Beautiful presentation. The explanation of "mobile", "immobile" nutrients and how this affects the progression of the deficiency is the key for diagnosis. Missing almost everywhere else.
extremely thorough & knowledgeable. just wish there were photos to accompany examples of the symptoms as you spoke. But, really quality info from a well spoken educator. Thank you!!!
Your video was exactly what I desperately needed. A million thank yous for your excellent explanations. Even I,a mere novice,can fully understand precisely what you mean. Top marks !!!
I've seen alot of comments stating that images should have been added. Though that would have been a plus I understood everything. I believe this video was for persons who already have some basic understanding of how the deficiency looks and just wanted to match them to the specific nutrient. Being a college student, I get overwhelmed with slideshow so the talking was refreshing to me. Creator, please ignore the negative comments.
Being new to hydroponics, this is a treasure of information. I did not know what was causing my lettuce to look sick but this explained it well.Thank you Ethan
Sir, this is by far one of the most comprehensive videos I have watched in this subject, and I watch from the ol' Cajun farmer (passed away now) to that fast talking Everest guy.
A note: These deficiency symptoms can also be caused by root invading (root knot) nematodes that interfere with the uptake of all essential elements. This is one reason to change the plants you grow to a new place each season. Besides planting a nematode resistant crop, when you pull out an old plant, be sure to get as much root material as you can find if the plant was infested. Do not put those roots directly into compost. One can reduce nematode populations in the soil by spreading the soil out to be exposed to the sun. I do this with the infested plants I pull out, too. I hang them on a south facing fence. In places with bad infestations, it may be best to bring in new soil and restrict planting of susceptible plants to large pots. Continue planting non susceptible plants in the soil and over time the nematode population in that area will decline.
Excellent video. I appreciate the clear explanation and even repetitiveness of this information throughout the video. As a self-taught gardener without lots of time to study this it was very helpful to me. Thanks
Part of the first step should be to check and adjust the PH of the water along with adding the nutrient if applicable. Certain nutrients lock out at different levels of PH. A well run hydroponic system's PH should fluctiate within the appropiate range so specific nutrients can be optimally absorbed. Just adding more of a specific nutrient can lock out other nutrients.
A lot of people here commenting on the lack of photos - not necessarily wrong - but this was indeed helpful. I'll agree that photos would be very helpful, or even better would be some real-world examples. I kept expecting him to pick up some of those plants on the table for reference, but they were hardly utilized.
It was a good summarised information, it clears almost all the queries about nutrient deficiency, It would be more useful if we could have look closer to the leaves
normally I watch several videos to correct or learn how to grow something or diagnose a problem. I find that your video is excellent. I do not need to go any further. I will however watch it again and write down what you have talked about. I will also go to my extension site and look for a chart. Thank You
As you were explaining about heat, Florida is a Hot State. Plants are use to this weather. I use Nitro when my plants start losing their Lust of Green. Water is a must in Florida. It can keep your out door plants from drooping. Like you said: Too much Heat can take out Iron, Calcium. I don't over water. This also can cause loss of Growth Color. It starts to turn a darkish color of brown. I don't want this. There's age, can't help this matter! Thank You for your very important need to keep Plants Happy
Such a good presentation, I feel like I just took a class. Gonna watch it again to make sure I have it locked in. Thanks for taking the time to make a thorough explanation of deficiencies. Two thumbs up!
Hi Ethan, this is by far the best video I have seen on diagnosing a plants health and how to fix it. I am growing lettuce in my basement using aquaponics and it looks like I have a slight calcium deficiency which would make sense since I have poor airflow in my basement with no fan. I am going to set a fan up to see if it clears up. The only thing that doesn't add up is that the dead spots on the tips of the leaves seem to only appear on the tips of the old growth and not the new growth, which as an immobile nutrient should be the other way around right? What are you thoughts?
Whew! That was a lot of great info! And yes, it’s a bit wordy... and I agree that side pics/vids of different plants with the same condition would be very helpful. In addition, a link to get that chart from the university would be nice and telling us what foods or natural sources offer nutrients other than just magnesium and iron. If it helps to know, some people have a sensitivity to higher voice pitches... You might consider using a mic that adds more base to your voice! That said, I really appreciate this video. Thanks fir the hard working efforts to keep us better informed!!
