I have 2 beutiful northern lights and they are about 1 month into budding and the leaves look like they are burnt and they are hanging down like these plants are dyeing. I am using a 400w mh fixture( the same fixture I have been using and I have great ventalation and fans on the plants 24/7. I am using 5 gallom buckets and I used mirical grow soil t plant them in. Please help
pics brah pics wee need em
sounds like overfert to me tho, if you repotted right before you went into 12/12 and added flowering ferts on top of the miracle grow crap it will deminish your plants... btw what kind of ferts are you using>>>???
It's probably the miracle grow soil, search on that and see what people say about correcting the problems associated with it.
just water
no ferts
they look pretty dead to me. could it be extreme overwatering? the soil looks wet. did it happen fast or gradually? what's the ph? do you have dechlorinated water. also if there is no perlite added to the soil mix then the roots could be suffocating and rotting if you water alot and it doesn't have a chance to dry thoroughly. those plants are in very bad shape. if you give as much info as possible then someone can better help solve the problem so it doesn't happen again to your next grow. those plants don't look like they are gonna make it to harvest. mj is resilient so you never know but i would be supprised if those plants make it especially the second 2. good luck and i hope you have better results in the future. don't get discouraged, stick with it!!!
Ewwww...lolQuote:

my buckets have alot of holes that I have drilled for drainage
It also looks loke somthing was eating at the stalks, I see some small flys like fruit flys can that have an effect, if so how to get ride of them, what can I put on the plant?
Were they outside or inside ?
inside
Also, next time you decide to grow dont use that miracle grow garbage. Go to wal mart or something and buy a large bag of vermiculite, a large bag of perlite and a large bag of peat moss. Mix these three together in equal parts.
1/3 perlite, 1/3 vermiculite, 1/3 peat moss. This will give you a good substrate that has enough water retention to keep your plants happy but also enough water drainage as to let your soil breathe and get some oxygen to your root system. If your soil is constant soaked you roots will suffocate and rot.
thank you i do think that the roots could be sufficating
They do look quite sad indeed. If you pinpoint the cause please let us know...anyone's experiences help me. Wish I had an answer for you but....
Does your soil drain well? What's in the bucket? Cause in a large bucket like that, it may be dry on top when you water but not on the bottom making it soggy. How often have you been watering? The pic on the left looks like there could be heat stress but the pic on the right doesn't seem so bad. Looks like you'll get some bud out of that one. Are your temps ok? Cause the one on the left looks pretty crispy :(
:eek: Whooooa...bummer man. Doesn't look good. Follow our fellow grower's advice for sure. And stay away from the Miracle Grow in the future. I've heard only bad things about it on here. Good luck finishing this up. Keep us posted on how they turn out.

All three pics are the same plant. I took a pi in the grow area and then out of the area cause of the light.
What I did was prun the hell out of the plant then re planted it in a different bucket with more drainage hopfully that does it.
thanks for everything guys and Ill keep you posted
Hey guys
The miracle grow is the biggest problem,the time release ferts. ever time you water you are ferts the plant.Lights to close too much water all of these will
kill.Like Ginnas said mix peat moss perlite vermiculite this will let the roots get o2 and water.I use distilled water. it dosent have all the heavy metals in it like tap water.And if you have hard water it will give you promblems too.Or buy a osmosis system and you will have good water to drink and everthing.
And thats my story and Iam sticken to it
i think it is extreme overwatering combined with other problems ascociated with the mg soil. if the plant/rootball is not large enough then it is gonna take a very long time for 5gal of soil to dry thoroughly. so if you are watering every 2-3days then the lower part of the container is always gonna be soaked which is an extremely bad thing for mj. when i repot into the 5gal buckets i put a 2-3inch layer of staight perlite at the bottom of the bucket to keep the plants from having "wet feet" . if you are unsure of how often to water you could always get a moisture meter, they're pretty cheap and well worth it for the new grower to help get an idea of what's going on in the soil. i used one religously for the 1st year or so that i grew.
Second that idea about the moisture tester, only about $8 or less at Wally Mart and worth every penny. Hope they make it bro.
