[Meghan0085]

Check out my vid. i apologize for not having it posted here on this site but i deleted the vid from my phone and the tube is the only place i have it. no disrespect intended and my regards!
Shes 44 days old, in MG organic choice potting soil (10-5-5), under 3 26=100 watt CFLs, 2 4inch fans, in a DIY grow box made from a 45gal storage tub, no nutes have been given, only water from the tap(well water so no Chlorine or anything) and do so cautiously and sparingly, soil meter bouncing bt 6.8-7.0, dont have a water pH tester but used our home spa test strips to test the water and it comes out the tap at 6.4-6.6. i need this harvest for winter meds and im counting on this plant and 2 other autos since my dead beat roommate has destroyed my garden twice this yr. im thinking its ethr a nitrogen def or phosphorus def but im no pro so some much needed suggestions wud b appreciated. Thanks! Peace n Blessings

Not being able to "see" the plant....what is it doing? Leaves curling? Leaves turning yellow, leaf veins looking weird? Clue us in. Will be better to know in order t answer.

Sorry you have a 'dead beat' for room mate. Doesn't make growing any easier.

@aridbud! Hello there! thanks for the response. so i currently am growing 3 autos and i am having an issue with 2 of the 3, the Easy Ryder which is 45 days and the Auto Bubblicious which is 35 days from seed as of 2day Like i said b4, theyre in Miracle Grow Organic Choice 10-5-5 potting soil and under 3 26=100watt daylight and 1 softwhite 100watt CFLs. with the Easy Ryder i believe its either got nitrogen def or phosphorous def but im leaning more towards phosphorous def jus bc of the pics on the thread by @MynameStitch i think it is. With the Bubblicious im thinkn mayb calcium def but not certain. bc both are in beginning stages of flowering it cud very well b jus nitrogen def which is normal towards the end of the grow from what ive been told.unfortunately i dont have any pics but i do have a vid so if u would please take a moment to check my vid out and give me any suggestions on what u may think the problem is i would GREATLY appreciate it. heres the link:

Didn't watch the entire video....however it appears insect critters are causing the spots. Looks to be fertilizer burn on the others. Even though it's "organic" doesn't mean it's quality.....Miracle Grow notoriously hot and has a lot of sticks (wood remnants) creating a more acidic soil.

If you want to do organic first aid...get some tabasco sauce in water 1/4 Tabasco: 3/4 water or 1/3 T : 2/3 H2O and spray on leaves for insect deterrent. See if there is any improvement after a few days. Look on under leaf to see if there's damage. I've used short term tobacco water (I don't smoke, but can find butts from workers I've had doing projects left in the gravel) will do the trick, too. It was once was THE insecticide before synthetic insecticides were developed. Some will say it's not good for a plant, causing problems....you're NOT using all the time...just enough to ward off insects. After several applications of chile water or tobacco, spray with water to remove residues as leaves need to breathe.

Second, buy/get some perlite and sand to mix with the soil you have already...be careful not to damage root system. Or buy some Fox Farm, or smaller bag of soil mix at a greenhouse if you are flush w/ cash...not retail box stores. If you can very carefully remove plant and plant ball, put it in a bucket....dump the existing mix, add the 'fillers' and sift through to remove bark/tree particles of MG and replace. It's tricky, but you can do it.

Also, I use SUPER THRIVE pretty much the entire cycle...it will aid the plant since you are virtually 'transplanting' the plant. Just a few drops per gallon. If using city water, have it stand overnight for chlorine to evaporate....

Noticed you had 2-3" below the lip of your container...you can safely lightly (re)pack soil around replaced root ball and leave only an inch of soil to the top.

Both measures, I hope, will remedy the situation. Being enclosed in a box, if you have a sm. fan to circulate air, that might be helpful too. Don't need it running all the time. Just think of yourself being enclosed in a box....wouldn't you want fresh air?

Other members, I hope, will chime in. Good luck!!!

That's my three cents...
