New grower

[Islandlife]

Morning all.
I’m new to growing and have 2 plants on the grow.a northern lights and Purple queen, both autos (for got to label which is which) . I’m growing them out doors in a small Pop up plastic green house.Most days I will leave the door open if I know the it’s going to be hot or dropped down but unzipped if there heavy rain, then close up for the evening.
they are in 20ltr pots with a John inns compost, I water every 2 to 3 days, and feed with maxi crop organic plant stimulant every 7 days. Plants ages are just over 60 days.
All was going up until a few days ago when I notice The leaves were stating to droop, and become transparent in spots. Any help or info would be hugely grateful

@Islandlife happen tohave bigger pictures?

 

[Islandlife]

Hi pk1
Thanks for the reply. Anything specific you’d like bigger pics of?

Welcome Islandlife, it's hard to say from way over here. i looked in the Pest and Problem finder in my signature below and found one pic that may resemble yours? It talks about ph and how to mitigate an issue. The problem is knowing if that's the problem. So some questions.
Is the pic I found very close to your problem, and do you think it is?
Are you ph ing all the water and feed unless you have buffered soil?
So while you're in the Problem solver see what else you might get from it. Cheers!

Here are a few pictures of ph spotting before nutrient lockout occurs. The last pic is shown is high ph with the twisty leaves. Note the edges are brown, this is a potassium deficiency that is caused by ph lockout.(Sometimes this gets confused with a nitrogen toxicity, so always keep your ph in check and test it often!)

@Islandlife the pictures you've posted are very small size and it dosnt really show us how the leafs look.
unfortinutlly i don';t know your soil or nutri that youare feeding.

however, I agree with stoneotter where with ph lockouts problems accure.

you need to do a slurry check To find out your proper ph of your soil, dig into the soil for about 2inch and take a half of cup from the hole. After taking the dirt add half of cup of distilled water and mix it every hour for 15min for the hole day. I normally check the ph the next day allowing the dirt to settle in the cup. While you get your pH you can also check your ppm at this stage if you have a TDS pen.

in my signature there is also a link to plant abuse chart. Go through these threads and see if you find a picture that is similure to your problem.

Morning.
thanks for the help I’ve added more photos Which include what soil they are potted in and feed, critter spray used.. checked the ph levels which read between 7.0/7.5 .
im wondering if sunlight could be an issue as well as my garden area gets a short amount during the day, From Around mid day till about 3.
looked through the Plant abuse chart and can’t quite distinguish which 1 is the closest.
Haven’t found any critters on the plants themselves but there are signs of leaves being eaten.

thanks again for all the help

Check plants at night time for any bugs, especially Rollie Pollies, the little armored looking bugs that turn into a ball! I have seen signs of the same thing in my outdoor vegetable garden and it turned out to be that bug, but they only consumed the plants at just after dusk and before midnight!! Not sure if this helps, just throwing some input out there! Peace and oh yeah, Welcome to 420 Magazine Forum!!! Where growing Cannabis is as good as getting high of it!!!

Hey Island,

Welcome to the help forums at 420 magazine! Plants are nice but a bit leggy - looks like bugs (maybe thrips?) have gotten to work on leaves too. Hang out here and we will get you tuned up.

Ah crap just saw the flowers so had to edit useless crap out there but..... Insect soap, neem, BT and mosquito dunks are your friends here too. Get mosquito dunks and break one or two up into fine bits and cover top of soil. Soak a 1/4 dunk in 5 gallons water for your watering / feeding cycles.

Best of luck!

Good morning @InTheShed , does this look like a mite issue to you?

Could be mites or thrips, but definitely something else as well. I would use an insecticidal soap (like Safer's, which is potassium salts of fatty acids), and wash it off about 15 minutes after spraying so it doesn't affect the pistils.

I used to have a little dog, a Yorkie, who ate those damn things.
He loved em.
Made em pop in his mouth ... **shudder**

If he was still alive I'd send him over to your house to graze.
He wudda done it too.
