Ferro nutes

Hi guys would like to say hi iv been lurking on the forum for some time now but decided to finally make an account and join the community and hoping to do future diarys.

So im using ferro nutrients a and b with all additives at full strengh. Thorough veg and start of flower i had a bad yellow patchyness going on what go worse but they are pulling through.

So could it be that i dint raise the a and b higher enough? I never went full strengh was wprried of burning them but they looked really bad in the strech they really yellowed of. As you can see now in flower the leaves are still patchy yellow between the veins.

I stayed at 1.2ec in veg and 1.4 in flower. They never really went a dark green on the leaves in veg. Really dont want this to happen again next run so i was thinkig of changing nutes next go.

Thanks. Any help would be really appropriated i am still a noob on my second grow.

Anyone? This is rattling my brain! with house and garden nutes they never went a dark green but couldnt go over 1.2 ec with out brun. Though i never had this yellow patchy bits between the veins with them.

With ferro 1.2 ec same plants they are going patchy yellow iv now gone to full strengh feed in the hope this is the issue.
Any advice atall would be great guys.

They’re shitty nutrients most likely is my guess or they don’t have the values that’s listed.

Cheers for your reply.
I was thinking that but on there site there tailer made to tap water so im thinking maybe they need a higher ec with ferro qs there dialled in. Either that or maybe i shouldn't go full strengh on the additives?

City water or well water? Do you know what’s in your water just because it’s high doesn’t mean it’s calcium. It could be iron or some other mineral.
Mine is city water mate. But i thought that beens ferro is dialled into my tap water it should account for the cal and mag in my tap no?
I tryed a feed of epsom salt and 3 days of spraying them just before i flipped and do do anything nore change anything. New grouth was still coming out patchy.
Would you advise on another nute brand? I was thinking plant magic?
House and garden i dint mind but i could only use 0.7ml a ltr allway through and grouth was slow cuz of that as they dont work well with hard warter i think

Ahh id rather stay with ferro if i can there at my hydro store here in uk and they reccomended them. Do you think il benifit with some calmag added each feed? Full strengh is now at 1.6ec so will see how they take that.

Though if i want a higher ec that means il be going above there recommend witch i find odd but im still a a new grower

Ok so iv checked the ec of the run off and it was 1.3 last fewd was about 1.4 this feed was 1.7. Including additives 1.8.

They already seem to be greening up more so hopefully this was the reason

Also when people say less is more. Does that mean the additives aswell? As the additives dont really ulter the ec apart from turpinator and pk boost. I thought additives should be added at full strengh then base to desjred ec rite?

Yah I don’t use really any additives. Great white, recharge or I brew my own worm casting tea. I use a one part nutrient from start to finish.
