my probs (pics)

OK so I got more probs for y'all to help me with. First we have the droopy leaves, and then we come to the spots. Not sure what is causing either. Help!












I'm not worried about the buds, I just wanna know why the leaves are droopy and twisting.





And with theses, the larger spots began first, and then the Mg rash began. How do i fix these things?

Sup bra,

Loved to help you out but I need to know some things first.

Hydro or soil

nutes

additvies

ph

medium

temps/rez temps

this info always helps out with diagnosis.

obviously any observations by you help out too.

im running soil right now. temps between 77-85 lights on. I set my pH everyday at 6.0, and i have a good mix of perlite in the soil. im not running any additives. i run 5M-10B-5Magical per gal only once a week. other than that i just run ph'ed water

how much light? to me they look over watered and nute burned with some resulting ph funkiness thrown in. if your leaves are looking like that, your buds will suffer.

My plants look identical..I,m doing swc .Initially I over ferted about week 3 and 4 .Adjusted ec and they did come around a bit but still lotsa crispy spotted leaf...also got a lot of new growth.My yield is suffering but not too seriously.I also think I had my lights too close 20" with 1000K hps.We had a heat wave here and my temps were running higher then usual.My ph was alwys runnin a steady 5.8...So imho I think it may be over fert and perhaps a lock -out...Best ,o,luck

Yout nutes are concentrating in your medium. Either too much fert to begin with (especially N) or lack of water due to too little water to begin with or the heat is causing too much transpiration.

I don't think it's nute burn, NB usually starts at the tips and works down.

I notice you have your water at ph6.0 goin in......but what is the runoff?

I think it's Nute Lockout caused by PH. Good indicator is the brown spots

on leaves. Leaves are twisting cause of PH.....If i had to guess, i would

say your soil's PH is well above 7.

Check yer runoff's ph. You may have to flush yer soil. Maybe a soil grower

can chime in with more knowledge on the subject.

I checked my runoff this morning at lights on and watering time, it was at 6.1
I dont really think that my pH is that bad, although I dont have a soil pH meter. Im pretty sure my problem with the curling of leaves is because these clones are being flowered in 16oz dixie cups. I have seen this done before with good results, but maybe I'm getting too far into the deep-end for my skill level.

I have noticed the plants are a little happier now that I have started watering via the plate that the cups sit on, instead of watering the cup itself. This way there is more available water to the plant. I have tried flushing, but I noticed no improvement to the plants well-being. Should I clip off these curled leaves? Can they be repaired by the plant?

So I re-potted today, and I'm hoping that this will help with the probs, I have been having. When I pulled them out of the dixie cups, the roots was all I could see. There was pretty much no soil to bee seen on the outside touching the cup. ROOTBOUND to say the least. I'll have some better pics up for you guys in a bit.

No Dolomite Lime when I re-potted, I dont have the money to get that stuff right now.

SRAH- I forgot to ever respond to your question, I am running 560watts HPS setup as <8> 70 watter remote ballast conversion security lamps, run through a DIY cooltube using hurricane globes, and a 465 canfan blower. I need to find some larger hurricane globes for more airflow, but I'm still trying to get a 400-600 watter single lamp. If I do that I'm not gonna need to get new globes, I want an aircooled hood.
Here are some pictures of them today after I re-potted. I'm thinking its gonna take about a week for them to show improvement. What do you guys think? Its a sativa strain at more than 50 days flower, needs to go at least 90.

Edit: Forgot to mention as well; My temps dont generally get higher than 88 degrees, and I cant do anything about my RH which stays between 18-30.

I know, but money has been REAL tight around here these last few months, I only have about 15ml of bloom left. enough for a feeding and a half
