Nutrient Block of Cannabis
Nutrient Block of Cannabis done
Nutrient blockage occurs when:
- 1️⃣ You don't control the pH level
- 2️⃣ When you water with a higher dose of nutrients
- 3️⃣ Pour some compotes, without spilling water. This is a 100% way to catch a block, tested on yourself .
- 4️⃣ When to pour the plant
When your plants are unable to absorb nutrients, they begin to show deficiency symptoms.
As a result, plant growth will slow down, the leaves will develop shortages and eventually they will die .
WHAT IS A BLOCK
This is when the necessary macro and micronutrients are present in the medium, but your plant cannot absorb them because the medium is too saturated or the pH is not correct. This can happen in all types of environments and your plant will start to show signs of a nutrient deficiency.
This is a very common problem faced by beginner growers who have misconceptions about watering and feeding.
It is also possible when using a new brand of fertilizers, and especially mineral ones.
Nutrient blockage will prevent the plant from absorbing the nutrients it needs to thrive, and this can eventually kill the plants if you don't figure out what's wrong with them.
THE REASONS
1️⃣ Incorrect Ph level
The pH level is what determines what nutrients your plant is able to absorb, so it's important to check not only the pH of your nutrient solution, but also the medium you're growing in.
The pH level varies depending on the environment you are growing in and can only be measured with a pH meter. You need it if you want to avoid problems, although you can grow cannabis without it, but it will be much more difficult for you to figure out what is wrong.
PS Starting the first grow without a psh meter is an extremely stupid decision.
2️⃣ Accumulation of nutrients in the environment
Because nutrients are minerals, an excess of nutrients in the medium can increase the pH and this can interfere with nutrient uptake.
To avoid this, spill the pot with water after every SECOND compote.
Organic fertilizers will also help reduce the risks, which you need to be especially gifted to doze.
SYMPTOMS:
Determining a blockage is quite difficult, as the symptoms will be the same as with an overdose or nutritional deficiency, for example:
- ❗Weak plants
- ❗Stunting
- ❗Yellowing leaves
- ❗ Curling leaves
- Example of a block, psh soil 7.3
And after 6 days:
Watering and drainage.
To make sure your plants are suffering from nutrient blockage and not something else, you should first check the soil pH level from a drain or nutrient solution.
✅ It is necessary to spill the pot with a large (until it flows from the bottom) volume of water with the correct psh.
✅ Then, with a syringe, collect the water that has flowed from the bottom of the pot into a mug and measure with a psh meter.
Drainage solution has a pH level equal to the soil level, so if it rises too high, it means that nutrients have accumulated in the environment.
HOW TO NOT ALLOW?
1. ALWAYS ADJUST PH WHEN WATERING
Depending on the environment you are growing indoor cannabis strains in , you will need to check the pH daily or at every watering.
In hydroponics, the roots are directly in the nutrient solution, so you should check it a couple of times a day.
On the ground and it is necessary to adjust the fsh with EVERY WATERING.
To adjust the pH, you need to buy pH Up or pH Down.
You can adjust it with folk remedies using lemon juice (reduce pH) or baking soda (increase pH). But psh in such a solution will not be stable.
2. ORGANICS
To prevent blockage, you can use organics, which, unlike synthetic fertilizers, make the nutrients available to the plant when they need it.
If you want to continue using mineral fertilizers, make sure you are using good quality nutrients and always check the pH and nutrient dosage. In most cases, the recommended dosage in the table is critical.
If you do not know what kind of fertilizer - do not pour the entire dose.
FLUSHING
DO NOT POUR MORE TWO COMPOTES IN A RING.
ALWAYS SPILL WITH WATER.
WHAT TO DO IF YOU CATCH A BLOCK?
❗ RINSE WITH A LARGE VOLUME OF WATER from 5 liters
Depending on the amount of nutrients in the medium, it may take several washes to completely remove them, so you will need to measure the pH of the medium or effluent until it is correct.
If you don't have a pH meter, then you will have to do this until your plant is back to normal.
Rinsing water should be pH adjusted, depending on the environment you are growing in.
Optimum pH level for irrigation on the ground:
- First 5 days 5.8 -5.9
- Vega 6 - 6.3
- Pre-flower 6.3 - 6.5
- Color 6.5 - 6.8
- To Harv 6.8 - 7
IN CUSTODY:
Overfeeding and incorrect pH levels of the solution and medium is the most common problem for beginners along with overflow.
So make sure you water and feed your plants properly.
