All right so I just stopped and picked up a bottle of grow big, a big bag of happy frog and a big bag of ocean Forest. So I came to look at the plants and I noticed yellow tips on newer growth. I thought that meant I was maxed out on my nutrients that it didn’t need any, does the yellow tips mean that I still have nutrients in my soil? Here’s some pics
Not in this case. Nutrients yellowed tips looks like burnt tips. It turns the tip crisp and brittle. More than the tip and the leaves will just die.
Whole yellowed leaves like that is caused by something else. Often it’s overwatering… But others are a lot better than me at diagnosing leaves… ![]()
@Fieldofdreams what are you talking about dude, you know I’m in here looking at it again and I see, some of the lower ones the tips have turned brown, am I overwatering maybe, I mean I go 4 days without watering and I’m in fabric pots and I have fans pointed at the parts above the pots below the pots, yeah I don’t know man I’m about to unplug my lights and take some better pictures for y’all so maybe someone can tell me what’s going on
Okay now that I see your painted nails I’m kind of tripping so I went in there and unplugged the lights and took some better pictures
I have both plants included in these pictures, you can see the difference between the plants. They have both been vegging since the beginning of October one is a seed and one is from clone, the clone is the one that looks good. The clone was also transplanted later than the seed. Now this is the confusion thing, the clones run off is 400 PPM and the bag seed runoff is 900 PPM, and the clone was transplanted probably about 3 weeks to a month after the seed
@OGIncognito @Borderryan22 got some grow big
Sup @Jayjay504 bud. I’ll say this, you’re totally consistent with bad pictures
I’m going to start a GoFundMe page and get you a digital or a nice phone.
Anyway, I see I was summoned in a tag. I didn’t see a question directed to me. I see some very unclear pictures of yellowing and a handful of yellow dead leaves.
Assuming you’re wondering why this is happening.?
Do me a favor. Let’s talk about this plant and this plant only.
1.) how long has this yellowing been going on?
2.) from your last two feeds please provide me both the intake PH & PPM and the run off pH and PPM
Example:
Feed#1
Intake numbers
Ppm xxx
Ph xxx
Runoff numbers
PPM xxx
pH xxx
Feed#2
Intake numbers
Ppm xxx
Ph xxx
Runoff numbers
PPM xxx
pH xxx
3.) from your last two feeds tell me exactly what you fed this plant.
Example
Feed #1
1 gallon of tap water
3 ml of calmag
5 ml grow big
2 ml big balloon
Etc .
Feed #2 (last feed)
1 gallon of tap water
3 ml of calmag
5 ml grow big
2 ml big balloon
Etc
Please try to provide me with a better more clear image of this full plant (a couple of them if possible). In 45 minutes I’m leaving for a doctor’s appointment in the city that could take a couple hours. I’ll address your response when I get back. ![]()
@Lostgirl hey my answer to this is very simple, I have not fed at all. Just been giving either store-bought distilled water or my tap water PH down to 6.5
I feel your pain my freind ![]()
Unfortunately I don’t do soil very well, I switched to coco-coir and perlite as a result.
Sometimes my soil grows would go smoothly, but once something got out of wack, the only way i could ever get it to right was either a transplant into new fresh soil when that was an option, or often that not easily possible so I would just flush the nutrients out of the soil till runoff was below 300ppm.
Then mix up a balanced batch of nutrients around 800-1000ppm and water till runoff is coming out over 800ppm.
From that point I’m measuring ppm and ph of runoff ever watering for the rest of the grow.
Given plain water only till runoff is comeing out below 600ppm and once i get runoff below 600ppm, i would feed about 800ppm the next time and just repeat that till the end…
It was such a headache and there’s probably better ways, but that worked for me to get to harvest.
Though since switching to coco-coir and perlite, it’s easy. I know exactly whats in the media as it gets feed daily and essentially resets with every feeding so theres never any guessing what nutrients is in whatever ppm reading i get if that makes sense ![]()
@1HappyPappy right I understand
@kaptain3d @OGIncognito @Borderryan22 @Fieldofdreams so now that I have the grow big, how much should I feed for the first time and should I give some tiger bloom as well?
I use jacks 321 plus some other ingredients. What do the instructions recommend?
@Fieldofdreams I’m not sure I have to check it out when I get home but what I’m saying is like for the first feeding with it you think I should go with half of the instructions or do you think my plant is big enough to go with the full dose
Can I see her today? Updated pic
I prefer to go light with any manufacturer’s recommendations because they’re in the business of selling products. My gut says start lighter then they recommend and see how your plants tolerance responds and then incrementally increase/decrease from there. Better less than more in this case cuz toxicity can kill her.
@Fieldofdreams yeah that’s what I was going to do
