Please help lost a lot of problems.

Please help lost a lot of problems.

Please please please help I made this account for this. A lot of different problems it looks like but yea I'll give you her history and some pics I just took.

Strain Blue Dynamite
Light CFL, LED
Nutes GH calimagic, koolbloom, N solution
Soil Greenhouse Gold premium mix it has spaghnum peat moss, bark compost and lime.
Was on 18/6, 24 now soil was too wet and I got pests flying around everywhere. Might go to 12/12 soon if she doesn't improve.
PH was 6.5-7 Now 6.1-3 and dont think it helped

For the first few weeks she was alright all good and green never fed any nutes until late into the second week.

Then all the problems started.

The stems started showing lines of purple first and the very bottom one bladed leaves and 3 bladed leaves went yellow. I took the one bladed ones off, and thought she needed nitrogen so I fed a bit of that. They didn't change back but the rest of her looked good after that for maybe a few days.

Shortly after I started seeing yellow and white spotting on the middle leaves and yellow stripes after too. I did some reading and posting and thought calmag so I tried that, one day earlier than my reg nute cycle cause it was looking bad.

This did nothing. I fed nutes only once more after this, then thought the ph might be too high for my new soil so I lowered from 6.5-7 to 6.1-3.

Started looking a bit better for a day.

Then Leaves started tacoing, twisting drying up and dying. 4 so far not counting what might be dead on her now. Stems are pretty flimsy too but other than that the shoots look decent.

now pretty much the bottom half's fan leaves are dead or dying. And looks to be working its way up. A lot of tacoing, purple dried leaf tips.

Also there was gnats early on. Killed most i thought. Then nothing but after I tried the Ph thing, i noticed more something small flying around in there, that's where i almost gave up on her.

I read about a natural mix for bugs cayenne pepper, garlic, and cinnamon powder, only I dont have garlic.

Please help I'm really lost my previous grows were a piece of cake compared to this. I duno if its ph bugs or nutes or all 3. But I think I should raise my ph back, ill see whay you guys think. hope I provided enough, thanks

Welcome on ICMag Jwhat201.
I don´t know much about bugs and stuff.
What kind of soil is that. Do you know the PH of the soil ?
To water with a PH of 6.3 is far to low, would aim for 6.8 maybe go even higher next time watering, even 7.x once is not a issue, the soil is buffering

I would suggest, water with high PH next time and measure the PH and EC of the runoff.
Than you get an idea what your soil is doing with the values.

Good Luck

 

[Jwhat201]

Thanks a lot man.

I'll look for the ph on the soil but I don't think It's there. Just a bag that was outside there wasn't much variety hah. Potting soil it says versatile good for seedlings etc. Ready for use. And it got perlite in it too.

I'll give that a go though raise the ph next time, because if it's not pests, lowering it definitely didn't fix it right.

I'm using those big garden ph things not the digital meters. Maybe I need a better meter? All I could afford at the time and I've just been trusting it.

Anyone ever deal with pests? Think it might be that?

 

[Jwhat201]

Need a new PH meter lol

Need a new PH meter lol

Its showing the same reading now anything I test so I think it crapped out but I know my water is 7.5.

so added a small bit of vinegar guesstimating less than half what I used last time.

For the pests my buddy said try soapy water for a week so I put that in too, after watering they came out. I got a makeshift trap thing made with some fruit and apple cider in a cup with plastic wrap and holes, that's working elsewhere so hoping they go in there haha.

also sprayed a little on the leaves.

 

[Jwhat201]

Update still not good. What is it doing this to my leaves? Could it be mites? or.

Maybe mess around with ph every water a little bit to try and do something?

U stayed u have bugs flying around everywhere... Possibly that is the problem...
Do u have a yellow sticky card trap out?? If not, it's a MUST that u get one asap.

Yes, there are a few obvious nute deficientcies... And possibly some pH issues, But I think the base of Ur problem is in the soil. Possibly some pests in the soil. So I want u to try this...
-let the soil dry out, fairly dry.
-Do a root drench. Use something like Azamax from the garden shop, or go to Home Depot and get Bayer INsect Disease and Mite Control, or Bayer Complete Insect Killer-2 way formula.
-pH and and water untill u get 15% runoff.
If that doesn't work, chop that SOB abd start over !

Overwatering, random changes to pH and incomplete fertilizer. Hanging yellow cards is a must. Never flip an unhealthy plant.

Does this damage seem to come from aphids, root aphids, broad mites? Thank you

Thanks man. I did see pests in the soil and some flying around, but not since a few soapy waterings. I'll have a look for Azamax next time I get out though. Definitely gonna get some yellow sticky traps they shouldn't be hard to find.

And thanks for the tips to next guy too haha. I did switch her though, just to try for any bud at all, my only plant right now.

Shoots are still growing, white hairs showing, fan leaves still fucked, and some sugar leaves.

Looks like you have a lot of purple on your main stalk and all over your fan leaves. This is a sign of magnesium deficiency. Your stalk should be nice and green. Also I noticed that your fan leaves look very sad, like over watering sad. I would take HyeFarm559 advice on letting her DRY out and root drench. Bump up your calimag and let that soil dry out before you do your normal watering. And KILL the bugs..must get rid of bugs.. they will mess everything up! also flipping an unhealthy plant will mess with your final yield. But I wish you the best of luck !! hope your girl comes back and starts thriving!!!

Please help

Please help

Bottom leaves are yellowing and dying off, maybe nutrident lock or Magnesium deficiency...? Some of the stems are purple.

They are in 4th week of flowering under 600w hps.

I have been giving them nutridents every third watering..

Biobizz grow 3ml/l Biobizz bloom 3ml/l Biobizz top max 1ml/l

Growing in cheap market soil mixed with clay balls.

Please help im so worried about my girls

Looks like natural to me I think the plant drops some bottom ones off anyway, not sure about at 4 weeks though I thought later, maybe someone else will know more.

Learning101 - yes i also have been having a lot of trouble with a pest that looks just like that and my conclusion was springtails as well. I also would love to hear some feedback on this pest please and thank you

 

[El Gato]
