Phosphorous Deficiency?

I just recently FIM'ed and transplanted these 2 plants, one of which was having some sort of problem. I came to the conclusion of it being a phosphorous deficiency, but since I'm still a newb with growing and all, I was hoping someone could help me identify the problem. These 2 plants are bagseed from some reggie i bought specifically for the seeds (i don't know anyone that grows that could lend me some seeds or a couple of clones so this was my only option). But i plan to clone any female i get with "dip n grow" which i heard was good (But idk)

They're about 5 weeks old and i don't want the one that looks like the female to die (I say it looks like a female because it's a bit smaller in size than the other, also its the one on the lefteed2 082.JPG eed2 083.JPG eed2 084.JPG eed2 085.JPG eed2 086.JPG eed2 087.JPG eed2 088.JPG eed2 089.JPG eed2 091.JPG eed2 082.JPG eed2 083.JPG ) so any reply will be appreciated to help identify the problem. Thanks in advance.


P.S. The plant that is having the least problems got FIM'ed and is now growing 6 tops :eek: so hopefully im wrong about it being a male

I advise you get rid of the reflectors in the pot, they are not doing anything, the bottoms of leaves do not use light. and your bad leaves look to me like they were touching the soil when you watered, new growth is good, I would not worry

I put the reflectors in the pots so they can reflect some light into the inner nodes to get the new growth started a bit (since the nodes are really packed together, barely any light can get through and my technique seems to be working) I will get rid of them once the new growth in the middle of the plant gets rolling, and i have not given them any nutes and probably wont because i don't know what type of nutes to give them and i plan to make this an all natural organic grow. (but if you guys have any suggestions on some fairly cheap and effective nutes i could get that'd be great) a few places that would probably sell nutes that i live nearby are Wal-mart, Mernards, Dollar general (lol), and Lowes, which is about it.

Unless you have a super soil I suggest you feed her some thing. I like the floranova line there's a veg and then a bloom. Online is gonna be your best bet. I agree take the refective stuff out. Some Chinese refective materials release a chemical harmful to plants when they get hot or humid. I just don't like to risk it if I'm not sure.

The reflective stuff is definitely out, now that i found it that there a chance if it hurting my plant.
I'm using jolly gardener potting soil as my growing medium, it consists of
"Composted Organic material, Aged Pine Bark,
Cow Manure Compost, Sedge Peat, Sand and/or Perlite"

since i just transplanted, i have a good month or so until it uses up all of the nutrients inside of the soil, and by that time, i plan to switch it into flowering. So i will definitely need some flowering nutrients. Im gonna look into this Floranova stuff, its a good deal/ in my budget if i just get the "floranova bloom" pint bottle for flowering. thanks for the suggestion. I also heard somewhere that if i just buy some worms and put them in my soil during veg, they could help out? someone told me that they will eat all the bad stuff in the soil and shit out healthy stuff for my plants. ( i know that worms take an important position in nature and the recycling of soil and all, but i just want to make sure its ok to put them in my containers before i consider it an option)

plant looks really small for 5 weeks. Too small to have a deficancy, due to lack of nutes. Looks like your soil is too hot or necrosis from PH being too low.

Worms huh that's interesting, they do play a vital roll in nature. Not to sure how stoked I'd be to have them in my home though. Ya just go for the bloom, veg make ups very similar if any thing just buy a little fish emulsion(smells delicious first whiff is the freshest so catch it quick) very cheap pick it up at walmart. If you end up getting a couple extra bucks down the line GH Diamond Nectar (humic acid).

they're so small because i started them in 5 oz cups for 3 weeks... (to keep em small 8-))
they're actually 4 weeks old today (6/9/14)
i said about 5 weeks earlier, but that was just me estimating.

just buy a small bag of pure worm castings if you can find them. You can get awful genetics in reggie seed though. This is due mainly to the fact that it is weak stunted males that avoid culling by the mexican farmers and hence half of the make up can be from these runt males. You can see necrosis of the leaves naturally, extreme hermaphroditic conditions, etc. I really suggest cheap seed via amsterdam, you may find reggie genetics to be hard to finish indoors also.

Not only do they eat the bacteria and recycle it they also aerate the soil, ive used worms in my soil before and it worked out great.

My first grow was of off some really awful regs, They were PACKED with seeds. I germinated 4 of them and got 1 female, harvested after 1 month of veg and 8 weeks of flowering. I had no problems/deficiencies with it at all. The bud looked and smelled amazing, it also smoked really well. It was some quality shit, i got about 7 grams only using cfl's, But probably all regs aren't like that. but i will definitely get worm castings now. And the reason i don't order seeds online is because i dont want anyone knwoing that i grow, and me not trusting the government/NSA and all.. lol

i don't care if people know. i just don't want to give the police any evidence. they can't arrest me for pictures that i could of potentially gotten of off google, but they can arrest a nigga for ordering illegal marijuana seeds online.

No but they could trace the posts and threads to your email and use the info to get a warrant to come search your home and property. Somebody in a Gov position does troll the sites that's how they figure out seed banks customs and the idiots who grow on federal land. Cops have much better things to do them wait to see if you take some seeds. At most customs is gonna snag the seeds an send you the rest with a letter saying they found some illegal in your bag. Seeds aren't illegal you purchase them under the assumption that they are souviners for if the laws happen to change, you pretty much just promise not to pop them, thy get snagged at customs do to agriculture laws. I'd suggest some autos their awesome

i use my neighbors open WiFi when i post shit on here, but their internet is really slow, so i only switch to their WiFi when i'm making posts on RIU or any thread. They'll trace the ip address of the computer/laptop/device, not the email.. what are they gonna proof with someones email?

It's not illegal to posses seeds? i didn't know that. what are some good/trustworthy sites to get seeds from?..
