LR2 help please

His yellowing doesn't appear to be natural. Looks a little more like the beginning of a calcium deficiency or potassium. I'd check out potassium first. Hard to tell with out close of pictures of the old and new growth (leaves).

ROOR you are right about using up all the last nutes the leaves are holding but My plants started turning yellow "at the bottom" in early stages of flowering and im pretty sure his was during veg. while his foliage was still developing. Mr.meds is pretty on the spot as far as im concerned we deff need more closeups of the effected leaves and even then. i suggest he changes his watering /nutrient schedual dont do anything drastic just slight ajustments.

I see what you mean. It is a Calcium Defic. and looks like your lacking Nitrogen too. So look into Cal-Mag and Get a Grow Nute that has Nitrogen inside.

 

[cyber echo]

It can also be a pH problem causing nute lockout.
Be very careful about what to do next.

 

[jamessedgewick]

yes the bottom has been yellowing a bit from before when you might expect from flowering. I have been giving them small doses of epsom salts in with the water, not sure if its helping or not... I thought it could be to do with the light not fully penetrating to the bottom.

 

[Gene-weaver]

they do look rather big for a cfl grow i severely doubt that the bottoms of your plant are getting any penertration,

in my ver best oppinion id say go with atami bloombastic for autos 0.5ml to a litre and your good to go just buy good soil with food enough for the first four weeks, then when flowering starts at about week 3 let the leafs turn a slight light green or yellow then give them the first feeding i only feed with this about 3 or 4 times each grow and the bud sizes ive experience on normal photosensitive plaNTS WAS UNREAL top colas the size of mens legs and that is no joke. good luck and i hope it all works out ok in the end result.

peace weaver

 

[Mr.Meds]

Bloombastic is wicked expensive. I'm getting some free sample bottles from my local shop guy. I agree to be very careful on what you do next. You don't want a snowball effect. I'd probably flush and then try to find the most complete all in one plant food you can find. If you have a PH meter it would be a good idea to take the PH of your water and nutrient mix. I'd also stop the epsom salts.

are they likely to go seriously downhill in what im guessing will be about the last week? Ill see if I can get a ph kit if possible and i have just got a magnifying glass too.

 

[Gene-weaver]

yeah in my experience epsom salts ( magnesium sulphate ) only really helps plants in there vegative stage as it helps them to grow ) so stop with that on your auto's after about week 3 just startto give them phed water at 6.5 for the next week or so and cross your finger friend all should work out fine ( we can only hope )

yeah the bloombastic runs me 30 pounds for 500ml but its the shizzle my man, it makes the diffrence in your garden


:0

 

[jamessedgewick]

ok will hold off with the salts just gave them a nice prune, should get much better light penetration now. 2 of the plants have about 70% orange hairs but im not sure about orange trichs. should i keep waiting till they become apparent? i might be just not identifying them correctly. im sort of paranoid that i will leave them too long... sorry first grow anxiousness

You really should pick up that hand held microscope at radioshack or your local shop to identify the trichomes. You're not in risk of going to long. =)

In the states it's 90bucks (USD)

shit bro thats a slam and a half for the bloombastic in your parts lol noway thats a rippoff id still buy it though lol

Bit Late to worrie too much now

Bit Late to worrie too much now

Hey James,
Seems to me buddy a few people that think they are expert growers dishing out advice like Jorge Cervantes(he is a friend of mine on IC btw) dont have much of a clue what they are on about, or a very basic understanding of growing lets put it that way! If you have any issues this late in the grow then maybe i'm thinking it is just that, a little too late to be worring to much now, as you aint got long till flush looking at things. I agree with you on the point that the bottom leaves are this way, and have been for quiet a while because they aint getting any light. You will see nute burn immediately at the tips of all new growth as 'singe' and all the tips will turn white then brown(dont get confused with Ca def). when you see this we would just water down our feeding solution a little as i'm sure you would have done. But it does look to me like your leaves have this symptom because they aint getting the light. You dont need to be removing leaves unless there really blocking Bud Sights, try tucking them instead dude! (Lack of light for a period of time will mimic defs) you do need to get a good PH tester!
You need to be watching now for the pistils receading back into the calix, and then the calix swell a little. When most of the calix are swollen & about 80% of pistils browned, that is probably a good time to gauge when to harvest if you havent got a microscope!

