Still having unknown plant problemsa

You can take cuttings from flowering plants. Usually about 2 weeks into 12/12. You can take them later in flower but your success rate starts decreasing in the fourth week of 12/12.

Still having unknown plant problemsa Hi guys, Iv just started flowering my 4-5 week old plants to find a female for cloneing for smoking (not sure yet) and iv noticed that my bottom leaves were turning a rusty/bronze/brown on the tips and working its way up the leaves. Also a few little patches appearing in the middle of some lower leaves. Now the thing is i was using a bad ph tester and i was under the impression it was around 7 and when i tested it today with a digital tester it was 3.8. So iv drained the resevoir and Rating: 5

Hey guys,

Lucky me all three of my plants have shown to be female but im getting some problems with my leaves (pics below). I think cause the plants are always sitting in the water they might have nute burn or maybe its cause the ph is always rising to about 6.4. Iv just cut back all the bad leaves, flushed the pots with neutral water and fixed my ph to 5.6 and added the lowest strenght of of canna flora a+b.

Im going to water by hand and would like some advice of the amound i should be watering and how often i should water. Also the most amount of time i can go without watering. Is there anything i can do to fix these problems as to water every 3 hours i will be waking at 4 in the morning everyday

Any help would be so great as im starting to worry.

Thankyou all

[quote=darbolah]Hey guys,

just cut back all the bad leaves,

A lot of my friends say don't cut back the leaves.
Wait untill they are ready to fall of the plant then give them a little pull if they dont come off try agian another day.

You're friends are right. The plant will let you know when it's done with a leaf.

Sitting in water = root rot or at the very least inability of the roots to process nutrients in the absence of ample oxygen.

I'm going to merge this with your other thread on the same subject, so we don't have to go over all the background again.

Edit: those are the exact same pics you posted before...?

[darbolah]

unfortunatly there the only pics i have. Im unsure of what to do at this point as iv dropped the nutes to 1/3 strength canna flora a+b and have also just done a flush so im a bit stuck. If it comes to it i will take 6-8 nice clones and start again in soil with absolutly no nutes. I would like to avoid this as i think iv been given a sign (getting 3 out of 3 fems on my first grow) so i want to keep going.

Anything else i can do stinky ?
