I'm in my first week of flowering. I have a 1000HPS. I'm using foxfarm ocean forrest and light warrior. My ph level is between 6.5-7.0. The temp inside ranges from 65-79 degrees and the humidity is 40-50. My leaves look like they're canoeing and turning yellow from the edges and my new growth is tiny and funny looking. Please help

My leaves are turning yellow from the tips and edges. My new growth is looking weird also. Tiny leaves sometimes they canoe up like a taco. I'm thinking its some kind of deficiency.

Hi Benny, welcome.:)

What Dutch Pimp is telling you is the more info you can supply the better.

In this section, Plant Problems, look at the sticky's at the top.

Abt 3rd one down is the offical cancom trouble shooting form, cut and paste.

Fill it out as best you can, willing to bet someone will help you then. (In fact Rusty Trichome who put so much effort into making it, is one of the best plant problem people, might help you):thumbsup:

Hey Dutch, how you doing old man?

After doing some research its looking a lot like zinc deficiency. I would love a second opinion from a seasoned grower. Thanks

Thanks a lot. In your opinion if it does not look like a zinc deficiency, what do you think it could be? I don't want to compound my problems by doing things I don't have to. Thanks again.

check ph runoff. what nutes are you adding? how long has it been in the same soil?

Hi, I would definitely like to see the PH of the run off and the PH of the nute solution. If you can a PPM reading for both is also very helpful.

You want your PH slightly acidic at a PH of 5.5 to 7.0
Runoff PPM should be 800 or less.

I think since you are using FFOF there is a ton of information on suggested GH FFOX feed schedules out there already. It might do some good to hunt around and see what nute schedule other growers use with this mix.
