what is wrong with my babies?

[rastagrass]

could someone tell me what kind of def. this is I thought it was magnesium so i gave them some epsom salt and that didnt work so now im thinkin that it might be iron? i also thought that since they are about 6 weeks into flowering and that it might be normal. if someone could give me some info on this that would be great. thank you alll in advance for your help.

The leaves look kinda small for 6 weeks of flowering, but there's no scale. Not that that means anything, specifically, anyways. I'd say this is a nute burn caused by over fertilizing, but it could also be light-burn. What's your fert schedule, and what have you been feeding them? I'm thining next step is a flush. If there is a toxic build-up, then nutes are locked out, and the problem won't/can't be resolved by adding more of what is locked out. The plant simply cannot access it.

those are some of the smaller leaves it was just the ones that had the best veiw. my fert schedule is about once a week i feed them with some bloom booster,superthrive,and pure blend bloom, also the past two feedings have had added epsom salt. then i water with plain water when needed. aslo i checked my ph today and it was about 6.5. and i dont think its light burn as they are grown outside under a porch.

Sounds like you might want to cut back on the bloom boost a smidge. The ph is fine, but that doesn't mean you can't still nute burn your plants. I threw the light-burn out there, cuz it's always tough to tell from pics, and you hadn't specified outdoors, so at least we ruled that out, right? With your ph where it is, all nutrients should be available. It stands to reason that a slight over-feeding of bloom would cause this response. It doesn't sound/look like a chronic problem, based on the damage and the fact that you feed once a week. I bet the soil just got a little too 'hot'. Give her a flush maybe? Ha, that seems to be the go to remedy, but it gets you back to base.

could you tell me the best method to flush these plants they are in 5 gallon containers. also my tap water has iron in it i think, so could that be a prob? i know that water normally has some iron and other things in it right? but this water turns the bottom of the bathtub orange if you know what i mean neway i was just throwing that idea into the mix.

Can you take a picture of the whole plant....... where did that leaf come from; top of the plant?


Can you give us more grow info?
Soil? What kind of soil? Brand? any additives? How much direct light do your plants get?

How big are these plants?

I would Never use superthrive as a feeding suppliment; it has strong vitamins and cannabis builds them up very easily; should only be used for transplanting and thats it!
Stop using superthrive and how much of each bloom booster and pure blend are you using with how much water?

 

[rastagrass]

the soil i have is a mix sold at lowes called jungle growth, my additives are general hydro top max bloom stimulator at 3 tsp per gal, pro blend at 3 tsp per gal, and superthrive at 1/2 tsp per gal. Also i added some guano,greensand,bloodmeal,and some other things but i forgot it was a flowering mix. The plant is about 2.5 to 3 ft and gets direct light for about5 to 6 hrs a day but gets good light for the remainder of the day.

looks like possible boron issue; stop using superthrive you are only supossed to be using 1 to 2 drops per gallon you are using 1/2 tsp??? Crazy! You got a build up; stop using it and flush your plants out a little; superthrive is insainly strong man......

Not to mention on a feeding regimen no wonder she has little leaves I bet they all fell off from being burned to death; you can't use that many nutruents and expect to get good results because they can burn easily; your nutrients you are using would burn other plants that can take high nutrient amounts

You should only use one bloom mix unless you use a booster which you should use a small amount; not listening to on the back of the box because you will end up doubling the dose.

So flush your gals out and do not use so much nutrients I mean that is a killer; I bet your ph is way outta wack tool when you flush your plants right after you get done check the ph after you flushed her good; also yout mixture is high in nutrients and with all the stuff you topped on her;...... man that is wacked!

Your mixture also may contain peat moss so that will make ph lower..... so get some ph test strips and after flushing very good test the ph.

You need to use around 7 gallons of water to flush that girl good
Use one bloom fert and some nitrogen so it won't end up getting nitrogen deficiency.

You need to flush out your gals and feed weekly at 1 tsp per gallon of water of bloom and 1 tsp per gallon of a nitrogen ONLY suppliment.

what would be a nitrogen only suppliment i have somrthing that is like a grow fert and is a 3-3-3. also i flushed them today with about 10 gallons and tomm i am going to give them some fertiliser. the fan leaves didnt fall off some ahole told me that i needed to pick them off so that the buds could get more light. shouldve asked you guys first ne way i am quite proud of myself for not completly killing them on my first grow but im glad that i asked you guys before i did. and i might be building a greenhouse for my ladies so that they can get more light but thats if i can find the frame for it lying around here somewhere.

NMoving leaves would be b etter but picking them off is only good if you are growing SCROG

Fish emulsion is a good nitrogen only suppliment.
