I'm not sure why this plant is dying... all the leaves are drying out and I have no idea why. please help! trich formation sucks too!!! im kinda scared its gonna get all messed up when im so close to harvest
i thought it might be magnesium deficiency, but now i have no idea. sucks too, cuz up until now it was doing great, but over the past 3 days it went from very healthy to this... its really kinda depressing
'Plant Problems' is where you want to ask this next time. You'll need to list more information if you want to get a members to give you detailed steps you can take. Hopefully this link will work: Troubleshooting Form
I've had trouble with linking to CannCom articles in the past, so if the link takes you nowhere, just head over to the Plant Problems forum. It's the only sticky in there, I think.
Follow that link, but my rookie opinion is over nuting. You should provide more info such as soil/hydro, pH, temps, etc. to get more help.
well i keep my ph at around 6, the temperature is a lil high, but it doesnt get over 80 F. my tds meter says the nute level is 1200, and I usually feed it 1000-1400 in flowering. i use dynagro bloom usually 2-4 mL per gallon, which is usualy 900 tds, and then I add maxicrop 2 mL, and thrive alive b-1 2 mL, or just until the tds is where i want it. what do you think?
and its also a hydro grow. just a basic reservoir setup i designed myself with a bin with the light sealed out and 2 12" airstones inside.
How old are the plants?
well i put them into 12/12 on the 22 of december. so they are only about a month into flowering.
any ideas? i know the light isnt too close, cuz the plant has like 4 ft. to work with, and the temp. at plant level is mid seventies. The leaves around some of the tops are just drying out... im at a loss
more pics... it looks real bad, help me please! i would jsut cut my losses and harvest now, but the hardcore trich formation hasnt even started yet... wwsd?
It kind of looks like a phosphorous deficiency from the way your vegetation is dying. Just a guess.

Until someone more qualified can help you out, I would tell you not to harvest now to 'cut your losses'. Even if it never recovers, let it go as long as it can to let the buds try and mature.Quote:

Maybe we can get this thread moved over to the hydroponic section, or plant problems. It'll probably be noticed quicker by the hydro growers that way. In the meantime, I'd take it easy with the nutrients you're feeding until someone can get in here to compare notes and see what's going on. Good luck.
ive had burned plants ive grown till they just stopped being green. (decent bud amazingly, despite 1-2 weeks early)
im not at all good with the nutrient advice, so i cant help ya much more then by complimenting how healthy the plant mustof looked before this problem-its got awsome branches
I've stuck this in 'problems' and edited the title so it gets more views and help... your nute level is really high and if you have high temps the scorch will show even more strongly.
Just curious? Does this stand for: "What would Stinky do?"Quote:

Oh! Thrivealive- lose it. Too much nitrogen for flower.
You really need to drop your ppms.
lol... wwsd... that's cute!
lol yeah, you guessed it. thanks for all the help, im gonna go with the suggestion that its high ppm combined with heat. i think for next time ill have to get some better ventilation. im dropping the thrive alive and flushing until I can get it some more nutes. ill be back with updates!
Throw me a bone. need more info fill out the form at the top of the page
what strain are you growing? :rasta:
its bagseed
no idea what strain.
it surprised me too, because before these problems, the plant was doing GREAT. it was really hardy with great stems, and the leaves had 9 fingers... the biggest leaves were bigger than my hand... its a shame really, but hopefully i can get some good smoke out of it.
dont chop it until its truly dead! (worst case itll end up dying and drying itself in the soil probably)
run it till she dies, and just keep flushing her until theres signs of life!
When I flushed, I also took a look at the roots... they look a little different than I'm used to... Is algae my problem?
Ok, so I flushed her until she looked a bit healthier, then the next day added 1/2 strength nutes. She still looks like someone put her in an oven, but at least the trichs are making themselves more pronounced. Hopefully she'll start doing better soon.
I'm hoping it isn't the lighting, but those roots don't look normal to me. Are they slimy?
I wouldnt say theyre slimy... but they are wet, obviously. Theres nothing that comes off of them at least like residue or anything like that. And also it might be the fact that the photo is real blurry.
Those white clumps don't look normal to me, is it just an E&F setup? I had some whiteish stuff growing from some bad slime build up and they looked sorta like your plants above ground. Do you have standing water in your bins? Do you use H2O2? I'm only at the end of my second flower/3rd veg so I'm not a huge wealth of info yet, but I can try to help you out.
You should fill out the form and you'll probably get more answers from the vets. Worthless posts asking "What is your temp/ppm/system/nutes" etc. are what filling out the form eliminates.
OHHHH I should have mentioned. those white clumps are just perlite pieces that fell through my pots
sorry
Quick question: is your flowering plant in the same reservoir and lighting schedule as the seedlings?
for now, yeah they are in the same res. I did that as an extra measure against burn. All priority is being given to the adult (nutes and light schedule). the seedlings were just getting tooooo big for their rockwool, so I took the ones with the most developed roots and just put them in the tub
I figured that the more plants in there, the better use the nutes would be put to, and I might have to fill the res more often, but at least my one flowering plant isnt sitting in stagnant over nuted water for so long
That's a logical conclusion to reach but there are a couple other factors.Quote:

When in doubt, add an airstone to prevent stagnation, and keep a regular schedule of changing the reservoir out entirely for a fresh solution.
hmmmm, thanks stinky, i didnt think about that. I do have 2 12" airstones in there. btw, the plant is doing a lot better, and theres a lil more growth starting.
Also, I completely change my res with a full cleanout every week or so. I don't top off the water unless i test my ph and tds and know it wont be 2 big a strain on the plants
