Ok 6wks in i have a possible pest problem?

I dont see anything no bugs or what is this guys? Can yall tell me what i need to do? I was on 1000 hps but i even turned my lights slowing down to 600 bc the temperature has been crazy here. Ive maintained 85 or lower temp in my tent 45 humidity and ive been watering about everyday sometimes every other day. I give flowering food phed every 3rd feeding



Possibly too much nitrogen… the leaves look dark green and waxy. Do you have a TDS meter to check runoff PPMs and and PH tester to check runoff PH? 85°F at 40%rh is a little hot and will dry the plant out if youre not careful.

I think you already answered your question @Baller-MoM.151 . Humidity too low and temps way too high. 85 deg is pushing it for decent growth. HPS puts out great light but also big heat. The temps have got to come down and the humidity up to around 55%. There’s a terminology for it called VPD.

I dont have a tds ppm montior ph is around 6.5 and i have a moisture meter that says moist.


What could cause the leaves to look broken and bitten off

Hate to say it growmie, but those meters are junk. If you can, amazon has a few budget friendly options for a TDS and PH meter. I hate to burn your biscuits but im telling you from experience.

Heat and humidity levels will dry the leaf out from the tip and will severely stunt growth. Your plant will not only burn itself up from the top, everytime you feed, the nutrients are piling up in the medium because the plant cant effectively uptake the nutrients. In veg your PH wants to be at the lower side of 6.0 to 6.5 . If youve been using that meter to measure ph with, then more than likely you have a PH issue also which will cause lockout.

Here is a picture of a G13 i grew that had the exact same issues you were having but i was able to correct it time and she came out beautiful.

Yes i have been using that meter for my soil medium but i do have a ph meter for liquid to. What do you suggest i do?

Also this is an autoflower also

I would definitely try to get your temps down to at least 75. It looks like you are already starting to flower. I would water your plant (slowly) to allow the soil to soak up as much moisture as possible then water afain until you get about 20% runoff. Collect that runoff and measure the ph of the water. You need to get a TDS meter. You can pick one up fpr about 25 bucks on amazon. Since you are in flower, you want your runoff ph to be between 6.5 and 7.0 for nutrient uptake during flower. I wouldnt add anymore nutes for the next two waterings. As soon as the ph is fixed the there should be plenty of nutients in the soil, but of not the plant will tell you. Until you get the TDS meter, its a crap shoot until the plant responds.

Upper box is flower room lower box is veg room.

Is it a bad thing that i dont have alot of runoff?

Do you know what the Soil PPMs are? What PPMs and PH have you been feeding at and don’t trust that soil meter. Depending on the vessel size the frequency of watering or feeding could be too soon. Soil likes a wet to dry cycle and the roots need oxygen :love_you_gesture: good info from the other community members just adding this in since we can’t see below the soil level and run off or a slurry test is needed to check this

No i dont understand ppms :disappointed: or tds at all. Ph Im on point…

That PH meter you posted in the pic is very unreliable Grow Bro, maintaining soil PH around 6.5 (range of 6.3-6.8) is critical for nutrient absorption. A TDS pen (Total dissolved solids) measures parts per million (PPM) of a liquid mixture. You’ll mix nutrients in your water source by the recommended feeding schedule. I feed at 300-500 PPms for seedlings and 800-1000 for veg and flowering and in soil the target PH is 6.5. You’ll PH down or up after all nutrients have been mixed. I start feeding or watering to run off around week 2-3 of veg and collect a sample and test both PH and PPms. The run off will let you know how much nutrients are in the soil and if the plants are consuming the nutrients. Low PPM or close to what you mixed the nutrients at means the plant is eating, PPMs higher in the run off usually indicate the plant is not absorbing the nutrients and could indicate an excessive salt build up or the PH is out of range preventing nutrient absorption, this is where checking the run off PH comes in play. When the PPms are considerably higher and the PH is low, water feed only at a higher PH to liberal run off to bring the PH back in range :love_you_gesture:

Thank you so much :heartbeat:
