I'm gonna start posting pics of some plant problems..i'll know what they are, you guys gimmie your input on what you think could possibley be the problem.

starting with the slight problem on my big plant..

this is an easy one

for those who haven't followed my grow, i'll give you a hint.

a few weeks back i lost alot of undergrowth in a 2 day period. now there are some leaves looking like these.

To me it looks like a deffiency of nutrients. Either that or pump up the ammount of zinc in the plant a bit, any ways nice grow. I hope your using a PH kit :) Are you mysting these plants?

An acidic ph and an attemt to correct nutrient deficiency by over-watering, or did you just flush them?

well, i would say it's some sort of micro nute. diffeciency.........maybe manganese. could be locked out by a PH problem.

alright sorry about the delay. :P

dylan nailed it, except it's Potassium (K) lockout by ph imbalance not magnesium. good one dylan

p.s there was a debate wether it was magnesium or potassium when i addressed it with growing guru's around here.

more to come soon

yay.....i win!

well, i had the exact same looking problem a couple of years ago and fixed it with some epsom salt, so i was almost shure it was magnesium. i never knew that potassium looked so simmilar. i guess you learn something everyday.

good one bob. i'll be looking forward to some more guessing games!
