my first grow ever is starting to die

[ratfield]

here they are. dont think ive done anything different to them to cause this but since I've haven't ever diagnosed a plant problem, I beg for someone to help me.

The first two pics are of the plant that got it the worst. The other two still have certain areas that are yellowing. And btw either im the worst photographer of all time or my roomates camera blowz.

If you want a proper diagnosis you need to give all the info about your grow. Soil/Nutes/Container size/medium..etc. DLB

 

[mexilandrace]

what is that medium you are growing in?

 

[mexilandrace]

okay so I looked in your thread.

you have been feeding them AN 3 part at what strength and since when?

and you have been in fox farm soil the whole time?

 

[ratfield]

yes i have been using foxfarm the whole time. i use the recommended measurements on the back of the bottle its like 1.5tsp/gal micro, and grow and like .3tsp/gal bloom. those are 3gallon buckets btw.

 

[mexilandrace]

I think that you maybe are way over-ferting.

Do you know what your ph is?

 

[ratfield]

and ive been using those nutes for like 3 weeks with no probs.

 

[ratfield]

i havent been testing it each time but the water that comes out of my pur filter was at 6.8. But i havent been testing it all the time. maybe its time for me to replace the filter in it.

 

[mexilandrace]

They build up over time, if you don't get runoff from the pots when you water. I don't use those nutes but pretty much no one uses nutes at full strength

That soil had nutes in it to begin with, I am actually shocked they didn't show some burning sooner, seeing as they were pretty small when you put them in there.

How often are you watering? and you are using the nutes every time?

 

[ratfield]

uh whenever its a fingers measurement down and its dry soil, usually 4days. and yes i am using nutes each time. Im assuming I should stop doing that, how often to use nutes then?

 

[mexilandrace]

I only fert like every third time, and never full strength but I lean towards under ferting

Can you test the PH of your runoff?

It might not be a bad idea to flush that soil.

 

[ratfield]

ya im gonna flush tomorrow and water with no nutes for a bit. ill test the runoff before i flush and post it tomorrow night. thanks for the help btw.

 

[mexilandrace]

No problem man, I dig this kinda stuff.

 

[wygram]

looks like something a friend of a friend has a problem with... told him to stop watering so much... they are starting to pick up...

the droopiness is either from over or under watering... and from the look of the soil and the water sprayed foliage it looks like you are over loving them with water

woot woot woot

woot woot woot

so i flushed the three girls this morning at 8am with prob 3 gallons per plant. I got back from work today and guess waht? THEY LOOK FUCKIN AWESOME. All the yellow leaves are turning green again and the plant that looked like it was straight dead is regaining its bushiness. I definetly was over nuting and am appalled that they took a complete 180 so quickly. thanks again mexilandrace.
