Yellow leaves

[Doctor Trevor]

I flushed yesterday, using ten gallons of water; Lupe is in a three gallon cloth pot. I started with Sledgehammer for the flush and finished by feeding her with some FF Big Bloom and FF Buds & Bloom.
Hopefully, I can save this plant.

You are on track to saving the plant and your harvest.

By the way, could you take a photo of what you are calling FF Buds and Bloom?

 

[Doctor Trevor]

My bad. It's actually FF Tiger Bloom.

 

[Doctor Trevor]

It's been three days since I did the flush on Lupe. And five days since I screwed up her pH by adding acid when I shouldn't have.

This is what she looks like now:

The fan leaves are all but fallen off, but the colas still look good. I'm going to continue trying with her.

 

[Doctor Trevor]

Can anyone offer any advice? I decided to double her feedings as she isn't getting anything from the leaves now. It looks like there are some small leaves appearing.

Yep...you got spider mites...here this will get rid of them...

From what I have read this is a great product for soil borne insects but it is not for mites. Mites are not even mentioned in the list of insects that the nematodes will eliminate.

Does anyone know what's causing this?

Tell tale spider mite damage!

 

[BeanTownFan420]

Spider mites can be washed off with a pressure sprayer wash top and bottom of leaves and stem with pressure.Blast the eggs and mites right of your plant.

 

[BeanTownFan420]

If you pressure spray regularly you can control them if not eliminate i have but you must be constant with a good wash all over.

I have run into that myself a time or two. My thoughts were that the roots on my clones were damaged to the point that they were dying off.

If it what you have is anything like what I experienced then it is time to call it a day, trim off all the remaining fan leaves, trim up the extra sugar leaves and start the drying process.

While it is drying start working on prepping for the next go around. What you have is impressive enough for a first grow and a second one should be even better.

Yep, it is that constant schedule. Without dedication to the schedule the problem will continue to show up.

If the grower cannot pressure spray for any reason then a schedule of spraying with the proper insecticide, organic ones are available. But, that spray schedule has to be kept. No skipping a scheduled day.

Kill crites i mean mites.

.... you can use it up to week 7 flower in my experience. Maybe go longer, but I didn’t. If you wash yer buds at harvest, you can go all the way through. It also acts as a plant conditioner, so they will look better than ever. Hands down a must. Okay, thanks man. I’ll definitely try it out and...

They may not be listed, but it works...spider mites usually come in the medium your using, hence they have to crawl through your soil to get to your plant...mites lay a larvae style egg sac and that is the type of insect they target...different strokes for different folks...take it or leave it...peace out

Even though the pistils are still light in color? Would waiting a few more days have any ill effect? I'm trying to get a friend to come to my house and look at it up close.

I had something similar happen to a couple of my plants. The same curling leaves which were turning the same color. But it did not happen to my plants as fast as it is happening to yours. After the fan leaves shriveled up I noticed that the buds were drying out. Not all of them, it would start with the lower ones on a branch and then move up to the top of the stem, one bud after another.

The first time was on two plants, both clones, and I had planned the harvest at 8 weeks. There were very few buds left my then that looked good. Most of them were dry, crunched when squeezed, had no aroma and were not sticky. It even looked like the trichomes had fallen off. If I remember right, what happened was I ended up with a little less than half of what I should have.

Then two other clones started to show the same signs. Rather than wait till the scheduled harvest I cut them down shortly after I saw the problem. The harvest was close to what I expected and just a few buds were dry, crunchy, brown with no aroma. This is why I am thinking that you should be ready to harvest the plant soon. Keep an eye on the plant.

Since then, the soil has been used again to grow clones from the same mother plant, from other mother plants, clones of the same strain and clones from other strains. All plants had been watered and fertilized on the same schedule.The problem has not come back. Plants that were touching these plants did not develop the problem.

You have gotten a good plant. Now is a good time to prepare for the next attempt. Keep track of what you do for soil, for watering, for fertilizing and lights. What many members here recommend is starting a journal which helps document what and when something is being done. Keep basic notes and don't loose them.

I am still interested in whatever you decide to do with the current plant. Maybe a photograph every now and then and mention what you see because we often see something that does not show up in a photo.

I harvested Lupe yesterday. I probably should've done it a day or two earlier. Many of the sugar leaves were dry. Some crumbled when I grabbed them. A friend who looked the plant over said I'll probably get an ounce of bud from her.

And in related news: I started the germination process for Vanessa and Siobhan this morning.

Thank you, everyone for your help!
