Hi All, I am a long time lurker new grower. Both my plants are in their 4th week from sprout and just finished their 1st week of flowering. However I am noticing some changes in the plants that have me slightly concerned and wasn’t able to fully grasp the issues here. I filled out the support ticket below and would appreciate any expert help here :).
Strain - AK-47 Auto & WW Auto
Soil - Fox Farm Ocean Forest
PH of runoff - 6.3
What is strength of nutrient mix? Have not used any yet. I have Big Bloom to use on my next watering.
Indoor Tent System (3" x 1.6" x 5.1")
Light system - HPS 400W / Top of plants get about 70k lumins at 12" away
Temps - 75-77 Day (20Hr’s) / 68-70 Night (4Hr’s)
Humidity - 25-35 Day, 25-35 Night
Ventilation - Yes 4inch duct fresh air in / 6inch duct out top 442 cfm
AC, Humidifier, De-humidifier - N/A
Co2 - No
First picture is the WW Auto and it has the claw with some curling. I am assuming this is nitrogen toxicity, but do not know how to combat that since I am not using any nutrients and used a recommended soil. The growth also seems more stumped in comparison to my AK-47. This all shows on the top of the plant and everything mid to bottom seems fine.
Second picture is my AK-47 Auto and shows some signs of deficiencies or possible nutrition burn? To save time and space I just took pictures of the problem leafs and these are only on the bottom of the plant.
Lastly I did check the PH in the pot’s and they are both at 6.5-6.8 at various points throughout the soil and of course my run off looked good, so I am confused as to where to proceed since they show different signs for what is wrong with them.
Thanks for the link. Been all over there and it’s been super helpful so far.
@Majiktoker I flushed last night and It went well. The run off was at 6.5, so I was happy to see that and will let you know in a few days how the recovery goes. Thank you again for the advice.
@Majiktoker Hope all is well with you and wanted to throw you some updates. Since we last spoke I am on my 3rd week of flowering tomorrow and the white widow has bounced back. Had some new growth and seems to have perked up. Nothing has changed except my Runoff is 6.5 every time I water now.
I do however have a new problem. My AK-47 has been flourishing and was doing so well until a few days ago I have noticed this on the lower leaves and the have a red tinted branch on the fan leaves. Should I be alarmed or is this normal in the stage of the plants life.
I’m seein some tip burn, but other than that I don’t see anything. They are looking good. Maybe toker sees somethin I don’t.
Looks like you got the previous issues under control, they are looking good
If its just the bottom leaves it shouldn’t be a concern however is the leaf with the yellow tip near the top or middle of the plant if so yellow tips are over fertilization but the bottom leaves show deficiency, it might be likely @krazedjunkie that you have a nutrient lock out problem.
Have you tested your runoff?
And very last picture she looks great and normal my friend
These are the leaves on the bottom, the first and second set of leaves that showed up from sprouting. Everything up from there is healthy except the following set of leaves is starting to yellow. However all the leaves where the buds are look 100% perky and healthy.
How much longer do you think it will be until harvest? 4 weeks or more?
Thank you again for the reply! Happy to hear it seems like this is just normal. The runoff is as far as I know healthy at 6.55 which I just tested this morning after watering it.
Awesome, wasn’t too sure about the time frame from this point. Thank you for that.
Lastly I promise I won’t bother you much more, but I have Fox Farm Big Bloom which I have not used yet as I have been scared to burn the plant because of the hot soil. However is there anything else you would recommend me getting or would what I have suffice?
Don’t worry for bottom yellow leaves during flowering. It is normal. Plant focuses energy in flower and old leaves slowly turn yellow.
Plant is healthy
So just an update. Both plants seem to be doing very well and have lots of sugar on them now.
However I have examined the plants further and I have noticed there are Seeds near my buds.
I was collected about 8 off the white widow and 6 off my ak47.
What does this mean for my plants other then they are hermies?
Does this mean my plants are ruined because they all have huge colas?
Am i going to have to harvest soon or can I still wait for the remaining 2-3 weeks I have?
Thanks and I will provide pictures if needed. The funny thing is where the seeds were found the plants had small calyxes and have pistols coming out of them. There was no sign on my girls of pollen sacs so I don’t get how this happened lol.
