That looks close @HPS Only except mine have the coloring on the tips as well. I did feed her twice in a row, in case she needed more nutes. I'm not sure that's it, though.hey bud,
I had same issue with the leafs, last grow, or at least kinda looks the same in my opinion
they kinda do look the same (the leafs) but pretty sure it's not the same.
at that point, I run out of nuts in soil and they where slowly starvin
also, when in doubt flash it out and start over.

I wasn't expecting to check in this soon. However, things are not going so great for this grow in the last week.
First, let's look at Linda. She's been geeting lighter in the middle lately. Now, she's showing almost purple on the edges of her leaves, and has developed what looks like necrosis on a few of the top leaves. I was supposed to hand her off to my brother last week, but I'd hate to give him a sick girl. I've been feeding her prescription blend with every other watering, and she had some SNS-209 added a few times.
I snipped a few of the worse leaves, which look to be mostly on top, and used a white backdrop to try to get the colors right. Anyone know what this would be?
The clones aren't looking too good either. A few of the tops are already starting to wilt. It looks like all of the clones have grown a new node, which isn't what I want. Also, instead of growing roots, they appear to be growing nodes under the water. I'm not sure why this is happening, but my best guess is too much light. So, I set something on top of the cloner to block most of the direct light they're getting in hopes of getting them to root. I also diluted the solution down from 600ppm to about 320ppm, in case it is too high and causing the tops to wilt. Finally, I pinched some of the underwater buds off a few of them to see what would happen.
It's still early for roots, but I don't like what I'm seeing right now. I'll hang onto the mother in case I need to take clones again. In the meantime, I'm hoping reducing the light and the nutrient PPM will help encourage root growth. Fingers crossed! And, any help or suggestions with Linda or her clones is greatly appreciated.

Good morning @Bill284 I'm giving the full dose of Prescription Blend veg, alternating water and feeding. I agree that she has looked a bit pale for the last couple of weeks. I'm using the same soil mix, water, and nutrients I used on my last soil grow. I have not pHed anything because every time I've checked PB it's been around 6.3. I'll check the next time I mix up nutes. And I'll probably flush next time as well. If she still has problems, I'll try raising the nutes and see if she is just a heavy feeder.Good morning Lake A
You said it's RX nutrients but no description of amounts?
Did you message @Prescription Blend and see what they suggested?
She isn't picking up nitrogen well and possibly CM, possible ph issue?
Rx is pretty good and normally doesn't show issues.
Stay safe
Bill
I think you will find your ph is drifting up locking out the lower end of nutrient scale.
I guess I need to quit being lazy and pH my water before I use it.
If I make enough guesses eventually you get one right.Wow @Bill284 you're the MAN! I'd love to know how you diagnosed that, but it feels right. I'll check the pH of my runoff next time, but I think that's the problem.
My last PB grow I fed every time, with no watering in between. The PB brings my well water pH right at 6.3. Since I watered to runoff, I never had any problems. Well, other than I went through nutrients really quickly.
Since I'm low on PB, this time I've been alternating feed/water. My water pH is 8.1. I really never really thought about adjusting the pH of my water
I've never had to use calmag in my previous grows, and I don't want to start unless I really need to. I have a decent amount of CA in my well water, and I know PB has ca & mg. If anything, I may start adding a small amount of epsom salt to my well water to balance the mg with the ca. Do you think I need the extra calmag?
I've never had to foliar feed. I did spray Linda with SNS 217-C when I first found the spider mites about 3 weeks ago, but I've used the SNS 209 in the water/feed since then with no problems.
Hope everything is going well with the greenhouse. I know you must be super busy, and I really appreciate your help. Give Howie a rub behind the ears for me
Thanks again for your help @Bill284 I kind of figured mg def when I saw the leaves and top dressed a little epsom on the last watering. Luckily, she's just starting to show problems so she should turn around pretty quickly.If I make enough guesses eventually you get one right.
It's showing as a iron / cm deficiency.
If you get your ph in line likely both will clear up.
Foliar feeding Epsom salts now will help.
Top dress and some cal mag in water first till it clears up.
Soil takes longer than coco say or dwc.
Sns works great and it doesn't appear as a pest issue.
If you had a root infestation maby but the bugs would be obvious.
He is a cutie. My two dogs are a pain in the @ss, can't even let them in the same room without a fight. Still, nice to have the company sometimesHowie is at the groomer today.
I miss him already, he is getting so big.
He stayed the whole day 9 hrs in the house yesterday.
Just him and the cats, no accidents nothing chewed.
He is just the sweetest kindest puppy.
I'm just amazed, don't know how Stacey found him.
I'll get a pic when he gets home.
OK, you're going to have to explain "got a little wood on the ball with your girls". Autocorrect?Hopefully we got a little wood on the ball with your girls.
Stop cutting leaves off.
Have a great day my friend.
Stay safe
Bill
Get a little wood on the ball is an old expression.Thanks again for your help @Bill284 I kind of figured mg def when I saw the leaves and top dressed a little epsom on the last watering. Luckily, she's just starting to show problems so she should turn around pretty quickly.

And, I hardly ever cut leaves off her. Well, I cut a lot off when I took the clones, but other than that I only cut leaves off when:
- The leaves are hiding the bottom of the plant and I can't water.
- The leaves are hiding a cola I want to expose. Even then, I usually try to tuck first.
- The leaves are so thick that air cannot get to the middle of the plant.
Now, I did take a couple of leaves off to show take those pictures, but that's because my camera auto-corrects when taking pictures of the plant and wants to turn up the green on everything. The only way I can get near the true color sometimes is to take the picture against a white backdrop.
I'm working in my office across the hall from my full drying closet, so it smells like weed paradise. And my oldest son is coming up from Richmond tonight to go kayaking. So yea, I'm having a great day!
Make sure you post a picture of Howie all trimmed up. Take care.
happy I could give my opinion
Until then I'm just waiting for roots to hit water.
On his last grow, my brother bought a shop-vac and just vacuumed off the mites & webs every night. This time I dropped off some SNS 209 with her. He'll get Linda to harvest somehow.Goodbye Linda...
Grow big and green wish her no pests!
The clones you pick look vibrant, few leafs are not such big issue
Cant wait to see them grow on that clean rdwc setup
I also love your tent and all the acces doors
Keep em green!
Well, I'm not really expecting to see much this first week. Not until the roots hit the water. Luckily, I can watch them on replay on the Wyze camera so I know they're not dead; they're moving around in there. GO roots GO!
