You can fill out the questionaire in the troubleshooting area for starters.
That will get you useful responses.

And, you could post this message in the sick plants area.
That will reach the folks you need to ask.

This is for indoor growing, lighting, nutrients, yield, etc.

In short, prime da pump.


All I can tell you from this post is, if by "armpit leaves", you mean new growth, that would mean the damage is recent.
That begs the question;
What's the last thing you did to her?

He'p us, he'p you.

Quit stripping off the fan leaves. The plant needs them for energy (photosynthesis) and they're a storehouse for mobile nutrients.

Provide a photo with a completed troubleshooting form. The more info you provide, the better the diagnosis. (theoretically)

Thanks for the input i can use all the help i can get. I will post pictures maybe that can help more

Fill out the flipping form, that is just as important as the pictures.

How's the mouth doing, Washougal?
Hopefully the rest of the dental work will go a tad smoother. :thumbsup:

beachbum: The more info you provide, the better the diagnosis and treatment plan will be. Copy-n-paste the correct troubleshooting form here, (there's one for hydro, one for soil) and fill it out. Since the plants that are suffering are yours...the ball is in your court.

Or...procrastinate, do nothing, and hope they recover on their own. If this is the case, prayer and fasting may or may not help...:jointsmile:

Damn..

Ok do your plants have fresh air? I see that you dont have an exhaust fan... plants need "new" fresh air to thrive.

Also you need a way to check and adjust your PH. It can be hell to try and grow without being able to control the ph.

I dont do the whole foliar feed thing but if you are spraying your plants right before bed it will cause a big spike in overnight humidity, which can lead to nasty things such as evil bud rot.

Also your temps are a bit cool. Try getting them up to around 75F for better results.

beachbum:

Sorry I was so curt, had a root canal go bad and had to have the tooth taken out in pieces and not feeling so good, please accept my apology.

Rusty, getting better but having to take vast amounts of narcotics, cannabis is little help on this type of pain unfortunately.

The first issue you need to deal with the pH of the soil and water. Otherwise you are flying blind. pH issues will ruin your grow and quick. Seriously, don't waste your time. A good pH pen is $20.

Other issues:

You should not start in big pots. See the link in my signature for some info on the importance of repotting. If you are growing hydro then this is not an issue.

Don't over water. Better to underwater than over water.

More information needed on your LED to comment. Likely this light will do well for veg. Unless it is a quality LED it will not take you through flower and even if it is quality you will benefit from additional lighting.
