[purple black skunk] this is about 3 -4wks. in flowering[8-12 wks veg.]. i plant in mg soil and usally add nothing during veg. i use fox farm tiger bloom 2 teaspoons per gallon and big bloom 2 table spoons per gallon for 2 waterings and then water,ph adjusted [first 2 waterings i use 4 table spoons big grow].also i use epson salt about every 2 watering or so.if you need any other info ask and i'll try to answer.this is going to be a pretty plant if you all can help me fix it!!! also put 5 gallons of ph adjusted water though it today just in case and run off seemed ok. thanks for all your help.peace

You might want to wait for Stitch to check it out...but you wouldn't happen to know your PH would you? In your first picture of your plant some of your big fan leaves are twisting and some of the smaller leaves are showing that as well. Usually not all the times it is related to PH imbalance swinging from really high to wherever. Those PH adjustor's may not be doing your plants any justice, just confusing them. The spotting could also be caused from PH imbalance or again something else.

But it also sounds like your putting alot of stuff into your soil...thats just my two cents.

looks like phosphorus deficiency to me...hows it going buzzed day?...any more innovativeness in the room?...peace

How often are you watering? Looks like root rot to me.

 

[buzzed day]

hello all,first i think it is a deficiency.i ran 5 gallons though and it came out good looking and ph balanced.2nd water when dry and good drainage in planters.will look up phosphorus deficiency again but not sure thats it.will go check.peace

Root rot is extremley rare in soil and there is no way to tell if you have it; but i will tell you your plant is not showing moisture stress so there is no way you have root rot....

Dude, you are loading your plants with a ton of nutrients; how often are you feeding that plant??

I would not use no where near that amount of grow in flowering; they stunt the plants and slow down flowering production; you should be using 1/2 teaspoon per gallon
and since you are using so much bloom products I would not be using no more than 1 tsp per gallon of each weekly.

WHat size pots are those in? You should be flushing your plants with a lot of water; but I ned to know the size of the pot before I can tell you how much, because you need to use 2x the amount of water to the size of the pot.

Your plant is way to small for that amount of nutrients; if you were using a plant metabolizer that would be different; but your not so you are slamming them with a ton of nutrients; the leaves are showing built up salt damage from left over stuff sitting in the soil too long.

Think about it; it;s not a P deficiency. you are using a ton of bloom ferts with have plenty of it; you have an excess of P which is causing a toxcity.

When did you flush your plants with 5 gallons of water.......

Your also using pH adjusters; which kind are you using to adjust it?
Using to much to close together will cause a problem; if you pH adjust every water you will get a buildup and will case the soil to become to acidic; you only want to adjust it when you feed thats it as long as the pH adjuster you are using is considered stable... lemon juice and vinegar is not considered stable and will give false results. It's ok to use it temp; but not for a stand alone pH down.

hello MynameStich, i did 5 gallons this morning.came out at 5.5-6.5 yellow by my test kit.i use ph up and down i buy from store. i can't remember the name but colours are blue and i think orange.yes this plant may not handle it as good as the other's. when i do the 2 chem. watering no ph adjuster need.ok i'll try a few more gallons though it when light comes on.
3 gallons tubs so i need 9 gallons water.just wasn't sure why or what was amatter but usally a flush helps.rest of plants look good but will look at them.i'm glad your still on here,i have your page saved in outllook but still looking for it in downloadable form. hope this helps and thanks.will mark plants.peace

Fox Farms Tiger Bloom drops Ph like a rock at the recamended 2 tsp. dose.


For my area - 1 tsp per gal. drops 7.0 ph down to 6.0-6.1 - so I water about all the time with 1/2 strength nutes. - (well, while they need nutes - that is) A couple tablespoons of Dolomite lime helps - a little - I'm still scared to go full strength with TB


Sometimes less really is more.

Big Bloom, on the other hand, is usually safe for even young seedlings. - At moderate doses

 

[MynameStitch]

Which mg are you using, the organic or the pre fert continious feeding for up to 3 months?

If it's up to 3 months; your most definatly got burn problems; like solar said fox farm products do drop your pH a lot too; which is another reason I said to flush out that excess of nutrients.

Wrong. If your curious about root rot, take the plant out of the pot and look at the roots.
Brown roots = bad
White roots = good

Nice try BV, get some growing experience first before you come around trying to be possing as a girl; get a life dude.

Since when do you ever see brown roots in a pot? Like I said before the plant is NOT showing moisture stress which tells me his roots are going to be white; bad roots are going to affected the plant not few parts of the plant; he is over feeding his plant; why don't you go do a few grows under your belt before you come in here and try to say who is wrong and who is right?

I said root rot is rare in soil I did not say it's not possible which it very much is.... but I know what root rot can do to the plant in both soil and hydro and his plant is FAR from showing any signs of root rot.

You know damn well I know what color good roots and bad roots look like; don't patronize me! You would be the last person on this planet I would ask for help from.
Why don't you go get a better job? Than being a so called undercover cop trying to act like a grower? Cause you suck at it!

I would not remove the plant from the pot, if the plant has not rooted most of the pot to hold the soil ball completely together you may rip roots when you pull it from the pot to check the roots.

Don't listen to lady 420/BV bullshit advice; the dude is possibly a cop who goes around trying to **** up other peoples grows and has been banned in the past for giving out BS information.

 

[buzzed day]

no not root rot.it's the 3 mounth release stuff that i used for 3 years.the flush should help this plant if not i'll be back.peace

 

[MynameStitch]

K, please give us an update.

Also once you flush take it easy on the nutrients do not use any for about a week after the flush and when you do, use the dosages I gave you.

 

[buzzed day]
