Iron Deficiency

Iron is a necessary nutrient that help plants grow tissues.

Iron is needed to help enzymes function well or for chlorophyll to synthesize properly.

Signs of Iron Deficiency

• Yellowing outside the veins of the plants leaf,veins remain green
• Young leaves show yellow from opposite tips of the leaf
• Slow growth
• Bigger leaves will start to yellow between the veins of the leaf
• Leaves will start to show signs of burnt tips
• Eventually, leaf will fall off
• Thin bud development

Solutions:

1.) Adjust pH to Correct Range

In soil, iron is best absorbed by the roots in the 6.0 - 6.5 pH range

In coco coir or hydro, iron is best absorbed by the roots in the 5.5 - 6.5 pH range

2）most plants growers don't need to add more iron in response to an iron deficiency，usually cal-mag supplement contains iron,so do not overdoes.

3）Give proper water schedule,do not over watered ,the root system is important for plants to recover from iron deficiency.