@@RuStOlIuM420 Thank you Tim, I keep having issues about the same time in 5th week of flower, looks like potassium deficiency or magnesium really got me baffled. I will get that book and getter figured out. Thanks Again
you talk alot, i wanna see alot of pictures while you are taling. i do like long video's with a complete explaining like you do. so plz be more awsome and add a ton of pictures
Much Respect to you Sir Walter and such as yourself...the kind of information that you are sharing is so precious and much much appreciated. Your explanations are enlightening and very relevant and practical, to this newbie in this gardening thing, you have just answered so many questions wrt to calcium deficiencies etc. May you be blessed as you are sharing knowledge of life sustainability, at no cost but with optimum results. thank you enormously
Hi Leisha, you are very welcome. We have a playlist for beginners ua-cam.com/play/PLAPahqrfGZZlwzuqaSy4lAt7vWDVhH6gi.html and some educational blogs on our website zipgrow.com/category/education/, don't forget to check them out!
This was a very thorough video on deficiencies and very good explanations of them, which is more than most do in their videos. But one thing I have yet to see anywhere is a 'completely' thorough and very specific "show-and-tell". Just like if it were a study done at a University or a science project. Where if you have a few examples of a control crop with no deficiencies, a very healthy plant. Then you have a couple of the same type of crops of each deficiency, that were purposely insufficient or withdrawn from the feeding schedule. (e.g. one crop purposely given insufficient amounts of Nitrogen, another insufficient amounts of Mag, etc.) This way you would have a few examples that were very specific and apparent. Also, where some of the examples would have multiple deficiencies that are common together do to lock-out, such as a pH lock-out or other. I feel that video would easily get millions of views and become the "go-to" for everyone who has questions in the subject. Just sayin :)
Thanks for the Very informative video. I learned more in this 1 video than countless other videos promoting the product of the day. Much Appreciated Mr.
Necro post warning: I want to compliment you for your nail hygiene, Your hands and nails look so much more cleaner and better than on the other videos.
Hello there great informative video👍🏻 Any deficiency chart or a why to narrow toxicity-down to be able to correct? Your the best and keep up the greatness and let’s make 2020 a healthy/productive/profitable🙏🏻 LETS GET IT!
You should mention that nutrient deficiencies are not always a lack-of/over-abundance of said nutrient! Usually the problem is improper ph, or over/under watering. Which will damage your roots, disabling their ability to absorb the proper nutrients you already have in your soil/grow-medium
@@ZipGrowInc Yes Sir! I feel like fertilizer companies don't tell that side of it simply to sell more & different fertilizer products. I can't say that's it. Idk why that info is hard to find unless specifically searched for. But at least for me, it (I don't think I've ever lost a plant simply to a nutrient deficiency.) I believe it's always been a simple pH issue.
thanks sooo much! i have an aerogarden and all of a sudden my basil started turning yellow with tiny spots. theyhave been no help diagnosing what to do. now at least i have somewhere to start!!!!
As you explain and say all those big words. Maybe you could include a picture of such big word as it pertains to the plant by showing the picture of multiple plants with the big word and how many different ways the plant could receive the big word and different stages of development back to healthy plants. Just me though. I'm sure everyone else is fine with your explanation. I'm one of those talk, walk, do it, all at the same time type of people. That's it. You could tag the vid with what kind of person can relate to the way the message is given.
Great Video! My theoretical knowledge of various deficiencies has greatly increased. However just by looking at a leaf, I don't think I will be able to diagnose the type of deficiencies. I wish you had shown several pictures as illustrations,
Thank you so much for your time in this video. I love the information I will be using it going forward with my little lot of personal citrus trees. I am curious if you by chance have an example for a Nutrient deficient diagnosis key you could share. I would love to see what you have so I can implementing on my end and modify or adjust as necessary for my conditions and situation.
Hello Michael! We are working on an updated nutrient deficiency key, the challenge has been that these deficiencies can manifest differently in different species so we are currently working on something a bit more intuitive. Stay tuned, and thanks for watching!
You know a lot and you explain it good, but I would love to see a ton of clips and pics to visualize what you say. You have heard about podcasts, this is the place where this 'video' should be found.
my plants are showing yellowing o new growth and some necrosis. My guess is iron deficiency as this is immobile deficient and since they are outdoor not calcium because they get enough breeze. On the 3 immobile deficiencies you only mention 2 of them, iron, calcium, what is 3rd? Great vid. Subscribed...!
