Ive been growing this bagseed girl for about 3 months now and was about to flower it until i noticed that her leaves were starting to wilt and were outlined with yellowness. i didnt think much of it at first but now it is a present problem. in all my time growing this plant i have had no problems what so ever. the current problems that i can see are, wilting leaves? brown spots forming? yellowness/browness around edges? and severe leaf curling? my first cure for this was moving light up higher, but i just came back from a camping trip to find that it has gotten worse.

I water her about every 3-4 days (or atleast till the top of the soil is dry)
* i water until the top of the soil is covered by water then i let it drain. i then repeat. too much water?
I am currently using only SuperThrive for nutes.
* I use this on my outdoor and its working fantastic.
The closet temp is about 70*-75*
The plant is about 29in tall
The plant is on 24 hour lighting
* more photosynthesis right?
For lighting i use 2 4ft Flours that WERE as of today 5-6in away from leaves. they are now 9in away.

You can tell from some of the pictures, what i am talking about. some of the leaves are actually twisting and look rippled and pruned? some have dark spots on them. some near the tips, others all over? the tips are dying and curling up and down? im really stunned at how this happend...Mathison(if youve seen pineapple express) was a great plant, and im asking for any help that anyone can offer. im a beginer so im open to knowledge and critisism. thanks alot!

Check your PH that type of yellowing is an obvious sign of a micronutrient lockout, this is usually caused by PH problems.

6.8 ph for soil 5.8 is for hydro and its definatly a lock out if your ph is that low.

Yep thats the range around 6.8 for soil PH I really doubt your superthrive is causing the problem. See how your leaves are deformed and the yellowing is in between the veins? This is a non-mobile nutrient problem NPK are mobile nutrients, most micro nutes are not mobile. Micro nutrient problems are usually not caused from lack of availability but from lockout caused by either PH or salt build up which will cause PH imbalance usually anyway. Check your PH and adjust accordingly, monitor any new growth for leaf deformation the old growth will never recover much from this type of problem. :peace:

well as anyone would like too, i wanna fix this ASAP. so buy a PH tester, and some fox farms nutes and add alittle at a time? im gonna lay off the superthrive unless i shouldnt...its pathetic but it actually hurts looking at her right now...just buy looking at the plant you can tell its in pain haha it sucks. but other than nutes, and PH, i should be okay? what could it be IF its NOT the PH? i just ask so i can be ready in advance. id really like to perk her leaves back up again...looking at them now, they might as well just fall off....

Well honestly, I haven't read the whole thread - just saw your pics. And by the looks of things, it's either PH or a nute problem. To get everything back to normal I would try flushing like I said.

Most MJ problems are either:

Over watering
Under watering
Too much nutes
Wrong PH

okay im just gonna flush her for now and hope that it helps. i need to invest i a PH tester as well. after i flush her ill throw in some nutes because before i was only using superthrive. i just hope this works...she was doing so good...every leaf was perked up...and now shes dying more and more everyday...talk about aggrivation.

So you have no way to test the waters PH before you add any? If I were you, I would run down to Home Depot, Lowes, Wal-mart, etc. and find a cheap PH tester in the pool section, before you flush again. Also, you might want to add a mild nutrient solution when you flush - don't add the nutes later.

superthrive is great for plants every now and then but it is not feeding the plant you need some nutes..check the ph before you flush if your tap water is at 9.2PH like mine adding 1/4 or 1/2 strength nutes should bring water down to acceptable 6.5 or so try the local pet store for PH test kitsbongsmilie

Flush with a balanced PH of water and a mild nute solution.
