IMG_0098.JPG IMG_0098.JPG IMG_0103.JPG IMG_0101.JPG Guy, I need help.

I am in week 2 1/2 of my flowering stage. About 3 weeks ago I finally began feeding my plants fox farms trio.

I've got my fan and heater going. Light is 600w. We are on a 12/12 schedule( although I must admit that I messed up with my timer and had an inconsistent schedule for one week. I water 1 a week.

No I haven't gotten a ph meter yet because all the amazon reviews I read say they are mostly unreliable and hey, there's no ph meter when it rains and buds still grow. I use Luke warm tap water. City water.

Anyway, I thought I had a mg deficit and intended to apply epsom salt but decided to ask you guys first about my problem. Of course I'm a newbie so if you need more info let me know

ThxIMG_0098.JPGIMG_0098.JPG

What strength are you feeding at, what type of soil is it in, and how much is in the planter, also what are temperatures and humidity in the garden?

Looks like nutrient burn, dont add any boosters or PK products yet and keep the normal nutrients EC level at moderate still it isn't a big ass plant 1.4-1.5 EC regular nutes at this point....might have to do plain water for few days if leaves keep on going like that...this is my estimation, I'we done it my self quite few times...and the results looked like that...clear nutrient burn edges of leaves..+ when you have solved that problem and getted back to regular feeding ,feel the bucket weight before watering too often ,you wil see the leaves turning at the top upwards ,thats a good sign , they are getting oxygen to the roots when the media dries a bit before next watering..not dry but a bit lighter pot is what I mean before you water again..

Thx. Tupapa...my heater rotates...I try to make certain that it's never directly on the plants...I also had a 70 pint dehumidifier in my tent for about 2 weeks and removed it about one week ago because leaves felt dry.

P. HATER....What's EC? I have been feeding it fox farm for 2 weeks. I didn't use nutrients prior. I have regular planting soil and espoma garden tone. Picture is attached

Sorry I am not familiar with soil grows... feeding water is measured with a Electric Conductive meter and PH meter, in coco and hydro grows to see the strenght of fertilizers in feeding water

It looks like nutrient issues brought on by - perhaps - an imbalance in your pH. I think a lot of growers overlook this a bit and try to fix things by doing more shit - like more water, more fert. more flush. etc. That plant needs to be cleaned up around the base of the stem. Get that dead crap out of there - you may already have been infiltrated by mold. It looks like scarring on the stem.
Good luck

Should I try to replant it into a bigger pot?

You say you're about 17 days into flowering. I'm thinking you should be showing some flowering right about now. Growing in soil. Some random fert. No idea of temp, pH, RH. I would say transplanting is the least of your concerns. I would get a handle on the soil environment and the growing environment and clean up the bottom around that plant. Read up on nutrient burn, nutrient lock-out, and their remedies. Also. You are correct - there is no pH meter when it rains. Native plants in your area have adapted to that factoid and have flourished. Non-native plants wither and die from the elements- including pH. In this situation you provide the environment to a non-native plant. Gotta make it just right to get good results.
Good luck

Well Dr. Magill, your quite direc but I appreciate your no BS feedback.

The crap at the bottom are dead leaves...that's all. But I'll get it cleaned up


Thx for telling me like it is. I'll buy a ph water and soil meter.

Do you think the plant is worth saving? This is my first grow and I really don't want to fail. I hope it isn't too late.

Thx

OK. My humidity level is 27% . I need to increase that to at least 40% right?

Elizabeth - the game was crappy. I was hoping the falcons would win. Anyway - there are a few things that need to be taken care of with your plants. Light, temp, relative humidity, nutrition, and air circulation/exchange. Let's leave drying and curing for another date. Any one of these factors - left unchecked - can mess up your grow. Anyone on this boardn with a few grows under their belt will tell you - they have all messed it up once or twice. The losses can be staggering especially give the time it takes to nurture your crop from start to finish. Learn. There is no magic bullet but there is a mountain of information. Take what you learn, apply it to your grow, pay attention to the results. Next grow should be better. As far 27%RH you'll get a lot of answers depending what the strain is and time into the grow cycle.

I have been trying to figure this out then I looked at the inside pic and there it was you need to re pot. When you do be sure to add enough soil so that it does not sink in