Hey Rajin, Usually this is because of overwatering or not enough Calcium as a result of overwatering, I would try letting the plant dry more between waterings and use an all purpose fertilizer, if it is in hydroponics consider increasing the Calcium Nitrate dosage
Ok, so for weeks I've been having problems with my in ground produce garden (a melange of nutrient defficiencies), my potted plants on my backyard deck (in the second best area for full sun on my property, but not enough sun. I had to quarantine them due to what I think is spider mites that I cannot get rid of short of plant genocide. This is why they're in the lesser sun light area to begin with). I've been scouring the internet, watching gardening tip, vlogs, reading published university journals, and (like you mention in this video) have been chasing phantom trails only to find a dead end or a new trail along the way. I'm more of a science and practical application of cause and effect kind of person (with some what of an artistic flair) and have never had so many issues gardening (my parents raised us on their hip and a basket full of garden veg in the other, but I'm admittedly only truly exploring in further detail as of 3 summers now, the first two of which I had no problems other than the raccoons and deer eating my melons and beans last year. Anyway, the point is that after about a month of gardening trials and tribulations, and reading the entire internet, I've arrived at this 24 min video that has given me clear straightforward, and valuable information that has answered just about every question I've had and gave a direct solution for each issue. My main concern is that the damage might be too much and the solutions too late. I also don't have any 'ponics systems, only dirt, both in ground and potted. I understand that a diffiiciency is the same no matter the growing medium, but I wonder how the application of the solution differs for native & potted soil plants. Also, spider mites. WTF?! I've tried all I know to and even the local nursery is stumped. I've tried gone down the list of solutions in vain. • 1 • Water Blast Worked at first, but I could only do it so often without water logging the potted soil, and spider mites hatch basically every day. • 2 • Dawn Dish Soap + Clove + Lemon Oil +H²O Again, the water played a factor as well as not wanting to burn the plants so I could only spray every 5 days. Worked at first and thinned out the herd until they came back in force. • 3 • Pure Neem Oil Extract + H²O Same, water, also drove off the predators of the mites allowing them to repopulate unhindered while also slightly burning the plants but not enough to drop leaves. Just make them slightly translucent in random spots on leaves, ringed with chlorosis and in some cases crispy brown necrosis. At this point I turned away from the internet and went to the best local nursery that is like family having been going there for all 32 years of my life. My homegirl aka The Green Goddess immediately pointed at Captain Jack's Dead Bug Brew Liquid Concentrate. • 4 • Captain Jack's Dead Bug Brew + H²O Basically the exact same results as the Need oil with a few minor differences. It's been 13 days and they haven't fully repopulated like before. The webbing and total visual confirmations of mites has significantly reduced, comparatively anyway, but it really hurt my plants to the point that most only have a few leaves even though I followed the directions on the bottle to a T. I'm afraid to do it again. & Last but not least, Captain Planet's fourth activation element. . . 🔥 😂🤣😂. Our powers combined. . may just be the answer, but so far I'm still seeing new webbing every night, but is seemingly becoming less. I just take a stick lighter (or BBQ lighter) and inspect every cage, pot, plant, & anything near and /or, in, on or around each plant with a flashlight in the middle of the night and burn every bit of webbing with a tiny beige dot hovering in space I can find. Yes, yes I know what all the TubeTrolls are just dying to type with their gnarled, hairy knuckled paws, "but what about the friendly helpful non pest spiders?! You're just going to destroy their homes?!" The only thing I can say is, you get a spider mite infestation on, under , around your back deck that is home to 50+ (FIFTY!!), 30yr or older tropical plants, 20 or so peppers, 4 ancestral heirloom tomatoes, and is less than a hundred yards away from your main produce garden (that hasn't been infected) in a place that is quite windy in spring. (spidermites are Uber efficient wind sailers btw.) Then we can have a discussion about not burning all the webbing when that happens to you. So there it is. That was quite a tangent, that wasn't initially the point of this comment. The point WAS in fact to say thanks for this video. As you can see I've been having quite a difficult growing season and I now believe it to all be due to nutrient defficiencies that I previously misdiagnosed as bacterial or fungal issues. I've also built a compost pallet box near the garden so I can be better prepared for next year. Any advice on how to turn a lot with East Texas Red Clay 10 inches deep heavily laden with pine roots into a nutrient rich soil ready for planting?...without a backhoe or tractor tiller? Lmao
i was hoping that at least by 20 mins that the calcium def explanation was more relating to outdoor plants, i can deduct some info out of it still as it's a good video of course.
I looked on the university of Montana website and couldn't find it. There's a picture of one but when you click it a bunch of other stuff comes up. He should provide the link!
Great video. This is the video I saw so far that discuss in detail what the deficiencies are and what they look like. I just realize I have most of the deficiencies mentioned here in my latest harvest. I have a question. Is thickening of the leaves a sign of a deficiency? I found that my latest aragula feel thicker or tougher to touch than normal.
