Outdoor Sick Plants

[Cesar300_]

Strain Mac 1
Growing in Roots Organic soil
Using a 25 gallon pots
I usually water when the soil feels dry . Typically
I feed them twice a week
2 tbs per gallon of Dyna Gro Grow
2 tbs per gallon of Cal Mag
Temperatures out here in the bay are around 75-80
Top growth has droopy leaves folded like taco shells . Some leaves have purple spots . I did check under the pots and looks like the roots are going thru the fabric Pots . Maybe Root-bound causing deficiencies ? ‍‍

Too strong on the nutes. I haven't used Dyna-Gro in 20 years, but I'm sure that 30 ml per gallon is too much. Also most Cal/Mag supplements suggest 3-5 ml / gallon, and you're giving them 30.

Give them some fresh water only for at least a week.

Is That 2 tablespoons or two teaspoons per gallon? Because it could be heat stress from the heat wave that’s been going on but it also could be slight overfertilization are you getting crispy leaves at the bottom?

It’s teaspoons. I don’t think it’s heat stress not really hot out here .

Sorry, you said tbs which is tablespoon. Still 2 teaspoons is 10 ml per gallon, so cut your nutes in half at least.

No crispy leaves at bottom . Not going to lie but the bottom look way better than top growth

They look thirsty, 25 gallon pots need 10 gallon waterings. I’d drench them then wait a couple days.

I would water more often then

Does look under-watered. I need 12 gal of water in my 20 gal pots to get runoff. Depending on how much you’re giving them, the bottom of the pots could still be dry.

Because honestly I only add like 7 gallons of water . Also it kinda makes sense because roots are literally going through the fabric pots Maybe does roots are not getting water ????

 

[Seawood]

I think that could be your issue. Roots growing through fabric pots is fine. I’m guessing your not getting enough water to the bottom of your pots. You need more than 7 gallons to get runoff in 25 gal pots.try giving them 10-12 gal and see what happens. Less frequent, heavier watering is best for a healthy wet/dry cycle. I was wrong, I use 12 gal in my 30s....9 gal in my 20s.

How often are you watering?

every 3 days but honestly I noticed that soil dries up too fast because they in pots

Are you using filtered water or tap? If your using tap water it will already have some Ca, Mg & Fe in it

[/QUOTE
It’s tap water

 

[chernobe]

I'd stop adding the Cal mag for a while wait till you see spots on the leaves before adding anymore. There are cheap filters that attach to the end of a garden hose and make a world of difference
