View Full Version : HELP! Leaves shrivelling and drying out

Don't have any pictures yet.... but my babies I started around September and now she is around a foot tall...

I just transplanted her a few weeks ago... She was doing fine and now some of her leaves are just shrivelling up and drying away to the point where when I touch them you can crunch em like potato chips... She isn't that big and has around 5 nodes of leaves.. You are started to see hairs which leads me to believe they are pistols and she is a female.... Not all the leaves are drying out, just a few nodes... Not sure if I am giving them to much light, not enough light, to much water, not enough water...

I water them once every 3 - days or so... they are in MG soil... they sit under 4 100W CFLs for around 14-15 hours per day or so...

Maybe its just a defect in the seeds that they were doomed from the get-go...

Any advice is appreciated...

Not a seed problem if they survived long enough to need repotting... the MG soil might be at fault, read up on how to FLUSH and use water that you have pH adjusted to 6.8.
Crispy, shrivelly leaves is a good indication that your ferts and pH are really out of wack.

Without any pictures its hard to say, But If its grown since september and from what I rad you ahve given it just plain water with MG soil. I would tend to guess that the soil has run out of the nutreients. that it once had. Also the Ph of your water is probs too high for that soil so nutrients are locked up.

pictures are kee though. look for the Cannabis leaf plant chart on goggle. or in the threads it shows all kinds of bad things that can happen to your leaves.

try and figure it out..

thanks for the replies... the MG soil is new, put it in there around a week ago...

I use GlacierWater that I refill large containers from the store so its not really tap water.... I added addititional nutes using 5-10-5 a few days ago...

Temp is 75 and humidity is 45%.. yeah, I do need pics...

I'm new, but I was under the impression that you only want more Phosphorus (sp) in flowering, not Veg state... are you still vegging?

You burned them with the combination of pre-ferted soil plus additional nutrients... as I said, FLUSH!!! If you want to save them, do it today!

5-10-5 isn't really something I'd use on cannabis... the high P is good for flowering, but that much N is a little overkill and will make the plant grow leaves still. For veg, you want the N [first #] to be the highest.

Now get off the internet and go flush your plants!!!!
