Deficiencies

Young leaves show interveinal chlorosis – the tissue between veins turns yellow while veins remain green. Severe cases can cause leaves to turn almost white.

Looks like this

  • Interveinal chlorosis on young leaves (yellow tissue, green veins)
  • Newest growth almost white in severe cases
  • Older leaves remain green

Solve it with Vitaponix

VitaSweet

VitaSweet →

Designed for LED growing: increases chlorophyll production and the use of magnesium and iron. 1 ml/L, weeks 3–8.

VitaBase

VitaBase →

Growth-phase base nutrient, 2–6 ml/L in weeks 1–6. Strongly reduces the need to flush mid-cycle.

How to fix it

  • Bring pH back into the chart range of 5.8–6.3 to free up iron
  • Apply a chelated iron supplement or a balanced micro-nutrient feed
  • Improve drainage and root zone temperature

Why it happens

  • High pH (above 6.5) locking out iron
  • Excess phosphorus or zinc reducing iron uptake
  • Cold or waterlogged root zone

Prevent it

  • Keep pH stable and within range
  • Use a complete base nutrient containing chelated micronutrients
  • Avoid overwatering and cold reservoirs
