Closet Humidity

[Markass]

last pic I'm thinking possibly calcium is deficient or locked out... lock=again, see overfert + pH prob.
but you have so many things going on I am hesistant to point at any single factor and say, that's your problem.

with calcium problem, I've looked at pics in problem threads for calcium, have spots yes, but I don't see much as far as yellowing and falling off...that's probably moreso than the spots...the stems get really weak where they connect to the main branch and once are completely yellow you can merely touch them and they fall off..

Well this thread is 4 pages long and we haven't settled on a diagnosis, lol.

When in doubt,

-Flush your soil like a mofo

-pH your soil to 6.8

-use a complete fert, perferably cannabis-specific

-if your plant is more than 12" tall for every gallon of soil, or shorter if it aggressively trained, put it in a bigger pot with a quality compost and lots and lots of perlite.

This procedure will solve most problems that are not related to temps or humidity or overwatering or bugs.

Mark I got my dehumidifier and had no idea how tiny they were.....I was thinking maybe 18 inches but it's alot smaller than that. I've already ordered a second.....

Actually I'm pretty happy w/my diagnosis. I think you are seeing normal yellowing of fan leaves during flower and because they are dying they are the ones most likely to get leaf spot.......which is what I think that is. Mark may have a point about the baking soda but I don't think that is something that will harm the healthy leaves....witness those nice buds. The weakest leaves are taking the brunt. I thought that was normal for a plant.

Mark did you say that puppy brought your humidity down 10%?

yeah, I can say about 10%...I hope you're right, weedhound..it'd pop my top if my buds started getting affected..still working on getting a big dehumdifier

Mark these are your plants....you are going to live or die by them. (you know what I mean.... ) I am less worried about overfert, ph etc for one reason.....I know you've already dealt with both of these issues and have your eye on them. Am I wrong in thinking that you will not make the same mistake twice? That is what I am betting on. But ultimely of course, you have to make the decision what is best and I will certainly support you no matter how you go about dealing with it. These people have much more experience than I do in growing in soil.....no question there. I do think, though that you will have issues until you can solve your humidity problem. My feeling is that you are trying to cure an infection without penicillin or something......you can only do so much. That's why I think you need to get drastic with things. Cut those damaged leaves. Put fungal spray on a rag and wipe down your walls with it. The more proactive you get the more you will hedge your bets. (Disclaimer: again....you must follow your own instincts...)

My camera totally sucks w/close-ups so unless you want a shot of a big fuzzy blur I'll have to wait until I get my cool new one.

I must say though.....I've been an uproar myself since discovering my own humidity probs. It's funny how fixing one problem opens up the door to another. :wtf:

Yeh man ! know what you're on about there.Mark have you checked the buds for any sign of mold as if its in your room it will be around the buds ?the bottom of the stem of the buds usualy will show signs of mould as it spreads really really fast .Its a bad problem to have in flower especially at the half way stage.So as weedhound says take drastic actoin and get those affected leaves off and wash down the walls.can you get a hold of a sulpher burner and some sulpher tabs or someother method to rid you of it.
You gotta act now if you beleave its mold cause beleave me it spreads real quick and will affect the buds quickley also it yellows the leaves around the buds just like what happens natuarly in late flower. best of luck and hope you get to the bottom of it.hears a pick of a buds that had mold in the last half of 12/12 i never noticed till harvest time be safe the postman.

mark, i may be way off here, but, did you treat for mold when the lights were on? it looks to me like there was water on the leaves while the hps was burning, creating hot spots that burnt where ever there was water; i could be way wrong, but it looks identical to the problem that i had with my first shot with neem.

it looks like a deff or lockout, but then again, it doesn't.....

[Weedhound]

Hey Scarlet....I thought your gecko was a male.

Postman.....what a cool pic. :thumbsup: You sound like you've been there and done that with mold.

[Weedhound]

Tom I like a man (or woman) who stands by their belief. I will do the same. I get afraid of too many cooks spoiling the soup but realize these minds are excellent soil growers so will step out if Mark takes another route cause I sure don't know anything about soil ph etc and I don't want to screw things up for Mark which may happen if I throw something into a recipe that I am clueless at.

btw....love your shed. :thumbsup: That thing totally rocks.!!!!!!

Postman I can't enlarge that photo. Is that just me?
