Hi all, noob here, I am having problems with a few plants and am trying to figure out what it is. I have tried a few things but I think I am making it worse. Please help, I am really trying and have been searching for days through old threads. My plants are turning lellow in the fan leaves from bottom going up, its splotchy, almost looks like rust and has dried up dead areas spreading from the yellow from leaf tip to stem
How long has this problem been going on? about two weeks
What STRAIN are you growing? Blueberry
What was the establishing technique? (seed or clone?)seed
What is the age of your plants?6weeks
How Tall are the plants? 8 inches
What PHASE (seedling, vegetative or flower) are the plants in? vegitative
What Technique are you using? (SOG, SCROG etc) just standard let it do its own thing
What size pots are you using? (Include how many subjects to pot) one plant per 2 gallon pot.
What substrate/medium are you using? What brand of soil mixture are you using?(percentage of perlite, vermiculite...etc?) miricle grow, the kind that feeds for 3 months, i know now to never use it again but its too late this time
What Nutrient's are you using?How much of each with how much water? How Often? *Knowing the brand is very helpful* used a half stick of miriclegro stick at 4 weeks
What is the TDS/EC/PPM of your nutrients used?no clue, its the normal crappy mirical gro sticks
What is the pH of the "RUN-OFF"? Last I checked it was lower than 6.6
What method of pH test was administered? Using Strips? pH pen? stupid spa strips, i used the really crappy ph testing stick and it is saying about 5.5 at root level
How often are you watering?bout once every 3 days but over watered trying to add magnesium and lower ph
When was your last feeding and how often are you feeding?miricle grow at 4 weeks, half stick
What size bulb are you using? 3 ott lites (cfl) 2 inches from plant tops, 4 26 watt cfls 6500k, one 45 watt 2300k cfl. about 220 watts actual power
What is the distance to the canopy?well the ceiling is about 3 1/2 feet up for now but bulds hang close to plants
What is your RH Factor? (Relative Humidity)between 40% and 60%
What is the canopy temperature?about 84 degrees
What is the Day/Night Temp? (Include fluctuation range) in 24/0 so it is steady between 78 and 85 degrees, house is at 76 to 78 degrees
What is the current Air Flow? (cfm etc.) currently keeping door open since no worry of light leak, not alot of wind, will be adding a box fan converted to an inline with ducts in about a week.
Is the fan blowing directly at plants? No
Is the grow substrate constantly wet or moist? Not usually but has been this week
Is your water HARD or SOFT? Not hard, so im guessing soft
What water are you using? Reverse Osmosis (RO)? Tap? Bottled? Well water? Distilled? Mineral Water? Tap water
Has plant been recently pruned, cloned or pinched? Nope, i did cut some dead area away on one plant to monitor the progress
Have any pest chemicals been used? If so what and when? nope
Are plant's infected with pest's? No or at least none I can see
My setup is still growing, like I said I am a noob, I have a 400 watt hps lamp coming, will be building a inline fan setup and will use a few of my cfls for side lighting while setting up a veg box with my unused cfls. please help me save my babies, I really need to learn nutrients better. I have a very thin layer of sand covering the soil, an old friend said it would keep mites out. Also the plants all suffered from streching, not knowing any better the plants were all left on a badly lit windowsill due to not having lights or space for all of them. I will be trying to support them to help if needed but since being put under the cfls the plants have been filling out alot and the stems have double in size.