Hope this helps...'Peace' n 'Be-Lucky'......Scroger

Ps-Im NOT referring to all who have posted in this thread-just 1or2.

 

[jamessedgewick]

Im a bit worried about one of the plants, it has gone a bit yellow with brown spots. mostly on fairly new growth hear the top and buds. here are some pics. sorry for the bad focusing

and some pics of the nearly ready buds on the other plants...

 

[happycamper15]

Man these look almost ready! I would def check the trich's out! I wouldnt worry about the leaves at this stage in the game.

 

[Scrogerman]

Could be PH or Ca related(or both), your main concern here would be PH dude, soil 6.3-6.8 i believe are your parameters, most aiming for 6.5. Thats it with PH, there are different optimal absorbsion levels for different elements in solution, or in your case soil. If you give some more close ups of them spots we may be able to better identify the problem, it is a little too late to worrie as you have no longer than 10 days left imo if that, & are about to go into the flush stage if i'm not mistaken. that being the case there aint alot you can do in this late stage buddy. For next time follow one of the mix's for soil on here or look into using soiless mix for better control of PH/EC/PPM etc.
Enjoy what you have made this time, Next time you'll nail it!!!!
#G'Luck Dude............Peace!................Scroger'
BTW-Nice looking trichs, Mmmmmm the more the merrier! Use HPS for thicker juicier Buds!!
Wait as long as you can & let the calix Swell, i can see that most of the pistils have turned brown, let them recead into the calix a bit yet, the calix will swell a little more as the pistils recead.

 

[Roortokeage]

Could be a possible of Many things. Get us a PH reading then we can really Figure out what is going on.

A) Calcuim Deficiency
B) Lack of NItrogen
C) Over Nuting it.

 

[Scrogerman]

Lack of Light has made it this way imo

Lack of Light has made it this way imo

Try lack of light,& PH issues. and you may be somewhere near man!
Over-nuting - NO it aint imo
Lack of N - Doubtfull (the leaves look nice & dark green there the most part) imo
A little late to worrie much - Definately imo
'LOL', even though it's not funny!. Get the kit sorted for next time buddy(PH/EC meters etc). You aint gonna start treating a deficiency this late in the grow anyway are you buddy. They are gonna go in flush, if they aint already. If you wanna fuck it up even more go ahead & make it taste like shite by adding more stuff now. i wish people would understand, ITS TOO LATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, looks like a classic PH Issue to me dude anyway!
G'Luck for your next run!!

Peace.........Scroger

 

[Roortokeage]

Its never to late. Dont knwo what you are talking about. Dont give him bad advice.

He can flush and get her going strong and flower longer. So I dont know why you say what you say.

 

[Scrogerman]

Dont make me laugh!

Dont make me laugh!

LMAO, shows your knowledge base buddy!
Listen, the plants are not going to stop go back into veg & then re bloom are they, there so close to finishing he might as well flush. believe me it is "too late" to bother treating for any sort of deficiency now, all that will do is mess the flavour up of what little bud he has there!
I sugest you put down your copy of closet cultivator(Ed Rosenthal/my first book 1991) and get a big boys book to learn something concerning this issue. You my friend are the very person i was refering to earlier. Handing out advice like JC but really you aint got a clue. Come on its obvious to anyone reading this thread with any sort of knowledge on the subject of MJ growing that you are clueless dude. Sorry if you dont like what i'm saying but i always try to be as honest as possible. Go ask some senior members on here & i'm 100% positive they will tell you the same as i, that them plants are past the stage where they can be treated for any sort of def. Good luck in finding the knowledge you seek, but dont come on here and insult the intelligence of someone that has been at this for over 20 years ok buddy.!!!
"He can flush and get her going stronger"-What are you on about kid, dont be silly, he cant do this, why would he want to do that? All you are doing is pumping her full of nutes and this is seriously going to impare flavour, have you got that. You cant extend the bloom cycle like you are implying-simple, once there done there done and thats it dude'!!
IF YOU DONT BELIEVE ME GO ASK SOME SENIOR/EXPERT MEMBERS!!!!then get back to me yeah!!
Peace........Scroger!

(I'm gonna go check out your photo album yeah-see your wonderfull examples of MJ Cola's/Buds)LOL
