Possible phosphorus deficiency

Sorry for the blurry pictures, All I have is a cheap microscope camera.

Purple stems and older leaves curling, Phosphorus deficiency?
I'll try and get better pictures later

I'm using BioBizz Bio grow, Do I use more of this to correct the phosphorus deficiency or do I use something with more phosphorus in it.

are you sure you havnt been using to much p?

I don't think so, I don't know when they were planted but they were seedlings on the 24th of April
They were watered with 1/2 ml of biogrow around the 27th of May and 1ml of bio grow on the 6/6

The purple stripes on the stem are normal.

Wat kind of soil is that? And are u using tap water?

If your water is hard you can rin into alot of problems I had to get a reverse osmossis cause of hard water. If you cant check the tds of your tap water pour a glass on sum black plastic and when it drys if its hella white its all bad

what about the purple leaf stems? picture 1&3.
I'm using westland multi purpose compost with perlite (6:1 ratio)
I'm using tapwater and There was some water and dead leafs in the base of my propagator(made from green plastic.). I left it on the draining board to dry and the inside of it is white

yeah you have hard water. it fucks shit up bad. get a reverse osmossis and watch your problems go away

i bet your tap water is at like 500 ppms. thats what mine was at. and it fucked up a whole crop. you will think its other things. but start with the water

Just had a read through the water sticky, it seems bottled water should be ok to use?
How much is an RO setup?

yeah bottled water is the same thing. its ph balanced as well. the hydrologic stealth 100 is around 200 buks runs great

Just looking at a bottle of cheap water,

calcium = 110
magneisium = 24
sodium = 11
potassium = 1
Chloride = 20
sulphate = 24
nitrate = 0.2
ph = 7
Bicarbonate = 377
Total hardness = 386

Would that be alright to use or does that total hardness seem a bit high?

sounds like tap water lol. I have a pen metter that reads tds and ppm on KCI and 442. bottled water wich is just R/O water that you buy in a bottle should have a tds of no more than 15. the highest iv seen is 32 and that was cause the water that was being cleaned was hella fuked up. just get a 5 gallon jug at wallmart there 7 dollars. go to the windmill thing and fill it up for 1.25 how much water do you need

Bottled spring water

Finally got better pictures, no real need to throw them up now, but what the hell everyone likes pictures

I was using only biobizz grow and had a huge phosphorus def. Was using RODI water and almost killed my plant. It was a momma so switched to an all purpose, concentrated fertilizer and problem solved.

I think I am running into the same problem using the complete BioBizz line; Alg-a-Mic, Grow, Bloom, and TopMax. Using all those at the levels recommended by the company, I believe I am still running low Phosphorus. I'm thinking of supplementing weekly the same all purpose fertilizer that I am using for the mommas, Miracle Grow Tomato Food at half strength (~600 ppm). Any comments?

why miricle grow?

age old grow is only 10 bucks really gud for veg
