More plant issues

[Guest]

So it seems like everytime something is fixed or looking better, my plants have more issues. Instead of just using the plant guide here in the CI, I would rather ask for other peoples advice before I try to fix something im not sure I have.

ph 6.6
about 35 days old

I just transplanted these into bigger containers, since they were rootbound before. a day before transplanting I fed with with earth juice grow/bcuzz growth and some cal-mag all at small doses. They were looking the sameway before I fed them this.

From what ive seen, that type of light yellow isnt healthy is it? The plant in the first picture is the one that has it the worst. From stitches thread, it looks almost the same as this:

from the fat wrinkled looking leaves, to the burn marks on the ridges. Should I just water with regular tap water for next few days to see how it turns out since i have transplanted?

What is the new soil mix? Does it contain dol. lime? Ph 6.6 is high for soilless media. Too high ph allows uptake of cal/mag more than potassium.

 

[Guest]

yes, i put dolomite lime in the mix. it did not have it before. it contains the lime + regular Lamberts soil and some added perlite.

I guess what im also wondering is what to use for feeding them. I have fox farm grow big, and big bloom(no tiger bloom). AN 1 part grow and 1 part bloom powder. As well as earth juice grow (what ive been using) and Bcuzz Growth(using this too) and Bloom stimulator.

Im still having the same problem, and it appears to be working its way up to all the new growth. only a few of the plants are having this problem, any help?



edit - ill upload to icmag site soon as i cant, right now the site seems to be running very slow.

earth juice needs to be ph stabilized for a day in a bubbling bucket, it does not come buffered. i would try and switch to a buffered set of nutes

 

[Guest]

I only used earthjuice once, should I switc back to fox farm grow big?

 

[bartender187]

I would if it was working out for you. Switch back to Fox Farm... If it doesnt work out for you, water with 6.5 r/o water and test the runoff.

what is r/o water? I thought that stood for run off but i dont know =P.

 

[Guest]

R/O= Reverse Osmosis. It's the most filtered water money can buy and contains 0ppm's - so very easy to manage... just not as cheap as tap water

 

[MTF-Sandman]

RO = Reverse Osmosis

What's the PPM/EC of the water and the PH before adding nutes? Looks like a lockout to me...

When in doubt - ask!.
How the hell else ya going to learn? - well besides reading and using the search finction - and reading.

AND READING!


First thing - I'd let the plants stabilize - they were rootbound - and fed - - and transplanted and your woundering why they are shocky? Any one of those problems can hurt a plant and you have 3, at least.

Climbing yellowing is usually lacking N

Grow Big works like a champ for me - I also like Bat Guano Tea. And Molassas.
And Canna tea

Still need to drop the pH down to about 6.2 ish


Is the water/nutes soaking in or just running thru?

 

[Guest]

Well, I fed them a small dose of grow big and bcuzz growth. 1ml of bcuzz and half a teaspoon of grow big per gallon. I pour it slowly so it doesnt run right down the sides so it soaks it up. usually when i pour too fast after the soil has dried some. itll go right to the sides and come out the bottom.

Comparing pictures I took from the last 3 days, they do seem to be getting greener. we'll see what happens, ill post up again tommorow with new pictures.

syztem is the hitler of marijuana growing, i swear to god. this crop has given us nothing but problems.

i think we are going to clone them when they are a bit healthyer as it was our intention to just find a good couple of monther plants out of this crop, but unfortunely all our plants look like absolute crap and we cant tell which is the best.

when do you think these mommys will be healthy enough to clone to give the clones the most chance of survival?

too many cooks spoil the soup.

My first garden wasn't too impressive, but what it taught me got me to here:

i would get some nitrogen sticks for your pots man. you may want to flush the pots as well, take them to the tub or sink and just flush the pots a couple times. this gets rid of excess nutrients and is good for plants once and a while.
