What's wrong with my garden? (new grower)

[epilepticgrower]

Hello all, new grower here from Colorado. I have epilepsy so I'm trying to grow my own medicine but I've recently run into some problems that I'm hoping someone can help me with. Pictures are attached.

I think the problem is Septoria Leaf Spot but I'm not sure, and I don't want to unnecessarily start treating my garden with a fungicide. Here's how the problem started: someone came over to take a clone of my plant. The next day, that plant had a yellow leaf. I pulled it. It started spreading to the other plants in my garden. Now everything is infected. I didn't see any spider mites. Now, here's a little history: we had a houseplant that developed a fungus problem after being outside and blown by a lawnmower. Little mushrooms started growing in the soil and I thought it was cool looking at the time, but that was before I had a MMJ garden. I'm thinking that the fungus spread from the houseplant to my garden when the cutting was taken. I'm not positive if this is what the problem is, but I am thinking of treating it with Safer 3-in-1 Garden Spray. The yellowing even spread when I moved ACDC from the dome to the garden, then back to the dome when it started wilting...it started affecting my other clones that are still rooting! I'm getting worried that I'll have to trash my whole garden :-/

My garden has great strains in it and I would hate to lose them: ACDC, Harlequin, WU5, UK Cheese, Blueberry, GDP, Juliet, Sour Diesel, and Sour Kush.

Do any experienced growers have an opinion on what my problem could be? Does it look like Septoria Leaf Spot? Will Safer 3-in-1 Garden Spray help my problem? At first I thought it was a nute problem, but when I noticed it spreading, it seems it's a fungus or a pest, but I don't see any pests...so I assume fungus? Any ideas please help! Thank you for reading

sorry dude:
Standard Nute Burn: either potup to 3 us gallon pots with 30% perlite to dilute any further nute burn, and avoid any root compaction,
work it so you got 1 gallon of soil each month the plant is with you, avoid using any fungicide so early in the plants life, by keeping a temp gauge and humidity gauge close by, avoid over watering and relax.
nothing here as so mean as mold, but do study it up, mold spores are always with us,
but as growers we accidentally set the stage for a visit by the Pm angel

good luck
ps let Neem Oil be your friend

that is not septoria leaf spot..check this link below to see what the real leaf spot will do..it looks like classic nute burn to me..do not feed them anything else for a bit just water only

Thank you for your response! Are you positive it's not Septoria Leaf Spot? I considered Nute Burn but the way it spread seemed very much like a disease/fungus. Leaves that touched each other on different plants yellowed first. That's why I originally had discounted nute burn --because it was affecting all of my plants, and also, the problem seemed to get worse when I stopped giving it nutes. I'm using Berkey filtered water. Right now I'm giving it Actinovate/Cal-Mag/Superthrive/Tappin Roots fertilizer. That would be great if it's 100% definitely not Septoria. Nute burn is probably alot easier to deal with

 

[epilepticgrower]

Phew, I guess 2 responses saying it's not Septoria means it's not Septoria :-D Thank you for your advice. A grower friend of mine said to give it just water only because he thought it was nute burn too, but my imagination got carried away and I started thinking it was something worse. Thanks again for your responses!! Much love and much appreciated

 

[vostok]

Heres a third ...lol

Right now I'm giving it Actinovate/Cal-Mag/Superthrive/Tappin Roots fertilizer...?

Technically this is a medical grow..? so avoid as much commercial shit as you can,
look to organics as a means and path toward a great medical grow, of concern these plants are very young,
so over feeding is most likely to new and intermediate growers too,
avoid at all costs of keeping weed with wet feet and it will lead to mold and fungus infections

 

[epilepticgrower]

Yes this is a medical grow. I have epilepsy, osteopenia, depression, anxiety, adhd, insomnia, and probably some other problems too (bad memory lol) I don't know what's in Tappin Roots but I think the rest are organic. I'd like to go organic all the way and I just assumed Tappin Roots was organic but I really have no idea what's in it. There are no ingredients listed. This is Tappin Roots http://www.amazon.com/Global-Garden-Friends-Natural-Fertilizer/dp/B00JE604TI

Also, what do you mean wet feet? Do you mean I should empty the tray that fills up with water after watering? Thanks again for your help!

