I've been troubleshooting here at CanCom for a few months, and still I have problems deciphering the other form.
Since I had a couple of days of free time lately, I came up with these revised forms. (one for soil, one for hydro)
If you think this is easier to use or understand, or if there is anything I missed, please chime-in.
Also, if the mods would prefer I could start a fresh thread for these, but I never got a response when I asked.

Fill out the form and someone will get back to you.....If I were to guess I would say a Mn(Manganese) or Ca (Calcium) deficiency.

PS. I liked the new form by RT so I posted it. You will be the first to fill it in that I know (if you do)

Yea, we need a bit more info.

When you say you used "some" organic ferts and they "didn't work" I'm guessing that you used too much, too often, and the more you use, the more damage you will get.

Even organic ferts will burn the crap out of your plants if you use too much.

Hi here is my novice plant diary ;0)


Plant Diary

April 28-29
soaked 9 seeds in distilled water 24 hrs

April 30
planted 9 seeds in peat pellets

May 2
Himalayan seed sprouted no other shows signs of life

May 3
one other plant sprouts no others show signs of life

May 5
planted both in individual 5 gallon buckets - organic miracle grow planting soil mixed with perlite. Watered plants

Construction: large tub to hold two 5 gallon buckets. Three lights 6500k daylight using two clamp reflector units and one hang over.

Lights three inches from plants.

Growth todate three inches plus.

May 8
Both plants have third tier growth propped soil both leaned slightly from weight

May 9
Upgraded lights GE daylight 100 (26watt) 6500k - 1600 lumens cool natural light CFL / Himalayan and indigo has three reflectors total 300 (78watt) 19500k and 4800 lumens

watered plants

The upgrade of lights/reflectors will help in later stages of plant resin thc content should maximize along with a stronger stem and better light as plant bushes.

May 11
Healthy and growing straight

May 15
Strong much fuller leaves longer - watered plants

May 19
Growing bushy Himalayan strong stem

May 22
Plants show strong stem growth - bushy green healthy leaves growing outward towards light fan leaves grown to inch plus - amazed at the sweet scent almost intoxicating.

May 23
Watered plants

May 31
Watered plant - Himalayian leaves dry bottom leaves orange dying other plant
very strong healthy.

June 1
Transplantedto individual tubs for optimal bushing.

June 3
Rearranged plant lights due to burning of leaves too close before also placed in individual rubbermaid bins for easier care - bushy and growing some leaves dried up yellow too close to light problem should be resolved with new structure - watching for any other problems to ensure health of plants.
Watered throughly both plants.

June 7
Watered plants removed dead leaves
Looking healthy.

June 9
Power went out estimated at 6pm
Power back on at 12:50am roughly 7hrs off

June 11
Watered plants healthy growth status.

June 16
Himalyian 26 inches
Unknown 19 inches

Watered plants look healthy
Need to construct better light holders for plants too tall for current.

June 17
Constructed better lighting situation for plants - moved lights to avoid burning.

June 18
Used nutrient organic miracle grow to solve Nitrogen defency. Observing plants overall reaction to addative.

June 21
Watered other plant need Epsom salt lacks magnesium

June 22
Watered Himalayian
Himalayian 29.5 tall
Other 22 tall

Both plants in basement I use bottled water and tap water
the reflector is an aluminum refector currently 10 total 5 for each plant
pics to follow - all miracle grow soil and plant food.

Forget the plant diary or posting anything else. Fill out the form posted with your information if you want to get some help. Not trying to be rude but you'd be surprised how many people just come with pictures and two lines of text and want answers, and bump their post every 5 minutes. If we don't have ALL the info, we can't help you.
