Hi
This is my first grow and i have a clone from a club. My clone is 3 months old tomorrow. It has gone really well except recently. Starting last week my leaves are turning brown at the tips and the leaves are sagging. The hairs on the nug are half turned brownish and half still white. What am i doing wrong, the only change i made was i trimmed some of the leaves off and my friend told me to add more water. please help me!
thanks
ben
add some nutes buddy i.e horse or cow poop or u can use miracle grow but the poop is much better for u n the plant so go to a farm n steal some cow/horse poo
cow shit would do..
make sure whatever you use is low nitrogen.
but yea nutes none the less:jointsmile:
thanks....i have fox farm nutrients. should i use that or cow shit?
thanks
ben
Make a tea out of cow sheet and use it together with fox farm and use ppm Ph meter!
never cut your leaves if they are in the way tie them back. but never cut thats like taking your plants engine out. it needs those to prodce the things your plant needs to produce those beutiful buds you want it also puts unneeded stress on your plant. good luck:jointsmile:
thanks.
Will me trimming some of the leaves make the harvest day further away? The clone is 3 months old. about half to 3/4 of the hairs are brownish yellow. Should i harvest soon?
you dont go buy the hairs your trichromes are what tell you when its time this might help you:jointsmile:
and how often are you watering if you fill out the troublshooting guide the experts might come help
yea man it will extend your flowering period.
when you cut off a leave the plant ceases all growth (bud development etc..) and starts putting its energy in fixing its wound.
I would wait a bit to harvest too:rastasmoke:
fill out the troubleshooting form.
It looks over-watered but without more information it is impossible to say. Don't trim leaves unless they are very nearly dead. That is the plant's energy/food source.
E-indoor
E-foxfarm soil
E-bubba kush clone
CSL-foxfarm
HCL-i have 2 t5 2-foot light and one spot light
SCLR-Soil
E-tap Water and i add foxfarm nutrients every other watering
E-Source water pH...i dont know
E-Age of plant--3 months
E-Type of fertilizer----foxfarm soil and nutrients
E-Lighting source and distance from plant--t5 and about 3 inches away from plant
E-Air temperature 75 degrees to 72
E-Lighting schedule-12 hours on 12 hours off
E-Type of ventilation your room has-i have a air purifyier in the closet with the plant
i water about half a liter every 3 days.i usually feel the soil about half an inch down and i water it when it is dry. Any other help will be greatly appriciated.
thanks

Not only is this terrible advice that would KILL his plant, but we do NOT advocate theft of any type here.Quote:

No, cow shit stolen from a farm would NOT do... it also happens to contain high available nitrogen....Quote:

-Your plant has been in the same pot too long. Read the flushing sticky at the top of this section and flush out your plants according to instructions. You should get a cheap drop-type pH indicator and expect to find that your soil is not only full of unused fertilizer salts, but also has a pH in the low 6's because that is what happens to old peat based soil.
thanks. here are a few more pics incase you see anything else.
thank you

Yikes. Open your closet door like, now, and get fans going. That plant is suffocated and may not recover. I would tell you to flush it right away to get all that nitrogen out of the soil that is contributing to the dark, dull leaf appearance, but unless your soil is quite dry at teh moment, don't. If it IS nice and dry, pour about a gallon of plain tap water through the pot.
That sudden turn for the worse makes me think that when your friend told you to add more water, it was too much, and you have now added root rot to the list of problems.
What size pot is it in? If you HAVE to do anything to save that plant, get the next size bigger pot and one bag each of unfertilized 'seedling starting mix' (there is a reason for this I will tell you in a minute) and perlite. Mix to 1/3 perlite and 2/3 seedling mix. Re-pot into this VERY LIGHT medium to let the root ball dry out if you have rot conditions, and keep that closet door open!!!!
Okay... why seedling mix. This is because at box stores, most of the potting soils are prefertilized and harsh and seedling mix is either completely unfertilized, or it just has a little bit of phosphorous in it for root growth, which is fine for a flowering plant. Why perlite? Because you are trying to increase air flow to ALL PARTS of your sick plant to save it, not just the leaves. Perlite adds some serious fluff factor to the dirt and can be a lifesaver for a sick plant.
You got your projects... now GO GO GO because that plant doesn't look like it's long for this world!
wow. thanks but before i do that i was planning on harvesting this week. Most of the trichromes are orange or cloudy. Would it be better to just harvest because the plant was healthy and fine until last week? and it looks like it should be ready.
thanks
ben
why does it need to be composted?i had a few plants mixed with horse manure and regular potting soil like 50/50 mix and my plants grew very well? how is that bad advice..and i even took dry clumps and scatterd around base of plant wich also worked very well...and about the stealing part my fault around here all the farmer ppl know eachother and dont mind we take manure so sry about that!!ask the farmer..and all n all i had very good sucess with manure fresh and old just my thoughts..
The only type of manure that can be used with little to no composting is sheep. Fresh livestock manure can actually scavenge nutrients from the soil as it decomposes.
I bet you were growing outside if you used fresh manure successfully- it is totally wrong in a potted indoor grow.
