What is your experience level?
Novice/Experienced (I have done LOTS of research and reading, but not much hands on experience)
Your medium:
1) Specific brand and type of soil?
Fox Farm Ocean Forest with Fox Farm Happy Frog Fruit&Flower Top dressing.
2) Size of container?
3 and 7 Gallon (two sets of clones, a few are older than the others)
Your nutrients and water:
10) Source of water?
Tap adjusted to Ph. 6.5-6.8
11) Method of checking water ph.?
Hydroponic ph control kit
12) Method of adjusting water ph.?
ph up & ph down
13) Specific brand and N-P-K ratio for each bottle?
Fox farm big bloom(NPK 0.01-0.3-0.7, current dosage 2TBS per gallon)
Fox Farm tiger bloom (NPK 2-8-4, current dosage 1TSP per gallon)
Feed every other or every third watering
14) How often are you watering between feedings, and how much per watering?
I water once or twice between feedings, about 0.25 gallons for the 2 gallon pots, 0.50 gallons for the 7 gallon.
15) Any additives or tea's? (Superthrive, CalMag, molasses, Mother's Earth...)
No
16) Are your ph levels stable, or do they fluctuate?
I try my best to keep water, feeding mix and run off water at 6.5-6.8.
17) What is your ingoing water's ph? ...your runoff ph?
6.5-6.8, 6.5-6.8
18) Do you foliar feed? If so, with what, how often, and at what time do you spray?
I dont feed, but I do use organic insecticides.
Bayer advanced neem oil, and monterey organic garden spray with spinosad.
Mostly to control thrips and aphids.
Your growroom:
19) Indoors or outdoors?
Outdoor
20) What size of closet, room or hut?
Open space
21) What are the temps and humidity levels while lights are on? ...With lights off?
Avg day time high 95, Avg night time low 60
22) Have you seen signs of insects in the growroom?
Aphids during veg but only once and they were gone, and thrips occasionally, but once I spray they are dead by the next morning
Your strain:
23) What strain are you growing?
Purple Lights (Northern Lights x Trainwreak)
24) From seeds or clones?
I have one mother plant which is from bag seed, but the only plants with problems are these 2 month old clones that I took from it.
25) Is this an autoflower strain?
I dont think so
I took pictures of separate leaves to try and show you the three stages of the "problem", before the leaf finally dies. It only takes 1-2 days for a leaf to go from stage 1 to 3.
Stage 1
294408
Stage 2
294407
Stage 3
294406
I thought it was a cal-mag deficiency at first sign of stage one, but feeding hasn't made it any better. Please Help.
