Withering Plant - Pictures

This plant thrived throughout the vegetative stage and during the flowering stage in nothing more than miracle grow soil and tomato plant fertilizer.

However, within the last week, two weeks, the plant began to show brown spots. After looking at the pictures under "plant problems", I determined that the plant was exhibiting signs of nitrogen deficiency. I understand that this is not uncommon in the flowering stage as nitrogen is "stolen" from leaves and redirected to buds. I concluded that this was the cause and chose not to take any corrective action.

But now, the plant is considerably worse; many of the original leaves have drooped and fallen off the plant. I am beginning to wonder if the pH is the issue. How does a grower check pH in soil?

Some other important information to consider:

-Temp = 76.8

- Humidity = 50-60%

- Fertilizer = 1 time per month.

- Water = 1 time ever other week, depending on the soil condition.

- Lighting = (2) 60W @ 10 hours per day for flowering (18 hours for vegetative).

Any guidance is appreciated; the sooner the better as I believe this plant may be close to the point of no return.

Thank you

Hey buddy stop using miracle grow immediately & get yourself proper MJ nutes like the flora series for example. Miracle grow provides the same nutes throughout the entire grow but cannabis needs a different ratio between veg & flower...& you should feed the plant more regularly until the last couple of weeks when its time to flush. Increase lights to 12hrs in flower. Also ph is important so check your water after adding nutes with a ph meter.

Im affraid theres your problem right there , not enough fert , not enough light , watering schedule seems odd to say the least .
with only getting 10 hours per day light the plant believes that it is comming to the end of its cycle ...... I find it hard to believe that with all the resources available to a person on this site people still end up with shit grows like this .... i know it sounds harsh , and i will probably get called a wanker for not helping etc but growing aint rocket science ...... sorry if i have offended ya but do some research before ya waste ya time and end up with a pile of shit like that ....
Well... my grow is based on plenty of research. So, if there is something I am doing wrong, it is based on information I 've read on line.

When in the vegetative stage, the plant was provided with 18 hours of light daily. You place your plants into the flowering stage by reducing its daily exposure to light; the plant flowers based on how much time it spends in the dark.

There is a very high humidity where I have the plant. Sometimes, the humidity gets up as high as 65%. The temperature range is between 76 and 80 degrees.

You replied to my message, but have not offered any suggestions as to what changes I should make to fix the problem. You talk a big game, but do you know anything about growing yourself? My experience has been that those of you who enjoy flaming posts are insecure because you don't know jack shit about the subject... just pretend to understand.

- I've since moved the plant to a location where there is less humidity and the temps range between 78-80 degrees.

- I water based on the soil condition; based on my RESEARCH, I was instructed to water only when the the top 1 1/2 - 2 inches of soil is dry. So, if I hit moist dirt an inch down, I don't water. I find that I need to water on an average of every two weeks, although now that i am in a place where there is less humidity, I will probably water more.

- 30 years ago, marijuana was commonly called "weed". This is because it was, in fact, a weed and very easy to grow. With the prohibition of marijuana slowly crumbling in the United States, there is a lot of time and resources going into growing better strains through genetics. The THC level in weed 30 years ago was about 8%. Today, some weed has THC levels as high as 30%. So, growing weed, in fact, is a SCIENCE.

- I use tomato plant fertilizer because it was recommended on other sites. Apparently, many of the nutrients in tomato plant fertilizer are the same that marijuana plants look for.

This is my first attempt, so I am learning. Perhaps if you weren't such a simpleton and read my post instead of just looking at the pictures, you wouldn't have been such a dick in your response.

Yeah not to sound mean my man, but you need to read up a lot more on cannabis cultivation. Your grow is off in every way. Ditch the current plant you have and strike it up as a learning experience. Start again from seed and don't mess with clones, you're not there yet.

Get your yourself some fox farm ocean forest and a basic two part nute and some calmag if you're running r/o water. And read...read
