutrients is not even close on effectivnes when compared to root fedding ,would this happen due to high temperatues in my living area so the leafs should be let quiet for transpiration? or is this rule of thumb all around the wolrd regardless of general temperature on the area?

Foliar-feeding is not a substitute for root-feeding. However, due to the quicker absorption of nutrients through leaves in certain situations, foliar-feeding can be used as an emergency solution to acute nutrient deficiencies; especially where 'immobile' nutrients which travel slowly through the plant tissue are concerned.

Too much spraying will cause many problems. Transpiration will be hindered, chances of leaf-burning and infections will increase etc.

As for temperature, it is recommended that spraying be done at cool times of the day. For example, before sunset or before sunrise. This is of course has to do a lot with the substance being sprayed.

If you need specific info let me know

dude ive just remeberd a minor question i have about General Organics nutrients ( as your nick is organicgrow u probably already used it or at least heard about it) ... did u have any experience with GO ? do this nutrients make buds taste like chemical nutes? or with proper flush they taste better than overdrive/big bud fed plants?... sorry for noob questions but im about to use this general organics nutes and im very curious on what results i will get in matter of bud tastin (i know they wont taste the same as 100% organic growing but i dont have space or money for producting organic nutes myself in my home so ive chosen those ones)

Originally posted by organicgrow I haven't used that brand, it's not available where I live. In my experience, taste has a lot to do with the experience of the grower and the thoroughness of the final flush and not so much with the type of nutrients being used. Most of the stuff you hear or read about one brand being superior to another are marketing tricks. Aside from soil growing in which I use manures, I have only ever used chemical reagents as fertilizers for hydro and soil-less grows and I believe my buds are as fat and tasty and aromatic as any.

in my case no marketing ... real storys and so on ... but the ppl recomending me general organics also said similiar stuff u did , taste will be more connected to grower experience and flushing properly than to the nutrients ,i belive using moderated amounts of nutes and flushing with decent products shall make buds taste ok... im on a cheap ass moment right now so im reluctant on buying final phase or flora kleen but ill be buying them as soon as seeds go into the soil

hey guys i have a super skunk in almost week 4 of flower showing these signs running just water now the grow has been a pain in the ass from the beginning..

Possibly over-watered? But really I'd need to see pics in white light, the deep yellow of the HPS hides so much of the detail.

4 weeks in flower sounds way to soon to be stopping nutrients... definitely take some pics without the HPS so we can see the plant more clearly.
