Thanks for taking the time to comment, glad to hear it was helpful. If you know of others that may also benefit feel free to share the video or channel with them.
@@DeBaccoUniversity I’ve been watching all your videos today. I’ve never had to deal with any nutrient deficiencies yet. Just had fungus gnats on my first crop. It is interesting to me how everyone seems to have different things happen to them.
Nice. Another study showed that P deficient plants produced same dry weight and P is 'front loaded' early in the cycle (i.e. P application is not needed later in the grow). Might've been the same study. too long ago
Using phosphoric acid you aklmost reach P target if your base was X-0-X haha. Overfeeding P, What is target P ppm is missing in this video. Tomato, cucumber, pepper are high dli plants grown at 200-350 ppm K just like the green plant. ~40-70 ppm P is target there
Thank you again and again and again for all the concise information about all these things. I would like to grow as environmentally conscious as possible, considering hydroponics and RO water already has an impact, but I am very new to gardening and the amount that I don't know is increasingly becoming more apparent. It's very daunting. Can you point me in a direction so that I can learn about synthetic nutrients better? I understand there's different types of NPK and some of those interact better with different styles and watering strategies. I'm particularly interested in deep water culture and drain to waste using coco coir as a medium. I'm also interested in NFT for strawberries and lettuce. I'm not interested in nutrients that require bacterial life to break it down, I would much rather use plant available salts and ideally stack a lower EC input in the substrate so that I don't have to get as much runoff. I would say, "any help would be greatly appreciated", but you already have helped me out so much in the past. Anyway, thanks again, because you have a masterclass of information already available here.
If you’re growing in living soil, use seabird guano to treat a deficiency and mineralized phosphate early for your feeding program. If you reuse your soil with rock phosphate, you’ll have less deficiencies late in flower. I sometimes notice a little blue in my leaves after a major growth spurt if I’m not on top of it, especially if I’m experimenting with new products and find one that really does well.
Okay now I see what you were getting at, I did not know that phosphorus was a dwindling natural resource. I just figured we could make all we ever need. Why can't everybody be mellow and smart like you?
Although I’m sure you’re correct that people do over feed, I think that this quickly growing industry plays a large part of demand. And don’t forget the more place’s it’s legalized, the more home growing follows.
In the trial 5-gallon containers were used with watering typically twice a day. The frequency and amount is based on plant stage and environmental conditions (sunny vs cloudy day) and also media used can impact the plants required water. Feeding was continuous for six days with the seventh being a flush day to remove excessive salts. Typical target for standard feeding was 100ppm of nitrogen. Hope this helps.
Drink when thirsty ......and water your plant when dry to get that oxygen and nutes in there.......not every day....less pot is undersize I guess.......and 72 hours between watering s is sign of proper size pot.
Btw,using bloom boosters is a complete waste of money.Loading up on phosphorus during flowering does not increase floral structure.Cannabis uses the majority of phosphorus during the first few weeks after the seedling stage.
In this presentation you are seeing the results of a cannabis plant grown in a controlled greenhouse that was fed restricted (below optimum) levels of phosphorus.
@@DeBaccoUniversity I’m not retarded, no need to repeat the basics, I’ve watched the video and understood it. I was ASKIN if those I mentioned are pdef symptoms too...are them? Thx
Thank you for the informative breakdown on Phosphorus! I am experiencing what I believe to be P lockout due to high levels of Calcium in my tap water. I'm seeing purple/red stems/petioles, slow growth, and yellowing and browning of the leaves as you've mentioned. This is an organic soil grow with PH around 6.5 during watering with very light feeding in between with BioBizz nutes. My plants only show these symptoms in an indoor environment, but never outdoors. How would you recommend mitigating this potential Phosphorus issue? I'm contemplating using and flushing with RO water to reset things, but on the other hand thinking of just adding a bit more Phosphorus to balance the CA and P ratios.
Based on your description it sounds like more than a Phosphorus issue. If you are seeing it only indoors and not outdoors what is the substrate the plants are growing in and/or what is the lighting for the plants? The coloration on the stems is more likely due to other (not nutrient) stresses on the plant.
@@DeBaccoUniversity Thank you for the response! Growing indoors with straight Fox Farms OF. Spider farmer 4000 LED. 78 temp, 68 humidity in 7 gallon smart pots.

Rockwool blocks can produce large plants with a small root area, so while there may be some root stress going on this is counter acted by the irrigation events (twice daily) provided to the plants.

So... being I'm in my upper 50's, why is it todays Cannabis is nothing near what it use to be as far as strengths , compared to what we had back in the early 90's down to the 60's ? Seems most of the stuff that is sold in stores these days all smell the same, even tho there are different names on the packages ? I mean stuff we bought back in the 80's was majorly superior compared to todays stuff.... Back in the day, 3 to 6 hits was all you needed... Is it all the chemicals they grow it with today that has degraded Cannabis ?... cause it aint the same, thats for sure....
Depends on the strain you are using. There are some very potent cannabis that exists today, the key is to be sure you have supporting documentation with the product you are using from an independent lab to verify what is claimed.
@@greenteam5627 , wanna make a bet that I dont live on the west coast ? Seattle mean anything ?...hahahaha Besides, the stuff we got back in the 70's and 80's didnt need chemicals to make it grow... It was far superior compared to todays stuff...lol
@@donnyinalaska Wel, idk what circles you’re in or what you’ve been smoking man but if you live in Seattle, stop by The Reef on Cap Hill and smoke anything from Skord or High Tide. You’re literally the first and only person I’ve heard say cannabis has gotten weaker 😂 Okay man.

@@seriusb9122 What is the pH of the water/nutrient solution? What pruning method?
Starving for calcium ....because ph is too high for uptake in hydro. I take water before the water softener process.

The first pot looks far too small for the plant is it not suffering from root lock as well?
Rockwool blocks can produce large plants with a small root area, so while there may be some root stress going on this is counter acted by the irrigation events (twice daily) provided to the plants.
What are all those white spots on the upper leaf at 3:40?
The white spots are actually some thrip damage.
@@DeBaccoUniversity Spinosad destroys those little buggers.
My plant is showing this at only week 3 into flower is it normal to yellow that early on?
Sign of stress.
What is the cause of red/purple leaf petioles and upper main stalks?
Often times this can be a plant response to environmental stresses. Ex. Strong UV light exposure.
@@DeBaccoUniversity Thanks.
How do I fix this issue if I where to have this issue?
Step one is the realization and then stop adding phosphorus.
Anything new to learn about phosphorus?
Do not over add it.