Hi Stephen, Thickening of leaves is not generally considered a sign of deficiency. It would be more associated with environmental conditions. When plants are stressed or exposed to extremes they'll respond by forming a thicker cuticle in order to protect their cells.
Hello from the Philippines! Thanks for this informative video. Can I share this in the various Facebook Pages of Growers here in the country? Thanks again!
Great job!! Thanks for sharing. I just got started on hydroponic lettuces and I noticed their leafs got some little brown dots, what could be happening? Is everything ok? Should I worry?
Start an auto seed in half pint pot with seed compost. When plant is ready knock out of Pot and put into large pot of hanging basket compost. Use fish blood and bone when it flowers. Water it when it needs it.
Beautiful presentation. The explanation of "mobile", "immobile" nutrients and how this affects the progression of the deficiency is the key for diagnosis. Missing almost everywhere else.
As I watched, I paused your video and went out to the garden and saw two maybe three deficiencies. Thanks for taking the time to go in so much detail.
extremely thorough & knowledgeable. just wish there were photos to accompany examples of the symptoms as you spoke. But, really quality info from a well spoken educator. Thank you!!!

Sir, this is by far one of the most comprehensive videos I have watched in this subject, and I watch from the ol' Cajun farmer (passed away now) to that fast talking Everest guy.
This is the best video I’ve seen on this subject, so much detail about differentiating the types of deficiencies- thank you!
I agree. I would have also liked to hear how these deficiencies can be related to PH.
A note:
These deficiency symptoms can also be caused by root invading (root knot) nematodes that interfere with the uptake of all essential elements. This is one reason to change the plants you grow to a new place each season. Besides planting a nematode resistant crop, when you pull out an old plant, be sure to get as much root material as you can find if the plant was infested.

I simply dont have the words to express my impression. This is the real deal.
Part of the first step should be to check and adjust the PH of the water along with adding the nutrient if applicable. Certain nutrients lock out at different levels of PH. A well run hydroponic system's PH should fluctiate within the appropiate range so specific nutrients can be optimally absorbed. Just adding more of a specific nutrient can lock out other nutrients.
Perhaps a video on how pH effects deficiencies.
Yes, please!

he just wants to rant forever.

thanks for this video. I grow a traditional garden (soil), and have been looking for a video just like this one, to explain deficiencies in depth.
Hi Ethan, this is by far the best video I have seen on diagnosing a plants health and how to fix it.

Hi,
Very interesting article, I must say. My pimento is flowering, but the branchs' tips dying off. What must I do?
Hey Rajin, Usually this is because of overwatering or not enough Calcium as a result of overwatering, I would try letting the plant dry more between waterings and use an all purpose fertilizer, if it is in hydroponics consider increasing the Calcium Nitrate dosage

Anyway, the point is that after about a month of gardening trials and tribulations, and reading the entire internet, I've arrived at this 24 min video that has given me clear straightforward, and valuable information that has answered just about every question I've had and gave a direct solution for each issue. My main concern is that the damage might be too much and the solutions too late. I also don't have any 'ponics systems, only dirt, both in ground and potted. I understand that a diffiiciency is the same no matter the growing medium, but I wonder how the application of the solution differs for native & potted soil plants. Also, spider mites. WTF?! I've tried all I know to and even the local nursery is stumped. I've tried gone down the list of solutions in vain.
• 1 • Water Blast
Worked at first, but I could only do it so often without water logging the potted soil, and spider mites hatch basically every day.
• 2 • Dawn Dish Soap + Clove + Lemon Oil +H²O
Again, the water played a factor as well as not wanting to burn the plants so I could only spray every 5 days. Worked at first and thinned out the herd until they came back in force.
• 3 • Pure Neem Oil Extract + H²O
Same, water, also drove off the predators of the mites allowing them to repopulate unhindered while also slightly burning the plants but not enough to drop leaves. Just make them slightly translucent in random spots on leaves, ringed with chlorosis and in some cases crispy brown necrosis.
At this point I turned away from the internet and went to the best local nursery that is like family having been going there for all 32 years of my life. My homegirl aka The Green Goddess immediately pointed at Captain Jack's Dead Bug Brew Liquid Concentrate.
• 4 • Captain Jack's Dead Bug Brew + H²O
Basically the exact same results as the Need oil with a few minor differences. It's been 13 days and they haven't fully repopulated like before. The webbing and total visual confirmations of mites has significantly reduced, comparatively anyway, but it really hurt my plants to the point that most only have a few leaves even though I followed the directions on the bottle to a T. I'm afraid to do it again.
