Awesome I'll have to try this. Been looking for a cheaper alternative to an inline fan. Good luck on your grow man I look forward to watching your girls grow.

so I have been noticing the tips of some of my plants are almost turning white/twisting upside down? kind of making me worried now that I am seeing it on more than one plant. any ideas on what it could be?

thanks hope to hear some suggestions

thanks Ternamaste!

Ofcourse! Feel free to stop by and throw any info my way! Haven't really gotten started yet, trying to get my environment under control.

 

[thenewgrower]

I will be sure to stop by! I enjoy coming up with ideas on keeping stable temps and even air movement, its what I do for a job

That definitely looks like a zinc deficiency to me mate. Or magnesium. I got this information here: Cannabis Nutrient and Deficiency Table

A reputable bank in the uk with quite a bit of useful information for its consumers.

Another useful disease guide-TONS of information and relative pictures of different stages.: Complete Guide To Sick Plants « Bugs, Pests & Diseases « OpenGrow

that's a good link, thanks Terrnamaste! I agree with It being zinc issue looks and sounds just like my plant, I think I will try the nail method and see how it treats me!

well I have my Scrog built, will throw it on tonight or tomorrow. As for my issue with the zinc, I think I am going to try some of my FF nutes which have a little zinc in them. So I plan on holding off for another day or 2 then watering with some nutes added. I still cannot upload pics for some reason. If anyone else is having that issue let me know so I can stop going crazy thinking its my computer lol.

Dang, I really wanna see pictures of your scrog. Thinking about making one out of pvc for my tent once I can stuff her full of autos!

Really hope you can figure out what it is, lol. What all did you use for it? And how high will it be sitting from the top of the pots?
No luck with the nails?

 

[thenewgrower]

alright well, I have successfully been able to upload pics twice but I can not get any more to upload again lol. idk what is going on.

so sorry for the bulk of pics, I uploaded many as I could before it crashed again.

here are some pics, some of them are from a day or 2 ago. I just watered my WW right before I took these. they got kina of droopy when I watered them and took them out of light for a little bit. They were reaching to the light before I watered.

I will be setting my SCrog on tonight or tomorrow as of now.

I did decided a few days ago to give the Amnesia Trance another shot at training her, and she responded well so I also cut some inner leaves off. she seem to be doing good minus the possible zinc issue like all the other plants. (tips twisting?)

 

[Terrnamaste]

It kind of looks like you're watering them too often.(The droopiness) Are you making sure the soil drys out well before you water?
Are you checking the bottom of the pot to see if its dry, or using your finger an inch deep to check?

 

[thenewgrower]

yes I should have waited another day or 2. I got a bit antsy with the zinc issue and tried to help them, which hurt them a bit more going to let them run a couple days and see what happens.

Definitelyy. Remember, letting your girls go a little bit too long without water isn't all that bad for them. Yeah, it'll stress them out a little, stunt their growth for 1/2 a day or so; but when you drown them and overwater, it causes A LOT of damage, in a very small amount of time.
Cheers mate.

 

[thenewgrower]

it must of because they instantly drooped with in 2 mins of watering lol. I will just have to be extra nice to them next few days is all... I hope..

looking at it on the bright side, now my Biancas and Amnesia Trance have time to catch up to the WW

Smoke a bowl with them, let them know it'll be okay. As long as you're careful for the next day or so, they'll be fine!
The white does look a little better though, it might just be the pictures, but it looks like it's going down a bit!

 

[thenewgrower]

yeah the droopiness kind of took away the twisting that was happening with them, when I watered I added 1tsp of Fox Farm Grow Big in the gallon of water. It has zinc in it so I figured why not, its been roughly 3 weeks in this soil with no nutes. I just went and checked on them and my gosh they are reaching for the light like crazy lol.

 

[Terrnamaste]

These are all Photoperiod, yes? Do they not need nutes til week 3 or so, like Autos do as well? or did you use a heavy nutrient mixed soil?
