Still having unknown plant problemsa

[Weedhound]

Only to try and untangle them as much as you can. I've cut off sections of roots in my hydro before with no ill issues so I don't think it's a matter of saving every teeny root possible. I would make sure your soil is airy (you already have a lot of perlite lol) and your drainage is good.

You said your plant died last time you put it in soil. What exactly did it do? Burn up? Turn yellow? Curl the leaves? Putting it in quality soil is supposed to have a GOOD efffect on your plant....not kill it so lets see if we can pinpoint why that happened as well.

Edit: can you get a photo of the roots before you transplant? I want to make sure the roots are healthy when they go into the soil to begin with or you'll REALLY have problems transplanting.

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

Thanks for guiding me throught his mate, im not entirely sure how you want me to take a photo of the roots ? I can try and do that for you

Im also not to sure on the soil. iv got organic soil (doesnt have contents or fert content) and i also have perlite. Do you think the yeild i can expect would make it worth my while ?

Peaceimp:

Well I'm not going to make any bets on your yield until the plant is doing better. Ha ha....good point about the root photo since I was thinking hydro....my mistake.

I don't know enough about soil to tell you whether or not your standard organic soil stuff would work.

STINKY!! HELP!!

Edit: Also, if that were my plant I'd try to save it rather than starting over.

yeah im sorta keen to plant it as its on day 7 of flower and its looking really nice and there is a fair few bud formations on it.

On another topic, for my next grow i was wanting to grow about 4 plants in a system (possibly hydro) and i dont think money will be an issue but i wanted something low maintainence and low risk of flooding out my room. Remember that my tent is only about 70-80 cm high and there is a 400watter consuming the top 10cm. What would you possibly suggest taking into consideration i am pretty handy and can get my hands of most tools.

Thanks heaps weedhound.

Darbolah put them in a bigger container.....if you want add some soil to it. Those plants aren't gone by any means....they just need some tweaking.

This is what I suggested too in one of the other threads.
You're growing in a very non-standard system, p[ractically trying to reinvent the wheel, when there are a few pretty basic simple systems that everyone here is familiar with.
I also think you are underfeeding- 1/3 strength during what should be a time of aggressive veg growth? Why?
I'm merging this thread too.
PLEASE stop making new threads, because we have to all go through the same Q n A process AGAIN every time you start a new one. If no one answers, it's because no one knows, and does not want to lead you in the wrong direction.

thankyou again, everyones been heaps of help. I pretty much rushed into a system that i probs shouldnt have used for this. Im considering alternatives for my next grow in a few weeks. The system i got is pretty much an auto hempy bucket right ? Anyways im using full strenght nutes now with a ph of 6.2, so im pretty much running everything just as the hempy-buckets guy has said in that thread.

I do think it is the nutes because it happened around the time i went from full strenght vega to 1/3 strenght flora. I probably shouldnt have done that but its all experience now.

Peace

why ppl have lockout of nutrients and shit, i didnt even know my ph and my plants are mostly fine, i think its a matter on going cheap on soil so we call "we get what we put in to it" no offence but its my view

I wouldn't necessarily call it going cheap but rather not being educated about the product you are about to plant your seedlings into. Which from the following sounds like you're apart of this same group:

Not trying to get on you but if you aren't even checking your ph periodically then you really have no room to judge someone else and their mistakes.

There are many reasons for lockouts and ph issues, some of which are very common and others which are more difficult to troubleshoot. None of which may not be in the growers control.

That last bit is just something for you to chew on and think over for a while :hippy:
