Leaves turning brown, drying and dying.

[Slevinkal]

My .2$ start foliar feeding, and continue flushing soil with water for a week, then go back to feeding at a 3/4 of what you were feeding. This way if there is a lock up of nutrients it will be flushed out of the soil. If you have some def, foliar feeding will help in the meantime.
Also I would remove any leaves that are damaged severely.
Lets play chess buddy

Ahhh... NEW INFO lol

Yes, they need flushing some more since I skulled the last watering.

IDK bout foliar feeding though, my RH is already higher than I want it to be and I don't wanna add any more moisture in there just yet.

RH is gonna be fun come dry time, S.T. has some hellishly high RH this time of year (96 high RH yesterday), Im hoping that when harvest time comes it'll be cooler and dryer.

I thought it was a nice touch. Kinda made up for your :wtf:

Touche

[OldHead09]

Any evidence to back that up?

I'm not saying its incorrect, it's just that I've never heard that before.

Anything is possible though.

No evidence yet but I have a good smart friend whom is going to call them and attempt to confirm, I will let you know when I fiind out.

I did some digging (google) and it turns out the you two, by far, are not the only peeps suggesting this may be the case.

I Think your being Touche...

Ask for options then PooPoo what dose not met expectations...?

Forgive me.

I'm not ungrateful for any answers given. :hippy:

Not saying that anything here is other than fact but when discussing fact or fiction I tend to challenge ideas, dig deeper and sometimes get mistaken for a ungrateful ass. It's a bad habit but none the less a habit. It could be called a quazi quest for knowledge and truth that pisses peeps off. Sorry.

Ok cool,

check it out. One thing nobody said yet so it might not be moot (I thought moot meant "open to question"), is EC or TDS reading. If you don't think you've overfed them, than it's PH and you already got that under control. But run a tds test and make sure you're non-toxic with the foods. You need one anyways just to have it cause it's cool. But really, if you get used to an EC or TDS tester, it becomes way easier and more accurate mixing food, it's better than the label. Between ph and tds, you can cook it up just how they like it every time.

Then they'll love you again. Right now you poured acid on them and burned big holes in their flesh.
Maybe you should get them a treat or something. But what can you give a plant to say your sorry. Flowers?
I can hear the little &^&^#es screaming now...

Another thing that is probably "moot", but I don't know cause I can't pay attention through the whole thread:

Do you have grow bulbs or bloom bulbs?

I've though of EC, TDS, PPM meters lately but scratched the idea just cause I'm so broke I cant even afford to pay attention right now. That also had a great influence on how I handled what I believe to be P def. The Schultz high P food was only four bucks and seeing as I was shooting for the P def and not lockout I figured a four dollar fix was worth a shot.

No on the bulbs. Their just plain old Fluoros with a couple CFLs down on the end with the smaller plant now. The larger plants is at the screen completely but plant C is still "gettin' there" so it was turned so that the shorter that hasnt reached the screen is bathed in CFLs since its further from the fluoros.

CONDITION UPDATE

Even though the pH of the last water/flush was low I think the high P dose did em some good! In the past 48 hours only a total of 2 leaves have gotten funky looking and the slow growth has ended cause these two girls have hit a mad growing spurt. They've thickened up a lot and new denser bud formation is noticeable now. Also, the soil is drying up faster than it has been lately so I guess their all thirsty as hell.

This being the case my short plan is to drop the FFBB down to bout 1/2 dose and mix in some of the high P nutes in at bout 1/3 dose as a supplement to the FF. Their next water will be plain water pH adjusted to 6 too.

Glad to hear there responding...

The only problem I see using the Schultz at 1/4 to 1/3 strength listed on bottle is the "N" is way more then they need in Bloom...

I found the PH Meter is most important any way and that will help you a lot now that you got one...

Ok. On the Schultz it says 7 drops per quart and the P is 14. The P is the FFBB is .3, and the N is .01. How much of the Schultz would you recommend to keep the P deff at bay?

Ya, I think the old pH meter was bout 75% of the prob cause...

[Slevinkal]

Sounds like your plants love you again

Not as much as I love them :jointsmile:

Here's the REAAAAALLLY cruddy news tough...

I'm currently un-employed and the new job I should (fingers crossed) be starting soon does a UA at hire and then randoms through out employ, and any prob or accident that arises is followed by a instant UA!!!

I'll hafta cut WAAAAAY back to almost no use at all but that wont stop me from growing for the Mrs and for the fun of it

Cutting back to almost null is gonna mean I'm gonna hafta take a lot of narco's and phsyc meds again. FU*@!!! I hate that crap now...
