Also I think if I had a calmag deficiency my tap water would have to be soft no ?

The calcium carbonates in your tap water arent very bioavailiable to plants..like say a calcium nitrate or calcium sulfate for example.They DO have the ability to help buffer ph and keep it stable,hence why I suggest cutting it 50/50.
 
I listen to sound advise and you have given none I watered one plant yesterday and ended up with droopy leaves a sign of over watering if you have no knowledge of what your talking about you should shut up because you leading people to failure. Reply again if you want but I won't see it as your now on my blocked list... Goodbye

OK mate I'm gonna try this method I'll let you know if it has soved the issue in a week or so, thanks again resinhound
 
Don't be mad just educate yourself. How do you know what sound advice is if you don't even know what your doing? Droopy leaves is what your using to tell if you've over watered? I'm howling Lmfao!!!!

Don't know which one I have !! Need help..


My soil is pH of 4 I know it is low but at the start of my grow I asked about it then and was told it was OK as there are buffers in the soil. But guess it's not OK after all is there a quick way to bring my soil pH up dolomatic lime takes months

did everybody miss the "my soil ph is 4" part?!
damn near NONE of the nutrients are even useable at that acidity.
Add all the calmag, water, and nitrogen in the world and it won't improve
Fix the soil ph.
 
actually, you might want to listen to jimmy on this one. Those pots you have those plants in are going to dry out fast and should be able to be watered almost every day. They are also meant to dry out evenly so if most of the top layer is dry, then most of the outer layer that touches the pot under your view is dry.

Most beginners have problems foremost with watering frequency and volume, and when their plant gets underwatered they search for all the extra bottles to combat this or that. Not only that, but everyone tries to tell you that you need to let your medium "dry out" - which can be true but some mediums actually prefer to go from wet to damp to wet, etc. Also, the myth of 15-20% runoff - you don't need runoff when a plant is still trying to establish it's roots.

Dolomite lime can start working in as little as two weeks, just sprinkle 1 tablespoon per gallon as a topdressing and water it in. Do this now if this is a "soil" grow.

I see you listed your medium as PM... Powdery Mildew? It looks too brown to be Powdery Mildew.

Pm stands for plant magic and dolomite lime I tested it on a pot with no plant and 3 weeks and no change !!!! And water every day that's just nuts sorry but I can't entertain that my plants were looking amazing reaching for the light and I watered to early (3days) and soon after they looked like shit


Greasm have you got any tips for the soil?

well, personally, i'd toss those containers..
I HATE those things...
I've tried almost all growing containers, and the simple white square plastic containers are the best IMO.
what i'd do is take them out of that soil, and trans into something else.
chasing ph problems can be a chore, and oftentimes simply doesn't work.
hardwood ashes are a great way to increase ph, so is d-lime.
Problem is that you are so far off it'll be hard to correct it perfectly.
From the looks of the plant, the roots are going to be small/malnourished, so transplanting now won't piss them off much more than they already are.
My guess is that plant magic is peat based.
Just go buy a bag of soil, like Fox farm, vermifire, roots, etc.
You'll be golden after that, I wouldn't try correcting the ph in the existing soil, that can be a unwashed whore to do that...
 
OK here is a pic for those of you that thinks my plants are hungry once you looked at it tell me again they are hungry lool

I only have this issue with 1 plant though so I'm not going to transplant all but the truth is I don't have anymore pots or soil and they have been transplanted a 8 days now and by the time I next get paid they will prol be rooted much more by then.. It's just weird how one pot reads a lower pH than the others so I'm gonna say thanks for all your advise and just gonna cut my losses and try resinhounds idea as I don't have funds now and hope the buffers are enough..

what kind of soil, ps don't ever let anyone tell you, it's OK because they aren't the one that will lose it all when it dies.

You have some of the best people in this thread trying to help you, but you are too arrogant to believe someone else may know more than you. How were the people on this site the haters in this thread? We all gave you good advice and none of us receive anything in return for trying to help other than you crying about people "hating on you". Maybe it's not everyone else, maybe it's YOU.
 
Later dude!!!!! You are an amateur with nothing valuable to offer. You just don't like the fact that you think you are right but really you are oh so wrong. I've never given anything but sound advice, I love my plants and my friends here. You are an arrogant , annoying little shit ass that doesn't know what the hell to do. Don't go somewhere else and troll there, stay here and change your profile like all good trolls do and then maybe you can double post the same shit over and over. You are too new and too inexperienced at this to do it correctly(it's obvious from your pictures) spray it all down with roundup and set fire to it. It's about all its going to be worth with you sailing the ship. Oh, you probably won't see this because I'm in your blocked list. LMFAO!!!! Good luck captain! Jimmy....

How can my plants be hungry I just don't understand you saying that if they look lively arching for the light that's not a sign of under watering I do listen and take 'constructive criticism' but I know total bullshit when I hear it if I feed them now while my pots are FUCKING HEAVY I will be over watering !!!!!!!! Then probably end up with oxegen starved roots and root rot

this is the same type of person that meets a single redhead and she breaks his heart so he think ALL redheads are evil after that... (I was going to make a racial analogy but thought better of it)
I have nothing to gain from offering advice, i'm at my shop, and I have nothing to do at the moment.

dude, it's YOUR world, if he is giving you advice you don't agree with, then just ignore it, trying to convince someone else that their advice is bad is a fool's errand.
Just ignore, and skim for relevant information.
No need to allow it to shit in your fishtank, you gotta swim around in that all day man.
