I've tried asking this one before and no one replied... Fist the question I need answered the most, I'll be checking this every few minutes hoping that one answer will tell me what to do. All the transplanting info I find is for clones. What is best to feed a freshly transplanted early flowering plant? DO I give it Super thrive, Root Juice, or Root 66 for more root growth, or do I feed it just the nutes for flowering? I have not watered them and am hoping someone sees this in the next few hours. Not sure how long the plant can sit in dry soil without perishing. TY!!!
Now the rest.... the photos and problems are little changed since my last thread asking for help. :-(
I have 2 plants in flower (only 2 weeks) and 4 in veg, 4 different strains. They all get the Technaflora nute feeding schedule and until now have all received the nuted for growing, not flowering. Each of the 4 strains has a completely different nute problem, text book pics matching all the ones I see online and in books, plus a few more I don't figure. All are in soil, water, water, nute schedule.
I've run out of ideas!! The water PH is at 6.0 (out of tap 6.8) and I sit the open jugs out a few days to evaporate chlorine. The soil PH is at 6.0 too. Every 2 days, I'm trimming about 15-20 damaged leaves off the largest plants and 1 or 2 off the small ones.Today I had to transplant the 2 flowering ladies into 6 gallon pots. I'm sitting here debating what to feed them.... super thrive, or Root Juice, or the technaflora schedule for flowering plants that includes Thrive Alive, Awesome blossom, sugar daddy, MagiCal, BS Bloom, and BC Boost. The vegging plants don't get the Awesome blossom or bloom. I have Root 66 too, seems useless.All the nutes these leaves show are missing are contained in the fertilizers I give them! It's been over a month and the plants are getting worse daily. Even the clones I took show the same probs as the plants I took them from. I am out of ideas!!!! I even flushed the heck out of them 2 days ago and they are no more happy than before. Wilted weak leaves and stems... so many problems. There problems started before i bought the technafolora nute kit, so no blame there. I've been fighting the problems since the flowering plants were just seedlings!
Please, can someone help me before I kill everything? I have plenty of pics and will list me best guess of the problem for each one. Here's the latest pics, which are also in my journal:
Shiva Shanti II clone in flower for 2 weeks. Transplanted form 3 to 6 gallon today. She shows Magnesium def for sure, plus Sulfur, Nitrogen, Calcium, and or Iron def. Probs. The leaves start with The edges yellow with green veins, then streaks of pale yellow and green on the leaves, finally all yellow with purple veins. Each day I find more leaves doing this! Her growth and roots look great!? Both new and old leaves are effected. Few of them are growing to full size. The leaves of the clones and the undergrowth of the the adult taken from this plant clearly match the description for Magnesium. Many doses of MagiCal have done nothing. I think it also has N probs too. The pics are from this week. I need to shrink the new ones. This is "Fluffy". Gotta name them to keep track of them!
Next is the White Skunk, grown from fem seeds form White Label. This strain has been a pain in the A since it sprouted! To me, it screams Phosphorus def, and potassium, plus a few others. The older growth is effected with dark green leaves that have week bendy stems and soft drooping leaves. After the drooping, the spots around the edges are next followed by brown spots and yellowing, or on some leaves dark purple. It gets all of these nutes in it's food! Thus I also just transplanted today, I'll leave her in her new pot, un-watered, until I hear what to do! All plants were flushed a few days back and look no better or worse. This cranky strain is acting very similar to the Bubba Kush clones I bought. I should add all of these have been given the best of the best Optic Foliar spray, identical to the Dutch Master trio with saturator, liquid light etc,. Fist page of my journal has the details. Spray-n-grow has also failed to help. This plant is names "Twister" because the dang leaves like to flip and twist:
Next are the healthy thriving Bubba Kush Pre98 clones. I will never buy cones every again. What a pain! These 2 are acting almost identical to twister above, but not as severe. The plant clearly has Phosphorus issues with the dark green and dead purple patches on the older leaves. These also the weak stems and drooping lower leaves, but not as bad as Twister. It gets plenty of phosphorus in it's nutes. WTF?!
In these pics, the dark green fat leaves are from these 2 clones:
Despite the problems, they are growing faster than I can repot them, every 4 days. Wierd! See how otherwise healthy they look?!
Last... The Grand Daddy Purple clones I bought. I've had them a month and am desperately trying to coax them to live. It was the only clones the dispensary had to offer and they were pale sad things. One is at least trying to grow, the other sits there, pale green and yellow with large brown blotches on the older leaves, new ones each day. Good root growth though?! These 2 are the small clones in the photos. They are only 10 days younger than the healthy BBK clones in the photo! This strain does nothing for my pain, but was the only choice to replace the seeds I bought which never germinated. My best guesses are Potassium, Calcium, or Manganese defs. ??? Again, they are fed the same as the rest. :-( Pics of the tiny yellow clones are these 2:
OK folks.. my only guess to this is PH problems. However, my PH looks good to me??!!! Should I raise it to 6.5 from 6?? What is going on here? I'll add the new photos later, here and in the journal from hell. I'll try anything, just name it! At this point, I'm having more fun testing some of my unusual unique growing gadgets than growing the plants. I have found 2 inventions so valuable to growers, anyone stocking them will be the only in the US. I'm inviting the owner of the local hydro shop over for a tour and business proposition. I can't demo these gadgets if all the plants die! LOL I have a few more days to rescue them. <sigh>
What am I doing wrong?! TY for any little tidbit of info all you better growers will share.
