2 week flowering SOS!!

[erock0609]

I have a small indoor grow setup in my closet. Im down to one female after flowering. She looks healthy but has started to brown at the tips on leaves at the top of the plant and around the larger fan leaves. One fan leaf has even begun to disinigrate. (pics are below)

A few facts:

-I have never flushed the pots.
-The ph seems to be a bit low at around 6.0.
-the lights in my closet are a bit close to the plant.
-Im watering every 3 days, feeding a weak 8-7-6 solution every 9 days.
-the space is only able to air out during the light period of the day (about 8-9 hours daily)

I think this is a ph problem but being a new grower im hesitent to do to much. Could anyone please lend an advanced hand??

THANK YOU!!!!!:hippy:

What sized pots? The edges of the leaves cupping/drooping wile still appearing relatiovely healthy indicates to me that the plant is root-bound and needs a larger pot.

Pretty dark green colored leaves or is that my imagination? I cannot answer your question about soil ph....but I'm certainly wondering about overfert based on your photos.

The pot size is one gallon and the leaves are as green as they look. the plant has already reached hight limit for the space its in. If I transplant it is there any way to control the vertical growth? Should I flush her with water?



Thank you very muh for your posts!!!

Here's something that will help hopefully in the meantime.....

Nitrogen overdose is a definite possibility with leaves looking like that but the fert is so weak that I'm not sure where it would have come from.
Yes, you can control vertical growth- bend over and tie down, since you're already at your height limit.
I see burns not from ferts but from physical contact wiht the bulb.
Either way you need a bigger pot. Better to do it now before the rootbound condition decreases your potential yield.

Thanks very much guys!!! Ill post an update in a week or so.

Since my last post I have flushed my girl with 1 1/2 gallons of spring water. This was about a week ago. At first it seemed to help but now two of the fan leaves are most def on their way out. Is this normal this early in flowering? It only because my pot is a to small? Ive attached some images below.

THANKS!!!

Update:

The large fan leaves are still fading and the rest of plant looks great (BUDS:D) Most of you think it is a pot size problem (root lock) and I agree. Uunfortunatly I dont have space for more growth and I cant get a larger pot in my closet. Seeing I have 4 - 5 weeks of flowering do you think she will make it? Must I transplant? StinkyAttic mentioned a grow bag, anyone have experiance with these?

your '8-7-6' fertilizer is not the best for flowering ... during flowering, you do not want to add Nitrogen (the first number in the series) ... you should use something like Fox Farms Tiger Bloom, for example , 2-8-4 ... :jointsmile:

I just got a Mircle Grow Bloom booster 15-30-15. I've fed it once and am planning on feeding it one week later. Sound good???

thanks for the input!:)
