WTF! never seen this before!

[swampdank]

doc. i have this problem and i have never seen this before. just to help out in diagnosis the pics arent of the closest buds to the lights. its only happening to two plants out of 20. anybody seens this before? i use sunshine#1 plus perlite and mushroom compost. compost teas of guanos,a little mushroom compost, and kelp. feed once a week with a tea and sometimes earth juice bloom. my girls are at day 40 bloom. any help would be much appreciated and will probably save these two girls.

Id say it looks like Sulfur(S) or Iron(Fe) deficiency. That slight red coloring could be Manganese(Mn) or Molybdenum(Mb)....Try looking at the sticky in this forum....hope I helped

 

[med_breeder]

it might be a mutation.

it looks varigated.

all those varigated plants that you see at home depot were once just a mutation that some grower noticed, thaught it was cool then started working on it.


good luck with that.


peace

looks like lack of(edit) iron

What wattage of light are you using and how close is it? What is the canopy temps; this is not sulfur; nor zinc, nor iron; this is a case of light bleaching; move the light up a bit; you just have too many lumens aimed at the plant. The power of the lumens has bleached it.

Hey esbe; I don't know if you know this or not; but the pic you are showing above was labeled wrong under one of the sick plants guide that was in the growfaq. That pic is actually an iron deficiency; zinc causes the entire outer perimeter of the leave to turn yellow/greenish color and can sometimes cause the veins to turn yellowish green while the rest of the leaves remain green.

Esbe; when did medjool pass away??? She was a good friend of mine who I have not talked to since OG went down over a year ago..... last time I heard she was having a little one If I remember correctly.... what happened to the gal

 

[esbe]

ups, didnt know that, thanks, im not very familiar with desease, hehe.

pm you on medjool

i use 1k sunmasters. two of em. the strange thing is that thse pics are from a lower portion of the plant. i have many sticky juicy colas that are closer to the bulb than that. the bulbs are about 24-26 inches from the bulbs. its kinda strange.

 

[MynameStitch]

Take a pic of your whole plant so I can see where the light is positioned; you growing different strains?

 

[swampdank]

a few more pics to help maybe...

 

[MynameStitch]

Ya, that is not light bleaching; from the pic you posted it looked like it was the top of the plant; this is a micronutrient deficiency; but esbe was right looks like iron deficiency....

I need to know more about your grow info..

WHat size pots are they in?
How tall are they?
What pH is the run off?
How often do you feed them; looks to me your mixture has a lack of iron... you have any blood meal handy?

Does not look like they are having pH issues at all.... looks to me it's an iron deficiency.

You can mix some blood meal tea; that has some nice amount of iron in it.

stitch, they are in 3gal growbags, 3ft tall. i give em a good compost tea every wednesday. diluted of course. i thought i had the micros covered but i guess im lacking. i be honest i have never tested my ph. i know i should but i guess im slacking. a good ph tester is on my list of things to order nextg week. i agree on the iron def though. i just fed them again today with a little ej bloom and molasses. i am going to take your advice and brew a bloodmeal tea. thanks for your help. we will see if it works.

 

[MynameStitch]

Great; would really like to see an update

 

[swampdank]

we will see what happens. im so glad you shot an organic fix my way cuz anything else would be breaking the rules thanks a bunch bro! the infirmary rox!

looks like it all started pretty fast and not yet improving. What changes if any did you make 5 to 7 days ago? nuw nute or brand change could be one of the teas (that ive no experience) a normal balanced fert will have all the elements needed for healthy growth although your soil should have been ok nute wise for a good month maby six week.

The micros could be there just not available to the plant. Greensand for instance takes a long time to become available. Bloodmeal is a quick Fe fix. If there is already plenty of Nitrogen the extra N may not be so desirable.

octo his plants are also showing a slight N deficiency that is just starting to show very subtle; but at day 40 that is to be expected of the plants to start to show a normal yellow healthy nitrogen problem one dose is not going to cause any problems because he does not have much nitrogen in his nutrient mixture; so this is another reason why I gave him that organic fix; fix 2 problems with one nutrient
