These r the 3 deficiencies i think i'm having. Anyone got any ideas how to tackle it? Think the plants might die need help:cry:

Iron (Fe) is a key catalyst in chlorophyll production and is used in photosynthesis. A lack of iron turns leaves pale yellow or white while the veins remain green. Iron is difficult for plants to absorb and moves slowly within the plant. Always use chelated (immediately available to the plant) iron in nutrient mixes.
Manganese (Mg) works with plant enzymes to reduce nitrates before producing proteins. A lack of manganese turns young leaves a mottled yellow or brown. Zinc (Z) is a catalyst and must be present in minute amounts for plant growth. A lack of zinc results in stunting, yellowing and curling of small leaves. An excess of zinc is uncommon but very toxic and causes wilting or death.

Do you know your ph? I f*cked mine up and it locked out the nutes showing several dif's at once. If you don't know your ph you need to find out what it is. Your pic is small and I can't tell if your in soil or not. Soil ph should be 6.8-7 and hydro should be between 5.5-5.8.

Check your ph.Are you growing in soil?????Hard water will screw up your ph.Having same exact problem.Stopped using my tap water.Have been using distilled H2O,but starting to get pricey.Attempting to locate some "RO" water.To remedy my problem i flushed with several gallons of distilled water,then 3 or 4 days latter i watered my girls again,but added a centrum vit for women to my gallon of water & fed them.It really did help out a-lot.I was even surprised w/ the results.Good luck

Remember that alkiline soil will block out those nutes Fe,Mg & Zfor the plant to take up.

Another thing, if you are useing R/O filtered water, you will have those Def's because the r/o filters those out of the water, so just add CalMag to your nut's.

A better picture that we can look close at would help also.

What do you mean hard water will screw up your PH? As long as your bring the ph to right level it should be fine right? my water is very hard I just let my water sit out for 2 days then lower ph. But I do have the same DEF, im trying to find out why sounds like it might be the soil or to little fert I not sure..

I thought water PH should be 6.0 when using soil

You get CalMag from the Hydroponics store. The R/O filter filters out all the trace minerals, so you have to add them back with CalMag, especially during flowering.
