Ok so my plants are turning yellow with brown spots, its starting from the bottom and working the way up on the leafs. There are always laddy bugs on my plants(dont know if there bad, but they sure arent giving me any luck)

If you need more info just let me know, thanks alot.

Lady bugs are cool they are predators and so they eat the nasty bugs:stoned:
Photos work wonders.:smokin:

ya i know, but i cant find my camera.

[Divestoned]

Well..you dont know what your PH is,so im sure thats the problem.If you only buy one tool,make it a ph tester.You can buy a liquid test kit for about 4-5 buck's.

chances are, you're keeping the plant too wet ... cannabis requires wet and dry cycles ... best go find your camera :D

Im pretty sure thats not it, most of the time my plants get 2 dry and the leafs will laydown.

you better info, pix worth 1000 words/ vs/ words

droopy leaves can be either too dry or overwatering ... be careful with that. you can push it to 4-5 days in soil to really let them dry out.

the brown spot on the leaves ... are they starting around the edges? it's probabaly a pH lockout of calcium. tap water usually has enough, it's just a bad pH thing I think. It happened to me, I just lowered the pH a tad and they were able to suck it up better.

Get the pH dropper kit, I am pretty sure that is your problem.

Ok so my new problem is..


I found my camera and took the pics, but im having trouble uploading them 2 my pc, normally when i plug the usb cord in, it will automaticlly upload them but not now. How do i manually do it.

Normaly connect camera to computer to usb port then switch on camera and it should connect if not try diconnect and reconecting to the usb if that dont work when you connect go to start my computer and and look for devices with removable storage your camera should show up in there.
Good luck.

To find out if you are over watering just lift up you pot with with two hands and feel the weight of it if it is heavy then you have over watered your plant.
What other members have said about Ph is good info so its best that you get a good Ph tester its is an important bit of kit.:thumbsup:

[Rusty Trichome]

Ph problems aren't normally a 'spotty yellow' issue...usually it's a lightening of the green, slowly turning leaves to yellow. Yellowish spots with neckrosis (brown) is usually either overwatering (causing root rot) or a calcium defeciency.

Using "Artesian Well Water" I'm guessing it's a calcium thing.

Why are you using bottled water instead of tap, if you don't know your ph's? Can really be a big waste of money, in some cases...Do yourself a favor, and get a test kit or even better, a ph pen.

If you are going to keep using bottled water, I'd get some CalMag Plus, or something similar, asap.

No nutes...?

Ladybugs need a food source to live. They eat aphids, spider mites...
I'd grab a magnifying glass, and look at the underside of the leaves. If something extremely tiny (the ladybugs will look huge in comparison) starts moving around...you've got bugs.

got them(thanks green thing)

[Rusty Trichome]

Transplant those ladies.

They look rootbound and overwatered. Would still get a ph kit, and either switch to tap, or get the CalMag. Lack of calcium will eventually cause problems that are the direct result of using filtered water that has no calcium.

[stoned88911]

I took that pic right after i watered them, i will transplant them tomarrow.

Any chance the styrofoam cups is doing it?

[Rusty Trichome]

It sure is...it's restricting the roots. Any drainage holes in the bottom, btw?

There shouldn't be a problem with the plastics in the cup breaking-down and affecting the plants, but I wouldn't re-use 'em.

[stoned88911]

yes there are holes.

pH is something you MUST know in order to grow good cannabis!

very well put! most people the post there problems here always neglect to check ph run-off and usually that is their main problem! but ya check it and re-pot those babies asap

[Lit Up]

Ive honestly never had ph problems in 5 grows with no tester. I know I'm just pushing my luck though. But yeah, repot asap. I'm sure you know this by now.

Do you water with tap water or something else?
