Omg i somehow thought this wouldn't happen to me

Well this is it. Got some problems while flowering.

This is what i got.
4 plants in flowering 3rd week. One of the plants is the one with this problem (only two leaves are having the symptoms)
Soil grow.
No nutes added (plain natural).
I use a veeery good soil that comes from a result from compost and worms :)
Watering with tap water

These are the pics. Problem started 3 days ago. Its not really huge now, but i believe that the tap water is not good and its bringing PH too high/low.
Please help save the chics from agony!!!! :thumbsup:

she might be a little hungry give her a 1/4 strength of nute's and see if it helps..

I wanna see whole plant pics.

Those fan leaves look stressed, what kind of lighting you have? Soil looks like it needs perlite. What is the NPK of your soil, just because it is worm compost doesn't mean that it has the correct balance of NPK. It looks like you need more nitrogen.

But then again I have not effing idea cause it can't see the whole plant. So if you would, please?

Looks to me like it needs more N, and the soil looks way to heavy, holding in too much moisture.

These are the pics of the sick chic.

Soil has NOTHING added. Plain soil. I could add some perlite on top of it if needed or should i mix the soil with the perlite?

You think shes lacking N? I could spray her some N-water solution, but i dont know iff adding N while flowering is good :wtf:

Thanks again:)

Hey Kmakok :thumbsup:

Actually not too bad!!! N deficient is normal in bud, but maybe a bit soon.

Soil does look heavy, and is likely holding moisture too long...but exactly what is it you see in his pictures that tells you he needs more nitrogen, even though the plants are dark green, and in mid-flower? I'm sure your heart is in the right place, but risking someones else's grow with inaccurate advise is not cool in any conceivable way.

Unless properly buffered and lightened-up, (ammended) compost and worm castings are really too heavy to use for indoors. Makes a muddy mess that will suffocate roots, and can screw with flowering. (stretches plant, prolong's flowering) Likely the existing source of nitrogen (compost and castings) are doing their organic job, and slowly releasing their elements as they break-down. You can't add perlite once plant is in the pot. (unless you can carefully tuck the perlite under/around/inbetween the roots) It get's mixed-in to the soil before use.

Can you wait till soil dries, and slip the rootball out, to check on root growth?
Anyway, likely I'd find a commercial potting soil and transplant as soon as possible. :thumbsup:

looks great about 4th week of flower you could start to see more yellowing specifically in older leabes as flowering progresses, as long as it is not to bad or super fast i wouldnt worry to much think of it as fall setting in

Nice. Whats a good proportion of perlite mixed with soil? 1/4th perlite and 3/4 soil? (im just guessing)

My bad -- your N looks just fine (I must have been stoned... ;) )

I wouldn't' disturb the plant just to look at the root ball. You'll stress your flowergirl.

I use 1/4 added perlite to FoxFarms or Happy Frog. Both are heavy mixes and usually need a little more fluffing up. (I don't add any when using Smart Pots(r) because of the wonderful way they aerate the roots)

On this grow, just watch out for over watering. Add 1tbls H202 (hydrogen peroxide) to all of your waterings -- this will help provide extra oxygen for the roots in your heavy soil -- also good to add when flushing.

You might want to sprinkle 1/4 tsp epsom salts on top of your soil. It will add trace Magnesium as it dissolves when you water. my plants love it.


those pix look great.

I love the correction with regards to inspecting the rootball. Especially with it coming from a newbie, lol. But honestly...you Mdm, are full of shit. :jointsmile:

As long as you are using it for the right reason, and are aware of the cumulative effects. But using it just to use it is folly. Learn proper techniques, and you won't be chasing miracle band-aids to correct your botanical boo-boos.

So add perlite to aerate the soil, then add a chemical (that if overused can/will kill the beneficial bacteria in the soil) in case the perlite didn't really areate the soil? Is it just me, or is this starting to sound like someone that has read a lot, but doesn't seem to have practical experience? Sprinkle it on top of the soil...? Hmmm...and you recommend everyone does this?

Ok, been gone for a few. Actually your plant looks perfectly fine! By the end of flowering you will want most of your leaves, mainly fan leaves, yellowed and dead, that's life!

Rusty, I love you man. You crack me up. I'd rep ya, but I gotta spread the love more before.
