Hey folks,
Sorry this is being posted week after it started. I have to borrow a computer since my ipad (to replace me dead computer) won't load pics to the internet. :-(
5 days ago, I opened my flower tent up only to find the 2 plants (60 days at 12/12) are turning colors. The Shiva Shanti has all it's fan leaves goring yellow with green and purple veins. Any time something is not right, this strain has it's fan leaves go yellow. The other plant is a White Skunk which is turning the color of maple tree fall foliage. Neither plant is anywhere close to harvest. The White Skunk has only tiny buds. Other symptoms, the pistils on these buds where just starting to turn the normal orange, but now are shriveled up and 1/2 dead. The buds are immature with sugar just not showing on the bud leaves. I know plants go all sorts of colors at the end, but the effected leaves are drying up and dying, then not dropping off the plant. ?! I can't find a photo of any other purple White Skunk. It's from White Label seeds.
*** Here's the kicker... The 2 BubbaKush pre98 plants in the tent look healthy and are on the exact same schedule and nutes as the two sick plants! WTF?! The 2 sicks ones are in 5 gal pots, 2 BBK in 3gal pots, and 2 GSPs in 2 gallon pots. All other plants are healthy. Veg and flower room are 100% bug free and no plants are brought in. They were sprayed once with mild "Don't Bug Me" before going to the flower tent. I stopped spraying at all after these. All in Soil free mixes and in Rootmaker 5gal pots.
Here's what I did before to these plants:
1) I fertilized them on Feb 25, 8 days before this happened. They got BC bloom, BC boost, Awesome blossoms, and 2 drops super thrive/ gallon. (The BBKs were trans to 3 gal on this day and fed the same nutes)
2) All plants in perpetual grow are on individual water, water, feed schedule with a flush once a month. PH water is 6.5 and temps between 66 and 74.
Here's what I tried after finding the problem on the 5th:
1) foliar spray with Optic, only a few leaves (since in flower) to see what would happen. Nothing happened.
2) water each 5 gal plant with 2 gals pure water phed to 6.5
3) the White Skunk today is now showing this on all leaves and is being flushed with water til it runs clear. That will take all day! The Shiva Shanti has ALL her fan leaves yellow now. She'll get flushed too. These plants look night and day to each other.
I should add now it's not just colored leaves, they dry up and die a few days after showing problems. I have looked all over the place and can't find a nutrient problem to explain this. I know Siva Shanti looks like mag or N defs, but she is getting the same nutes as the other, with all the nutrients they need.
My first guess is PH, but I check each watering with my dual calibrated PH pen!There is always a possibility it was not working right since my tap water shows 6.8 PH. If this is the case, it is possible they were watered with very acidic water once. However, the other plants show no problems and were given the same. I'll check the run off water from the flush and add that here if it looks off.
second guess is temp. It's in the 40's at night and the window in the tent room is open 6 inches to exhaust the air from the tent fan duct. I've had that window open all winter and the door to the tent room open all day. The fan is strong since the filter isn't hooked up and there's no smell yet. There's also an 8" fan blowing air through the plants. The lowest temp I've seen in there is 62.
I need to add this, there's not a photo editor on this computer, so many of these photo colors are off because the camera has to be white balanced to counter the yellow 600W HPS. I altered them the best I could on the ipad then emailed them to myself so I could access them from any computer. :-(((((((((
Here's the pics, newest to oldest:
White Skunk sitting on the toilet waiting to be flushed. Seriously, it's a great place to flush plants without clogging drains!
Next 2 pics also in normal light with accurate colors, White Skunk:
White Skunk Showing purple starting from the lower fan leaves and spreading upward to the bud's leaves. Accirate colors, despite the flash:
More white skunk, in the tent with HPS off:
White Skunk leaves from 1st day of problem, accurate color:
White Skunk, day if discovery. HPS is on and white balance is not making the color right. Notice how many leaves are efected here, VS the newer pics above!
Shiva Shanti II (Sensi Seeds) today waiting her turn to flush. The clors are accurate and she is looking better today with a tad more green to the leaves. Can I spray blooming plants with Optic (says not to spray in flower) or SpraynGrow Foliar spray? Here's today's pics. She is HUGE!!!!! Tent Hog. :
Shiva Shanti with HPS on, camera white balance, and attempt to alter color closer with MS paint. I failed, it looks off. :
Lights off in the flowering tent, taken 2 days ago. These colors are much closer, but SS is more yellow.m Shiva Shanti is on the Left and White Skunk, the right: (notice the other plants look Healthy!)
Don't forget, these 2 plants are treated exactly the same!!!
If anyone reading this knows how to make an Ipad upload web pics, LMK. I can't borrow computers each time I need help. :-((((
TY all for the help...
