First grow plz help 16days in flower w/pics

let me start by telling u the prob - yellowing and curling under in lower leaves moving upwards quick also small bud leaves are curling and dieing and purple stems which have been there all along on the bright side the buds are growing and there awesome i dont wanna lose em!

plant first sprouted 9-14-07
induced flowering on 11-12-07 under two 70 watt hps up top
and seven 17 watt fluro tubes on sides in a 2x3 area. temp is 80 with lights on and humidity is 50%. i have exhaust so the plants have constant fresh air.


plant is in 3 gal bucket with mg soil.
I didnt start using fert until flower im using mg all purpose 15-30-15 and using the smaller reccomended dose 1/4 tspn per gallon everytime i water. I added a small amount of epsom salts a few times and recently sprinkled a pinch of bonemeal 6-9-0 on the top of the soil. for my last water i added molasses too.

plz help, thanks

going to buy a ph tester for my water today. my soil is just bearly over 7

lower ph a little to 5.8-6.6ph. you are using a good veg. fert, but not for flowering.

get ones with very little N. ( low-high-high numbered fertilizers)

prob a ph problem

however, ive fogotten whether ph affects all plant at once or not. the starting at bottom and moving upwards is commonly something in water (amount of water/nut levels)

still, check the ph and consider getting some flowering nutes.

They look very hungry...PH your water before you water them and you wont have to worry. For soil 6.4ish is great.

Okay kid, I'm fed up with your crap.

Proper pH for soil is NOT 5.8-6.6, it's in the mid to upper 6's.

The OP said he was using a fert at 15-30-15. This is NOT a good veg fert. It's more appropriate for flower- a bit much N to be flowering cannabis, but six of one plus half a dozen of the other means that you are full of SHIT.

I have warned you SEVERAL times- in rep messages, PMs, and on the boards. I told you that continually posting WRONG information that could fuck up other peoples' grows, start flame wars, and create a shitstorm for me to clean up after on the daily would reult in a BAN.

You chose not to listen to me. You chose not to listen to ALL the other members who have warned, scolded, chided, and even FLAMED you for posting like an imbecile who is trying to look all big and experienced when in fact with the advice you've been handing out I doubt you could grow a turnip.

You leave me no choice. When you return in 2 weeks, remember that we are born with two ears and one mouth, so that we may listen twice and speak once.

Stinky, good move! But you'd better copy and paste this to clipboard. You're going to need it again in a three weeks. Remember Karma?

lol yeah... So well, in fact, that I ran an IP check... unless ".:karma:." has learned to both type AND use a proxy (highly doubtful in THIS universe... possibly a parallel one), this isn't a reincarnation.

Well... the typing bit is all relative...

i went to the hydroshop and the cheapest ph tester was $97 i didnt buy it...

i've been using this water all along and it was never a prob....im going to flush..

i bought some flora gro flora bloom and flora micro ferts and some carbo max

i'm gonna use the better ferts from now on.... the yellowing has spread up to the middle

branches and the ones that started to turn yesterday are like banana yellow today its happening quickly am i doomed????

go on ebay and you can get one for $20

Hawaii - If you want to grow mj indoors you absolutely MUST know your pH. If you can't afford the $97 meter, buy a liquid test kit for $9 or get some litmus paper.

pH is like the foundation of a house. You can build the most beautiful house in the world but, if your foundation crumbles, so will the entire house.

The purpose of flushing is to clean the soil and correct the pH. If you don't know the pH of your flushing water, how are you going to use it to correct the pH?

I have heard from my chron shop guy, he owns the longest open chron shop in MI, so i tend to trust him. He told me that ur soil's Ph shuold eventually change to the Ph of the water u put into it, ie- if u continually put in Ph 6 water ur soil it should configure itself to a 6, if all else is going right with the plant and soil etc. etc. ie no salt build up, shiut like that..

I simply heard this, it is not advice, just something to think about, I am not telling u to do it.

Stinky dont ban me please lol...... JK stinky, i hold the words u speak very valuble to me as a new and learning grower :thumbsup:. I have learned not to listen to about 80% of the people who speak on this forum, pry why my first gro went bad....

same things are happening to my girls

Would you mind starting a thread about it rather than resurrecting a year-old flame war? And fill out the troubleshooting form while you're at it. We need that info to help you, since every grow is different.
