I finally figured out what was wrong with my baby girl. She has a severe potassium deficency and i need to fix her. I need to buy whatever i need so if anyone knows something from home depot or lowes that would be great.

Could always look in the grow faqs....

There ya go....



Potassium
Potassium serves to aid in the process of photosynthesis, nutrient uptake, respiration, and is a key to sturdy stems and disease resistance. Having an adequate supply for the plant early in it?s life stage will keep your seedlings from falling over.

Potassium deficiencies are identified by necrosis on the margins of larger fan leaves. Necrotic patches can be seen on the leaves as well. Leaves will eventually turn yellow, brown and die off. Most of the plants that show signs of a Potassium deficiency are going to be the tallest and best looking plants you have.

Again, feeding with a good all-around fertilizer will clear it up as well.

You can also use wood ashes and water them into your soil to fix this. You'll need to replace your soil's holding capacity of Potassium, and have a surplus before it will become available to the roots again.

alot of mistake people do is that look at the symtoms and see the defiency, and then they go to add more of that nutrient which causes unstable amount of certain nutrients in the res. Before fixing the problem make sure that your ph is correct, if your ph isn't correct then that certain nute isn't avialable for the plant to uptake it. Goodluck

Mine are outside I ain't havin no probs but how do u tell ph anyway.I hear about it all the time but am clueless....please fill me in.

I"m beginning to wonder if most problems aren't ph oriented and misinterpreted as some sort of defiency or overdose.

Could be...I'm still pretty new to this but I read up and listen to people alot.

I'm guessing theororetically since certain nutrients are only available to a plant at different PH levels and imbalance is gradual as you leave the specific PH range. This causing the belief that you need to add more of something, in turn causing salt buildup and immenent lockout. IDK, what do i know?

Well u do seem to have knowledge of ph which is more than myself.
