look at pix and tell me what's wrong

[totaln00b]

the following pix are under normal lighting:









strain: unknown bag seed
age: 40 days on 12/12, veg. ~3wks before that
shultz potting soil 8-12-8 no nutes in veg. pbp in flower. full strength, recently reduced.
ph unknown
temps 80-90'f
lights 202w cfl

some known problems: drought at some times, thought i had n toxicity so i reduced nutes, slightly high temps, low ventilation, unknown ph, possibly rootbound (7.5" diameter container, unsure of gallon size)

can take more pix or answer more questions if necessary

thanks in advance

well for ph unknow they look great imo....and leaves are turning downwards coz you're giving a tad 2 much nutes.....seeing little burnd tips and all....but i would say you dont have any major probs ....a simple ph'd waterig would do the trick...to get the leaves up again...

and you should invest in a ph meter

I think you should increase calcium.

Test ph and see if you need to raise ph. You would then add powdered/pulverized dolomite lime to the surface to give you calcium and magnesium. Try 1 teaspoon per gallon of soil mix. Water in.

-or-

If ph is ok, you can add cal mag to your fert water. 1/8 teaspoon calcium nitrate or powdered gypsum and 1/8 teaspoon epsom salts per gallon of water. Calcium chloride could be used for calcium but this requires net weight of the bottle and % ca to give you about 30 ppm ca. Calclium chloride might be sold under names like tomato blossom end rot stopper. Easily disolvable gypsum you can get at the brew your own beer stores. Epsom salt and gypsum give you valuable sulfur. Cal mag plus is a store bought suppliment you would use at about 3/4 teaspoon per gallon.

Ph is important. At least get ph test strips from a brew your own beer wine store or the aquariuim section at a petstore. Adjust fert water ph before giving to the plants. You can also test soil ph.

How to test soil ph: After watering and ferting well, wait 30 minutes. Then apply some distilled water to the pot surface. Get 1 or 2 ounces of runoff and catch on a saucer. Test this ph. If you can tilt the pot and get some liquid out after watering/ferting and waiting 30 minutes, you can test that instead.

Another more accurate way to test ph is scrape soil mix off the rootball. take 1/4 cup soil mix and mix with 1/4 cup distilled water. Stir. Wait 30 minutes. Test ph.

dont try 2 fix something thats is't broken....

i agree with CORE, a lil nute burn i would just check the ph 2 see where its about. i'm always scared to give my girls full strength (of anything) right of the bat. so i slowly introduce them to it 2 anything. she looks good

There is nothing wrong with your plants. They could use more light and a subsequent up-pot to a larger size but that is only a question of yield, not quality.
Your drought was due to pot size vs your temps ratio.

Hey now that's what I like to read.


I've read that re-potting or up-potting during flower can be bad. That is why I haven't done it. Otherwise I would have.

What ratio of PBP would you recommend? I did 1/4 strength, then half strength, then the recommended dose for a good while(30ml/gal), then just watered it down from there recently. I'd approximate it's around 20ml/gal now.

BTW: It's just one plant.

Let's just say 99% of the flowering plants I've thrown into an up-pot freak out and go into a kind of stasis, then reveg-rebloom thing.

I couldn't tell you the exact chemical messenger but guaranteed plants know when they are up-potted.

Sometimes though it's when people up-pot and change the environment at the same time also, the plants definately notice THAT.
