Key on Nutrient Disorders

To use the Problem-Solver, simply start at #1 below. When you think you've found the problem, read the Nutrients section to learn more about it. Diagnose carefully before

making major changes. 1) a) If the problem affects only the bottom or middle of the plant go to #2.

If it affects only the top of the plant or the growing tips, skip to #10. If the problem seems to affect the entire plant equally, skip to #6.

2) a) Leaves are a uniform yellow or light green; leaves die & drop; growth is slow. Leaf margins are not curled-up noticeably. >> Nitrogen (N) deficiency.

If not, go to #3.

3) a) Margins of the leaves are turned up, and the tips may be twisted. Leaves are yellowing (and may turn brown), but the veins remain somewhat green. >> Magnesium (Mg) deficiency.

If not, go to #4.

4) a) Leaves are browning or yellowing. Yellow, brown, or necrotic (dead) patches, especially around the edges of the leaf, which may be curled. Plant may be too tall. >> Potassium (K) deficiency.

If not, keep reading…

5) a) Leaves are dark green or red/purple. Stems and petioles may have purple & red on them. Leaves may turn yellow or curl under. Leaf may drop easily. Growth may be slow and

leaves may be small. >> Phosphorous (P) deficiency.

If not, go to #6.

6) a) Tips of leaves are yellow, brown, or dead. Plant otherwise looks healthy & green. Stems may be soft >> Over-fertilization (especially N), over-watering, damaged roots, or

insufficient soil aeration (use more sand or perlite. Occasionally due to not enough N, P, or K.

If not, go to #7.

7) a) Leaves are curled under like a ram's horn, and are dark green, gray,

brown, or gold. >> Over-fertilization (too much N).

If not, go to #8…

8) a) The plant is wilted, even though the soil is moist. >>Over-fertilization, soggy soil, damaged roots, disease; copper deficiency (very unlikely).

If not, go to #9.

9) a) Plants won't flower, even though they get 12 hours of darkness for over 2 weeks. >> The night period is not completely dark. Too much nitrogen. Too much pruning or cloning.

If not, go to #10...

10) a) Leaves are yellow or white, but the veins are mostly green. >> Iron (Fe) deficiency.

If not, #11.

11) a) Leaves are light green or yellow beginning at the base, while the leaf

margins remain green. Necrotic spots may be between veins. Leaves are not twisted. >> Manganese (Mn) deficiency.

If not, #12.

12) a) Leaves are twisted. Otherwise, pretty much like #11. >> Zinc (Zn)

deficiency.

If not, #13.

13) a) Leaves twist, then turn brown or die. >> The lights are too close to the plant. Rarely, a Calcium (Ca) or Boron ( deficiency.

If not… You may just have a weak plant.

G'day Oz.

 

Like Ev says, potash. You can buy a soluble potash powder from Bunnings, cheap, then mix a soup spoon full in a 9ltr watering can and away you go. Then give it another blast in about 2 weeks and every month after that. The three nutes I rely on most are Blood and Bone, Garden Lime and Sulphate of Potash, these are the basis for every grow I do. I just add other things that are laying around, manures etc. I have a constant supply of chook shit and straw from my two chooks, this is hot stuff, but used only sparingly it's ok, and I've now got a worm farm on the go.
