I have been growing for about 8 years. All of a sudden i started to get problems with yellowing leaves from the bottom up and stunted growth (mainly yellowing leaves). Eventually the leaves that were not yellow started to turn a light green until they turned yellow too and of course the plants died. I had some pretty good crops up to about 2 years ago and i am growing the same way. I don't know what is screwing up. I have tried everything.
The worst part is i am a medical marijuana user (for depression) and now i got no medicine. Pot works extremely well on my depression. I function perfectly when i have it. Marijuana makes the difference between a very high quality of life for me and a very very low quality so right now things are really fucked for me and i have just been having a ton of bad luck. Lost my job. My wife died a year ago. It's fucking got me really down but i was able to manage as long as i had my pot once a day in the evening.
Is there some really easy way to grow pot that is almost foolproof because i have tried everything trying to grow using the soiless method.
This is how i was growing.
Soiless mix made up of 75% peat and 25% perlite with 3 tablespoons of lime added for each gallon of mix. Light source was a 250 watt HPS in an air cooled hood. The exhaust blower cools the lamp and exhausts the closet so the temps are about 78 degrees. I grew Nirvana white widow. I watered with rain water i collect. I adjusted the pH to about 6 to 6.5 using General Hydroponics pH down. I used General Hydroponics pH test drops to adjust the nutrient solution. I adjusted till the color in the test vial was yellow. I used Miracle Grow ferts. All purpose ferts for veg phase and bloom ferts for flower phase. I have read everything i can find and i can't figure out what i am doing wrong.
Should i give up on the soiless way of growing and try soil. I've heard that is an easier way to grow but i have never grown in soil so i don't know.
If anybody can tell me what is wrong or can tell me about a real simple way to grow i sure would appreciate it. If you need more info on how i grew just ask but i think i covered it fairly well. Why do people say this is an easy plant to grow ? I have been having nothing but trouble no matter what i do
