this plant is 60 days old, it should be twice the size it is, and i can't figure out the problem.
it looks like a phosphorous problem, but i'm giving it more than i'm giving any of my other plants.
i grow in 2/3 miraclegrow potting soil and 1/3 coco. i use vegamatrix nutes, have been following the standard veg schedule. for microbes i use a spoon full of SCD Bioag, a spoon full of Buffaloam, and a spoon full of molasses in each gallon of water, added a day before i water so it can steep and culture overnight.
started this plant with 4 others (different strains) and they're all doing well, one is actually 3 weeks into flowering. use tap water, but i let it sit for about 3 days before i use it, and by then it tests as having NO chlorine in it.i ph correct to 6.0, check the runoff, and its never been way off. i'm trying not to kill it with phos because that can cause other lockouts. this one threw single bladed leaves for a long time, well past when the others had started to develop normal healthy growth.
part of me just wants to throw it out and give its space to a productive plant, but another part of me doesn't want to give up on a wayward child.
i've flushed this plant twice and tweaked its feeding schedule to give it all the phosphorous i can without causing a zinc or iron deficiency.
any suggestions would be appreciated. i've read all the forums about sick plants, and have tried all the reasonable suggestions i've found, with no results
