So this is my 2nd indoor grow (+ 2 previous outside). I’ve been using the same coco and nutes for every grow. This is the first time I’ve had any problems.
The temps are colder than I’d like, but it’s freezing down here in Oz.
I’ve had a few bugs (pictured) that I’ve treated with spinosad, but other than that It’s been smooth sailing until about a week ago.
All of a sudden one of the girls started having leaf issues (pictured) with discolouration & clawing. The 2nd one is now starting to show some early signs of the same issue.
I’m not supplementing cal-mag but have never needed it before.
They’re still growing well, no pests to be seen, but not looking real pretty… Any ideas?
Sorry for the novel, but I appreciate any help you can give me
It looks to me like your having a calcium and phosphorus deficiency . Not enough calcium will lock out you phosphorus. Your numbers look to be good . When all else fails . Flush and start over. That’s the beauty of coco. Treat your flush water with cal/mag so your not flushing what the coco has already grabbed onto .
Thanks for the input everyone. I thought that might be it but I’ve not needed it before. Maybe they’re just hungrier for it than my previous girls.
I’ll get some cal mag today and report back soon.
I think it to be cal/mag issue.
You said you haven’t needed it through veg, but the plants really start sucking it up once they start flowering. Which is why you are now seeing the deficiencies. My thoughts, good luck
Thanks again @Watt-Sun@Deepsix@Covertgrower@Myfriendis410
Looks like a bit of calmag did the trick!
Flipped them 3 days ago and I’m now worried about lack of real estate…I’m not surprised, I was only going to keep one in there but then I got greedy.
I’ll have to work something out soon though
Here’s the last day of 18/6 and 3 days later. They’ve grown 3" in height too 20200902_204905|375x500
So here we are 6 weeks later, and I’m worried the girl I kept is maybe not ‘only’ a girl anymore… I’m not sure if it’s starting to foxtail or throwing nanners.
There’s been some heated debate between a couple of mates over a few beers this arvo, let me tell ya!
Slight possibility of a very minor light leak from my dehumidifier, but I’m not convinced. (I taped up the power button & anywhere else the light glowed through)
Man that’s a weird one . It almost looks like the center of the bud is starting to fox tail but on the other hand the new leaves it’s throwing makes me think it’s trying to reveg. Has your light cycle been A consistent 12/12 with no interruptions ?
