Hi all, i would like for this thread to help growers identify problems with deficiencies or Nutrient burn/lockdown.

please feel free to post advise on how you diagnose your plants or attach a chart that may be useful for others to use. 

Being a new indoor grower myself i have run into this issue a few times already and even though the guys on the forums are very helpful. It is still best to understand and know how to identify these issues. 

Also both these issues can be caused by PH imbalance, so always, before making adjustments to feeding or even flushing, CHECK YOUR PH to ensure it is at the correct ph for your medium.

i found these charts to help me best diagnose my plants, hope they help for you guys too.

happy growing.

Thanx man. 

Word of advice, something i wish i knew earlier. 

When feeding ur plants, pay attention to PH, EC and PPM. 

It makes a huge difference if you keep these within the proper range for current life cycle of the plant. I only figured this out around week3 and within days i could see increase in growth.

the pics below was before i started monitoring EC and PPM more or less a week apart. All the plants grew.

Also defoliated them all

      Tap Water Information South Africa
      By biird
      Here's a report I got from Rand Water/Tshwane Water and Sanitation for June 2020. Is this water hard or soft? Should I go with GHE Flora Trio/TA TriPart for Hard Water, Soft Water or just the standard formulation? Also, would I need to add any CalMag?
      For organic growers, note the use of Chloramine..

      New grower. Coco or organic soil?
      By Jedi Messiah
      Hey guys, Completely new to growing. thrown a few seeds around to see what they do in the past, but never followed through.
      was hoping you guys could give me some advice, I'm planning an outdoor grow for this season, don't plan on investing too much, around R1500. the issue is I'm really unsure of which route I should go.
      Coco or organic soil. I've been looking into it, and the coco option is really appealing to me, but it seems daunting, and expensive for what i had in mind, and the organic option seems fine, but I'm not aiming for "fine".
       
      I made two separate lists for whichever grow I decide on.
      Coco perlite hortimix a,b and mpk (from hydroponics.co.za) 3x 20l Fabric pots (although I've read around 11l pots are good enough for coco) found a very inexpensive tds and ph meter combo on bid or buy, its the same model the hydro stores stock for around  400. some calmag, ph up & down and then the organics list is not as comprehensive, because I went down the coco rabbit hole.
      soil (obviously) considering the freedom farms premium blend, or the hydroherb promix organic which is 50l for around R300, but i cant find enough information on the ingredients, also found something called orgasoilux. 3x 20l Fabric pots maybe some perlite?
      all the potting mixes I've seen, say they feed for s short time, so which nutrients does one add after that period? would some vermicompost do? or would i be better off going for the hortimix combo as it can be used in organic soil too, but then the water has to be ph'd to make it available to the plant.

      basically I'm really keen on the coco, because I'm looking for quantity and quality bud, but I don't want to invest too much, and be too inexperienced to actually get a good yield, or even worse kill the plants. does anyone use the hortimix a,b and mpk, is it simple?
      I'm planning on getting some feminized seeds too. the royal gorilla, silver haze and utopic haze. will they do alright in our climate? can anyone suggest some good strains for outdoor container growing? whats the best local seedbank? any that have a no germinating return policy? thinking of going with biltong and buds or cannasmiths, thoughts?
      any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated.
