Hey guys/gals...

I've included a pic. of the problem.

this is effecting the entire plant, however it still seems to be selective in that it's effecting some older growth, and the very new growth is un touched.
I'm thinking I may have had a ph issue...not to sure. Or perhaps over fert.
Here's a shot...


And this one...the most recent which is on the nail 2 weeks later(still in veg. BTW).
So as you can see the growth isn't slowing down at all. I've been running her under a 150w hps for now, res. temp 65-68, air temp. 71-72.
I gave her a some what of a healthy dose of ferts. Nothing more then I would for any other strain that I've worked with in the last 10 years.
Idea's, comments welcome!

I would love to see what people have to say about this. I have been having the same problems with mine. (also a new strain to me). I have been pulling my hair out trying to figure this one out. Fingers crossed for a good awnser.

BUMP!
I'm greatful for the visual. However an explination would better benifit me.
I've replaced the batt. in my pen, and have adjusted the ph of rez. to 6.0, w/ a ppm of 500 using FF growbig. However I took a reading of my rez. before hand...and it was down 4.6-4.7.
I'm thinking I rushed around to much the otherday and must have forgotten about it I guess. We'll see ...
I normally don't make such foolish mistakes...gettin old!

that is caused by ph fluctuations how often are you testing your ph?

That chart would sound like it would work, but there is so many things that can go wrong it's impossible for a chart to be graphed out and have it work 100% of the time.....

But with this case ph is the cause for your leaves to be like that. and they do start on lower leaves when ph goes up and down like that. At least for me it does, ph can start anywhere on the plant but when ph is down low that browing like that happens. It did to all my plants and I had to get a ph tester to find out that my soil was acidic causing this with all my plants and it would go up then back down..... make sure you test the ph a few times daily because plants will take nutrients out of the water and ph will rise.

Are you using tap water ro water? Filtered?

Hey thx for that!
i ment to get back on here to tell SUPAFLY that I belived it to be PH issue.
I had thought this from the start, but i'm glad you chimed in on this STITCH.
Conferms my belife.
i'm noticing a much more happy vibe from my plant now.
I left her alone for alittle bit, after handling her...(i call this "tinker time"), and somehow missed adjustment's. I have 3 kids so this is prolly the cause. One of them was prolly shoving something in the other's eyeball, or using the cat for a skateboard, ect. My kids are very creative :yoinks:
Like I said.. this is the first time I made such a stupid mistake like this. So I live with it by telling her the kids did it...not me :joint:
Anyway she given my vibe again :woohoo:
THX
P.S. Hope you get this SUPAFLY?

It is impossible to graph out a chart that works 100% of the time, sure...
The Chart is a very good General Guideline, the only trick is that you have to determine why a plant is deficient in a particular element.
In my experience it is much more common for deficiencies to be caused by bad environment (pH fluctuation, temperature problems, toxicity of competing elements) than lack of the element, as is the case here with the bad pH, which is certianly the issue.

I agree with ya grat, because most products are not made for cannabis, not to mention to many people treat them like common plants and that don't work to well! At least the plant tells you that :D

haha, kids are so creative!!! I have one who drives me nuts! SO I know what you are going through :)
