Curling and discolored leaves. any help?




Raising the light fixed my curling problem but the leaves are still growing discolored, any idea why?
Only fed 2 times first with 1/8 dose of big bloom and second feeding with 1/2 dose of fox farms big bloom and a 1/4 dose of grow big, planted in happy frog

if you mean the tops being lighter/lime green thatā€™s just what new vegetation coming out does :wink: The bigger fan leaves look SLIGHTLY Nitro toxic (dark and waxy) but you should wait for others to chime in before making any moves. I think they look MUCH better. Maybe a few more days where things are, so you have reference points from before you moved light (tacoing), after moved (looking better but coloring concerns you), and then in 2-4days check again and see where youā€™re at

Iā€™m talking about the ā€œsplotchyā€ fan leaves, is it light burn? Thatā€™s what other picture look like with light burn

Itā€™s either bug damage or variegation.

kind of looks like the leaf miner tracks, but didnā€™t want to say it without someone more experienced noticing that too :slight_smile:

Again, excuse my ignorance but when I google pics of the leaf miner tracks, it doesnt quite look the same. these are random spots on the leaves that the plant has had since itā€™s first leaves, it kinda looked like the variegation when I looked it up but Iā€™m just not sure

could very well be. I just saw the ā€œtracksā€ if you will (tiny lighter colored lines) and the only leaf miner damage pics iā€™ve seen are blown up huge to ā€œhighlightā€ the damage. Not saying it is that, just saying it reminds me of what i saw when researching those. Iā€™ll remove myself from the situation and let the ones i suggested give answer. Best wishes

Point

Probably moved to quickly. U wanna lower light first. Get them used to it over time. Then adjust intensity. I wouldnt have worked up to 100% until just before transitionā€¦ 3-5 weeks of veg usually.

Or I run at 100% just higher. My plants usually start 100 cuz im too lazy forgetful and may not tuen it up. The distance is 36+ inches away tho.

Diff plants do diff things. Even the same strain. Each seed is a diff expression of parental genetics. Even stable genes can express diff phenos among plants. Some will be nute/light sensitive some will be hogs. Like family members.

Sorry @beardless Just cosigning lol.

My vote! I couldnt think of this word for jack squat a couple days ago.

Haha dude u got us here. Come on back to the party. Could very well be pests (hope not) and miners leave similar damage but much moreā€¦ pronounced? Like little dug lines zigging and zagging. We are all learning right?

But yea. I vote leaf variegation

So another question for everyone,Iā€™m on week 3 of my grow and yesterday I decided to do the first real feeding for the plants, I mixed up 30 ml (6 teaspoons)of grow big and 60 ml (12 teaspoons) of big bloom into 2 gallons of water, mixed it up l, PHed the water to 6.0, and poured all the water evenly into the 3 different 5 gallon pots, well earlier today someone told me that Iā€™m not supposed to put all the Mix in the pots at one time and dilute it more and water evenly throughout the week, will my plants be ok?

I honestly donā€™t know about that line of nutes, or the quantities you used. Hoping some who can help will chime in and give you the answers you need on this one.

What does the manufacturer say? Follow their instructions. You can feed less. I wouldnā€™t feed more.

Fox farms nute bottle says to feed double what the website says to feed, I went with the lower dose from the website, Iā€™m just wondering if giving the plants all the bytes at 1 time is going to be a problem vs watering a little every day @oldmarine

OK. I know some push the nutes for bigger whatever. One way or another you need to feed your plants. I feed my soil and it in turn feeds my plant. If you are reliant on your nutes coming from a bottle, it will be best to feed as directed. I imagine mixing and watering to saturation, but I donā€™t know.

Again, what does the manufacturer say and stick close to that.

Im pretty sure FF says to mix them all at once. Lets check the chart

Thought so. Thereā€™s a chart right under here. From the ppms they def mix all at once into water

You dont wanna mix them all in a jar before adding to water.

Get water.
Add then stir
Add then stir
Add then stir

Check ph and ppms
Adjust

Pour slowly and saturate soil thoroughly
