Hey everyone,
HELP! PLEASE!
Having a problem with my kids. They've been doing well, but in the last week, things have been going downhill.
Symptoms:
The problem started as yellowing, which I thought was a nitrogen deficiency. I added 1ml of bat guano/gallon for this.
The leaves continued turning yellow and eventually brown, starting from the tips of the leaves moving towards the back. This is starting at the lower, older growth first and moving to the newer growth. The dark browning is isolated to just the tips.
Middle to lower leaves, some of them have turned brown, crispy and dead. I pulled these off, and aren't shown in the photos.
I'm growing 2 different strains and they're both showing the similar problems.
After my research, I've decided the best course of action is to do a complete flush, water with plain PH 6.25 water for the next watering, and go to 1/4 nutes...but thought I would get some advice first! Thanks a lot in advance!
SOIL:
PRO-MIX HP (6 parts)
Worm Castings (2 parts)
Perlite (2 parts)
A sprinkle of glacial rock dust
Using a cheapo, digital Soil PH meter, I have maintained a PH of 6.5
How long has this problem been going on?
Started slowly in the last two weeks, progressively getting worse
What STRAIN are you growing?
Mandala Satori
Solar Warrior Early Wonder Skunk (auto flower)
What was the establishing technique? (seed or clone?)
Both from Seeds
What is the age of your plants?
Early Wonder Skunk (auto) planted May 1st
Satori: Planted June 1, 12/12 on July 4th
How long have they been in the soil mixture they are in now?
In Promix for roughly a month and a half.
Were they in the same mixture when they were seedlings/smaller plant? If not, what mixture were they in before?
Seedling and Veg stages was done in Original Sea Soil Organic Potting Mix
How Tall are the plants?
Both are about 1 foot each starting from the lip of the pot.
What PHASE (seedling, vegetative or flower) are the plants in?
Both are flowering
What Technique are you using? (SOG, SCROG etc)
Both were topped once, and LST to form a sort of bush
What size pots are you using? (Include how many subjects to pot)
Progressively larger pots, now living in 4 gallon pots.
What brand Nutrient's are you using?
No nutes during veg, while they were in the soil/worm casting
Botanicare Pure Blend Pro Bloom Soil Formula 1-4-5
Started at 25% and eventually worked to 100% at 20ml per gallon
Earth Juice PH UP to adjust my soft water 5.5 up to 6.25
A tiny bit of Bat Guano for nitrogen (1 ml)
2ml blackstrap mollassas
How often are you feeding?
Feeding the above mixture roughly once a week. I flood the plant and let it dry out.
Lighting:
12/12 (8am - 8pm) Sunlight for the Satori
Autoflower is left outside
