Why are my leaves like that? AK47 Auto Flower

Over watered the plant witch rooted the root hairs causing micro nutrient deficiencies

Watering a plant in a hot room is only gonna boil the roots. Making even more problems.

How hot of a room are you talking about?

Look, if your plants are hot & not already being overwatered, a nice cool drink will help. It’s not going to solve your heat problems, but it will definitely not boil your roots…unless you plan on watering with boiling water?

If the room is hot then the plants are hot. You may cool it down of a minute but not solving a problem your making it worse.
What happens when your too hot and someone purse cold or even cool water on you. You go into convulsions and you die

Of course you’re not watering it with ice water, either. Smh

I really don’t come here to argue with people.

Nobody said ice water and your the one argueing trying to be right and get the last word , I was only using that as an example. Smh learn to grow before giving advice it would help.

I agree with said above CFLs just aren’t what your looking for with heavy nutrients in flower not enough energy transfer unless you have ungodly amounts of t5s with squiggle 23s hanging everywhere to get below canoy… Vthey have next to no penetration and past 6 inches away there light intensity reducess exponentially ontop of the warmth and if your soils packing up also your roots are gonna tell your plant to to slow down it can’t handle all that above ground because roots growth can’t keep up and it’s sending energy to try and get through clots of mud. Instead of uptop where the flowers need it so they will definitely suffer and since your this far along if your in bad dirt I would find some good dirt and get some new stuff started on it asap because those will disappoint you if you have soil problems … What soil are u using

@blackthumbbetty is a seasoned grower and provides a lot of useful information to this form. She also had a lot of grows under her belt. Based on those points we can deduct that she has learned to grow and quite well at that. :wink:

Not overwatering. I actually under-water if anything. I changed my soil mix and I’m guessing I added too much of some amendment when I was mixing an already hot soil.

What’s your base and what amendments used?

Temps are good. I would get the the humidity down a little bit more. And look into changing your lighting. 50 watts per square foot is a good rule of thumb. Especially in flower. Just by looking at the picture I can tell you a very weak lighting.

Get rid of the cfl’s and look into cob lights or Quantum boards if you’re going to be serious about it.

Any ideas on what is causing this discoloration on the leaves?

Twice a week give her calmag one teaspoon per gallon.

Get a meter to measure your ppm’s on your run off. That tells you a lot.

What discoloration on a above there isn’t discolrbits clawing and canoeing leaves and straggly air buds that won’t get dense because lack of light I still think you have a combination of issues @Wishingilivedina420state … do you mind me asking is this your first grow strat to finish … if it is best advice I can give is some things you can go for cheaper alternatives like nutes, you can make yr own if your really handy, dirt same thing! Pots, mcgyver it up… Reflection slap some paint on or tin foil,… tent … Sheets card board visqueen do it to it… But lights… Your gonna feel that nickel squeezing in your lungs and you are gonna feel crunchy when u realize it was the cheap lights you saved 50 to a 100 $ on that bursted your bubble

The whole mix
1/2 bag Ocean Forest
1/2 bag good natural bedding soil with no nutrients but balanced for pH
2 gallons Coco
1lb azomite dust
1lb dry humic acid/ bacillus mix from Grow store
2 gallons perlite
2 cups vermiculite
1 gallon worm castings
This is the first time I’ve added the dry humic acid/ bacillus.

@OldSkunk seems like your pH could be on he lower side from that mix Coco inert perlite inert vermiculite inert i no Ffof is hotter then alot and humic is probably making worse and if other mix is sphagnum ur makihg even worse not sure of other amendments pH wise but seems like your acidic possibly

@Wishingilivedina420state I had it a 4 inches distance.

but now I have run out of space me plant has grow to tall.

what should a do? should i cut it the tip?

Aww buddy ugot light stress I see bottom of plant looks fine you need to tie that top down or reposition those lights more evenly around the plant
