Do i need to flush? Please help. She is sick.

[SnucksOG]

Hey IC. I just posted two days ago asking if the purpling is bad... And people said it should be okay.

- post from 2 days ago === https://www.icmag.com/ic/showthread.php?t=338458

But two of my best girls are taking a turn from the worse. One is showing yellowing on the fan leaf blades and facing down and the other.... She looks like she doesn't have long of it doesn't get fixed. No new growth since the purpling has shown up. Pics below. Please help. I will flush as soon as I get a confirm. Just got some recharge in the mail as Well. Should I feed with it after flush? I heard its amazing for roots and will get them working better. Please help. This is my first grow and I'm scared for these ladies

First two pics are of #1 Lemon Walker OG. Next two pics are of #2 Lemon Walker OG and last picture is of #1 Blue Cheese....

#2 Blue Cheese which was a runt seem to be doing fine... Praying toward the light and everything..
Everyone else is steadily decling

I mean between 30 and 40 rh and temps with lights on between 72 and 82 depending on time of day with light on. Gets as low as like 64 at lights out.

What are you using for water?

I'm using only FF OF mixed with 15% perlite. 1.5 months into veg and just flipped to flower yesterday. 6 plants under 1 600 watt light with an area of about 4' x 4.5'.

Not a single sign of wilting or deficiency here. I seriously doubt plants that small are lacking anything they can't get from straight Fox Farms Ocean Forest.

At the same time, I'm not a professional(yet) so take what I say with a grain of salt.

To me, your symptoms are very similar to my own when I was using my garbage tap water, way to hard and loaded with chlorine. It also looks like you have a hint of erratic watering.

Make sure you are using reverse osmosis, spring or distilled water. Cannabis also like to be more towards the dry side before watering so error on the side of under watering opposed to overwatering. rule of thumb for me is if you can stick your index finger in to the halfway point between your first and second knuckle and not feel dampness it's time to water. From there simply feeling the weight of the container once you have more experience.

foxfarm isnt the end all be all that simple everybody would do, besides foxfarm is crap. aside from that his foxfarm soil may be quite different from yours depending on what part of country it was purchased. they acquire the amendments for theyre soil locally, so depending on the soil type in your region is what your particular bag was purchased is whats going to make up the npk. a bag on east coast may not have as much calcium and magnesium say as a bag bought on the west coast. now if you know the symptoms of magnesium deficiency then it would be obvious what his problem is. please explain why you think his soil (foxfarm) has everything he needs when there is blatantly something going on. explain his problem can please? if not stop giving partial incorrect advice.

PEACE!

if op runs his soil too dry too often it will exhibit deficiences, most often calcium and magnesium with calcium usually showing first since its an immobial element. also i see an air air pot which usually dries really fast due to the air exchange. so if his medium is constantly dry or overly dry for long periods his plants can exhibit a lack of vigor, root problems plus a long list of other problems.

PEACE!

Dirt looks dry plants look thirsty. If you let soil dry out you will cause all sorts of problems with roots.

 

[mdgg4]

also i have plants that are in soil, been a coco grower for a long time. tried ff, crap, if your cheap like me and want spectacular results still i recommend dr. earth brand potting soil for tomatoes and vegetables. hands down better soil than ff and its omri certified which ffof isnt. also use the same fertilizer tomatoe and vegetable, both together is good shit. i also amend with lime and soft rock phosphate, tappin roots brand. my plants i also had in ffof showed problems thats why i gave op my personal advice. oh yeah, i use tap water

this plant was grown with dr. earth, homedepot brand. GG#5

PEACE!

I agree with this.
Smart pots have their own learning curve to get over.

 

[Floridian]

I agree also looks like thirsty plants to me.Also I cant say enough about using an R/O filter,it was a game changer for me.The amount of calcium in my tapwater was locking out magnesium.My dogs water bowl would be calcified in a weeks time

I use RO water and I feed water when I stick my water in and feel no dampness
