Very Sick Girls-Need Doctor-Pics

[smoothy]

I have a yellowing problem that starts at the bottom and middle leaf tips, then moves to the margins of the leaves(leaves curled under) while veins remain green, eventually turning the leaves a pale -white color
Some leaf stems are purple and one main stem has purple lines going down it, also stunt growth and it looks like mini leaves growing where the old ones fell off and died

First, thought it was Potas def- started using MG Tomato Food-18-18-21-no change

Next, thought it might be lockout Nitro def-Flushed 3x pot size and feed immediately after using same food 18-18-21-still no change

Added 2 tablespoons of Dol LIme to 2 pots to A) make sure soil was right or neutral B) to see if it maybe cal-Mag def -Still same =VERY FRUSTRATED

1 Soil Grow-FFOF + 10% more Perlite

2 Temp-78-80 never below 65 at night

3 Humidity-30-35%

4 Water evry 3-4 days or when soil is drying up

5 Water ph-6.5

6 Add nutes to water then ph to 6.5

7 Runoff-6.5

8 Plenty of holes in sides and bottom of pots

9 No signs of bugs

10 Use 1/4 strength nutes=(1 gallon water-1/4 teaspoon nutes)

11 Feed = water, nutes, water, nutes, etc...

12 Water to pot ratio-3/4 cup Water to 1 gallon pot or when water starts to drip out bottom

13 Using 600MH light:S5:

im haveing the same problem with one of my plants .
i noticed there was no bugs or anything i could do wrong for them to go like that but i looked closer and saw my roots were sticking out the bottom of the pot it even caused the stem to turn purpleish so it meant to transplant .

could be your problem ?

[smoothy]

This started happening early in new pots-don't think its the problem

Some one told me maybe over fert of wrong nutes and not enough right nutes like N

Using 18-18-21 because i thought it was a Potas problem

Maybe next feeding of nutes, give MG 30-10-10 at very low strength

So many similar signs of problems!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My guess would be nitrogen toxicity caused by too much nitrogen. Fox Farms has a pretty high levell of nitrogen in there soils to begin with. I would flush real well with ph'd water for the next 2 weeks and see if it helps. There could be salt build up on the roots so they'll need a good flushing. Don't flush veryday, just use extra water on your normal days of watering.

So, no nutes for the next 2 wks, just extra water ?

I think Killerweed420 is correct :thumbsup: also, make sure you're not over-watering, let the plant dry between cycles, oxygenates the roots, and, lets the plants absorb their nutrients ... happy gardening :jointsmile:

Hmm, maybe up the strength of your nutes? Plant seems kinda big for only 1/4 strength.

I appreciate the advice and will flush for the 2 wks then start back on low nutes and work way up

thanx

I too over did it with blood and bone meal while transplanting ladies into larger containers, Two have died or are very close to dead even after flushing. I was hoping to give them a good start but know now too much isn't just about right.

This stuff isn't easy despite the fact it's just a weed.
