Help Identify the problem with my leaves, thank you.

[ChrisBlaze]

I've read through so many posts but cannot identify exactly what to do to improve the appearance of my leaves. I'm attaching pics to this thread to see if anyone can tell what's wrong by seeing what I see everyday.

Your help is appreciated. Thank you.

Yo Blaze tell me a lil more about your setup and nute feeding schedule, looks like a Mg def or lockout... Dark green vains and pale leaves that twist and curl upwards.

These symptoms just started a week ago and have been increasingly getting worse. Yesterday I watered with 1/4 amount of nutes in my gallon of water mix. Going to continue for at least a week. Generally, most of the new growth towards the top of the colas is shriveling up, curling, wilting and dying WITHIN THE PAST DAY or so. Seems to be getting much worse. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated, Much love -Chrisblaze

Hi chris

Do you test the Ph of the run off after watering. I ask because you said that you don't know the soil ph but the ph of the water you add is 6.5. I have had many problems with soil and ph levels. For instance on my 1st ever grow i was growing two plants in soil. I would ph my water to 6.5 and I thought that was all good. But as it turned out when I finally started testing my runoff I found that the runoff ph was at 5.5 or 5.4 which is way to low for soil. The runoff ph value is a decent representation of you soil ph. You can also buy a soil ph tester at homedepot or at a dedicated gardening store.

When you water do you water enuf for there to be any runoff? Its important to let your soil dry well b4 watering. You want the water to suck down oxygen and wash away any salts or unused nutes left in the soil.

My guess is that you have nute lockout due to your ph being out of wack. I think
ThatBoyDean has it right.

good luck

 

[DEAN420]

yep sounds more and more like a lockout, your splitting 1gal between 6 plants in 1gal pots so your probably not getting any run off so your soil is getting toxic

flush them with half dose of veg nutes...

 

[ChrisBlaze]

Two of my Indica plants are doing good.
Why would these two be doing good if I'm treating them all the same, the other 4 plants are in bad shape.

Not only is the soil saturated but there is runoff.
Does that mean that I should increase/or decrease
my watering after I flush?

Just in the last day, a lot of the fan leaves are turning completely yellow and falling off with little to no effort on my Sativas.
Any ideas?

Thank you for your help.

 

[DEAN420]

if your getting run off from the amount of water your giving them, most of it is not getting absorbed by the soil... Flush your plants that are effected then, then start to water them properly.

 

[ChrisBlaze]

Just tested my runoff
4.5 to 5

What should I do, any suggestions

thanks again

Hi chris

How Can I Raise or Lower the pH of my Soil Mix?

Cannabis Plant and Pest Problem Solver - Pictorial

I figured that was it. Its one of the reasons Im going hydro full time. Once you get a hydro setup dialed in its imo the best. Very easy.

The links above will tell you how to try to fix your problems.

Good luck and maybe research dwc bubble buckets. Its a great way to grow

 

[DEAN420]

i'm gunna say it once more mate, you need to flush the plants that are effected....
