Hello new cw! Undoubtedly a good site!, right!?

Got some problems in the garden that I hope I can get some help or adivise
on. The problem has been around in a very minor way since the begining of flower, and slowly has gotten worse. Its only apperant in 4 or 5 plants.

Ive been feeding Alaska fish veg(5-1-1)and Alaska MorBloom(0-10-10)
Alternating the fish Veg with Urine diluted each feed. Ive just added, Grotek Kelp(0.3-0.3-4) and mollasis.
They are currently at day 36 pics are day 35.

Springs I think you need to drop the 5-1-1 and the urine. I think all that N is throwing your Bloom nutes out of whack. What I see looks like Phosphorus def, maybe some Potassium def as well.
Also, I think you are overdoing it on the Epsom salts. They just are not needed at the doses you are giving. You could possibly be locking out your nutrients when the epsom salt mixes with your ferts. I'd drop it altogether, as I'd say any Mg def you might have had or wanted to avoid is sussed by now.

Sorry i should have said ive been adding epsoms once a week, not discounting that it could be a mg def though.

i agree with to much N in your mix drop the N to about 1 and raise that P-K. Definatelly looks like it could be nitrogen burn. Potasium def. is more than likely an issue to but i would lean more toward N burn flushing your medium with clean RO or distilled water wouldnt hurt either.

Interveinal clorosis at the tip.......

Using Alaska?........Ph imbalance.

did you check the pH of the soil?

Ph does flux a bit, but its always been in range, they had a hard ph up bringing,
but was corrected for flower. There already starting to get better, ive got a
smaller guy in a 1L who had the same kinda probs, I flushed him a few days ago, followed next day by a good pk dom feeding. Thanks for the help guys, Ill let you know how things go :)

I do not like the Morbloom at all.It's not organic and is a pain to flush out at the end,makes the buds taste like plastic,waaay too acidic at the start.........

Have you tried Metanaturals 1-5-5 ?

Springs

Thats not encouraging to hear, good to know none the less though :p

I havnt tried it, this is my first all organic solo grow, on a non existant budget :D

Ive got a guano tea with morbloom and mollasis bubbling atm. I dont want plastic buds, think its worth it for the switch If my store has it?

Springs

There still working on my end.

Im at day 38 give or take a day, expecting nothing to be to be past 10 weeks.

I dont think I can get the metanaturals in my area, either.

Heres a few more pics, hopefully viewable.

Doesn't look too bad from those last three shots.

I'd back off the N side as well,and give them a three week flush if possible.

I am reacting to pics 5-8, I don't get the point of 9 at all. But there seems to be a difference between 1-4 and 5-8. By difference I mean different symptoms presenting themselves. I think those first 4 do show some signs of possible Mg def. And the next 4 show what could be a N burn, or P and K def., which I'm not sure there is any difference between. If you look at the pics in the med doc you can see the similarities. It seems to be the same effect coming from a slightly different direction.

Edit: Springs, you edited out info regarding epsom salts that you were using at 1tbls every week. Please correct me if I am wrong.
Edit: alright forget all the above, the last 3 pics just look like N burn to me too. You already know what to do.

just a thought but I thought I saw some hot spots but this is over my head. The 5-1-1 needs to be mixed lighter. Been playing with it off and on at low doses. just enough you cant smell the stincky mix. I would make sure there was no hot spot by checking temps. Good luck you got some good peeps looking after you.
