It looks like water splashed on them and the light burned it some. If it was my plant i wouldn’t be worried. But. Let someone more experienced chime in fist. Dont take my word for gold.
Hey Brother
Instead of starting a new topic I thought I would ask you. I have searched the site but can’t seem to find what I need. My plant was doing fine but now PH is running low. I had a harvest about 7 weeks ago of my auto-flowers all 5 did fine. I have one regular female that I will probably pull in October but I pretty much know I am going to flush it out, have some compost and worm dirt but I am out of line. Is there another way to raise pH. I think since I had some yellow leaves and had a branch die, maybe root lockout so going to flush out and start feeding slowly. I know I am not over watering because I will let the leaves droop a little before watering. Heat could be a problem that’s why I started growing autos. I am outside in the south, illegal state so I don’t say much and don’t take pictures unless I have to.
Thanks if you have time
I am new to growing cannabis also. I am on my first grow. I just experimented with Epsoma Soil Acidifier and its lowering my pH a few points. What i did was add alot of the stuff because it works slowly over time. I needed a quick drop so i added more than what the directions called for and watered it a few times until i washed it into the soil. When i got my readings i was after, i dug it all out and added fresh topsoil. This is alot more efficient than flushing with 20 gallons of pHed water. You might want to give it a shot. Its very mild stuff.
I just reread your statement sorry, your trying to raise your pH. Then you want Dolomite Lime. It will raise your pH to the level you want. Depending on how much you add. It will stabilize you pH to 7.0 or 6.5 Depending on how much you put in. You will flush it in the same way.
sorry, i meant phosphorus, kinda looks like phosphorus deficiency.
check out jack’s nutrients.
i use jack’s nutrients myself, never had a problem or deficiency myself. a lot of people use the 321 schedule, i think a lot of people that haven’t tried it are missing out, i have incredible results
hopefully someone else can chime in on maybe something to add as far as the leaves, but i do believe phosphorus myself
Hey Brother
Thanks for the information. We might have been thinking about the same, instead of flushing I know that a salt bath. Just 1 tbsp of Epsom salt in a gallon of water(might need 2 gallons depending on size of pot) pour it into soil and it suppose to wash some of the buildup of nutrients off the roots. Think it’s call a salt bath or something similar to that. Then let it dry and start back with feeding, watering schedule. I had put that in the back of my head but didn’t know if that would help but it has helped before but my plant wasn’t quite as sick. Thanks a lot for your time, I know everyone is busy. That may be something you might want to read about, I don’t hear much about but it is another hack you can put in your toolbox, hell if you’re most, you never stop looking for that edge or fix depending on the need.
Dean nice to meet you , checking in from an illegal state.
Looks like youre in flower which means your soil ph for optimum nute uptake for flower is 6.5 to 6.8. I would first do a slurry test to check to make sure your ph is in range along with proper ppm. If youre ph is ohh and your ppms are high means youre locked out. If your ph is correct and your ppm below 1000 then you need to feed.
I will keep this in mind. Seems like it would work pretty good. Anything eats flushing a plant with 20 gallons of water. This is my first grow and it started out very unorganized. The secret is, is to get the soil pHed properly before you even put the plant in it. Then maintain it the rest of the grow.
Yeah, its thick here. Lots of humidity and in the 80’s. I stay as cool as possible. I quit doing construction work for building custom Archery strings. I can work in an air-conditioned room with my plants.
Hey Dude you want believe what I do in SC. Frame houses. I started my business at 20 . Worked with my uncle in the summers when out of school then decided to screw college or any other job. I just loved being outside, no shirt just a dam headband, shorts and a good pair of tennis shoes I could stick to the roof with.
I still work every so often but I finally had to give up my crews. I had stage 4 cancer in 2010 had to do radiation and chemo to my face . That stuff is bad news but I kicked the shit out of it and was in a wheelchair. It’s nice to be able to build shit. Built my house about 5 years ago. Still outside now, was driving a fews nails in a fence
I get it, yep… i did the same. I hated school as a kid and dropped out and had to work with my hands and eventually started painting professionally and roofing then building maintenance and restoration. Got fed up with it and started making strings and cables for compound crossbows. They’re in high demand. I keep it rolling along. No pun intended…
Hey man
What’s going on with you. I am gearing up for the hurricane coming through middle of SC. Question, don’t know if I suppose to ask but you know a farmer letting go of any crop I will be short this year.
