here are some more pics of my cloner i made this is were i started my clones and then i transferd the net pot into larger pot for flood table.and im using reverse osmosos water just in case anyone whos trying to help me needs to know.
if anybody needs to know more info please ask .
thanks for all help i hope my plants pull through i have alot involved in this task if you know what i mean:D
i forgot to ask should i cut the leaves that are looking bad off my plants or wait it out for a few?
The new growth on those looks good- Some scarring and deficiencies on low leaves is to be expected with clones; the leaves that were on the cutting when it was taken always seem to fall off or end up looking scruffy. It's only when you don't get vigorous, healthy new growth that you should really be worried. Your conditions sound good and look good. If you didn't pre-soak your clay rox to set the pH before adding plants, you'll want to keep an eye on them and adjust the res pH frequently until it is stable, but things look good up in thurrrrr.
The light green leaves in the middle of the plant, if they don't improve, are worrisome though. Would you mind posting a closer pic of the worst affected plant- the whole plant, showing the top view and a sort of diagonal side view showing both upper and lower growth?
Edit: You are using calmag right?
hi stinkyattic thanks for responding,
no im not using calmag didnt know i was supposed to lol..
also i sprade som fungicide 3 in 1 got it from wall mart is that good? here are some more pics. also looking at plants today and looks like other leaves are getting the same look to them just a little. thanks for all your help hope we can make it right;)
i forgot to ask you somthing else, can i get the calmag anywere else other than the indoor store?
because if not i cant do anything about this untill anouther day or two. do you think ill be ok for that long or not? the indoor store is close on sundays:(
Wb...are you using tap water or RO water? What nutes are you using exactly?
How do the roots on your plants look? Any chance for a photo of them?
im useing reverse osmosos and im useing general hydro nutes and the roots look good and white and strong nutes are at 900 ppm they was at 1100 and i flushed 2 days ago.
Ooh they got worse and now they look like distinctive Ca deficiency!
And we have a winner!
Your whole problem stems from a lack of calcium in the plants' diets. It SHOULD be listed as a macro nute along with NPK, it's so important, lol!! But usually you can get it from tap water or the soil itself, so hydro growers need to supplement.
There is a sticky by Latewood called 'GH 3 part and calmag- all you need'. Find it, read it, memorize it. haha.
You probably won't be able to find it at a place other than a hydro shop. But it's so important that even if you have to mail order it with a rush delivery to save your plants, do it.
The fungicide 3 from walmart is a cheap neem oil treatment, and is great for treating stupid mites. Be careful not to spray too heavily. Mist lightly, let dry, wait a day, mist again. It's good stuff but you can overdo it. Go to a once weekly treatment when you notice the leaves are nice and shiny.
can i use a remidy for calmag because my indoor store is closed on mondays and im scared to wate untill tuesday...
I can't think of anything offhand. If you are running the GH 3-part, look on the back of the 'micro' bottle ( I don't have my trusty GH Micro at hand at the moment or I'd go check for ya) and if it has a significant calcium content, you can mix up a spray bottle at about half the strength it gives for the res, and do a light foliar feed to halt the spread of the deficiency until you can remedy the source of the problem.
