I'm about a month and a half(give or take) into the budding stage of my first grow, and I'm having a problem.
The plant overall looks healthy, buds are forming nicely, just recently started getting my first orange hairs in addition to the white hairs.
The problem is that some of the fan leaves, in random locations throughout the plant are turning orangeish brown, starting at the tips, eventually leading to the entire leaf, and whats left is a brownish brittle leaf(obviously dead)
My question is what is the source of this problem. I don't have a pest problem, I've checked for spider mites, and aside from fruit flys theres no pests in the room.
My initial thought is it is nutrient deficiency. This is my first grow and we're on a limited budget, so I have not had money for any nutes at all.
I used MG soil, just because we couldn't find anything else around here - and I think that has time release nutrients.
If this nutrient deficiency are there any inexpensive options to rememdy this?
I've seen things like banana peels mentioned, I'm just hesitant to do anything on my own out of fear of making things worse.
My only other thought is it could be heat related - the room is poorly ventilated and I can't do anything about it, it is what it is. But I'm using all CFL's, and the room stays between 70-80 degrees so I wouldn't think that is a problem.
Any solutions you guys provide could you also please give clear methods of preparation and delivery, I'm very new to this and it should be assumed that I know nothing.
I tried to look over the nute thread but couldn't match up anything listed with what was available at my local home depot, and also couldn't make out what was good for budding vs vegetation.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, I look forward to your responses.
I'm also hesitant about posting pictures - I really would prefer not to. So unless completely necessary I'm going to avoid that.
Thanks again.
