Should I scrap and start over? Please Help (with pics)

[Stoney Bologna]

Hi All,

I think I should cut some clones and scap my grow. I am hoping to get some input and advice. Maybe some one out there that knows more about this stuff than i do (prolly most of you) can let me know if there's an easy way outa this mess, or if I should just start over.

I'm using a 20gal rubbermaid container for soil, and the mix is bog's simple recipe with promix as the base. So it's 2cups blood and bone meal and 1-2tbs of lime per gallon of promix.

I first noticed some discoloration of the new growth a couple weeks ago when there temperature outside started to drop where I live. The plants where subjected to temps in the low 60s for a few days. Not knowing if the discoloration was from the low temps or a nutrient defficiency, I waited until I got the temps back above 70 before taking any action.

Once the temps were back up I gave them a heavy watering with plain water, and the ph of the runoff measured at 6.8.

So here I am now. FYI, I experimented with the FIM technique this time so some of the fan leaves near the tops of the plants may look a little deformed.





This one (2nd pic) looks like it has too much nitrogen, can some one verify this?

















The symptoms seem pretty diverse to me. I'm seeing stuff that to me looks like it could magnesium, calcium, and zinc defficiencies. Maybe this mix is too hot? I'm starting to second guess myself now and my head is starting to spin!


Damn i sure could use some help

Bail out of this situation. Go with straight promix plus perelite. Wacky nute situation going on I'm sure. I am totally drunk off milwaukee's best ice beer. See how to make your own soilless mix in my signature below.

what are your feedining issues> you got a zinc defieincy

have you fed your plants and how long have they been in this mixture?

when plants are in the same tubs they compete for food and will not get fed seperatly
one will eventually take over the other....

am totally drunk off milwaukee's best ice beer.

Im glad im not the only one drinking that tonight..I got a pretty good buzz going myself from Old Milwaukee's Best...Its cheap..but doesnt taste that bad...I Prefer Logger but I went with OMB..PEACE

BTW Stoney Bolongna..To me that looks like a old fashioned case of overfert...Do you have holes drilled in that bottom of that tub? I myself would give them a good flush with pH balanced water and add no food for at least a week to see what happens..I may be wrong but that to me seems like a good place to start...PEACE

Enjoying the Beast Light myself. My favorite beer ever. I even have a Beast t-shirt! The Ice actually tastes better but that stuff will creep up and knock you on your ass if you arent careful.

Thanks for stopping by,

Sproutco, I appreciate your advice man and I'm definitely goin with your soiless mix next time. If you say it's time to bail, I'm bailin'.

Stitch, Thanks for stopping by. I read through your tutorial countless times, it's extremely informative. They haven't been feed anything that wasn't already in the mix. Is zinc deffeciency the only thing you see? If that's the only thing, then i might try dealing with it. If you were in this situation, would you bail out or try to remedy the problem? Btw, thanks for the multiple plant per tup info, will heed to that next time.

dude, dont go scrapping that grow. just correct the problem and move on.

Never bail out on a grow.

Winners never quit, and quitters never win.

Don't kill them! This not what I mean. Transplant into soil without nutrients except gypsum and dol. lime. 2 cups blood and bone meal per gallon of soil? Your never going to fix that without "bailing out" of this soil mix.

I've seen worse plants made it....

btw: I'm not drinking any beer

 

[Guest]

never bail unless your pressed for time or space...

id try fixing it until the plant dies...i mean its a weed itll grow anywhere using anything...you should get some all purpose ferts that has ALL nutes in it...that wya you wont get def. in anything...check sproutcos soiless mix sig for a nute called flora nova, supost to be real easy to use and all you shoul dneed for feeding...but im in the same boat as you...dont know if ill get much from my grow but ive spent this much time i might as well finihs it to learn how to fix problems...plus i just need some more weed hah

Looks like over watering to me. Do those tubs drain well?