& Last but not least, Captain Planet's fourth activation element. . . 🔥 😂🤣😂. Our powers combined. . may just be the answer, but so far I'm still seeing new webbing every night, but is seemingly becoming less. I just take a stick lighter (or BBQ lighter) and inspect every cage, pot, plant, & anything near and /or, in, on or around each plant with a flashlight in the middle of the night and burn every bit of webbing with a tiny beige dot hovering in space I can find. Yes, yes I know what all the TubeTrolls are just dying to type with their gnarled, hairy knuckled paws, "but what about the friendly helpful non pest spiders?! You're just going to destroy their homes?!" The only thing I can say is, you get a spider mite infestation on, under , around your back deck that is home to 50+ (FIFTY!!), 30yr or older tropical plants, 20 or so peppers, 4 ancestral heirloom tomatoes, and is less than a hundred yards away from your main produce garden (that hasn't been infected) in a place that is quite windy in spring. (spidermites are Uber efficient wind sailers btw.) Then we can have a discussion about not burning all the webbing when that happens to you.
So there it is. That was quite a tangent, that wasn't initially the point of this comment. The point WAS in fact to say thanks for this video. As you can see I've been having quite a difficult growing season and I now believe it to all be due to nutrient defficiencies that I previously misdiagnosed as bacterial or fungal issues. I've also built a compost pallet box near the garden so I can be better prepared for next year. Any advice on how to turn a lot with East Texas Red Clay 10 inches deep heavily laden with pine roots into a nutrient rich soil ready for planting?...without a backhoe or tractor tiller? Lmao
Excellent video,very informative. Thank you so much.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge. It is a nice resource!
i was hoping that at least by 20 mins that the calcium def explanation was more relating to outdoor plants, i can deduct some info out of it still as it's a good video of course.
wonderful and simple explanation of deficiency in plants....thanks for the awesome video
Thank you! Very good information.
Glad it was helpful! Be sure to subscribe if you haven't already so you don't miss any new content. Thanks for watching!
Very informative and details.
I will use your tips in my garden.
Hi, great info! I was wondering if you have a deficiency key available?
You find a good one?
I looked on the university of Montana website and couldn't find it. There's a picture of one but when you click it a bunch of other stuff comes up. He should provide the link!
Very good info - I have never had any problems with plants since I started using compost and my own worm casting plus epsom salt. Cheers man!
Epsom salts can kill all the microbes and fungi in your compost and castings bro that'll ruin your plants
thank you.
Nice info.
it would be a better example if the were autoflowers
Thank you for your feedback. Happy growing!
This is the best summary I've seen by miles. Thank you
Could you post the link to the Montana State University Nutrient Deficiency Key?
Great video. This is the video I saw so far that discuss in detail what the deficiencies are and what they look like. I just realize I have most of the deficiencies mentioned here in my latest harvest.
I have a question. Is thickening of the leaves a sign of a deficiency? I found that my latest aragula feel thicker or tougher to touch than normal.
Hi Stephen, Thickening of leaves is not generally considered a sign of deficiency. It would be more associated with environmental conditions. When plants are stressed or exposed to extremes they'll respond by forming a thicker cuticle in order to protect their cells.
@@ZipGrowInc Thank you very much for you answer!
Hello from the Philippines! Thanks for this informative video. Can I share this in the various Facebook Pages of Growers here in the country? Thanks again!
Wow! Incredible knowledge resource...he is! Keep up the good work!
Thanks so much. Glad you enjoyed the video!
Mad Respect!!! Very insightful, thank you!
Glad it was helpful Cheyenne!
Great job!! Thanks for sharing. I just got started on hydroponic lettuces and I noticed their leafs got some little brown dots, what could be happening? Is everything ok? Should I worry?
Excellent tutorial. Thanks for sharing!
Fantastic info! Thank you for sharing your knowledge with the rest of the world.
This is an excellent video - Thank you! I am looking at the educational version that you sell.
Man, lots of info,Some pics will really help!
Excellent info from obviously a professor,
Start an auto seed in half pint pot with seed compost. When plant is ready knock out of Pot and put into large pot of hanging basket compost. Use fish blood and bone when it flowers. Water it when it needs it.
You did not talk about PH adjustment of solution and it’s effect on nutrient uptake
wouldnt that depend on the plant at hand?
much like the basil with iron deficiency, which grows at 5-6 ph
