do u fertilizer every time u water...... ?

have u tested your run off water for ph & ppm? id do a flush for starters.....

is this plant one of the close ones to the lite?

 

[Dr. G]

wooops double post

 

[Dr. G]

thisnotbeing able to post for 5 mins thing sucks a**

thisnotbeing able to post for 5 mins thing sucks a**

do u fertilizer every time u water...... ? no but i supplement some things like karma, sweet, cal mag

have u tested your run off water for ph & ppm? no does PBP showup on a ppm correctally? id do a flush for starters..... ok ill do thast first thing tomorow i did feed them yesterday should i do a flush even tho its dark? this strain has no tendencies to herm

is this plant one of the close ones to the lite? no

thanks so do you think its over fert cuz it looks like a K deff

 

[Dr. G]

bump?

 

[Guest]

I think a foot is too close if you're using a 1200 w HPS

A good range is 18-22 inches from the tops of the plants in my experience.

Hope this helps.

That my friend, is a classic potassium deficiency in flower. Bump your PBP to full strength or add some P/K ferts pronto. I had a Cali-O that was the same kinda picky in bloom. Better to catch it early on tho. I doubt they will recover fully at this point.

Anyone else see thrip scars on the last pic?

not over fert or the pistils would turn redish and dryout

definetly phosphorus def in the flowering stage go look at the example here
http://www.icmag.com/ic/showthread.php?t=11688


your plant may simply need more food , however

To rule out PH related issues complete a soil runoff PH test.......
with PH corrected water (6.5-6.8PH ) pour enough water in the pots so the water runs out the bottom of the pot ...collect & test the PH of this runoff water....

If the PH reading is out of optimum range 6.5-6.8 PH, you need to flush your plant.
Flush with PH corrected water, till in optimum PH range, 3 times the volume of the pots rule of thumb but may require much more flushing if the rootball is thick & sour

EG: 1 gal pot = 3 gal. flush

add 1/2 strength nutes to the last gallon of the flush.

Hey good catch! I sometimes confuse the phosphorous and potassium. Early in the morning, I forget what the (P) stands for lol! But yeah....I meant to say phosphorous deficiency. For some reason, PBP always gives me this deficiency. Flora Nova corrected this. But now I just use the GH series. No more of these issues.

ya thats what i thought a (P) deff if i use a flower booster would that help solve my problem?

Looks more lack severe lack of calcium.

16.67 ml pbp for soil + 5.8 ml cal mag plus per gallon of water.

Can't add dolomite lime to get more calcium because your ph is high. Have to add it with your fert water.

If you can't afford cal mag plus, send me a pm and i will give you alternatives.

 

[coolx]

^^^ ???!!! WTF?! Ca def? No way. What are you smoking? Oh sorry .. stoopid q.

As Brother_Monk said - classic P def. (take a look at the sticky Sick Plant guide pics).

I think a foot is too close if you're using a 1200 w HPS

a 1200 HPS? Wonder where I could get me one of those? I guess canada is way ahead of us in some things eh? ........ He's probably using 3 x 400W and in that case 12" is OK otherwise it could be heat stress, but it isn't cos you have some top leaves gone and some bottom ones whilst the mid ones are OK.

Hey Dr.G
I think you should give them more ferts rich in P and K...
Got this problem two months ago, my plants were exactly as yours.
You should notice very slow bud growing ..

If Blackvelvet grew a plant, then maybe he would know what he is doing. Alas, no growing = no experience.

Now he is just a poser who guesses at answers and is usually wrong wrong wrong.

Tells us more about the battery acid, oh gro king.

Send him a pm so he can bullshit you some more in private.

 

[Dr. G]

^^^ ???!!!

a 1200 HPS? Wonder where I could get me one of those? OK.

2 600w in a 4x4 hydro hut and they are more like 1.5-2 feet away actually i was just guessing lasttime

but ya ive been feeding them more and ill give em alittle shot of hydroplex
