Odd leaf issue. Any thoughts

Show Your Grow Grow Journals
1

I have 4 plants in my 5th grow going. 2 ICE and 2 OG Kush. I noticed some odd leaf issues, but it doesn’t seem to be much of a problem right now. New growth and upper growth seem ok.
I am using Pro-Mix HP, HLG LED lights. At 41 days since germination (end of 4 weeks veg).
Overall everything is going ok, just not sure what I am seeing here. I am giving GH nutes with 1/4 tsp Epsom salts per gallon. 8 cups per plant every 4 days or so.

The yellow leaves look nute starved to me, but this has been corrected and I am on the schedule I always use. The OG Kush and ICE strains are new to me so not sure if they are more finicky than others.
The only other thing I am dealing with is stupid stink bugs. I had a ton of them get into my grow room, but have most of them removed now. (Bad window screen let them in). I think they may be the culprit, but wanted to see what you guys thought.
Any ideas @raustin, @blackthumbbetty @Screwauger @MattyBear

Bugs could be the culprit and the lower leaves will die off as the plant matures. Do you have a whole plant pic?

Look like leaves that layed atop the medium and the yellowed ones look like end of life but that should likely not be. Need whole plant pic as @MattyBear noted.

These mostly look like early veg stage leaves dying off normally but an overall picture in natural light is a good idea.

Like I said these stains are new to me. I have done White Widow, Super Lemon Haze, blue dream and Blue Wizard in the last grows. Didn’t see leaf die off until flower.

I look forward to that screen filled out bumper to bumper. Nice!

I would agree with others. Those leaves touching medium I wouldn’t sweat, that happens for whatever reason.

Rest of plant doesn’t look horrible, there’s a stray leaf that looks a little odd. And a few signs of nitrogen claw.

Thanks all. Feel much better. I will double check my schedules and nutes to be sure I don’t get out of whack. Have had good luck with this set up @Sixpackdad. :slight_smile: Getting 5.5 oz average per plant and getting better each grow.

Those bottom leaves tend to die off. Your plants look good. Not perfect, but good

Any leaf that is touching the soil should be removed, they will rot. Other than that, your plants look good.

Are those autos?
What size of pots do you have them in?
What size is your tent?
Out of curiosity

Hey @Nicky. These are photos not autos. I use 5 gallon fabric pots with Pro-Mix HP and General Hydroponics nutrients. Tent is a 4’x4’ 7’.

Cool.
Why did you go with the HP over the regular? Because your using nutes and want to ensure good drainage?

I meant to also ask what are the white bricks in the soil?

Ive been stalking you on a couple threads I like your setup, wish I had a 4x4 and the lighting to go with it but I’m. A 2x4…so I’ll watch and ask questions as I follow along if you don’t mind

Sorry was out for a while. HP is hard to over water. It is expensive somewhat, but I have had great results with it following a simple nutrient schedule.
A 2x4 works great if you don’t over fill it.
I started with one before deciding I wanted to grow 4 plants at once. I used these lights:

They work fine but not nearly as good as the HLG QB LED kits I picked up later.

For the 2x4 I think it is best for two plants with about 4-6 weeks veg. Indicas better yet for size. You might want to SCROG as you saw in my pictures. Glad to answer any questions I can help you with @Nicky . (Nute schedules, my set up etc.)