Right you are, vostock! Fert burn.

And what appears too small a container for root/overall growth.

 

[Kygiacomo!!!]

im 100% sure that is not leaf spot unless its some new sort of fungal disease that just come about..if u look in that thread u will see what leaf spot will do..its a fkn nitemare to deal with

 

[aridbud]

Also, what do you mean wet feet?

Means, roots do not like standing in water with no where to go. Growth will be minimal until adjustments made.

Correct Arid.. see it as, I like Champaign but don't want a pool of it..lol

those fine invisible hairs on the roots just need a swish of water ...like us, on our tongue,
then the 02 needs to swim around those fine hairs, this whole deal relies on the plants sweating out
exacerbate to dissolve nutes in, then re absorb those nutes in the plants own sweat..
I think I'm pushing Gurgle Translate here:..lol​

IMO 1st pic shows signs of Magnesium deficiencies and other also shows Calcium def, maybe your not feeding enough cal-mag...I add dolomite to my mix cannabis known to be Mag and cal Hogs..I would flush and feed them..

 

[hush]

I see signs of nute burn, overwatering, and deficiencies. That generally means at least one, if not all, of the following: plants are rootbound, soil isn't draining properly, pH is out of whack, ppm's are too high.

 

[theother]

I don't see nute burn, I see more like root bound overwatered. Honestly, if anything they look deficient. Size up, and water right. Lift the containers, don't let them dry out 100%, but definitely let them dry. Hard to explain soil watering, but you will get the hang of it.

This gardens gonna look great once you get those sized up and fed.

What are you feeding?

 

[Wendull C.]

I see fert burn and magnesium deficiency. 2 tbl spn Epsom a gallon foliar and that will fix the mag. Def.

 

[StoneyK]

Flush well with ph'd water only run like a gallon thru it, slowly tho dont just dump it.
Ph the water coming out at the beggining then at the end, if its not at 6.0 or so keep flushing till it is
Then mix up a fresh batch of nutes I personally never go above 800ppm in veg an not much more than that in flower.
Dont go by the bottles, almost every mfg ive used has dilution rates twice as strong as what you need and mixes much stronger than whats stated on the bottles, CHECK IT.
A decent ppm meter is worth every penny an more.
Give em a light feeding then let em dry out,
Id bet youve been watering your drooping plants thinking they need water but its actually opposite.
My vote goes for locked out and/or over watered. Probably a combo of both

 

[epilepticgrower]

This is how they're doing now...any ideas?

I haven't been giving any nutrients at all but it's still looking like nute-burn, or maybe something else? Cal/Mag deficiency? Anything else? Thank you for the help! This is my first garden and I'm freaking out that the leaves aren't a healthy looking dark green.

Well this is how they're doing now. Any ideas?

 

[epilepticgrower]

I know the first pic needs to be repotted. I don't have a bigger pot yet. The other 2 were repotted a few days ago and are still showing unhealthy signs.

Is your room COLD? You need to make sure your air temp is between 68-78degF. and if your floor os cold, get the container off the floor. Your plants are showing severe deficiencies, namely Ca, N, and Mag, maybe more! Ca and Mg are not mobile in cool environments. The best advice was to flush and give a full strength balanced fertilizer. Plus, imo, you're using too many products/additives for a newbie, and going organic is a bad move for you as well but it's your deal...a common MISTAKE. I see you have a legit medical reason to get to harvest so that pains me to see all this terrible advice....If you want some advice from a real professional grower: Get some Miracle-Gro All-Purpose fertilizer and JUST RUN THAT.. No other crap! And you will see how easy it is to grow without problems. THEN after you get a real harvest, you can play garden games with bs cannabis additives.
